Super Duper Negatron

Why is Ottawa sneaking on 2nd down, down 10 with a 1:30 to go? Just horrible coaching.

Another domino falls in Winnipeg's march to the ugliest jersey award. The Ticats one is a bit plain, but MUCH nicer than ours. I just can't get over how ugly ours is.

Just saw the Als jerseys on Twitter. The Bombers got completely screwed. We were basically an after thought. Some of the jerseys have been ugly, but the Bombers is the only one that has looked boring and thrown together.

The clearest complaint I can make about the jerseys is this: if you remove the logo from each of the signature jerseys that have come out so far, you can still immediately pick out which team it belongs...except Winnipeg's.

Best mod I have seen so far. Hire this man: https://twitter.com/39Cads/status/502099408746717184/photo/1

The absolute worst part about them is that they look like the Argos. Who approved that? Seriously?

Why Argo colours? Makes no sense.

Like the uniforms, hate the helmets, but overall I am OK with these.

Really liked the Argos jerseys actually. Very sharp. Best one so far, IMO.

Could you elaborate? I don't understand.Some Argo we've never heard of has a huge game Because Derek Jones got a start? Possible... Because that seems to be what always happens to us. All the stars align for us to have what should be a rollover game and then we get destroyed by the present day Rocky Butler. there could very well be a player on the Argos right now, that by tomorrow evening, Rod Black will like more than Bo Bowling and Branon London put together. Scary thought, "Welcome to the CFL __INSERT__NAME__HERE__!!!!"

That is why this game is so important as a measuring stick. More so than last week's game. Previous Bomber teams would lay a guaranteed egg tomorrow.

“Our fans are absolutely going to love these innovative looks,” said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. “We respect tradition and our teams are very proud of our current home and away uniforms. But the CFL Signature Uniforms are intended to be bold and eye catching and push the envelope. And Reebok has worked hard with our franchises to deliver something really exciting.” TLDR version: These are going to be hideous.

Honest question: why is everyone freaking out that these are turning out to be ugly? If you read the press release, Cohon and Reebok are all but stating that they were *intended* to be ugly.

What, no love for "old boys club on Maroons road"?

We dodged the Higgins bullet.

I know this was meant as a joke, but surely you know that the issue isn't the "free" part. First, the service provided was essentially a shuttle service (Park and Ride), with direct routes to the stadium that aren't provided by the city's regular bus routes. Eliminating this service means people have to take a regular city bus, which from some locations is damn near impossible, and from others is extremely impractical. A system where the fans are asked to pony up the difference between what the Bombers are willing to pay and what the city is asking would be great, if it weren't for the fact that the city said a "pay" shuttle is not possible (for reasons that escape me now).

Didn't see this anywhere. Thought it was simultaneously lame and cool. Will probably buy some if they are even half as good as Buck's chips were. https://www.coopconnection.ca/wps/portal/fclretail/FCLInternet/News/CoopNews/!ut/p/a0/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfGjzOKNQgJDjdxMTQwsPM3dDDzdA_2MPAJ8jQxcDPULsh0VAVcp4JA!/?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/wps/wcm/connect/content+library/fcl+internet/news/retcon-pub+-+2014+game+day+approved+winnipeg

Jaxon: Good idea to leave out the single point. Once we told him that not only do you get a point for missing a field goal, but that single point is in fact called a 'rouge', I suspect he will start to think we are punking him and bail on this board entirely.

Is it too early to be whining about our DC who hasn't even had a chance to do ANYTHING yet with this new group of players? No.

His comments scare the crap out of me.

Are you comparing a bunch of no-name import rookies with 55 year old Henry Burris taking up a gazillion dollars along with their other older QB? I'm talking about a few people complaining after they signed Anton McKenzie. Apparently Ottawa has no budget at all yet we have an open wallet. What?

cmon give the guy a chance. let see what he got during TC. I'm not talking about his OC talents...I'm talking about his crappy recruits he got them to bring in. Boltus was one...there was another one from Hamilton. A WR...I can't remember his name. You must mean Aaron Kelly, who was nothing short of amazing for us down the stretch.

Serious question: based on what?

Willy AND Glenn would be ideal, but I actually think Max Hall would be a reasonably reliable backup.
