    I read it and i will say it, dynasty. No matter what happens this Grey cup we have now played in 4 Grey Cups in a row,that my friends is a dynasty.  This team is special lets enjoy it while we can. There was a song included in the Oilers 80s dynasty video that sang " this is a time to remember cause it will not last forever" thanks big blue for another trip to the Grey Cup! 😊

    A couple of teams have gone 4 years in a row but never in the salary cap era.  Definitely a dynasty.

    Just watched the 9 minute replay of both games from yesterday. Man Kelly was horrible. I believe the votes have already been cast for MOP, and it makes me sick to even think that Kelly will get that MOP. It was about time Toronto sold out that mini stadium of theirs, and it was too bad ( well not really ) that their team and their 600k qb pooped the bed.

    Yup, and if Kelly gets a trophy on Thursday because voters are dumb, that's fine. They've done that kind of thing before (hello Chris Van Zeyl) so it won't surprise me.

    Brady will show them again on Sunday, who the real MOP is.

    I just want to know who JBR is. These modern abbreviations for everything  drive me crazy. I can at least google when terms like OMG or LOL are used but names take much more research. I guess I'm just to old and not with the times.

    Since when are initials considered modern?  JBR are the initials for a user name on this board not an actual person (sort of anyway).  Just scroll back 5-6 pages (before this whole thing took off) and you'll find it.

    I don't know if this is Steinauer's year end review, but from the sound of it he's not going anywhere and neither is BLM.

     

    I wouldn't be so sure. He had very similar things to say about Dane Evans before trading him.

    Orlondo after last season:

    Dane’s under contract with us and we’ve had conversations long since we’ve acquired the rights (to Mitchell),” Steinauer said in January. “Right now, Dane’s a Hamilton Tiger-Cat and the next steps will be determined in the near future.”

    Orlondo after this season:

    Bo’s a Ticat right now. He’s under contract. The way things worked out this year, it wasn’t ideal for anybody, including Bo,” said Steinauer. “But we didn’t sign Bo to a one-year deal, right? So, Bo’s a Ticat and that’s what it is right now.”

    yup....Plus Huff was very well connected and was a big reason for a lot of the talent that rolled thru there. and now he isn't a part of that....and it showed.

     

    There's been a lot of  talk about the Stamps downturn being blamed on Huff not being involved but is that actually the case?  Yes, he gave up the GM title to Dickie but he added "consultant" to his team president role and he's still in the booth during the games with a headset on.  I can't recall seeing Wade or any other team president doing that so it makes me wonder how much has actually changed in Calgary.

    Pretty good sign you need to recruit some guys and not just sign guys over 30 cut by other CFL teams.

    Calgary has been dismal of late in finding any players aside from guys coming back from NFL or guys off other teams.

    Isn't this the same salary management system that the Argos use? 

    They've had some high priced guys on the 6 game list alot over the past couple seasons (Harris, Muamba, Gittens currently). I'd be curious to see what their cap savings have been.

    I don’t think the Stamps will win. 
    McCheese reminds me of Kerwin Bell minus the spike to the junk.

    When the chips are up he plays well enough, and can throw a nice quick hitter.
    I just don’t see him, even playing within his rotund self, doing enough to win a playoff game. 

    I see it looking similar to last week with BC in the place of the Bombers. 

    As long as he's still playing, he can still shoot for that goal!

    Calgary did look like crap against us last week but it was a nothing game.  The week before was a game that mattered for both sided and they whooped the Lions (in BC too).  McCheese only through for 123 yards but the Stamps still came away with a 41-16 win.   

    If they're going to have a shot at the upset, they need to follow that game plan - limit what McCheese is asked to do & run the ball down BC's throat.  The Stamps also didn't have Carey for that game either so having him back in the line-up only strengthens their run game.

    Good for the Lions not appealing... it definitely makes a difference in their line-up, but he earned that suspension. 

    It wasn't because it was the right thing to do, it was simply an attempt to make sure they have their best roster available if they make it past Calgary.  If he appealed and lost (which he would have), he'd be available this weekend but would have to serve the suspension during the West final against us.

    I'd do it this way too but let's not pretend it was anything but a strategic move on their part.
