What's the new IP in the meantime?

just one away from the double double.

Wow, is all I can say, Walters is impossible to read.

And this is a very good thing. The other day I made the analogy of Walters being in a poker game. Now you see why. He handled things beautifully.

Hey, does Paul Wiecek owe Walters some sort of apology for dissing his handling of all things Bomber thus far?

No, I think Wiecek is still smarting from me simply telling him to "relax" in a tweet for which he blocked me afterwards.

He blocked me to for correcting an inaccuracy in one of his reports.

 

Friesen is definitely an assclown.

[Pascucci: Gary Etcheverry Bombers new DC]

Not my first choice, but I'm willing to hold judgement until they get a chance to prove themselves

[Goodbye 2013...]

goodbye to the flag ban maybe?

 

I saw some flags in the stadium in the last half of the season.

[So who got bent over the worst by the Exp Draft?]

Wouldn't it be funny if Brink were to be signed by the Lions.....

That would be amazing.

[Roster freeze goes into effect tomorrow]

expansion draft - dispersal draft is in a few years when Ottawa folds.

[GDT: 101st Grey Cup]

 

Worst CFL season ever!

That about sums it up - here's hoping for a lot of offseason moves by the Bombers.

[Is It Just Me? Don't Care About The Grey Cup Game.]

I'll definitely watch it, but I'm less enthused than previous years.

[RDS Reports Possible Major Changes To Als Coaching Staff]

I would love Doug Berry back as head coach - we never should have dumped him.

[Grey Cup Thread 2013]

Cats are in tough of course. But Riders blew the cap to get their roster, molly-coddle a a headcase and now potential criminal Anderson so its tough to accept that Riders "deserve" to win .

Rider fans want it both ways - we deserve to win becasue we were underdogs for so long yet its now a point of pride that they're no longer underdogs.

But like Leaf fans and Cub fans there is this strange sense of entitlement.

 

Honestly, if it's as bad as some have been speculating, they should have to forfeit the game. Not exactly a level playing field when a team willfully ignores the rules...

[Lyle Bauer wanted his old job back]

Good - Lyle was the one that foisted Kelly on us.

[Western Semi - Lions @ Riders]

Interesting notes from Penton in the Sun prior to this game, saying he talked to Khari, and something is obviously up 'cause he never stopped giggling the entire interview. Also said the CFL brass at this game all fully believe that Miller/Walters are taking over the football ops dept and will just hire a new coach. All can't believe no move has been made on Burke yet.

Also, Go Stanps Go.....ABS.

 

They said they're waiting until after the Grey Cup until they make any changes to the coaching staff. Disagree or not, it's not all that surprising.

[Western Semi - Lions @ Riders]

Riders are heating up and the Lions are ice cold - not good.

[Western Semi - Lions @ Riders]

Indeed - Refs just gifted the riders 3 points.

[Western Semi - Lions @ Riders]

BC's offense is looking pretty damn good compared to the last game (especially considering the weather conditions)

[Western Semi - Lions @ Riders]

Go Rest-Of-Canada Not-Riders!

[Marcel Bellefeuille's offense]

I agree - MB's offence is a breath of fresh air after these last two seasons. I'd like to see both him (as an OC, not HC) and Hall back next year.

[Bombers @ Argos - GDT]

I sincerely don't think the D was *THAT* bad.......Frito is THAT good.......

 

I dunno, at least 2 of those TDs, the receiver was wide open (like 10 yards wide open)

[Bombers @ Argos - GDT]

Offense played well enough to win, but the defence certainly didn't.

[Bombers @ Argos - GDT]

Still better than the white-on-white we had a couple years back in the Skydome.

[Argos @ Bombers GDT]

 

 

 

Nah, you can't bring both him and Walters back. 

 

They'll turf Burke, Walters will become GM and "put the focus on finding a coach that understands Bomber football better."

 

Thats what we do around here -- throw the previous guy under the bus before the tires even start to spin. .

Burke's been spinning the tires all season. I don't see how anyone could suggest firing Burke would be throwing him under the bus.

 

 

I agree, Burke is awful, but so is the roster. Really, we do not have a .500 team with Trestman or Huffer on the sidelines.

 

This team is easily 9-9 with one of those guys, and Max Hall probably wouldn't be our starting QB either.

 

 

The coach doesn't really control what QBs are on the team, so unless you think someone in our current crop of QBs is better than Max Hall, he likely would be our starting QB.

[CFL Scouting Bureau September 2013 Rankings]

 

 

What picks do we gave this year? I know we just traded our second round to the Riders, but not sure about the rest.

 

Interesting question. Based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_CFL_Draft , I make it that we have:

 

Round One: 1 pick (probably the #2 overall).

 

Round Two: nothing.

 

Round Three: 2 picks (ours and Toronto's).

 

Round Four: 1 pick.

 

Round Five: nothing.

 

Round Six: 2 picks (ours and Edmonton's).

 

Round Seven 1 pick.

 

So we have a total of 7 picks. Only problem is that over half of them are Round Four or lower and I keep hearing that it's not going to be a very deep draft.

 

 

we have 3 picks in the first 3 rounds and 4 picks in the last 4 rounds.... You think we'll end the year with a better record than Edmonton?

 

It's certainly possible - Edmonton probably loses out. We might as well, but I think we take one from Toronto or Hamilton.

[GDT - Bombers @ Stamps - no GIF thread]

Can't do much worse than Edmonton is doing right now. I don't care if we win, I just want Hall to show something to build on.
