  1. Stick a fork in em, RedBlacks are having an early turkey-nap
  2. Definitely. I have to imagine reading a defense and calling the right protection is easy to test for and review in the film room, so the coaches (I hope) have an idea of what is happening on any given play. Admittedly I too speculate at a reach because I don't know either way, but maybe that has to do with what's keeping Eli as a backup and not a starter, obviously only the guys inside the locker room know for sure. If we do get our backups some reps down the stretch I really want Eli at C to be one of them. Hard to judge guys in only a handful of starts but if he can blow the roof off, or nevermind that, even just stabilize things, then he should win the spot and there's one storyline put to bed for good. The all around better player should play, of course, and he needs a chance to prove he is the better player.
  3. No... don't want tiffs... koombaya, we're all Bomber fans here, even the chatbots (I kid, I kid) I'm sincerely trying to watch the OL closely, this is what I'm seeing. As a group they spring leaks, and it's coming from all across the line at times, even our star tackles more often than I'm used to. This season and especially the last couple games Collaros has also been holding the ball longer than maybe he should/needs to, and at times runs himself straight into the pressure, that isn't helping anyone look consistently great. Hardrick had it happen to him the other night, ran his man wide by a good 7 or 8 yards and Collaros spun straight into the defender, not even Hardricks fault (I don't think). Not sure how it could be Kolas though, or how a different C would have led to a different result, not to cherry pick... I'm sure you could show me examples where he is the culprit and honestly I'd love to see them (no expectations though, but I would watch) Yes, Kola is measurably undersized compared to other Cs, but that hasn't stopped Chris Walby from praising his play throughout the season. Is it just tire pumping or knowledgeable insight? Who am I to believe? I know I'm not supposed to trust Kola's high PFF score because PFF, I have it on good authority, is trash. What I do know is Brady is off to the races, and he doesn't do it by himself, and an OL wins and loses as a group or so the cliche goes. It hasn't looked pretty but relative to the rest of the league, our Oline has to be counted as one of the best if not the best units right now. Crazy though that there is potential to be even better than we are right now, relative to the rest of the league. I'm all for it. And that's totally fair and I'm all for improvement at every position. As it stands the transition is inevitable, 3 year contract and all. I know he was ranked quite high on the Rimington Trophy watch list and that's a big deal... of course they've been using PFF since 2014 so... that's a neat detail... no matter, Eli looks undeniably good mauling guys in the heavy packages, if that's any indication then the future C of our Oline is promising
  4. Maybe you should start a blog where people can exclusively read your insights without having to wade through all the uninformed fan boy goo goo gaga noises... or as the rest of us call it, fans sharing opinions on a fan forum. (don't actually leave, we all like hearing what you have to say, it's really about how you say it... NOT THAT YOU CARE)
  5. There was this one wrasslin move that we got away with (seen on reddit) https://reddit.com/r/CFL/s/nAGv7bEa3W
  6. Any Wheel of Time fans? Season 2 just wrapped up on Amazon, I thought it was excellent and a huge improvement over the covid-mangled first season. I appreciate how they managed to catch the story up to almost exactly where the 2nd book left off without having to gloss over too much. I find there is a lot of 'show first, explain later' and it works. Also mommy Lanfear please walk on me
  7. @Booch I thought I respectfully disagreed with one part of your post and even liked it and agreed with the rest, but you can't handle anyone having an opinion that goes against your 'expertise'. Then not for the first time this season said that I'm not watching (before, you told me I was too busy pissing and snacking). This "don't you know who I am" act is also tiresome and played out. Don't high road me when you've been on this forum personally attacking other posters kids you haven't even met! Don't make me go dig up the post, you know exactly what sort of jerk you're capable of being. Sorry to the rest of the forum for having to read this BS, I know its exhausting.
  8. I'm definitely old enough to be considered a grumpy old man, this morning especially.
  9. I hate the current state of healthcare in this province. Inlaw has been suffering stroke-like symptoms for the past 2 weeks. Doctors at the rural hospital they are in says they need an MRI to positively diagnose and treat them, but the rural hospital isn't equipped so they need a transfer into the city or to another hospital. Every day the nurses call a stretcher service to move them and every day they fail to show up. Again and again to the point that the hospital has asked us to perform the patient transfer this morning. I said I would because what else are we going to do, we need to get that MRI, they've languished long enough as it is. But I'm not a professional, I'm not equipped for this. What happens if they seize on the highway or trip getting out of the vehicle into his wheelchair? They are nauseous and dizzy, and i cant lift them alone. Just brutal. And what if I didn't have a vehicle? Are we now calling ubers to transport patients? I knew healthcare was bad but not 'no ambulances or stretchers available for days on end' bad. Definitely writing my MLA, Manitobans deserve better.
  10. Watching you be a dickhead again. EVerYonE has tHeiR takE I have MinE but if you disagree with me you aren't watching. GFYS
  11. Haha jeez I swear he must have snubbed you in the autograph line at fan appreciation day or something 😆Kola played just fine last night. All the pressure kept coming from Eli and Hardrick's side of the line from what I could tell. Otherwise though I agree with the rest. Lawson needs to stay on and Jake can ease himself into the bench. Grant is a gamechanger, we are very fortunate to have him back in time for playoffs. Parker is indeed a speedy guy, noticeably faster than other guys on the field. This punter is bad and seemingly gets worse with every game. Cole has a bright future, hopefully here with the blue
  12. Whelp the empty glass say it's time to call it. The sun rises on the Bombers, best in the West
  13. HH to Farhan, yumm yumm your tears of unfathomable sadness
  14. Here we go refs, I knew you were on our side all along!
  15. Devil's advocate says he makes the tackle they kick a FG to win, thank god he's a waif!!! Waif FTW
