    As a D play caller my dream would have Fajardo dropping back and reading down field to see the only 2 guys he targets bracketed and an overall Cover 2 shell.

    Rushing 4 (or 3 with one guy really focused on reading his eyes for scramble) he'll be standing back there forever until they get home or he makes a bad decision with the ball.

    The blitzing makes no sense into max protect.

    Holm nearly picked him off right at the beginning of the game,  I agree with your point on forcing Fajardo to throw.

    D&M Caribbean Flava on Molson Ave near Concordia Hospital.     The Jerk chicken was moist and really tasty and the jerk pork was a really large portion for a decent price.       It definitely wasn't as mouth burning spicy as the jerk I had when I was in Jamaica so it is more friendly for people with a lesser tolerance level.         The staff was super friendly and everything came out quickly without much of a wait.   I plan on going back to try more.

    "lost billions" 

    Stock is double what it was ten years ago and have their highest earnings ever. 

     

    Just like when Nike went broke. And, Budweiser. And, Keurig. And whatever else underperforming white men "boycott" 

    I recommend reading up on Disney and it's current situation, it is fascinating.  

    The theme parks are at an all time low,    the stock is currently plummeting,  Bob Iger is fighting a hostile takeover,    Disney is reported to be shopping around Lucas/Marvel/ESPN/ABC because they are in desperate need of cash.     Rumour has it Apple might buy a lot of them out.     Disney Plus isn't working out,  they are losing billions and are hurting for cash. 

    Whatever info you received is dead wrong,   They havn't been in this much financial trouble since the early 80's.  

    It's not the same as Bud Light/Nike.  Those companies dropped in sales but still were making billions... Disney is losing like 100 - 300 million dollars per movie which is crazy.

    Can someone show how one can post GIFs on here?

    Explain it to me like I am 5 years old.

    If you find an animated gif off of google or some other page click on it to open it up.   Once the picture it is open and animating on your browser,   right click on the picture and go to "copy image address" or "copy image link" ,     then come back here and on the bottom right of the message you should see "insert image from URL".  Click that button and then right click and select paste.  It should paste the link for your gif into the box.   Click the button to insert into post.   And that should be it.

    You assholes who talk about "woke" as if that's some kind of thing. Caring about other people?? You woke *******!! God you are truly terrible humans.

    aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

    Woke is a real word.    Them pushing an agenda within their movies is 100% a thing.  

    I assume because you responded in an emotional reaction because I provided examples that are facts and not opinions and because you know what I wrote is correct,  you resort to name calling. 

     

    The fact that you think Disney "cares about other people"  HAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD laugh at that.   Why not educate yourself and see how Disney treats their employees which many are immigrants at the theme parks?

    Disney has lost billions going woke, it isn't just Me 

    It's a combination of them just putting out way too much content that it causes fatigue and second of all the "woke" agenda of Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy.    

    They are completely taking a dump on many of the cartoons/movies/characters that the parents (like myself) grew up and idolized and trying to replace them with either a female character or diverse character and thinking that people would be cool with it.   

    Luke Skywalker/Indiana Jones .... both guys that we idolized as kids that in the recent times they transformed them into completely weak old feeble whiny men who were nothing at all like the cool bad asses that they were in the 80's.  Both of them having young 20 year old girls come save the day and one up them and somehow the girls are instantly stronger and smarter then either guy ever were.    The results of Disney doing this is massive backlash and Indiana Jones as a series is officially cancelled forever after losing massive money. 

    The latest I read was that for the new Blade movie they wanted to have three female lead characters and Blade being the 4th character from the top and debating if they want to keep it an R rating.     It appears they do not remember classic Blade where the audience was 99% male and Blade was a bad ass chopping heads off to techno music and it was just pure violence and watching the cool guy wipe everyone out.   

    Disney is catering to the 15 year old girl audience and ignoring the vast majority of everyone else when it comes to comic book movies and action movies?  The box office numbers don't lie and they are taking insane losses each time out.  

    The cartoons is another issue in which they are catering to a very small niche of people and I'm not sure what the word would be but somewhat insulting the vast majority by pushing agendas within cartoons.  It's unnecessary because Disney over the last 30 years were already creating cartoons that catered to a wide audience of different cultures and people.  When my daughter was younger we constantly played Moana with Coco a close 2nd and both were fantastic movies that wasn't whitewashed.

    I don't believe the kids themselves are mad that Disney is pushing the diversity in the cartoons, but I am fairly certain that parents are tired of Disney pushing it on a continous basis.   Parents don't want that crap in kids movies,  the movies should be about the art and innocence and not about trying to push an agenda to check off boxes on some kind of checklist.   It really hollows the experience.    I think the tipping point was the stupidity of checking a diversity box for a character who is called Snow White because her skin was white as snow. It would be like hiring the whitest man in the world to replace T'Challa in Black Panther.  How stupid would that be.   

    Disney just needs a complete overhaul of everyone in charge and just go back to the formula that has always worked.   The brand has been tarnished so bad that I don't even know if they could ever recover. 

    I heavily recommend people watch the latest South Park that discusses Disney.  They went really easy on them but the  main point still gets through in it.

    Bombers D is better in almost every major defensive category.  

    But feast on this:

    • Montreal passes over 20 yards - 30/74 40.5%, 1,030 yds, 9 TD, 9 Int
    • Winnipeg passes over 20 yards -  55/113 48.7%, 1,957 yds, 21 TD, 3 Int

    I think we can all agree that it's much easier to defend against a one-dimensional team.  Yet another reason to be very optimistic.

    Very interesting stat thank you for sharing this with everyone.

    Stanback from 2-3 years ago would "worry" me for him taking over the game.  But he hasn't been the same guy since.      

    My only concern is Zach having a terrible game with lots of turnovers,  if he plays smart without forcing throws into double coverages and just let us slowly grind them away then I think things will be good.
