I thought I read that Manny didn't practice today. So not sure I'd say he's going to be in the line up.

That sums up this post pretty well.

Yup, unless we can get someone who is much better than those three americans. I honestly see no reason to change it up. They have come together as a group and that goes a long long way to playing like a championship line.

I'd add Mcduffie to that list.

I'd like to see more pressure from the D as well. Especially with Loffler roaming around back there. Stuff the run, pressure the QB. Turn overs will come.

anyone else seeing BC get absolutely destroyed next week? No Manny, outside in CGY. I'm picking CGY by 20+

Loffler didnt have time to stop and say...oh ok he didn't catch it. He was in the air when Manny tipped the ball away. He was making a football play during the most important game of the year to seperate the ball from the rec. Didn't lead with his head. Even turned away from the hit. Two big guys running like that, there's bound to be an accident here or there. They called Loffler only cause Manny didn't get up. it unfortunate, but you can't penalise guys for accidents. If Loffler had jumped under Manny's chin, then sure that's not good. But he didn't. Manny was Ko'd as a result of playing hard football. Not cause Loffler tried to hurt him.

two big guys running full tilt towards each other. Loffler did not lead with his head. Turned away from the hit. The ball had just been tipped away as Loffler went for contact. Slowing it down and analysing is one thing. But in real time. There's no chance to change what you're doing. It happens way way way to fast. Like I said Loffler didn't do anything illegal. He got penalized because Manny got KO'd. Case in point...Dressler gets leveled the play before the field goal..no penalty on the same type of hit. Only one difference. Dressler got up. Accidents happen. When there is no illegal actions involved, you can't penalise a guy for an accident.

my thinking too. He played really well. I'm fine with him coming into next year as the starter!

The other part is, how has Richards not been able to even get a look in this O. Is he still that far off?

about time. I've always believed Kohlert could be a top CND rec in this league, but his play has dropped considerably. I've also believed that JFG has been under used since joining the bombers. So hopefully he performs well this week and makes another couple of clutch grabs!!

It's also everyone's first year in this system. While I think things could be better, I'm willing to give them a break due to it being new. Next year at this time I'm hoping (assuming Lapo isn't a HC somewhere) things will be better than they are now. Saying that I still think our O is better than what the stats say. For the most part they've been able to put drives together when they needed to be. Big plays, solid runs, long drives etc. The bombers have gotten it done in almost every way you could want all year long.

I'm so glad the talks have stalled. I hope Jones lets him walk!

Glenn and the Bombers (not the argos) first round draft pick for franklin? too steep? maybe. What does edmonton need that the bombers have?

does the game start at 6 or 7 tonight?

You legit just described my situation, except I don't bring my son yet (he's two).

Do you happen to sit in 211? Cause there's one behind me, that's the worst!!!

he's not the back up.

Not true at all. At this point in the year, you don't make a QB change to win the game. You make to protect your starter. There's zero reason to believe Davis/Glenn would have changed anything. However Nichols was out there taking hits for no reason.

I agree with what you're saying about the culture of fear. But anyway. Where I grew up, you definitely needed to lock your doors. And that part of the movie exaggerated the culture we have in Canada. Made an attempt to make it seem like we live in a utopia where no one is afraid of anyone else so we never lock our doors. Which just isn't true. ANYWAY...picks Ottawa? I"m guessing he hasn't seen Burris play in the cold.

god i hate rider fans.

Thanks for the write up. I will say though, I don't know who Mr. Moore talked to, but I sure as hell lock my doors when I leave. Hell I lock my doors when I'm home during the day. That part of his movie was some what....exaggerated.

Self preservation and no fumbles!

lol No. Considering one guy on that list is our CND rec who will never ever be a yac contributor and the other is someone who is our clutch rec/TD machine. Hard to get yac yards when your catching passes in the endzone. or two yards away from it.

Denmark is only on that list cause all he does is, CATCH TD's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
