Just had a friend tell me we are flying someone in to evaluate Willy.....anyone have information on that?

I'm 100% fine with discussing losses. What pisses me off, is the constant fire everyone threads or the insulting titles that pop up. Those just make the poster look immature and I instantly put a * next to everything they say. Trashing a team (even your team) can be done without looking like an A-hole. I've been on the dump MB wagon for the last 2 years. But when he game plans well, I mention it. When he doesn't I secretly hope that he gets tossed, but I understand thats just not the way it works at this time of year. So I point out what I thought was wrong and move on.

Also the rec. There were a few plays, one were Willy got pissed at JFG cause he didn't react in time to a pass....may have been the interception actually. Rec need to know when to run an option route and when to look for a ball. The greatest ever was very good at that! This means that it's not all Bellefeuille's fault. Players are being taught what to do and how to recognize blitz's but they're still having trouble recognizing and adjusting pre-snap. Absolutely. As much as I rag on MB, and honestly don't think he'll improve. The players didn't help anything last week.

Marshall!!!!

While I'm not against sitting him for a week. If he was concussed at all or still had symptoms he would not be practising, let alone cleared to play this early in the week.

That's just the kind of comment that led to the demise (or near demise) of OB.com. Too many ppl who knew too much who took their ball to a "more knowledgeable" forum. Don't think so. I know why I gave up on "our bombers", and it had nothing to do with the people that were thinking they were more knowledgeable. I don't want to see a bunch of threads about "O'Stubborn" and some of the other silly stuff that proliferated in the last few days. And I'm not "knowledgeable" I have no problem accepting that there are people who know a lot more about football than I do. Fortunately there are quite a few of them posting at this site. I appreciate reading the opinions of people that know something about what they're discussing. How anyone here can know whether or not Mike O'Shea is stubborn is beyond me. Well said! I don't mind new posters at all. But when you start a thread and it's very title is essentially an insult to the HC of the team whose forum you're on. Well I wouldn't expect a lot of positive replies. Also it's friggin weak 2.

Glenn was NOT why they lost. He was absolutely outstanding yesterday having the best performance of any QB so far this season with almost 500 yards. Also, that interception was on Taj Smith. Instead of actually running towards the ball, he basically stood there. One of the main reason we lost was defence. Couldn't make a tackle to save their lives and allowed too many big plays. Considering just how close the game was, less big plays may have given us the win. Glenn will be a great leader for us going forward. If we don't finish well this year, it will be because of defence, not quarterbacking, and this would have been a problem even if Durant hadn't gotten injured. You're barking up the wrong tree with that stuff about Glenn. That story seems to follow him around. Great stats, horribly timed pick 6, but never his fault for the loss. And while that may be true, it's his MO. Good luck though.

MB......no screens....5 yard outs to wide side with back up....playing against a heavy blitzing team.....I chalk this Offensive game up to horrible planning. It's actually unbelievable to me how bad it was. Not only the fact that the screens weren't there like everyother play but that the inside recievers weren't (apparently anyway) taught to look early for a ball when the blitz was coming from there side. Watching this offence was like watching a train wreck...

I have been bleeding blue and gold for 20 years. I can tell when a team has it or not. It starts with the head coach and his attituide. O'Shea exhibitied à stubborness/over confidence last year and it has carried into this season. I am not foolish enough to think this season is done after 2 games but I don't like the signs I am seeing be it at middle line backer, the d line or the special teams that all are in need of upgrading. I am most concerned that O'Shea Will rush Willy back into action rather than let Brohm and/or Marve develope beacuse of his stubborness. If you don't trust me because I don't have à thousand Posts under my belt that is your problem. So how is Oshea being stubborn about any of those 3? I agree, they have been less than stellar but it's not like the pieces are just sitting out there waiting for us to come along and be like..."OH, there's our star middle linebacker!! Where have you been?" We can't just upgrade. It's been two games, one against our DC's former team, the other against arguably the best return man and Offence (two time east division champs). While we certainly imploded, I'm not sure what Oshea could have done to stop the bleeding. Bring in Marve?? Maybe, but there was no sure bet at QB at that point, and if you pull Brohm in favor of Marve....what happens if Marve stinks it up?

Thank you. That was one of the worst called games from Marcel. All hamilton did last week was blitz....why didn't we game plan for it? No screens???? Wtf???? No draws? No passes to the flats...it was laughable. As good of game as he called last week....this week was as bad. He needs to get his **** together.

All my worst worries about Marcel came true tonight. No idea how to beat a blitz which cost us a starting qb...get rid of him now??? I wouldn't be against it.

I pray we are looking at bringing in some real life linebackers and that randle goes back to his corner. We start the minimum amount of Canadians next week and get the very best athletes out there....we were dominated all around this week. And I hope the players know #doitfortheW....was turned into #youredisgracingtheW this week.

Things went south after jullians illegal block....all down hill after that

Not even close..what a terrible comparisonTerrible hyped up Canadian players that didn't cut it as starters on their former teams and we thought we could change that? It's a very apt comparison actually. No... Its not really. No one had tremendous hope for Cauchy.. We do for Hurl. We also didn't write off the kid after one game.. Against his former team.... And former coach... Smh. That's revisionist history. Lots of folks around here had huge expectations for Cauchy and didn't want to hear that he wasn't a good pick up. Yup, I hand a lot of hope for Cauchy. Thought he would grow into his position here and hold it down. But boy was I wrong, turns out its hard to play football when you don't like to tackle.

Yup if the guy could stay healthy on a consistent basis, I could see him being one of the top defensive players in the league.

yes!

Anyone have a link to youtube or anything for the game?

Yup, I do not want to help out any team at the moment. Unless we HAVE to, keep our qbs with us. Let the other teams suffer!!!

Yeah it was during the big run. He got tackled hard and landed right on the shoulder. He lifted his arms and by the time he got to the bench you could tell he was in pain. I would guess separated shoulder.

I believe they said he would be out "a while"....same with Emery and Mcdougal

That offside by Bastien was brutal. He basically touched the Dlineman.

I would think the better person wouldn't need to make any statement at all in an effort to prove that they are a better person,but whatever. But again, back to my original question in this segue: why does the trash talk get to people? It's only annoying if you let it be annoying, otherwise it's just empty noise. And all fan bases have segments who do it, so what makes the 'Rider priders intolerable where other fan bases are not. I don't need a recap of their behaviour, just trying to piece together why it seems so effective in pushing emotional buttons here. Why does the fact that rider fans bother, pretty well every other cfl fan, bother YOU so much. You keep saying to brush it off and let it be etc etc..but you're the one who keeps bringing it up. Listen, people don't like them. You don't need to understand why. Let it go man.

Can anyone explain why that kickoff wasn't a safety?
