I don’t think it’s that obvious Noeller. 3. Earlier this year there was another 50/50 draw that was not claimed. The winnings went to the next games 50/50 and because of the pot being so much bigger, 50/50 sales were way up. In light of recent events, that 50/50 draw has to be in question now too. It was claimed. But the person was ineligible. Completely different scenarios.

I was lynched by my friends due to my dislike of Pierce at the QB position from day one. Didn't think he was much in BC and didn't expect anything from him in Blue and gold (I was right). Great guy though. But I feel a lot better going into next season with Willy now, than I would with Pierce even in his prime. I'm betting we see a much improved Oline. Likely will be the most improved aspect of the team (assuming the talent we have stays). I'm more concerned about our Rec now. It will be a true test to see if it was routes or talent that was hurting them these past few years. I suspect it's somewhere in the middle. Hopefully Moore returns to his down field threat skills that we saw in BC. And denmark actually gets to see more then 1 ball a game.

What's his title?

o.k...who is the best choice and why? Someone who hasn't failed here twice already for obvious reasons. Lapo has been stuck on TSN for the last few years, that says something to me about how in demand the guy is. Yeah he's the most experienced candidate out there... but that isn't exactly much to hang your hat on. Actually if you watch the interview you will hear that he said there are reasons why he stayed with TSN and turned down potential offers. Not to mention it's been reported/confirmed Oshea talked to him about the OC job when he first started but lapo said he wasn't interested at that time. Probably the payout from his last stint outweighed that of an OC Actually, I just read about this, this morning: MOS says he called Lapo when he first got the job, but never offered him a job...just called to "talk about football".... The exact quote "O’Shea revealed on Tuesday that he first approached LaPolice about the Bombers offensive coordinator job when O’Shea took over as Bombers head coach prior to the 2014 season, but LaPolice told him he wasn’t interested at that time."

Not to mention Mass is a good OC cause he had burris and a plethora of play making Rec.

I don't hate it. But it's just so boring.

Meeeeeehhhhhhhh

I once had a Rider fan tell me that he thought Stegall was half the receiver Matt Dominguez was....I spent the rest of the game telling as many people around me as I could. Just so we could all laugh in his face as Stegall continued to break records.

Argo's had him in this year. oh.. didn't know that, thanks... I guess that means he's at least still in shape and can still kick... Kickers don't have to be in shape... Round is a shape

section 211 for me

I'm routing for EDM. Not because I hate ottawa really, but I'd like to see Watson and Greaves get a cup. Along with Willis, Steele and Sherrit. I think it will be a close game but Edmontons Defense coming up with more big plays then Ottawas O. Here's hoping we see a score that adds up to the 80's or 90's!

Joey Elliott? He had a decent arm. Wasn't Lapolice the guy who would kick field goals inside the 10 all of the time? Same guy who would call a screen pass on 2nd and long? Yes, the same guy. But it was widely reported that Elliot liked to change things up on the fly....which didn't work out. I'd be willing to see what he could do with Willy....god damn it...I'm such a ****** homer sometimes. As much as I didn't want Lapo, I'll still be excited for this....ugh

Typical...Murphy could crash and burn just as easily as he succeeds and makes the Riders a contender again. And quite frankly are the Riders that bad? Next year they'll have Durant back which was probably 90% of their problem this year. But again certain people here will applaud whatever change another team makes but will **** on whatever the Bombers do. There's a saying about a "leopard never changes its spots". Uhhh....did you not watch any of their games? That defense was a disgrace to professional football everywhere. I've seen soccer players tackle better.

Can be said about any defensive back in the league. There isn't one DB in the league who never gets beat, especially with the wonky PI rules. DB is very much a position where you win some and you lose some and Washington is a damned good player. Hes "a damned good player" the same way that we move on from johnson not too long ago. this season he was bad. Real bad. Liability bad. Can he bounce back? Maybe. Can we find a bigger, better DB? Probably. I agree. I've been a washington fan. But this year he was out classed a lot unfortunately. I hope we resign him but bring in a lot of competition to TC for that spot. Which one of our DBs didn't get beaten badly at times? Even Johnny Adams who everyone is raving about this year had some games where he got beaten and outclassed. I think the biggest thing holding back the secondary was the lack of a pass rush from anyone not named Westerman. That is a good point. I just remember Washington being out of position a lot more then anyone else this year. And to be fair it was generally against the best Rec. in the league...Rogers, bowman, etc etc. So he wasn't getting beat by scrubs or anything. I'm totally for bringing him back for TC.

To be fair, harris doesn't care how he gets the ball...hand off/pass....he only starts complaining when he doesn't get it. And he's a solid reciever out of the back field.

I'm hoping for a LB crew that looks like WILD BASS WOODS LEGGIT. MTL has a good amount of MLB right now...that will change if Muamba leaves, but either way Bear Woods is a FA and will hopefully hit the Open market.

Not any worse then it is now. Except he'd be a rookie GM and have more on his plate, and on a team with less talent. Jones have the Bombers numbers over the years since he became a DC in 2003, the only he hasn't win in a year was in 2007. The Bombers only won once against Chris Jones Def since 2010. Here's his record vs the Bombers. It will be huge since we will be playing the Riders 3x in a year. 2003 - MTL DC 2-0 2004 - MTL DC 2-0 2005 - MTL DC 1-1 2006 - MTL DC 2-1 2007 - MTL DC 0-3 2008 - CGY DC 1-1 2009 - CGY DC 1-1 2010 - CGY DC/Asst.HC/Asst.DirofPP 2-0 2011 - CGY DC/Asst.HC/Asst.DirofPP 2-0 2012 - TOR DC/Asst.HC/Asst.GM 2-1 2013 - TOR DC/Asst.HC/Asst.GM 3-0 2014 – EDM HC/DC 2-0 2015 - EDM HC/DC 2-0 And which of those teams was he rebuilding by himself? Jones has experience in personell and scouting. He will be a rookie in title only. And for sure, he will hire his assistants as well. Rookie in Title only, and the fact that he's never been a GM before. But besides that he won't be a rookie.....? And again, he's never had to deal with the mess SSK is in right now. I'm not saying he's going to fail. I'm just saying it's hard to believe he's going to turn them into a power house by July 2016.

Fair enough, but that was before they had the 4, 1000 yard receivers playing for them.

Yes and then one winning season and everyone will come back. That's the way it's gone in the past and will go in the future. I don't get the "sky is falling" theory that everyone is putting forward. Like every team every where hasn't gone on loosing streaks that see fans finding other means of entertainment only to come back as soon as said team is winning. It literally happens everywhere....all the time.

"Knows nothing of a winning team"....except for those winning teams we've had. Just no grey cup. But people here of all ages know what a positive W/L record looks like.

It's nice seeing these games on a national channel too. About time, the CIS has had some fun football to watch the last few years. Especially in the playoffs.
