Where's this new kid Boobie something or other...Apparently he's a burner and a darn good receiver.. Haven't heard a bloody thing about him since we signed him...Taking into account our pathetic return game...why isn't he in instead of a nic'd Fogg...Look for more dismal field position on our returns with our patented 'catch and flop' act...I don't understand why we can't find a way to inject these signed guys into the lineup after they've been here for awhile.. Other clubs can find a prospect and get them into a game pronto...I guess it's the old loyalty act from our not so illustrious head coach...even if the guy who needs to be replaced is entering the game on one leg he trots them out...I hope we can win tonight but hope is fading and with that the prospects for our head coach continuing on here..You'd think he'd be pulling out all the stops...

I suppose time could still tell but I’m fairly confident the guy is bad. He’s 27 years old and gone through the NFL already, if he was going to be good, he’d show it more or less immediately. 
I’m not sure what your point on Preister is. Fenner is amazing on teams, certainly better than Preister so he’s more valuable as the back up DB. 

That's quite the assessment on a guy who's played two games...  and Simonise has proven he's better - umm....??
If the bombers thought an extra INT DB was so important, we'd probably still have Priester on the roster...
No I'd rather have Washington ready in case Adams or Dressler goes down
 
 

Ya O'Shea appears not to care about the return game. I felt ripped off when I saw Demski and Wild paired as returners vs Alouettes. I guess that's why they have a couple of returners in tryouts right now. Sign them in the off-season and look to next year. Seems like its always next year around here. Lots of season tix holders I know are not renewing next year however.

The reason the return game doesn’t work is because we don’t have any great kick returners dressed literally ever. And Fogg unfortunately is not the punt returner he once was. It’s extremely clear that O’Shea doesn’t care about the return game at this point with the way he constructs the roster but on the other hand, it’s difficult to waste a spot on a guy who only returns with roster size as small as it is. 

In this interview between the 1 minute mark and 1 min 52 O'Shea is asked why Kevin Fogg hasn't been effective returning the football.
The coach says "there are reasons" the return game hasn't been effective and that they are constantly working on things, but, "the things that have gone on" that have limited the return game can't be corrected during the playing season.
This kind of non-answer leads to speculation. Is he taking about firing ST Coach Paul Boudreau? Is he talking about an injury to Fogg that will have to be re-habbed (in which case why are you playing him)?
Or is he talking about something else entirely? Why should the media and fans have to speculate at all?
It's this kind of BS that leads people to conclude that the more they put O'Shea out there in front of the media - the more it hurts the Winnipeg Football Club.

1) Part of the game.
2) Part of the game.
3) Attempting to make the game as safe as possible, and protecting the product.
4)This is irrelevant. Obviously people are willing to stand in there and take those hits. They are compensated, they are aware of the risks. 

And finally, the hits this conversation were about, where not pancakes. They weren't even what anyone would consider huge "blow the guy up" kind of hits. They were, from what I can see, text book examples of how to tackle someone safely. And yet, still flagged. At some point, you just gotta play football.

Turnovers are why they lost both games. Saying the Bombers didn't show up is just flat out ignorant.

If Harris can't go they should play Augustine. In fact, they should play Augustine instead of Lafrance.

He's not. It's his incessant shitting on the bombers that provoked that response. I agree with quite a bit J5V has brought up, it's the delivery that chafes.  

Believe me, Dee... Luck can be created by hard work & preparation.  That is what I believe. 

Luck cannot be created. What you described is fundamentally sound play assisted by hard work. That doesn’t create luck, it just provides better opportunities to be successful or, be unsuccessful if something out of their control intervenes. 
Luck - success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.

Ah yes, the old tried and true cliche. It does make a good sound bite, but it really doesn’t explain luck or lack thereof..

Do you believe in luck?  Is there something “real” about luck? 
I believe in luck although I can’t adequately explain it or describe it. But I know it’s there, (mostly evading me). But I sit beside people who lucky, and generally are lucky. I see it in them a lot. I accept the fact they are more lucky than I, and hence it doesn’t bother me. It’s just the way it is. 
But to deny a lucky bounce or a lucky trip or a lucky recovery is just silly. Things happen that even hard work or lots of practice can’t account for. 
I cannot see how anyone can deny they’ve witnessed some sort of lucky phenomenon, either big or small.
It’s there. It’s real. 
“One of the reasons that we deny the role of luck is that it acts as a cold counterbalance to the notion of hard work. At every stage in our lives we are taught that the best way to make our way in the world is by hard work, tenacity, and grit. And while I believe there is a lot of truth to this, it also causes some perverse consequences.
For instance, when we’re successful, we’re hesitant or even ashamed to admit that luck played a role because we somehow feel that diminishes what was under our control.
Conversely, if we’re hit with bad luck, it’s culturally reinforced that that was our own fault. We’re led to believe that we’re responsible for outcomes not process, when in fact just the opposite is true.
We are culturally conditioned to deny the role of luck because of its impact on our search for meaning”. - Farnham Street 
You can go on believing everything is structured and that you will be rewarded for it, but all I can say is...good luck with that.
 

Cuz you are shitting on him by cherrypicking one punt while ignoring his whole body of work of the evening.

I hope you don't mind. I made a slight correction to your original post. 

**** U!    I'm not happy of the play this year but you specifically pointed out Medlocks play.   That is absolutely absurd.  You sound like a cranky old man who ******* just to *****.   Like the old fart who yells at the kids to stay off his lawn. 
 

Why give up draft picks for an American running back when we have Flanders on the roster?
 

Confirmed Troll Account.....
 

Quarterbacking is **** because of what we pay our rookies. Why would any qb or player want to come here from the US when they make $55,000 Canadian or whatever then have to lose money in taxes & exchange once they return to the States? The CFL is run by offensive linemen who are the most entitled & coddled group of players in the league today. For the most part, all CFL teams do is draft OL in the first round. So they get the big contracts & start before any other Canadian players get the chance at any other positions. Do you think they care about any other rookie players? The rookie salary has to be significantly raised to get good players to come here & perhaps stay. It's really bad now. Almost embarrassing.

Wow... there is so much wrong with this sentence. 

I come on to this site now thinking "what kind of stupid **** am I going to find today?"
I'm never disappointed. 

Where? WHo? who told you?
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Would be nice to get Poop back in the rotation.  Who's Cornflakes did he crap in?
Okpalaugo has to get his act together.  No sacks in 2 months and not even a defensive stat in the last couple games.  Not good,
