Seriously? Smitties or Pony Corral? You're really looking for quality food aren't you? Why don't you just go to Costco and pick up their plate of wings and eat them at your place. They'd probably taste a whole lot better then the crap they serve at either of those 2 restaurants (and I use the term "restaurant" lightly when I speak of either of those places). where do you like wings from? Round Table.... ******* amazing

Walters also made a trade for Neufeld soon after he was promoted. A trade that a number of people on this board said was a bad one. I gotta say - it is looking like one hell of a good trade right now (getting rid of a guy going to the NFL and a later round draft pick for a SOLID starting NI oline)

I really liked how we used Pontbriand and Fitzgerald in our last game - it seems like we have been consistently increasing their workload every week.

???? Romby just wasn't getting open at all. It was painful. Nah you're way off. Romby was wide open on two plays that would have been TDs if not for obvious underthrows by Willy. No need to know the play call. I'd call it wide open (like really painfully wide open) on one play (the one in the endzone) and basically open on the second play (he had basically a full body on his cover) The endzone play Romby didn't have much of a chance because the underthrow left him out of position and standing still on the jump ball (whereas his defender was jumping from a running start and in the better position) - throwing 5-15 yards further would have been a td - it was a big window where the only bad option was the underthrow. The second play was a much tighter window - basically Willy needed to hit a 3-5 yard window on a receiver in stride - but Romby was definitely open for an easy TD on an accurately thrown ball.

To be fair - Bryant was ridiculously open for a TD and Willy underthrew him - I would even go so far as to say Bryant was also open on a second play that Willy underthrew and would have resulted in a TD. Willy doesn't underthrow those balls and Bryant is something like 2 catches for 60 yards and 2 tds

So when do we start calling him "The Shermanator"...

Pretty sure I bring a beer into the wrong meeting (or even most meetings) and I wouldn't be shocked to be clearing out my desk soon thereafter

Yeesh - sounds like Bobby is getting suicidal...if anyone sees him at IGF make sure and give him a hug... I'm guessing the Malaysian plane getting shot down today isn't sitting well with him.

The defensive depth chart looks ******* insane every single week.... if we were losing it would be one of the things people would point out as something that makes us laughable.

Is it possible that he changed his mind because he expected a whistle calling the play dead, but it never came? And so failing to prompt a quick whistle, he decided he might as well try to advance the ball. O'Shea said he would have an answer on the 'knee-down' ruling today - hopefully some scribe asks about it and tells the rest of the world. AluCsRed - that's an interesting observation and question about BB waiting to touch Whitaker. But we've all seen many calls where officials whistle a dead ball even though the downed ball-carrier hasn't been touched. That's what I figured happened... he put his knee down and kind of looked to the refs but then very quickly got up and started running. I think he was expecting a whistle from the ref's right away and when it didn't happen was decided to move forward to go down more quickly.

Chad Johnson

John White is a player - He impressed the **** out of me in the Ottawa game with his blocking. He wasn't running half bad either.

This is as frustrating as watching all of the un-subtitled Spanish scenes in Breaking Bad... I'm unsure of Troy Smith but think he is able to put together some big games. Despite what people are saying about the Alouettes right now, they are always/still a good team and it will took a complete team effort from the Bombers to beat them. In particular, I hope Howard can handle the Al's rush but I am predicting a close match with the Alouettes coming out on top.

I don't think it's just you.... yes he's always been known as "Thick Nick" but this year he just looks plain fat and slow.... not sure he ever really got into "shape" after the injury... If you take into account their relative size, a guy like Dan Knapp is in significantly better shape than Nik Lewis Dan Knapp looks real athletic for an OL...

Might as well be his highlight video. I was gonna say... that receiver had some speed and moves after the catch...

Really hope this was a league minimum fine at least...

Anthony Allen

Gotta say I don't particularly like this fine... It really looked like Willis made a conscious effort to turn his shoulder and lower it into Collaros when he was making the hit.

That's all well and good for people with unlimited data plans, but some of us live in provinces where they rape you for using data. I mean... radio streams are 56-112 mb of data per game... even the crappy AB plans are enough to handle that a couple times per month

I think they know that Huff is too smart to get caught napping and just lose Peach for nothing. Huffer is probably weighing offers right now from several teams, and as the National OL go down to injury, Peach's value is only going to go up. Because he has never put a valuable player on his PR and subsequently lost that player to another team. Especially not a first round draft pick.

Burke won't get a head coaching job in the CFL again for a long long time. gregg Marshall will get one again first. To be fair - Greg Marshall got screwed in SSK - screwd hard

In the first Q, we had crazy DL rush/blitz schemes and left the flats open for Walker to exploit or if we didn't stop him in the backfield, run for 10-15 yards... classic Etch. After that didn't work, he retreated to a more CFL zone D. We sent four DL almost all game with the occasional safety or LB blitz. Seemed like Wild (for the most part) took a lot more of a 'contain' role than 'all or nothing' pressure. I think he gambled hard on getting to Burris in the 1st Q, it didn't work and, thankfully, he recognized that. Later in the game, he started getting a bit Etch again but by that time, the D was rolling and Walker was off his game. Just my opinion of course... haven't rewatched the game... not that I can thanks to TSN... Honestly, the thing that stood out most to me is that it looked like he stopped allowing them to isolate Bucknor in man coverage situations and he stopped sending Wild after Burris all the time. You nailed it with your assessment, imo. I don't think I saw Leggett lining up in the box as much either, because by the time he was backpedaling into position early in the game, Burris already had the ball out of his hands and Leggett wasn't there in the secondary. Definitely looked like Bucknor had a part in allowing a bunch of the yards on the first 3 td's HOWEVER - it seems like when they switched their scheme to keep him from being isolated he played very well (his positioning with support over the top was very good)

Oh god Grigby's first touchdown run... his change from forward to sideways was pretty sweet Seemed like Bucknor was getting picked on a little at the start Wow... all three of Grigby's touchdown runs were really slick actually

Exactly this - If he isn't here practicing they can keep his rights without paying him by suspending him. If he is here and "ready to practice" they have to place him on the IR to have him on the roster

Thursdays are great nights. Funny how the same people will willingly go to a Jets game at 8 pm on a Monday night but ***** about evening CFL games during the week. I'd be totally good with any day of the week except Thursday... literally the only day of the week that sucks for me
