I wonder if we see Lapo in Montreal before the season is over?
 
On the bright side for them, their D doesn't look as bad as I thought they'd be.

Rider Nation Planning Grey Cup Victory Parade Route:
 
Expert tell Rider fans it's only July. Fans scoff at idiot. 

The only way Rod Black could have fellated the Riders any more during that game is if they fielded an offence with 12 Sam Gigueres.

19-31 for 257  an INT and fumble is above average for Pierce in Blue and Gold, but not good on any level.

Not sure there is much else they could do but they may have been better off with either him or Courtney Stephen playing S. I mean both are important positions but you can get away with a weaker safety than you can with an incredibly weak CB. The guy flat out can't cover or tackle. Bad combo.

Yup.  It was no coincidence that Grandpa went from inaccurate happy feet/crapping his Depends/missing easy wide open receivers to the AC of 10 years ago in the 4th quarter when our bull-rush vanished.  I didn't think Gilmore was that effective until I saw how different the Als offence played with him out.
 
So now what.  Do we get Carroll back again?  Or pick up Huntley?  Or start Lucas with Thomas backing him up and start an extra import at receiver?  Watson can sit down for all I care, or back up Etienne next game, while we get Pierce or Anderson some playing time.

This, in a salted nutshell. 
 
That MTL team is no big deal and rookie head coach Gary Busey trotted out a very sloppy crew, especially by MTL standards. 
 
But when you got AC, even a 40-year-old AC, you're always in the mix. 
 
6 win season in Bomberville. 

Waters is in a race with Serna to be the worst Import kicker I have ever seen in the CFL. Never seen a kick that guy couldn't miss.

because receivers aren't supposed to be running routes 5 yards out of bounds and they aren't 1 foot ball to catch balls thrown into the dirt. 

I'm willing to gave him ONE more chance next week in montreal, if he losses again, it's time to move on from him and go with goltz this early. move him back to #2 or move him upstairs with crowton.
 
 
Buck and Jovon is the weakest link of the team tonight.
 
my stars:
*** Demond Washington, solid on D and ST
**  Desia Dunn, played pretty well in Nickel, not worried to see him again there
*   Jade Etienne, top receiver for the Bombers tonight, he definitely will start next week

The league's backup long snapper is working on an oil rig right now checking his messages, waiting for an injury.

While we're blaming 2012 on everyone, we really shouldn't forget Chip Garber.  That was just a bad decision.

That video never told us anything about the offense other than it is great. I coached a DW offense & a true DW couldn't work in the pros. In a true DW there are no splits on the LOS, the fullback lines up right behind the qb, Literally 5 to 8 cms away from his ass & he's called the "sniffer".for obvious reasons. The backs are lined up as wings outside of 2 tight ends & there is one wide receiver. QB pivots left or right. Blocking schemes include the QB Wedge & Sniffer Wedge where the entire OL from  right & left block towards the nose guard. QB either keeps the ball or hands off & because the formation is so tight, the wings stay slightly behind the play to block any leakage... that is players coming in from behind the wedge to make the tackle. There are traps & counter treys. The premise is the qb spins but the defenders can't see the back because he's so tight to the LOS that he literslly disappears (& he does) only to pop out suddenly from a mass of humanity. OL can tee off on the run game because they have no splits. Also from the center out on both sides of the LOS the guard, tackle & TE line up on each others heel so the guard is slightly off the LOs from the center, as is the tackle a little off of the guard & the tight end the same. So imagine an arrow if you were looking from above. This is a run 95% of the time offense with only one receiver split out wide. Clearly, this offese would not work in the pros even with a hurry up. I used this offense in bantam football & we averaged 300 yards a game rushing.... It is virtually unstoppable. The kids loved the wedge. Our OL just wanted to kill the DL & LB's. It was intimidating, nasty & mean.  Imagine the poor NG with seven guys coming at him off the LOS. It worked best against a 3 man front & was not as effective vs a 4 man front. Teams could stop it using a 5 man front & that is what they started to do....  .

we've already got a tall, fast qb that makes bad decisions in goltz

you figure Buck will be available to play against us in week 4? interesting...

I thought the over/under would be more like 3 not 9.  Baby steps, people.

Isn't Brett Carter the local kid with no chance of making the team..........and he gets the hardest working player of the game for the Bombers.......that doesn't reflect well on what the scouts brought in from down south does it.

It's not all bad:
 
Burke lived up to his promises, before this game, completely nailed the ugly part......
We have an exact and well scouted idea............ on what not to do...
We have established a psychological edge on the rest of the league.......other fans will expect to win 74-6 every time out
When we do score a TD, it should be absolute major party time
 
Must admit.....this new optimistic approach is really working for me....

People are just weary, KBF. That's what I put it down to. But bitching about Buck isn't going to change things. Both Burke & Mack have stuck their necks out for Pierce. Their careers are on the line. We might as well support them.... until such time it isn't working. Bitching isn't going to change things. One thing's for sure, this is the final season of this scenario. Something is gonna give if Buck gets hurt again.
