My favourite was when they told the viewers that Macho Harris was on side. Well no **** its a kickoff! The ball is live. It's so bad it doesn't even bother me anymore. In one ear, out the other.

I've seen catches like that many times! (in Madden)

My thoughts based on last nights win.. -Loved Lapo's game plan. People complain about the dink and dunk but it was important to get into a rhythm early and move the ball, and most importantly.. Keep our defense off the field. Thought we did a nice job of getting our play makers the ball. Smith on a shovel pass, Harris on a swing pass, Davis on a hook. Head and shoulders more creative then our Offence in the past. -Drew Willy. I thought he was effective. Nearly 300 yards passing, 1 TD (NOT IN THE FOURTH QUARTER!!) Completed 75 percent of his passes. Now I know the game plan was simple but I thought considering how disasterous his career has been against Hamilton and how aggressive their defense plays I thought Willy did a good job of getting the ball out quickly. He looked a lot more confident in the pocket too. Now there's still accuracy issues where the ball has been either off the mark, or under/over thrown but this is the most comfortable and efficient i've seen Willy look since 2015's game opener. -Andrew Harris. Continues to be worth the big money. The guy NEEDS to be involved in our offense. Great safety valve for Willy in the passing game, and had a couple of huge runs in the fourth quarter to take some time off the clock. He has come as advertised. -Receiving core is an area of strength. Davis and Adams continue to impress. Smith and Willy finally looked to develop some chemistry. I can honestly see Smith catching a 100 balls this season. He's so good in the short game. Dressler looked a little rusty but it's to be expected. -O-line effort was much better. Only gave up two sacks against an aggressive Hamilton defense. Goosen was a noticeable weak spot though. -Pressure? I thought the Bombers did a great job of getting to Masoli. Front four played MUCH better, and a lot of creative blitzes made Masoli's life miserable. Leggett- What can you say. The guy is a baller. He just has a knack for being in the right spot, his defensive instincts are so good. Two INT, one pick six, one sack, and 5 tackles. Game changing type of player. -Secondary. I thought the secondary struggled a little. I was surprised to see Randle get beaten so badly on that dropped end zone pass to Underwood. Owens looked good last night, the guy can still ball. Fantuz and Tasker are also extremely good. -Special teams. Thought we did a great job at containing Banks minus the one missed field goal, Mcduffie continues to impress, I think he'll return one to the house before too long. Waggoner continues to impress on the teams, and a heads up play by Macho on the kick off. -O'shea. Finally! One of his best coached games since joining the Bombers. Seems like we always come out short on the challenges but we actually went 2/2 last night. Huge monkey off his back. The whole team looked hungry and focused last night. Good Job coach!

So quiet here after a big win..

People seem very happy about this. I like MP, you can plug him anywhere in the line up and he'll provide good energy, and he'll capitalize on his scoring chances. I'll never forget the game he scored 4 goals and almost potted a 5th! However I think on a good offensive team he belongs on the 3rd line. Not sure I like over 4 million for 4 years, but these are the glue guys that make teams good and they certainly don't come cheap. So overall decent signing!

I definitely miss read what you said. You need a hug though bud.

Wait so you fully believe we're going to win 2 or less games this season?

I'll never forget one of my first distinctive YouTube videos being of Mike Sellers running all over the Saskatchewan Rough Riders to rap music. Good times. Sellers truly was too good for the CFL.

Exactly. It's inexcusable for a 29 year old quarterback to have such poor clock managing skills. These are mistakes rookies make. Not third year starters.

And when was the last time we properly executed a fake field goal/punt? 3rd and medium sure but 3rd and 10.. Not too sure about that one. There certainly wasn't enough of a hold to warrant pass interference on the play. The refs got it right. This sequence of events weren't enough to change the game because lets face it.. The Bombers pulled out a stinker but in a close football game this is the difference between a win and a loss and thats on O'Shea.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not but I thought O'Shea really set the tone for Saturday's game in Calgary. Promising drive, Willy getting the ball out quick, drive stalls. 52 yard field goal attempt for Medlock who is the best kicker in the CFL. Infact we're paying him big money to hit kicks constantly at this distance. 3rd and 10 and we decide to do a fake field goal. We get one yard on the play and O'Shea decides to use a pointless challenge on pass interference which fails miserably. Sets up Calgary in great field position to get the opening points of the game. These are the kind of sequences that kills a team and momentum.

I don't think Calgary will be the same dominant team they've been for the past several years. They'll still have a chance every week with Bo. But I think the wheels slowly start to fall off.

Thats it. Season over. Nothing to look forward to!

Ok ok I admit. Week one was a disappointing out come. But I think there's plenty of good narratives for week two. -Will Willy rise to the occasion in week two? -Will Lapo's schemes be executed? -Will Harris continue to be the work horse we hoped for? -Will Willy and Smith find chemistry? -Will Dressler have an impact? -Will Adams and Davis continue to impress? -Will the o-line hold their own? -Will the d-line get any pressure on Calgary's suspect o-line? -Will Randle continue his dominance? -Will we score 30? -Will we come out with some urgency in the first half for once? -Will we beat Calgary for the second time in Calgary since 2002? -Will Medlock make a 60 yard field goal? Should be interesting to see how everything unfolds.

We started off 5-2 in 2014, we started off 1-0 last season, we looked terrible in game one this year. We've only made the playoffs once since 2008. We haven't won a grey cup since 1990. (im 25 and we havent won in my life time) So I really don't blame people at this point for not being very optimistic.

You think I was being literal? If that was the case that would mean for me to think we have never beat Calgary in Calgary since the existence of the league. Thats not true even though it feels true right now

One win in Calgary since what.. 2002?

I don't think he's a prima donna nor arrogant. He's just confident in his abilities like all the greats are. God forbid we get a hockey player telling it how it is instead of the typical "team game" "dig deep" cliches we hear in every interview.

Wishful thinking! We'll do what we typically do in Calgary. Play well, make the Stamps sweat it out for a bit but end up coming short. We never win in Calgary but we'll win the moral department at least!!

The reality is. If you're tall and you can cover. You're more then likely going to be in the NFL. A lot of talented players in the secondary here in the CFL but mostly due to the NFL over looking them because of their height.

Good pick up. Fair amount of NFL experience. Pretty good considering the NFL is crazy for DB's over 6 feet. Seems like he held his own. Any chance to get better in every area is always a plus.

Really? You cannot compare the two quarterbacks. Glenn has the quickest release in the game. He's never needed a great line to put up good passing numbers. All I see is a quarterback who is ansy in the pocket and hearing foot steps before they're coming. Not a good sign for a guy in his third full season as a starting quarterback.

And that's exactly the problem. You can't blame that on the coaching, the schemes, the players. Infact this is nearly impossible to fix. It's a mental thing.

The reason Kevin Glenn still has a job in this league is his quick release. Only him and his old OC Anthony Calvillo were able to get the ball off that quickly. If there's anyone Drew Willy needs to mold his game off of it's Kevin Glenn. You simply can't get to him the ball is already out of his hands by the time the pocket starts to break down.

We'll see. I thought some of Lapo's schemes were nice. The execuation just wasn't there. Too many over thrown balls, and happy feet in the pocket. Can't blame that OC/player personal
