Winnipeg is a great sports city. Let's face it. A Winning football club will generate more interest on a station like 1290 . If we were 2-6 instead of 6-2 we probably wouldn't hear much. People are still in the honey moon stage with the Jets but if they don't start winning this year and the Bombers are among the elite teams I can see more air talk on the radio dedicated to the Bombers in the future.

So Demski has really dropped off since the first two weeks, anybody else wondering if this is making him unhappy in Saskatchewan. Would be a nice add in February. Also what is the deal with Lafrance?
I would love to snag one of Demski or Coombs in the off season. That would be a huge move for the Bombers.

I really enjoy Petans game, his passing skills are phenomenal. It's obvious he will never get a full chance on the jets. I hope he gets an opportunity on a team that needs some offense. He's basically a top six or bust player but unfortunately he won't be that player for the Jets.

You forgot to mentioned that he was stoked about signing in the IFL... or something that definitely wasn't CFL...
Pacman has actually had a very good career, despite his continued off-field issues... Richardson, many will forget, actually had a very good rookie season... I don't care to look up the stats but I think he may have had 1000 yard behind a very good Cleveland O-line*...
*another fun fact that many forget, Cleveland had one of the league's best o-line for many years... if only they could have upgraded their QB, receivers, running backs, full backs, D-line, linebackers, corners, safeties and coaching staff... they might have had a pretty good team...
He had an okay rookie year. 960 yards with a 3.6 YPC I'm sorry but another under 4.5 shouldn't be congratulated. They simply chose to give him the ball time and time again. His career YPC is an abysmal 3.3 he simply can't read the right hole and when you have terrible awareness like that it's next to impossible to be taught. There's a reason why he was out of the league within 4 years despite being a third overall draft pick..

I wouldn't doubt it was orchestrated by Murphy.
Remember when he organized the signing of Pacman Jones for us so that Pacman could go online and stream to fans high as a kite talking about how he was going to play corner, receiver, kick returner, punt returner and score 4 touchdowns a game?
Oddly enough he's had a pretty good NFL career. The fact that was 8 years ago and he's still in the NFL. No doubt in my mind he would be a productive player. His speed was/is something else. Not like Trent Richardson who's a fat over weight running back who's skill set wouldn't even be suited for the CFL

I just find sometimes he's worth on our team is more than some think . The fact of how multidimensional he is. He probably could play DB if asked.
At times, he just can't be stopped. When I went to the Edmonton game last year, they could not cover him. Unfortunately he only lasted the first half due to injury.
Yes his health, big question mark, but can't question his consistent productivity when on the field.
I feel Dressler in a way is like Messam who a lot were righting off before his time had expired.
I think some expected Smith to be the big play guy and Dressler to be productive but not dominant. Dressler has done everything and more in my eyes since being a Bomber and his play hasn't trickled off at all. He will be a huge part of our offense down the stretch but a trio of Adams-Dressler-Walker would be absolutely dangerous and definitely put our core with the very best in the league.

Is Ryan Leaf in jail and/or sober?
He's actually worked with the NFL this last draft and mentored NFL hopefuls. He fully takes responsibilities for his actions and his career. He's really an interesting guy to hear talk. Very open and honest about his past and pretty intelligent too.

Id drop dressler in a heart beat if it ment walker was coming here...denmark too.
I wouldn't drop Dressler. He's our best reciever when healthy. Denmark unfortunately has been mostly invisible. It's too bad because him and Nichols had such good chemistry and part of the reason for our resurgence was the play of Nichols and Denmark together. I'd love for us to make a big mid season move. We're a good football club and another receiving threat would certainly help this offense.

I give Ripper credit for coming on here, win or lose, unlike a lot of other fans who only show up when their team is winning or we are struggling. You also got to cut him some slack because... Riders.
I don't always or usually as a matter of fact agree with his opinion but I do give him credit for backing up his opinion, and adding to the discussion.

It's going to be a dog fight in the west this season. Just have to take care of business when we play and everything will take care of itself. If we beat a scrappy Montreal team we going into labour day sitting pretty at 7-2 I like our chances at 8-3 or 9-2 after the home and home against the Riders.

He's ok but leaves things too close. He had a killer instinct he would be great. As is he makes errors.
His play calling is average but his schemes and " X's and 0's" are probably the best in the league if not right near the top.

How many more points could they have had if Lapo doesn't get too cute on the opening drive and call that brain dead fake? How about if he kept it simple and kept pounding the running backs rather than trying to pass it in? Lapo did good and Lapo did bad when he tried to outsmart everyone. Story the guys entire career. Smart man, knows his ****, gets too in his own head and too conservative for his own good. Only reason we didn't curb stomp the Esks on the scoreboard.
If it worked Lapo would have looked like a genius. I don't necessarily agree with it but we had a few games last season where the gadget play worked and we praised Lapo for it.

Just got back from the game;
my 3 stars tonight were
1. Harris the RB
2. Harris the Receiver
3. Adams
HH to the secondary + Leggett. Carmichael got beat a few times but over all seemed like the secondary was playing with some fire
What about the man getting these guys the ball? 80 percent passing the ball, 4th straight game with no turnovers, and 10 yards shy of 400 yards, not to mention a modest 27 yards on the ground.

Haha! I mean as funny as it is I don't think we need to snoop to his level. Let the play do the talking. I'm ok with every other team under estimating Nichols.. Just going to make it that much sweeter when we pull out the W

Statement game for the blue and gold. One win out of first. How sweet it is.

Edmonton has played Calgary or us yet
I wouldn't call them elite just yet. They're a good football team. Are they as good as there 7-0 record indicates? Probably not but give them credit for pulling through in crunch time. Reilly and Nichols are very similar in that manner. Both QB's are one and two respectfully in fourth quarter comebacks this season. I think this game will go down to the wire again. Hopefully we can put a ***** in the armor. If we win we're only one game out of first and up 1-0 on the season series. How crazy is that.

What is stupid about it Mike? Nichols stats are no better than Glenn's
Well for one Glenn always has nearly double the INT's and the Bombers have nearly more then double the wins. So take your 40 old Glenn I'll take Nichols any day. Twice on game day

We lost 2 also with DD. Went to 3 and won one. Just by off chance our rb set new grey cup rushing record in the one that we won. Just sayin. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Harris to do that
It really shows a lot about your fan base.. The fact DD was considered royalty and now that he's on another team his name and legacy are dirt.

2nd I mean yes we can always get better at every position but this has quietly become a strength of our team.
