Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Ha! That's rich coming drom Duron. You sneeze on a reciever and it gets called PI not to mention they rarely if ever call offensive PI even though the receivers are instigating contact on the defender nearly as frequently as the defensive player.

I really hope Duron Carter is open in the end zone and tries to catch it from behind the back and drops it and costs the Riders a chance at winning the game. That would be poetic justice.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Why can't he shut his mouth and play football? Yeah he played well last week but it was his first time all season doing anything. Just play the game. I'm so tired of hearing this guy speak.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
Some of them were backed up so far they were behind the QB

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
The fact that we have stability at the QB position means we can develop Davis properly. I'm glad he hasn't seen much real game time because we've had some good QB prospects in the past that were either rushed into action or had a terrible terrible offensive line behind them. Hopefully in a year or two Davis will be a starting QB in this league.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
These aren't your uncles Bombers! I actually feel confident The Fever, and Davis could hold their own if Nichols got hurt.
-
Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
Didn't you hear though? We have a terrible offense and Nichols is a scrub. Averaging close to 35 points a game just won't cut it in the CFL

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
I've always been higher on him then most but I think he's borderline elite.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
They've lost 4 games by 10 points. Their offense is really good. Harris is a great QB. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired though. I think we should be able to move the ball on them. Can't take them lightly because of their record.. They could still bear anybody.

Game day thread: Montreal here
Bombers also averaging 33.8 points on offense. Good for second in the league. Even better then BC and EDM two teams no one will stop talking about.

I agree. The lone player left from the Ottawa Renegade that folded 12 years ago. Seems like forever ago!

Game day thread: Montreal here
True but then the next series we let them run the ball down our throats all the way down the field for a touch down. We need to be better on defense if we're going to keep up with EDM/BC/CAL our offense shouldn't and can't be expected to score over 40 points every game to win.

What does your dad do?...
Yeah Duron Carter can play but acting like a ****** bag after every single catch gets tiresome. You see a professional like SJ Green make incredible catches time and time again and he just goes about his business and plays football. Huge contrast. I know who id rather have on my team.

Speaking of receivers.. What about Derick Armstrong? He was such a stud the year we went to the grey cup in 2007.

Getting St.Germaine and Khan in the desposal draft was the main reason we went from terrible to respectable in 2006.

No but not many were ever as good as Charles Roberts. I think Fred Reid gets under appreciated around here because he was the first running back back we had after Roberts left. Harris is great, I appreciate the tough yards, the threat out of the back field and the blocking but Reid was so explosive. He was so quick off tackle and once he made hat first cut he could get into the secondary with ease.

Former Blue Bomber players
I was re watching parts of the Bomber game against Montreal on YouTube yesterday and I started looking at some highlights of some old games. There was a ton from 2009-2013 Obviously we want to forget about an era where there wasn't much winning but i just wanted to have a thread to reflect on some former players you remember fondly or thought deserved some recognition.. here's a couple that stood out anyways.. Fred Reid: Man was he ever good on some not so good football teams. I watched the video against BC where he set the Bomber rushing record and just tore up that Lions defense.. I believe he even led the league in rushing one year, maybe even two. He was so quick and shifty, if he had a longer playing career he would have been remembered as fondly as Blink Terrence Edwards: yes everyone remembers him, but like Milt he put up some great numbers with some really bad quarterback play. He wasn't overly fast but I can't recall a reciever that was so slow but could always get open so easily and turn it into a 60 yard touchdown catch. Jovon johnson: again everyone remembers JJ but I want to give him some recognition another way.. He was a GREAT return man there was one video of him running all the way to the opposite side of the field, just to run all the way back to the other and then he found his gap and took it to the house. He was always a threat to score or at the very least give us good field position. Steven Jyles: I watched the video against BC where Alex Brink got the start and he couldn't do a single thing on offense ( good one Lapo) and I believe Jyles engineered a 21 point fourth quarter come back and we won in double over time with Beasley returning it for a pick six. Jyles had a great arm, and was so mobile and athletic.. I'm surprised he never put it all together.

Odds and Sods - Montreal Als at Blue Bombers
Nothing like an aging population who hasn't seen much winning in 25 years.. Man were on the right track it's there! We were 11-7 last season and could/should be 4-1 to start the season but people are acting like we were 3-15 last season and winless to start the season. I get the frustration but if you can't see the good things unfolding infront of you.. I don't know what to tell you. Our club could play and win against anybody.
