  1. two more years. I don't care what people think about Mike as a person, and all the rest of it, five years is enough time to get to the Grey Cup. Re needing a "big" middle linebacker... keep reading this. just checked elimimian is 225, Bighill 230 according to Lions website. Guy in Edmonton looks fairly small to me. (5ft 9, 218) Bass weighs 224 pounds. That's big enough for the CFL. You really wonder if quite a few of the defence guys were playing hurt. Bass was a game wrecker previous season. But definitely need to stop the runs up the middle. They did stop Messam in one game I think.
  2. Nichols is a good qb. certainly good enough to take the team far. We need help elsewhere.
  3. The election of Trump might signal the real start of the decline of the America as the dominant country in the world. I suspect that the rest of the world has finally reached a point of exhaustion with the destructive things done by the leaders of the USA. The Americans have been warring in Afghanistan for 14 years. incredible. close to three times as long as WW 2. Lot of people making a lot of money, of this mess. I just read that one cruise missile costs one million dollars. Already China has said if USA tries to back out of the Paris climate agreement, that they will take it's place, and already increased the amount of money they're putting in. But if Trump cans the TPP, (we'll see about that) that'll be cause for happiness.
  4. From what I've observed (admittedly not a lot) Thorburn's teammates like and respect him.
  5. People in Saskatchewan will be dissappointed when they find out the combine is about football and not about
  6. what a horrible moronic tune. and style from clockwork orange. should have used this tune if they wanted dagger
  7. Do you think the head coach has no input or oversight on the kind of defence/offence the team runs? I doubt that very much. Choices are 1. O'Shea approves of Hall's defensive approach; 2. O'Shea lets Hall do whatever he wants, and has no input. take your pick. .....Not saying I don't think Hall is any good, or the defence is not good.
  8. I agree dink and dunk worked great.... actually pretty smart Offence once they got going, they used dink and dunk, power running, and some long passes. Khari really mixed it up. I hate dink and dunk. And I don't understand why our D is so easy to run on up the middle. why couldn't they stop that all year?
  9. Offensive line is improved. Thought they played very well this year, lots of time for the QB, nice holes for Harris. For some reason I'm looking forward to Calgary shredding BC. Sorry the season ended so sourly, but thanks to those players and coaches for a year that had a lot of fun times. And thanks a lot DOD for the odds n sods.
  10. I really hope Areceneaux is ok, he looked absolutely destroyed after that hit.
  11. O'Shea must approve of the kind of defence that they run. It's his team and his responsiblity. It's not just on Hall, if they ran a shitty defence.
  12. prevent defence, prevents winning. odd cause they were playing very close to the receivers with success most of the game.
  13. Our defence smells. How to fix that?
  14. NFL longest field goals since 1970 not too many 61 yarders in 46 years DOH! 1. Matt Prater 64 yards Denver Broncos Dec. 8, 2013 2. David Akers 63 yards San Francisco 49ers Sep. 9, 2012 2. Sebastian Janikowski 63 yards Oakland Raiders Sep. 12, 2011 2. Jason Elam 63 yards Denver Broncos Oct. 25, 1998 2. Tom Dempsey 63 yards New Orleans Saints Nov. 8, 1970 6. Matt Bryant 62 yards Tampa Bay Buccaneers Oct. 22, 2006 7. Jay Feely 61 yards Arizona Cardinals Oct. 14, 2012 7. Justin Tucker 61 yards Baltimore Ravens Dec. 16, 2013 7.

  15. Need Int/forced fumble recovery/defensive touchdowns to win. and....definitely need Nichols to regain his composure and play as he did before his end of season tank job. Can't win if he throws picks. But he's been picking himself up and performing well much more than the other, so I'm expecting him to rally and play well. Good games from Nichols/Harris/Medlock (maybe throw in Denmark clutch TD.) + Westerman/Wild/Loffler/Leggett + control Rainey. = Bombers win. I predict a nailbiting cliffhanger.
  16. I like arena football. the games are fast paced, and there are some good players. This Looks like a pretty decent level of play. Lot of players around Dressler's size it seems. sounds maybe Mongolian? (looked up the surname, Kazakhstan I think. probably pretty tough dude.) thanks, interesting. LOL "we should look at"
  17. Actually, the Bombers should beat the Lions. I expect a win.
  18. Loffler should be making some serious hits, and great plays. Big game, hometown. ditto Harris.
  19. And Glenn is backup. If Moe can have one of his big games, BOMBERS WIN!
