Booch

Personally i liked the "shut...them..up"

I totally agree

yes Winnipeg isn't the same team as when we played them last, also are playing a different system/style... since week 12 they have played Toronto x2, Edm x2, Ott, Mtl, Cgy and us (after our MTL collapse and we were spinning our wheels) Hardly a tough schedule down the stretch, lost to CGY who was playing well at time, but hardly world beaters by any stretch...I feel good about sunday

i say in his defense because he rarely forces a ball if nobody is there...or nobody he "sees"...and since he isn't a runner...well take the safe road and play another down Personally I am not a fan of this mantra..I don't want to see a guy chuck into a stupid situation (double/triple coverage) but instead take a deep downfield shot...maybe you get a PI..maybe you strike gold..but thats also on the OC to have a route for that as well, and a lot of times we don't

in Nichols defense yes he did a lot of throw aways...better than a turn over for sure, but also a direct result of his lack of escapabilty to extend passing plays ala Zack...or ability to take off and get yards ala Strev..can we win with Nichols style..for sure and it's been proven..can we win with Strev's style, sporadically BUT if he gets next year to show he has developed his passing (or is allowed to gunsling a bit) then he could be unreal if he has developed...Can we win with Collaros skill-set..obviously yes...but is he someone you invest big in and will he last...thats the big question...and also...is it already decided by him he is going regardless so don't even bother..and risk alienating someone else?...

OR winning a Grey Cup against a rookie QB who made first pro start ever in Grey Cup, with next to no experience...or 2 plays who basically decided and gave the win to them that would have been reversed with video review...whah whah whah is all I can say to that fan base...they have had 2 of the most luckiest season's the past 2 years..and it will be fun to watch them all turn on Fartado next year and sing for his benching when his mediocrity shines through once again

biggest excuse makers and "ya but's" going...reading some recent drivel there has been quite amusing...takes a lot to not post to refute with logic and facts...like Darvin Adams said at the Winnipeg Media session..."I just state facts" hahahah

yeah kicking myself as well for not heading out as 4 from my office just left now...sadly they are staying in Regina tonight but will be outta that province in no time tomorrow....too bad they couldn't build a bypass right over that god forsaken wasteland...have 5 or 18 drinks for me as well

I post at both...I thin here is a bit more busy to be honest, enjoy both as well...but i think the discussion (and squabbling) gets more in depth here, tho I think that's due to this site being a bit more football knowledgeable/experience with the posters

Rios as well...whom I think is gonna be a good player...was used and abused pretty much on all the big plays and scores...if you watch game highlights him and Hecht were prominently displayed...and not in a good way...also Fenner who came on as season went on was out there...not abused as much...but has less speed than Jones and isn't as good in coverage...though I htink he is really missed on teams and reason why we havn't been as good in kick coverage the last little while

*******

i think they are actually...

A big key being overlooked as well..Experience at the ever important QB spot...Collaros has that..Evan's really doesn't...and is due for a brain cramp or two...and big games often bring that from y experience...

and we should be able to pay him the most...we don't have to pay for a canned coach..and I believe Hall is on a 1 year contract, so if we go a different direction there it won't cost us...And if Lapo leaves for a HC gig elsewhere..again it won't cost us...so if we get into a bit of a bidding war...we should be more than okay there

I think across the board we are better too...Cat's are drinking up their own Kool-Aide and will be their demise..people ranting about their high powered offence...they scored 43 more points than us all year...included in that was the 64 spot they dropped on the hapless Argos early on..sure they played with a back-up QB majority of the year, but he played all year..unhurt after that and is a thrower..Wpg put up points with multiple QB's..injuries at that position with multiple guys, missing their RB for a few games..and an offence until the last game of year rarely if ever tried to take the top off of a defense...this has changed now...I see a win

Yeah he got jobbed big-time...I think Miller did too to be honest..Williams wasn't even the best overall returner in the league...so unsure how he got that though as a cover guy always tough to beat out the flashy returner. All this Ticat love and propping up in media is a bit baffling...but great in my opinion...I hope most keep disregarding the Bombers..you can even see with how players are carrying themselves in CGy that they on a mission and all business whereas a lot of the Ticat contingent are acting like..well Riders hahahaha

He knows he has a good thing here. Bordering on great..if not great on leaving a real legacy and have his finger prints all over the Franchise's revival..and possibilty of going down as a legendary coach in our history with more successive years here..that's something I see that would drive him and keep him around until he gets forced out

But if they can Chamnlain..seriously hampers them money wise as they are prob paying him for at least another yr. And that goes against cap..Oshea ain't going nowhere

Guess depended on who all voted perhaps??...some of the picks do seem "interesting" thats for sure

yEAH...Branson grew too fast..and is a right logistic nightmare travelling around..only went twice....no need to again

Small world eh?...yup...been there often..family ties..Many a day spent in Branson..Silver Dollar city and House boating on Table Rock...was almost going to transfer to Mizzou at one point as well...so you coulda been my fan hahahahahaa...but alas Cali came calling

I hear ya...spent a lot of time at and around Table Rock Lake and more specific Cape Fair...so I know exactly what you are talking about hahaah

If Walter's has gone on record as saying what he did...the mutual confirmation of wanting to be, then I would take it as a done deal eventually...and to me that is good news...Oshea is a big draw and gets the best..and most outta guys as a "team" if you ask me If there was trouble in the water, or a pretty good feeling of ways parting..Then Walter's would have just said we have talked about it, but nothing in ways of progress and left it at that...

I like the under dog status

Another interesting off topic thing is Holly Jefferson (Willie's wife) commenting on Instagram " you changed your life when you changed your environment..this season has been a complete blessing" Goes to solidify and confirm the power of a solid lockeroom and core of guys..and individuals who battle for each other..like in Winnipeg...as opposed to where he was...which shows in the amount of individualism and douchbaggery seen out to our west..be shocked if he didnt re-up here
