White Out

Willy is a disaster so far

Wow. Will our vaunted offense even score a point in the 1st half? Stay tuned.

want to make it an avatar bet? Riders finish ahead of Montreal Loser of said bet wears the avatar of choice by winner for a week

Want to make a bet on who finishes with a worse record, SSK vs Monteal?

It's a perfectly legitimate point. Montreal is likely the worst team in the league this season, only better than SSK if Durant gets knocked out. This is a "show me" season if there ever was one for Walters and MOS. A home loss to start the season with our schedule tightening up like it does is a terrible way to start.

Yes, if Durant gets hurt. But a healthy Durant and Riders aren't as terrible as the Als. Lets not pretend that last year the Riders were on a 3rd string QB most of the year.

Not to start off negative already, but, this is a no win for me. Montreal should be the worst team in the league and we start off at home against them. Our schedule gets very tough; this is a must win. If we lose? Good lord.

Decision making isn't a tool like speed or strength that can be honed and sharpened with training. I was clear to draw a line at decision making and reading a defense. Let me make this analogy, it's like wisdom and intelligence. You're born with intelligence, and, you're born with certain decision making skills. You can't change either. Wisdom can be earned and gained though, and can compliment intelligence. Just like wisdom, reading a defence and being more experienced at the QB positions can help what is perceived at decision making but isn't. Call it poor risk management, I don't mind that. But decision making isn't a muscle in your brain or body that can be honed. Decision making in a snap second of time is a part of ones intelligence and capacity to process a situation. I'm not saying Drew is stupid. But he's getting close to me considering him "quarterback stupid". Maybe I'm misinterpreting it as bad reading of the D schemes and a combination of added poor risk management. Maybe. However you want to label it, Drew doesn't have enough quality of said item. And it's a little late in his career to just fix. Don't look now but he's 30 in November... this isn't a kid.

His game in Calgary last year was a good example of his issues. He looked great for some parts of the game, but when it was on the line he threw a terrible interception. He couldn't get a first down in the 2nd half to save his life either. His late game interceptions against the Riders too were just criminal. Of all teams to throw away the game on, the Riders, ugh. The worst. You can teach a qb how to read a defense better, you can help enhance a QB's muscle memory.. but you can't teach IQ and you can't teach "good decision making".

My post may disrespect the ugliest fan base in Canada by a mile? The most obnoxious, abusive, trailer trash garbage our country has? Oh no. So sorry about that.

My post earlier was , definitely very tongue in cheek. Of course with any joke there's a little bit of truth an I do feel like I've been on the right side of history with guys like Willy, Pavelec, Stuart, etc. Unlike Ondrej, I want Willy to do well. I think he has good qualities and has the tools. But as others have said he simply doesn't have "it" in my opinion after watching him now for a couple years. He makes bad choices and hangs on to the ball too long. Those aren't traits that a great CFL QB can have.

Honestly, it's so boring be right nearly all the time when it comes to this stuff. It really takes the surprise and flavour out of life,

Next we're going to hear how Peyton Manning is really, at best, a hybrid pocket/scrambler lol

As someone else already wrote, that's 50/50. Our O line has had a lot of issue last couple of years, but one of them is Willy. He doesn't make quick decisions and hangs on to the ball too often. We also have had a very stupid OC he appear unwilling, or, unable to coach that out of Willy. Oline, OC Gameplan, and Willy all share equal blame for his injuries and ineffective play last 2 years. It's super easy to just throw your hands up in the air and blame the line. Willy needs to show he's improved and start getting the ball out fast. Once that happens teams will start to back off.. but they haven't had to because Steamboat Willy like's a good 5 seconds+ in the pocket.

There's no more over rated player on this forum than Drew Willy. I really think people consider him an elite quarterback and he's accomplished nothing.

I think it would be only appropriate and good for the country for the Condoms to finish dead last this season. Let them finish their last season in their toilet of a stadium in the basement where historically they belong

def not from me lol.

My god. The BC jerseys are an utter abortion. Just horrible.

The good news is that even if they made a terrible decision on the pants that's easily correctable over the off season. So far, it looks fantastic.

Uh... That's a terrible idea. Kentucky football has almost same blue as us and the pants and jersey are nice. Gold pants and helmet are better.

Blue pants at home? Why? Why? What the ****? Of course they couldn't get this lay up 100%. They had to **** something up.

On Bombers facebook they posted a sneak peak of the jerseys

I actually laughed a little out loud while reading this. We're an awful organization right now. Just awful. Longest Cup drought in the CFL spanning a quarter century. You can say I'm being negative but I'm just a mirror for the reality we live in as Bomber fans. I'm a realist.

My point, Mike, is that people are going off the rails on DB because he's "negative" and "bashing" the team. God forbid someone in the Winnipeg media isn't a cheerleader for our sports teams /sarcasm I think it's great that someone is challenging the Bombers, would be nice to see someone in Winnipeg grow a pair and question the Jets more and Cheveldayoff and his snake oil.
