Westy Sucks

yeah as long as Morley and Greaves are healthy they are starting. Unless we've gone "Etch" on the offence and are now going to start six O-line men, with one being an eligible receiver. That's not as crazy as it sounds given Dan Knapp's background as a tight end. On second thought, it is as crazy as it sounds.

I'd like to thank Jim Bell for the years he spent with the Bombers and wish him nothing but success in his future endeavours.
Thanks Jim!

Welcome to the board Mr. Miller. If you know what you are doing, please give us insight as to why Mr. Bell had to walk the plank.

Never have been, never will be a fan of Wade-hot dog-chaser Miller.
 
We may have improved on the field but it's still the same ol' boys club at the top.
 
IMO, Bell is another victim of 'blame the last regime' without actually changing the people who control the club with their dirty little fingers.

Jim Bell is a top-notch individual.  IMO if he was ever given the full title of team president after Bauer, a lot of pain would have been saved.

Bombers too high now

God good folks.  I was taught in 6 man football in the 60's to tag the ball carrier on the ground.  It's not something that's new.  If the whistle hasn't gone, tag the guy.  No questions.  It doesn't matter if it's the QB or not.  Just touch him down to make sure.  

If I were to pick 2 tings that absolutely killed us last night, It's horrid Offensive line play, and piss poor tackling.... You gotta wrap up a QB like Reily... no excuses

Tackletackletackletackletackle!!!! , Jesus Christ that was horrific.. Wrap him up and he gets like half of his hundred..

Bombers have a top offense.  Esks have a top defense. 
Bombers have an average O line.  Esks have an elite front 7.
Bomber offense doesn't turn the ball over much.  Esks defense creates turnovers.
 
Esks have an average offense with big play capability.  Bombers have an above average defense with big play capability.  
Esks run game is based on Reilly running.  Bombers run stopping has been way better than expected.
Esks have a poor O line.  Bombers haven't been creating a lot of pressure with their front 7.
 
Bombers FG kicking has been lights out.  Esks, not so much.
 
Bombers have home field advantage.
 
Neither team has played as good a team as the other this year.
 
I'm expecting a hard hitting, close game, with the Bombers coming out on top.

We knew Montreal would stack the line, yet a quick passing game was not used to combat it.  The Als stack the line, we have just the 5 or 6 guys blocking and Willy is looking 20 - 30 yards down field.
 
The result was...predictable...

Our canadian content is a concern  and we keep sending conditional draft picks away.  From the limited  time we have seen Marve, I thought he looked like he had higher potential than Brohm, better accuracy, good arm, just thought it was more of a need some experience thing that Brohm moved to  #2.  According to Bomber website, Marve weighs 210, which is more than Portis and Brohm is  236.  If the short yardage is the reason, why not give the job to Brohm  who has 15 pounds on  Marve and 20 on Portis and save our  draft picks  ?

The media get what they deserve, from us fans who are passionate about their team.
That's the whole point. We are the fans.
The media get to cover our team as part of their job.
So do your job.
Don't know a particular rule? Learn it.
Don't know how a particular player is doing? Watch him.
 
Watch the damn practices and report what you see. You can even have your own opinion.
Just do your job.
 
You want respect…earn it
 
Touchy? Not without reason

I haven't got to see a game at IGF yet since I live in Edmonton, but I've made it to one day of training camp both years at IGF. The day I was there this year I was sitting right in front of the media group. The entire time they talked about photo radar tickets, they weren't watching training camp or talking about anything relevant in any way. When Gary Lawless showed up halfway through the day I moved on because it's bad enough when I have to listen to him talk about anything on TSN.

I don't mind the Debbie Downer stuff so much, it's hard to blame them for that.
 
The other stuff though ... is it really too much to ask for a guy covering the CFL to 1) know the rules and 2) pay attention at practice

Time to kick some ass
 
 

Sounds like Browning crapped the bed.

Wow, too many shots to the head, Jamel? Not a smart decision.

Great, now we have a junior football coach coaching professional football players. Who's next, they hire the head coach of Churchill High School?  I envisioned a staff when Walters hired O'Shea that would encompass a lot more experience than this. And if I get slammed for having this opinion, so be it. I'm tired of all the losing. Hiring someone like Dave Jackson doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that this is the right staff to get things back on the winning track. At least we know some Bomber traditions are alive & well. He probably came cheap. 

Any time you go into the offseason with Desia Dunn, Aaron Kelly and Greg Peach as projected starters and come out of the following training camp with it being the exact same, you've done a bad job.

I suspect we may see International-Greaves-Gossen-Morley-Neufeld by mid season.

I suspect that it'll be an injury that brings Goossen into the starting lineup.  We're not deep enough to just let him stew until he's ready; at some point he'll just be tossed in and we'll see if he sinks or swims.

That was a killer. And sorry to  say, when he needed to make his block, didn't. Mental mistakes are killers because they all seem to happen at crucial  times. I'm to the point that I'm tired of seeing garbage plays like that & things need to change. 

Scheme my pass rush....u can't convince me that Laurent can't push the pocket. I would say that fits any BS scheme.

So because of our scheme guys like Jake Thomas & Greg Peach are superior to Ted Laurent & Justin Hickman? I ain't buying it.
