Eskies have to have the best set of receivers in the league, and Reilly might be the best QB right now.

Its pronounced "Julian".

Its still going to take a game or two for the revamped D-line to gel, but the linebacking alignment looked better last night.

No. No. No.

I thought I heard that but immediately discounted it as impossible.

Shocker in Montreal- Calgary looked very ordinary as did Mitchell. Montreal has good receivers and Durant looks like he is getting comfortable there.

As nice as it was to win last night, and desperately needed, neither Adams nor Washington should sign long-term leases on apartments. It wasn't a banner game for Denmark, either. We need better from our import receivers, but Feoli-Gudino looked like he belongs in the CFL despite a dropped pass.

The weird thing is that I fully expected to see the Argos go right at Hurl and Carmichael but they didn't. I thought that Trestman would make that a big part of the game plan.

Maybe he had some growing up to do. Some of us take a bit longer than others.

I certainly hope the Bombers feel a lot of pressure here. Two sub-par performances in a row is bad enough, but three would be very bad.

Don't think Waters will be collecting pogey for too long.

We damned well better win tomorrow night or Rider fans will be chortling for days.

Okpalaugo wasn't as impressive in his first two games as I had hoped. Maybe Jeffcoat will step up.

I am not certain we have the horses to get into a footrace with the Argos. We had better hope that Ray doesn't find his rhythm or our defence finds another gear.

We also have an O-line and defensive tackles that are all-stars. Once you get past that...

Yup. Hall put Bass in a position where he was a fish on a bicycle and then let him go because he didn't shine.

So far this year, Alex Singleton.

Heresy! where is the Spanish Inquisition when you need them?

The Stamps rose to the challenge when they lost what- 6 starters and still kicked the Bomber butts. Lets see how much grit this team has.

Captain Obvious speaks: This afternoon, O'Shea said that Wild will be out "for a while". The hill got a bit steeper.

Not that we wouldn't want him back, but Muamba has not been the player he was when he left us. He's not even the best Canadian linebacker in the league any more.

I am going to make a bold prediction: Carmichael is so vulnerable and Ray is so deadly a passer that, if Carmichael starts and plays the game, we will lose. Hurl is still a liability but he can be compensated for a lot easier than an inept d-back.

God help us if Ray gets time and Carmichael and Hurl are still starting.

Much easier to release Bass once caught.

I wish I could be more confident about the Toronto game. Its axiomatic that if you are consistently bad, the problems can be identified and fixed. But if you are inconsistent as all get-out, that is a lot harder to remedy. The sea-change that Trestman and Popp have brought about for the Argos proves that coaching is the cause of inconsistency, and the past two games have raised some serious doubts.
