Slack was one of the fiercest competitors to ever take the field for the Bombers, but his knees just couldn't last. Slack could stare holes right through any receiver or lineman who blew his assignment.

Well, if you are looking for a statistical condemnation of the current coaching regime, here it is. A whole ocean of ineptness.

That is what the Illuminati would have you believe- the reptilian bastards.

Yup. And he's still here.

I would guess we are about 5-6 players away from competing for the playoffs: quarterback, two O-linemen, one defensive end, a middle linebacker, and two d-backs. Probably one, maybe two receivers as well.

We are several players away from making a run at the payoffs, and you can put lipstick on that oinker if you like.

The Als are talent-poor and even if they wanted Medlock, they probably couldn't fit him in under their cap. So, even if they could get creative with their finances, there isn't much on their roster to pick though.

You may wish to stock up on tissues. And keep sharp objects well out of reach.

The Feep today was pretty critical of Willy's attitude as well.

Or, just replace the mother with someone willing to put out. 300 million people in the US of A- there has to be better players but we don't seem able to find the Sinkfields ourselves but have to wait for table scraps.

We have receivers who can make a great catch, and we have receivers who can consistently catch the ball. Unfortunately, they are not the same people.

He is this year's designated liability who keeps getting put in regardless. Like Kuale and Hurl.

Green has made more than one real bone-head play and I didn't think he was that good so as to excuse his brain cramps.

I also thought Hubbard looked promising, so his demotion is a puzzlement. But then, there have been a lot of those this season. And the previous season. And the season before that. Ad nauseum.

When I was watching the Toronto-Montreal game and not that emotionally invested in it, I had time to be more detached and objective. I watched both Ray and Glenn after each play and the difference was remarkable. As the players were gathering themselves after the plays, Ray was ordering them into position and urging them to hustle, whereas Glenn let everyone sort of wander back to where they should be. I don't recall seeing much of that generalship from Willy of late, if he ever did. That sure looked like the difference between being competitive and just being there.

The Argos may be there soon. If their backup struggles and Hajrullahu does not improve dramatically, I could see Willy and Medlock going to Toronto but I'm not sure who we would want back- a first rounder plus Coombs?

I'm not that desperate yet, but close. I think I would be willing to consider Tillman first (yuck).

At the end of the game, we usually remember the outcome before the "how".

Harris was a light in this world and as much as he is missed, he has left much of value behind. What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others lives forever. May he be at peace in that knowledge.

I am not certain what point you are trying to make, but if the individual cannot resolve his/her trauma, all it means is that there are now limitations on the quality and reach of life they experience. For most, it is resolvable.

If neither Willy nor Nichols is able to deliver at least a competitive performance, it raises a disturbing question which has been asked here before: do the people (GM, coach(es) and maybe Miller have the ability to assess talent? If the answer "no" or "maybe not", then it is probably time to raze the organization down to the ground and do a complete rebuild.

There is something called "ego strength". Some people can experience all kinds of bad stuff and shake it off, and some will be so traumatized that it affects them for a very long time, and some never get over it. In its more extreme form,it is called PTSD.

I think we're past the point of holding out for a premier quarterback and are willing to settle for close to average.

Kilgore did not look like a world-beater in his limited time against the Larks, but he did zing a few nice passes.

But realistic asshats.
