Do we really want to bring Muamba into this mess? It would be like bringing more passengers onto the Titanic.

The team is letting the fans know that the fat lady has begun to sing. What we see from the outside and at a distance, they see up close and often, so they have given up. They will go through the motions, maybe pay for their jobs but none of them are planning on what to spend their playoff bonuses on. Sad times once more in Bomberland and the broadcast commentators are saying it out loud now.

According to the post-game shows on both OB ans 1290, there is a consensus that Bellefeuille will last out the season due to both O'Shea's loyalty to his hires and also because the season is de facto over, and bringing in another defensive coordinator would be a waste of time and money. Both shows were highly critical of Bellefeuille and that he had been kept on for so long in the face of overwhelming evidence that he is incompetent. I have no doubt that O'Shea has doomed himself for allowing this travesty of an offence to continue for so long. O'Shea will doubtless continue to voice optimism that the team can turn the season around right down to the last game, but he has to to know that he is a deadman walking and the players must also see the last shreds of playoff hope pretty much gone. The way the team played in the first half confirms their beliefs about where the team is going. As a side note, according to Lawless, the University of Guelph is going to be trying their damnedest to hire Walters away from the Bombers for their football program, so we probably looking at a wholesale change in the Bomber offices. Tom Higgins, anyone?

If the Lions' defence is not the big issue, maybe that will reduce their need to go after Muamba.

Adams had better get on his horse and start performing. He looked great in that one game but has done nothing since. Looks to have the talent but not the drive but he is not going to be much longer if he doesn't smarten up.

Its sort of like having bad breath and sucking.

So this is Moore's week to play this month?

Is there anyone on the Lions' roster who is having a good year?

And for reasons known only to the coaches, Chevon Walker is still here.

I've got a bad feeling about this....

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise. Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete. With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials. If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed. Define meaningful. Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful. I think your broken assumption is that you need a great degree to get a great job. My highest-earning friend has nothing more than a high school education (makes about $135k/year). And you are making an assumption based on one anomalous outcome. If you took say, 1000 university grads and compared their median income to the average high school grad's income, then you would have a meaningful comparison.

There was great rejoicing in this forum when Moore was signed, and it looked like a solid upgrade. No batter in baseball hits 1000, no pro golfer hits eagles every hole, and no GM's choices pan out every time. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances, so kwitcherbitchin.

Some people just cannot adjust to life after being a very minor sports celebrity.

Boyd comes across as amiable, realistic and easy going. There are no guarantees, but I'm pulling for him.

We (and every other team) is being jerked around while Henoc lusts after more NFL paydays. I am beginning to lose respect for him and although I would like to see him back here, enough is enough. Poop or get off the pot.

Boyd has had his chance at grabbing the brass ring in the NFL. The only way he gets another shot is for him to shine up here and some team in the NFL with a selective memory to be desperate enough to wait out his contract. He ought to appreciate not having to be afraid of being arrested for "walking/driving while black" in Canada.

(yawn)

Sounds like the Miller era in Regina when Marshall took over.

And the transfusion continues....

The quick flick toss that Boyd has could be a lifesaver for him considering the porosity of our O-line at present. Still, Boyd has to make his bones like everyone else, but he seems to be smart enough to make the transition.

Leggett can do a lot of things. He's able to show that being closer to the LOS. I liked their 30 fronts with all the backers on the field. Hurl has been playing very well and now taking on more of a role on 2nd downs in recent weeks. Couldn't agree more... I fell like the defence adds another dimension when Simmons is out there too.... Imagine having Bass, Simmons, Muamba and Leggett on the field at once... I would pee my pants before every game and I'm not that old. Are you sure this has to do with the game?

6'2" and 222lb is short and stocky???

If he is a Christian, I would be worried.Why? You've never heard the claims about Christians being thrown to the lions in ancient Roman times (it never actually happened but lots of people think it did). And Henoc is a devout Christian. Christians were, in fact fed to the lions at the colloseum in Rome, along with other captives from foreign lands, criminals and rebels. Animals were also pitted against each other as well, and gladiators fought each other, too. But the "Christians" got their revenge. When Constantine converted to Christianity (sort of), and made it the official religion of the Roman empire, the newly minted Christians cheerfully began to toss pagans into the arena. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Muamba is playing both ends against the middle.
