Manziels flutter balls finding receivers at times reminds me of pick up football we use to play in the school yard. Ugly Ugly Ugly. Dressler looked like he was playing hurt and in protection mode.

The best they get is Jets Alumni.

There in it's simplicity, yet sophistication, is exactly what needs to happen.

We need to pound them into the ground, no mercy but If we shite the bed, I better not hear 'we had the gameplan we wanted, we just didn't execute'. All the mulligans are used up.

I feel Lowry may have a breakout season this year. Imo he has shown tremendous development. I was not a big fan at thestart but have warmed to him considerably in terms of what he brings to this team.

One of my wishes for this season is by game 20 we see a headline on TSN "What's wrong with the Leafs?" This constant Tavares Marner Matthews talk is nauseating.

I'm beginning to hate the word 'progression'.

Would Morrissey and agent sit if they don't get what they want? It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Hope so because I took him in my amateur draft, him and Niku. Am I the only one who plays hockey pools and takes too many Jets because of my love for them.

You're right Nichols missing open targets is not Lapo's fault but with Dressler out and Harris spent that limits Lapos chosen scheme and it may be that he is not adjusting his scheme well enough for Dresslers replacement and tailback options other than Harris.

But I've also read here overtime how aghast some are here if MOS would consider calling out a player/coach to be better outside of the dressing room. So do people want him to be more hard assed for all to see or just internally that most of us don't know how that goes?

What's the chances of Vesalainen cracking the lineup for this year I wonder.

Based on some of the speculation by a few posters here about Lapos primary focus on Nichols, will he have a customized package for Streveler in place ready to go for our next game?

That could also be because there are a lot more teams in the NFL.

Figures ex Jet :)

Hope so because it would be a double win for me, i.e., Helps my team and provides me with more ammunition to trash talk my Oiler friends and colleagues.

I've seen him play here with the Oilers. Meh is my 'not a professional' observation. But NHL proven Goalies do take more time to develop so there's that advantage for us, i.e., hopefully Oilers pay dearly for giving up on him.

As well, there's always the option of learning the language if your best candidates don't know the language. I think its been done before.

True, its never an option.

The irony.

I'd agree with you outside of Loffler who is quickly becoming a one dimensional goon and forgetting about the fundamentals of good football. The last play of the first half he tried to decapitate Moore I believe. I like Loffler, I love hard physical aggressive football but Loffler needs to be better and I bet he knows it. We need our safety to make plays on the ball now and then, not consistently coming late to the game looking for a kill shot that usually does nothing other than the receiver signalling first down.

And how the Bombers were playing. Hmm rum hut sounds good.

And the two pick six's hurt even more as we we're threatening to score on both. Mentally hard to recover from it happening twice.

I'd agree. I think him and Milt have a genuine hate on for each other which makes it awesome to watch.

Man what it would be to have this community together having these discussions over some beer (wine in my case). Misery would love some company. I wonder if certain personalities here would be the same in person as they demonstrate online.
