I'm not sure exactly what you are meaning by scapegoat? Football is definitely a team game (i.e., win as a team, lose as a team) but sometimes focus on an individual player is warranted win, lose or draw. Yes sometimes people can get an unhealthy uninformed hate on for a specific player (s) that can be unwarranted but other times it may be valid feedback/observation that is misconstrued as being a hater. In some cases it's probably not as black and white to understand which scenario is happening when it comes to being critical of a specific player.

His golf back spin punt near the centre of the field was not exactly good timing.

And please show me the Nissan Qashqai commercial again.

Control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, limited penalties , Harris has a monster game, Jefferson runs roughshod = win with a great tone set to start the season.

I like your idea but needs to be harsher. A players second infraction involves a hefty fine and 3 game suspension. If we are serious about getting blatant head shots out of the game I'm even thinking that the team itself needs to be punished if they have a repeat offender on their team.

He's the perfect candidate to retire as a CFL QB representing the league. Get a jersey made of all the teams.

So it wasn't mutually agreed. Shocking as in sarcasm.

Als1977 had a good response. No one is over the hill. You will get old too. Show some respect.

It's more than unjustified its ageist.

Unless he is of superstar status I find these types of contracts really weird and of little sense. See Lucic as a good recent example.It most always ends up by year two, three or four with 'what do we do with him now?' It seems the mentality is I have to sign him longterm to get the shorter term value out of him because some other team will ****** him up if I don't.

What if Sherman didnt agree? Weirdly put statement.

Obviously the big question mark is Collaros health and psyche. When he takes his first big hit of the season will tell the story quite quickly.

Don't see it, I think the game has passed him by but hey who knows, maybe another team takes a gamble on him. But I do know the Oilers are not in a position of strength to get good value in return for him. I think Holland knows he takes a hit on this one.

I think the bigger problem for Lucic is no one wants him.

Not sure it's worthy of its own thread so I'm posting it here. I'm really curious to know what others think the Executive/Management team/Coaching staff /Scouting department have to accomplish with this team this year to keep their jobs? Grey Cup or bust? Or something different per area and/or does it differ by what title you hold? I'm not sure what to think other than overall playoffs for sure and get to the show. Need to finish close to top in O and D categories. Is that a reasonable expectation from a lifelong Bomber fan who is a bit thirsty?

Brutal.

Bring back Dallas Eakins? :-)

Looking forward to seeing Willie Jefferson in Blue and Gold with lucky right behind.

17 years playing qb at the pro level. wow. Hats off.

I agree, great signing, especially for Nichols with his style of play and skill set.

And we're off for season 2019! 🙂

Pending McDavid approval.

And can Edmonton afford that?

Once the Jets are out, the playoffs are dead to me. Go Blue.

Balance has been restored. The Leafs are out yet again. All hail the hockey Gods. Got the below JD B tweet from an Oiler fan friend and thought it was shade funny: How long before Matthews asks for a trade? Leafs can’t win a playoff series, haven’t won a cup for 50+ years. Time to blow up the team and rebuild. Am I doing this right Leafs fans? This is the exact **** ya’ll say about McDavid. Sounds ridiculous now doesn’t it?
