Gawd damn facts get in the way of everything.

I could use this statement everyday to respond to what is regularly shared here:
The dumbing down of America right before our eyes seen in real time.

it's so funny... when I moved down to Winkler many years ago, I was surprised to learn how many different Mennonite churches there were within the town. I asked a relatively enlightened co-worker, who was a member of one of the churches, what that was all about and he said "different interpretations of the same text (bible)"..... it's really just so crazy to me that this is a thing. Peace, love and respect for all living things...... what more do you need to interpret than that? 

I'm straying a little off topic so I'll say this once and then let it go, yes religion can be blamed for some wars but the desire for power and wealth have been a far greater cause of war then religion.
Such as orphanages, hospitals, public education, numerous charities and several  scientific discoveries?

Yes, religious wars are and have been a huge issue.
No, not everything about our current society is bad - there is a lot of good.

Well said Tracker. Christianity like most religions has very good guidelines for life at the heart of it. But  I have always said that you can pretty much prove anything you want by using the Bible if you want to believe it word for word. Reading about the history of the current Bible and the history of the Christian church would really benefit alot of people.  What I find helps is to look at the real core, of the stories of some of the greatest religious figures, Christ, Buddha,  Lao Tzu.......how they acted,how they spoke, what they did...and you will find goodness and perhaps a belief system that benefits both yourself and those around you.
Edit: Good on you for starting this thread Mark H. I had thought of it a couple of times but wasn't brave enough  lol.

Why can't it be both?

Depends what happens next week........

One of them was such a cheap dangerous late hit on him. Bigger picture the 15 yard infraction for it benefited BC more than it did us. 

Nailed it on all points. 
 
even more so if Brady isn’t 100%. Take a bit of the load off his shoulders. But some two back sets and a sub package to get some big gains on the ground would be huge. 
Idk. And idk if they should. That kind of loss doesn’t just go away. Its stink has to be washed off in success. I think a lot of guys will have wounded egos hurt pride and a disappointment in not protecting home field not to mention that poor effort. 
 
It’s really hard to sustain 40+. Points a game on offence. Usually a big out put is followed by a dip game. But usually a dip is followed by another surge especially from a good offence. 
I think we will see the statement game of statement games from this bomber squad vs Montreal. 

For sure. All game long they played on that edge just grinding the bombers into the turf

3 games into the season and Schoen has already taken a ton of punishing hits, I wonder if word has gotten around among league DC's that the best way to stop him, is to break him.  

Like the DB on the attempted interception trying to keep two feet in instead of one as an example of new to the CFL?

u know inside the walls of the stadium the team has already moved on

Can we talk with you for a sec? Maybe out back?

2 of whom shouldn't even be on active roster
 
yup...ass handed to ourselves....good lesson and reality check...history shows this team will bounce back...and with a vengeance so I expect that next week

You're bang on. And hard as it is to admit, it is good for the CFL. You're totally right about the roster issue. Some glaring gaps. Thomas, Schmekel and Walker are not a starting rotational three at DT for a championship level team. I know Osh loves Thomas, but that is an age thing. He shouldn't be playing this much. BC started 9 DL, we started 6, 3 of whom should not be starting. I trust in Walters to upgrade the talent level. It's too bad in season trades don't really happen in the CFL. Maybe trade a receiver (Bailey, Agudosi) for a starting caliber DT? 

well if anything...Us losing was a gift to the league...hopefully will keep some bums in seats in BC without the need for a concert pre-game
TSN gets its dream wish and can be all giddy about something and run with their story/narrative...
Hopefully Osh and crew seen the underlying issue with depth and roster and actually fix it....and good this happened now as opposed to second half of season where at that point you are stuck with who you took to the dance
A loss happens....and every year since 2019 we had a performance like this....where we all throw out the same complaints and world is falling stuff....Next week will show what this team is made of
That being said....some issues several of us have brought up with roster management, or lack there of and PR players, and lack of certain types of players, was again brought to the fore front and exposed....this isnt an old aging team issue...as 2 games into a season isn't gonna gas a pro athlete...this is a roster issue and improper allocation of talent, and blind stupidity....yeah I gonna say it in letting certain types of positional talent go in TC and keeping a whack of guys who will never see the field...
I'm sure when dust settles...we will be right where we need to be come playoffs....just sucks to watch us sucking so bad when it is avoidable

Wake up call? Teams aren’t going to lie down for us? Bounce back game next game? Cliches help I guess. 

A few things for me on the offense...
There's a 0% chance the Bombers are running any called run plays for Collaros.  So why would we ever go empty backfield?  Why would we ever go empty backfield with no jet or orbit motion through the backfield or coming behind Collaros?  Now all 12 players on the defense KNOW 100% we are passing from the pocket if we are empty with no motion.  HUGE advantage for the pass rush we're just handing over.   Especially when you're 15-30 minutes in to this game and you realize that the BC DL is killing our tackles with speed rush.
Oliviera was gashing them over and over, and then we go empty a bunch.  Don't like it.  That's a schematic flaw, poor execution by a playcaller.  Shouldn't even have empty plays on the call sheet.  Now plays where Oliviera motions out to lead block or seal edge for a jet sweep...nice play.
Where was Augustine?  He needs a role in the offense.  He's not an every down player, but he's useful.  If they don't think he is, get an American back on and with the new rules we can slip him in almost half the time without subbing out an American.  Agudosi can sit.  He has exactly one route he can get open on and his hands are suspect.  Nice luxury piece, but not bringing anything we're missing and BOLO/Murphy will be fine as our 5th option.  We need the help in the backfield.  If not RB, we need another American DB, DE, LB on the roster.
Where's the option run package?  Hallmark of the success of this offense.  Streveler, even Prukop, the change of pace set, the stuff where you just get the OL and everyone rolling people over, the stuff the D can't really prep for.  Pigrome can be a weapon.
 
I think our D is extremely out of sync, very young, very new to each other and in many cases Canadian football.  Lots of work for the coaches there.  No depth and that makes it way harder because we have at least a couple guys who are likely not CFL level players out there and maybe more as we get more of a look.  Bennett shouldn't be out there, both corners were terrible.  Fox and Schmekel aren't getting many reps so we're running the starting DL into the ground which doesn't really fit what has made this overall scheme successful back to when Hall arrived here.

Can we talk with you for a sec? Maybe out back?

Dunnigan's awesome, sometimes I don't know whether he's had a few pops or some edibles or that's just him or a combo of all. 🙂
I love how he critiques players no matter the jersey and who they are.
I miss Dave Randorf, I liked what you brought to the mix.
