GB's?  You mean garbage backs? 

After the interview that went forever last week was it really necessary to do another Never-ending one with Buono this game. Geez.

In my opinion, his facemaking penalty was worthy of an ejection.

Calgary is the team that you want to model yourselves after.. Canadian Depth, heck man, they had the best record in the league last year but had the first overall pick, Huff ain't playing around, why did he get that first round pick, outside of Desjardins stupidity, it's cuz Calgary has the depth at basically every position to make moves like that. Trade Gott? No problem, we will take Lavertu and still play Jones. Calgary is an example of what patience leads too. Depth Depth Depth, guys get hurt, guys come in, those guys get hurt, other guys come in. It took Huff years to get there, Calgary was in a bad place a few short years ago, Huff came in and changed things up and what you see now is what you get and what you get is probably the best team in the league all around, qb depth, rb depth, defensive depth, OL depth.. They are stacked. It took time but... look at them now. It wasn't too long ago that that oline lost tsoumpas to retirement. No tsoumpas? no problem. 

Calgary is just a really well coached team. They have the ability to perform no matter who goes into the game. They won a pile of games without Cornish already this year, no reason to think they can't beat Montreal without him. 

Ploen is Mr. QB in Winnipeg.  No chance he didn't make it as the best as picked by the fans and the media.  Winning Grey Cups is a team stat, not a QB stat IMHO, but I know a lot of folks disagree.
 
Brock was the best pure passer the Bombers ever had and it's not even close.  Great QB who couldn't win the big game.
 
My choice was Clements.  He took the team that Brock couldn't win the big game with and won the the cup with them.  Not the strongest arm or the quickest feet, but he was a winner.
 
Dunnigan had some amazing games in Blue and Gold.  Unfortunately we got him after the injuries had taken their toll and he was often injured and couldn't finish games.  I'd rank him over Brock for his entire CFL career but lower as a Bomber. 
 
Jones turned our team around.  Great leader.  Prolific passer.  Good runner.  Succeeded in spite of a poor O line.  Certainly in the conversation as one of the great QB's in Bomber history.

Tom Clements should be the picked over Ploen imo.  He won multiple Grey Cups albeit only one with the Bombers, 2 -time CFL all-star with the Bombers, league MVP with the Bombers, 1984 Grey Cup MVP - all in 4.5 years with the Bombers, and less than that if you factor in half a missed season back in '86.  
 
Compared to the peers of his era in the 80s, Clements is looked upon more favorably than Ploen, when he is compared to his peers in the 50s and 60s.  That should play a factor in deciding who was the better QB for the Bombers - how the player compared to their peers.  Clements wins this hands down.
 
Also, Ploen's accomplishments on the defensive side of the ball should be a non-starter.  It's best QUARTERBACK in Bomber history, not BEST PLAYER.

With some, maybe because of their parents i.e., Gretzky, Messier, Coffey, Fuhr et al era

Why on earth would they black out Jet games in Alberta? That would be like blacking out the Bomber games in Alberta.
I do know the answer though that I don't like. It's because it's not our 'home' team.
They want us to follow the Flames and the Oilers. I told them my 'home' team is actually the Jets, I just happen to live in Alberta.

Does David Braley have to give his blessings for trades to happen? If the organizations are run correctly, my guess is no, therefore no conflict.
Not to mention the fact we're a nine team league. BC and Toronto have to have the option of dealing with one another.

There's people on here obsessed with the Riders?  You realize you're a rider fan with over 500 posts on a Bomber board, right?

I'd add the mistake of receivers NOT fighting to get open will continue to spell disaster.

I feel like we're back in the Kevin Glenn era when our biggest concern was finding a decent backup QB. Mike Quinn, Tee Martin, Ryan Dinwiddie... boy we sure started some quality backups in those days. 

Bend don't break defense approaches only work with an offense that can score 30 points+. It's caught up to us the last five games.

Soooo every starting QB in the west could be out for a period.......

I got nothing from Grisby. However after the Banjo Bowl, I ran into Dom Picard and he grabbed me and held onto my arm for a long time.

They may as well call it Guaranteed 200-Yard-Rushing night.  More free tickets for BC fans?

Chances are Sask's front four will have to hold their blocks even longer now that Durant is out.
This you'd think will make it very difficult to overlook blatant holds. You'd think. My guess is their next game will be filled with penalities or, business as usual.

As a fan of the whole league, I hate this news.
There's so few good CFL QBs out there and the quality of football played by the have-not teams has been so low, this just sucks.

I don't think most people are saying we lost because of our Run D.  I think they're saying it had a factor in our losing.  Chewing up the clock means our offense was not on the field possibly scoring a TD.  There are obviously multiple factors in why we lost, most specifically our ST.  But, them burning up the clock with the run was a contributing factor.

Kuale made 1 tackle last game....his mouth made way more.

Depends on the situation.

Early nominee for most unexpected headline of the year?
 
Hope he gets his life sorted out.

Hope he finds help
