Grigsby has been proving himself .... Cotton hasn't turned any heads at least not yet

After watching the new uniforms on TV tonight, I must say I hate them even more than our all gold uniforms (or for that matter the all whites) I can't decide whether they remind me more of floral curtains or my wife's print skirt .... Bob Irving describes the helmets as bowling balls This latest gimmick is pure stupidity and betrays the game, the league and team Football has great traditions and class .... reflected in classical colours and simplicity These uniforms are a travesty and anathema to our great game Shoot the delivery boy and the ones who sent him

I think we have the personnel on offence, our offensive line is adequate, Drew Willey is up to the job, so why was our offence so anemic against Montreal tonight? Yes, Montreal has a decent defense but so does the Riders, the Stamps, the Eskimos and the Lions,,,, I can only conclude we are not strategizing very well ... Our running game is a little better but its not blowing anybody away ... and I doubt it will this year My greater concern is that our passing game is way below its potential and capability In my opinion, the problem is schemes, set-ups and play calling MOS has got the team hanging in there but the biggest under achiever on the club is MB ,,, not sour grapes after a victory but a concern as we get ready ro take on our division rivals ,,,, we can't avoid change because we have a winning record Just 13 first downs (10 in the 4th Q) tonight and less than 300 yards of offence We are winning as a team but not as an offence We have to get past Drew Willey and 4th Q heroics ,,, we need a regular 400 yards of O produced through all 4 Qs Wake uo MB or we will go 3 & 6 in the second half of this so far great season

"If they can complete a few deep balls" ... my observation is that Brink is an inaccurate deep ball thrower ... just hucks it down there and hopes for the best Tonight will show whether we have a real ball club or not with both heart and skill (in spite of all our inadequacies)

Don't forget to join us in the chat room tonight Will I be able to get in and stay in? btw ... why am I not being allowed to use the "full editor" when I press that button?

"he utilized his strengths. Too bad Bellefeuille doesn't do the same" ... to me this is the big deal ... run where you can do the most good ... don't have a philosophy that says you must balance the offense by running up the gut ... hit 'em where they ain't! btw I believe we need to use the pass to set up the run ... not the other way round

It's the root system. Weeds have roots that are thicker and more importantly grow deeper. People who water their lawns frequently create poor root systems for their grass. Less frequent waterings encourages the roots to grow deeper in search of moisture, and in times of low precipitation these lawns will be more durable than lawns that are overwatered. Over time a healthy lawn should overtake the weeds. So they say. In theory... Hell, in theory communism works lol Communism definitely works- check out any Hutterite colony. What you see in Russia and China is not and never was Communism, it was Marxism and even so wasn't what Marx had envisioned. My mother-in-law came off a Hutterite colony (wrote a book about it) .... the "boss" and the minister are tyrants, power abusers and very controlling .... if born on a colony ... it is very difficult to leave its sheltered way of life ... few make it when they try

Logan 007 said "MB's offensive scheme sucks. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. His play calling is atrocious. Especially when it comes to the run game." I feel very much the same .... and about his predictability/imagination ... I can just say wow!

yup. Still would like to see us get to four National starters on the O line. Opens up so many other options. "four National starters on the O line" When Goosen is ready to go we can move Neufeld back to his natural position at tackle ... maybe when he has learned a bit more

Buono puts a lot of pressure on his free agent up-comers to sign an extension ... if they won't he threatens to bench them .. used this kind of pressure on Harris last year

Milt Steagall TSN says he would like to see more consistency out of scatback Denmark ... he needs to put together a whole season instead of being so streaky .... see Watson as so talented they need to design special plays for him .... concern is restraining the hamstring

is the game sold out?

I think MOS has the club's ego in check and a higher level of team harmony ....plus home field = our edge .... the way the ball bounces and how each team handles adversity will be the difference maker ... I rate talent to be roughly equal

If Popp had the answers (and his hands aren't tied) her would be using them ... who would you trade for in terms of a promising #2 QB ... he would give up a highly rated 1st rounder draft pick for a differejce maker QB and throw in other stuff ... Owner W has always had $$$$ for recruiting Yanks ... this is about disharmony and crisisisisisisis of confidence .... we all have them once in a while but they are scary

Power is in the mind & that's where MOS has us

Just a walk through tomorrow ... what lineup changes are we expecting for the game Thursday

" And why bring in all these quarterbacks? because..." is this the real reason for the QB parade?

What's with this parade of QB's ... what is management thinking .... I would rather see a parade of something else

What is this statement based on?

I saw a certain amount of wisdom in DI-ing Cotton last week ....let him prove /redeem himself after fumble-it is .... in that way he can build his confidence & momentum

What position does he play ... where did we draft him.... signed Clueless

I am looking back to my June 24 post ... accurate enough forecast to please myself except for Edmonton where I was completely wrong ... quality of Management says it all

yes Hall was coming along

Where is Adrian McPherson ?
