  1. 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
  2. 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!
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. is the game sold out?
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. Power is in the mind & that's where MOS has us
  10. Just a walk through tomorrow ... what lineup changes are we expecting for the game Thursday
  11. " And why bring in all these quarterbacks? because..." is this the real reason for the QB parade?
  12. What's with this parade of QB's ... what is management thinking .... I would rather see a parade of something else
  13. What is this statement based on?
  14. 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
  15. What position does he play ... where did we draft him.... signed Clueless
  16. 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
  17. yes Hall was coming along
  18. Where is Adrian McPherson ?
  19. I don't take delight either but fans in other cities were sure laughing at us. Like Hamilton. Then the comments that their stadium is nicer than ours?? As it turned out, we didn't have a tenth of the issues Hamilton has had getting the thing built. We just had to wait another year & played at our old barn. While disappointing, it was a good fall back plan. Too bad Garth Buchko had us play the first 4 games of the year on the road & just didn't move everything back into Canad Inns from the start of the season. Going 0-4 on the road killed our season. I think Buchko was the only person who couldn't tell the stadium was a year behind schedule & would never be ready that season. C'mon Iso, not everything is Buchko's fault. Buchko hadn't even started his job with the Bombers when the schedule came out. The request to start on the road would have been made long before he was hired. There is plenty of blame to dump on him without adding stuff that had nothing to do with him. The above statement is the closest thing to "naïve-ity" I have seen in a while ... some blind faith/loyalty from somewhere
  20. That holding call on Harris 75 TD run was bogus ... discretionary at best ... I hate when the zebras control outcomes instead of just being even handed
  21. I call him "Angry Austin Bird"
  22. How about a Jan-Greaves-Morley-Goossen-Neufeld line?
  23. So Neufeld was injured last night ... how did Goosen do?
  24. I'd agree with this. The system they put in place allowing a crossover team in the first place, addressed the biggest issue we had in the CFL…where the teams with poor records in one division, made the playoffs over team with better records. It works better now in a league with 2 divisions, and the only way to improve that is to have one division…and I'm not sure that's going to happen any time soon. When there is a crossover, just let the team with the best record host the 1st playoff game (while the division leaders takes their bye) ... fixes a lot of stuff with one tiny change doesn't it?
  25. I saw Goosen in there but I don't know when he went in or why ... missed TSN comment on that if there was one ... tell me more please
