    BigBlue got a reaction from Sard in Advising Management   
    Ever felt like you were in a Monty Python movie and you were waving your arms madly at the passersby to get their attention .... only you had no arms: that is sometimes how it feels to be a Bomber fan - 'C'mon make that trade.... sign that free agent ... don't stand there, do something!'
    Play Poop Johnson, prefer Thorpe to Lankford, bring in a better LB/Db .... do something about Hurl and especially Ritchie Hall
    It can be a helpless feeling to be just standing here frantically not waving our arms .... but whats a fan to do with this type of management who is enjoying the status quo as Miller & Walters & Mos sit there sipping their tea
    Wave harder

    Chris Jones, at least for the moment, is no longer the object of ridicule .... there is evidence his rebuilding program is working and they have the makings of a contender ... he is still using bailing wire, binder twine and duct tape to keep the team together but they have momentum and spirit ... If as and when Jones buys himself a real QB all that money they are paying him could be said to be worthwhile .... meanwhile we will be having something opposite a picnic  on Labour Day

    Given we have not won the Grey Cup since 1990, going to Regina for the Labor Day Classic  has become the most important game of the Bomber season. The Banjo bowl supplements it but there can be no sweeter victory than beating the Roughies on their home turf in front of their "Laboring" crowd. For me it is everything, regardless of whatever else we do in a season.
    I think Regina is a better club than the Alouettes so I am expecting a huge battle. I thought Lapo turtled with the offense after halftime. Downfield passing all but disappeared. So we won on turnovers 2016 style. But this is no way to beat the Rougies, Regina will turn the table on us if we try that ultra conservative play calling again. At least we won't have to deal with Montreal's blitz crazy defense. Kevin Glenn will have something to prove.

    I would not have been wanting to be drinking directly underneath the canon when it went off multiple times Thursday night. I probably would've swallowed my cup. Whatever malfunctions there were at the beginning of the season there is no longer a problem with that canon.
    The fellows running the scoreboard seem to have made some big improvements. At the beginning of the season they were constantly taking crowd shots of interesting fans, usually at the expense of seeing a replay. There was hardly any of that Thursday night. We had replays galore and in my opinion that was 10 times better than crowd shots. If you want to shoot human expression, please concentrate on the players and not the fans. That's what's interesting, the individual player expressions, not the fans' faces. The scoreboard crew must've gotten some feedback and responded to it. So well done.
    I very much enjoyed the band that played during halftime .... it was so much better than the variety of dog and pony shows we've seen so often over the last half-century. That band put me in "the mood" and nothing could have been better. Quite frankly I would like to see a lot of local bands engaged at the stadium. Perhaps they could play a mini concert for 45 minutes to an hour prior to kickoff. As far as I'm concerned they could even do it during the player warm-ups. Maybe that would put everybody, players included,  in the mood for some great and exciting football.
    Let me complement Miller & Co. where the ongoing improvements he has been overseeing to make the game day experience that much better is coming to pay off.
    This is the best entertainment we've had in a long, long time, and Yup, it has an awful lot to do with winning in a decisive way. Yup, Yup, Yup.

    We need to study some 1960's film:
    Kenny Ploen  laterals left (an apparent sweep) to Leo Lewis who then throws it the opposite direction, right, to a wide open abandoned Kenny Ploen .... and how many times did we see the same type of play in its many  variations such as Ploen to Lewis to Ploen to Lewis
    Time to get Kenny out of his rocker and down to a closed practice

    I understand biasing the game to favor offense ... that is good for the fans ... but not calling offensive pass interference as policy is more than just breaking the rules - - its egregious to the game
