Yea rushing 3 and dropping 9..you can do that when your up like Sask was but let's see how that d works when the game is on the line and we can run more...here is hoping we can run the ball up Jones' s a$$.

I expect the Bombers to return the favour to the Riders and kick their ass all over the field actually. No mercy.

Yes they are now motivated to do better with those multi year contracts in their back pockets. Good on them continue the good work.

A one year contract no lame duck in that, last time I looked. Produce or else. Wow million dollar contracts and now have to be multi year or it's a terrible contract? Normal working folk should be so hard done by.?

Success? One playoff no wins? The bar is really low in the Peg. What would of been the harm of a 1 year contract? You know to say to the players there is no excuses left? Oh noes we can't have a lame duck coach...he would have to produce results!

Yea unreal that we would sign a coach to an extension when even the captain has come out an stated that this is the year..no more excuses. But if you have better theory why we extended a coach that missed the playoffs ....again?

Well actually from management perspective it does make sense. It allows Chevy some wiggle room to pass the buck again and fire his coach instead of the focus falling on him. One more coach to go though Chevy before that genius tag starts to look suspect.

All I know is when Hall has a decent front seven with a MLB who can cover from sideline to sideline seems like his defense is a he'll of a lot better...hmmm wonder y.??

Good idea!?

Hard to argue with the FACTS though some here will definitely try...?

Yep another year of poor special teams and excuses why we missed the playoffs...?

No , could of stayed at 1 year extensions each to make a statement to the fans that not making the playoffs again is unacceptable. At the very least leave Maurice at one year but meh it's Chipmans team not ours.

Yep terrible move..lets reward a regime that's produced one playoff in 7 years...oh well guess Chipman can afford a Maurice buyout and Chevys here till the team makes it one playoff in 14 before the genius tag wears off...

No, never can have too many top Canadians so if it's cap reasons you move some one else. Hurl would be a good start...or Oka.

If they fire Thorpe I hope we are on the phone to bring him in as a consultant....and then next year who knows...

IDK is it Hall or MOS that insists on dressing Hurl at MLB? Or pulling out poop for OK or Santos? I am going to wait and see what we change for our next game to find out how they address these areas....

Can see Gray kicking around like Mulumba though....hope not. I was more talking about players like Bighill proven CFL stars sitting on NFL practice rosters...the NFL is not doing the CFL any favours and if they help shut us down where we will these type of players develop?

The good news is to have this kind of game now and change out the weak parts...next game will really tell us what our team is made of.

I don't know how we take any of this news as positive...we have great players that could be playing in the CFL sitting on practice rosters...its sad so many good players not playing but it's all about the money. The NFL is definitely hurting the CFL with these moves. It's becoming clear the myopic NFL can't or doesn't give a damn about the CFL anymore. Unfortunately a lot of young Canadians probably don't care ethier and would rather see these guys on a NFL team.

Actually he does because Thorpe is already a better receiver than Lankford...that was his point. As a returner we have Fogg and Flanders.

Great game my only complaint 2 min to go and we are still playing Nichols? I know he was just handing off the ball and the fever played too...but hell the Cats had nothing to lose and I hate to see Nichols get hurt for what? We have capable backups use them!

Well it ain't working whatever they are doing...? if it isn't personnel then it's scheme.

We need to get our Lbs straightened out and some Dbs back to take the next step....would love to see Flanders in as well...mix of him and Harris would make our run game scary good.?

Well I wouldn't be quick to write off an Austin coached team yet.. still very early and I have seen him turn a team around in a hurry.

Yea well ya gotta prove it over more than a year to get a 7 year contract ...and yea never heard of him don't see his name mentioned anywhere as one of the top shutdown defensemen in the league...and 30 points? Gotta have a little more offensive upside than that to be an elite all around defenseman...good reason y Francis is a GM in Carolina cause who there cares. Means Trouba gonna be looking for 6+ and I can't blame him when Gms are tossing money around.
