We will bring in 2018 with a simple, quiet scotch - with the hope that it will toast numerous Bomber victories this coming year. 

happy new year

I would like it moved up a month. I think it would encourage increased attendance.

I think it's a no brainer to move up the season.      The increase of attendance from fair-weather fans alone is a good enough reason to move it up.       For every 1 person who loves to watch a game in the snow...  I am sure their are a dozen people who don't even consider going because they don't want to freeze in the stands.  

There was a long thread on the other site about this. General consensus was that the draft is the biggest downside, but that GM's already know how much NFL interest that most players have. The biggest upsides would be the new money from  the NFL network, an increased US audience and less cold weather games.
Personally, I'd be happy to move the season forward a month if it does nothing but get more money for the CFL. Less months without football would be great for me. I don't watch hockey much, so I'd choose CFL over NHL playoffs (That season is too long IMO), but I understand that TSN may not like it.  I think it's better to compete with the NHL for eyes early in the season than it is to compete with the NFL late in the season.

I honestly don’t see a down side in moving the schedule. Cold games keeps fans away, and the conflict with baseball early in the season can’t be worse than conflict with hockey late in the season.
The notion that November football is a ‘distraction’ from the cold weather prior to the holiday season is poetic, I guess, but it’s never crossed my mind.

I would still want to know if it's Hall or MOS making the call on starting Hurl. Was it not in Halls defense in Sask where Hurl did start but then was demoted to backup over poor play? Why would a defensive coordinator risk his job over a player underperforming in a critical position? Why would MOS come out and defend Hurl stating his job is not like a typical MLB?

Yep is that not slashing or goalie interference? They say they are trying to protect the goalies then they let this slide?...brutal reffing tonite.

This is a fail. 
While other teams have tested, or are now testing their #2s, we are floating the prospect that Davis can’t get it done. Must make Davis feel pretty good. This can only mean that Davis will not be back next year. What other reason could there be?
We know what LeFeve can do, and still we will trot him out there...
I’d really rather see P Nelson if they’re not going to get serious about the QB futures...

Well the Fever put on one of the worst back up performances since Boltus and almost singlehandedly killed our RB and Dressler with ducks...besides that we should start him....?

I don’t think it’s ridiculous either. 
We should start Davis.
All year, and last, we were waiting for the opportunity to play Davis...to see what he can provide. There is no better chance than now. Is he worth keeping? Why would we keep Davis as a backup when we don’t trust him to play?
We need that information. Our history of not finding that backup QB, who can step in, is checkered at best. But now is not the time to play checkers. Think ahead. Plan accordingly. 
Davis has been around long enough. Play him.

Its hard to see Walters or MOS getting fired coming off back to back 11 win seasons, the first time in 14 years that we've had back to back winning seasons.

Lefevour had me pining for the good old days of Jason Boltus.   He was insanely craptastic.

Yeah.. But its tough to win for any team when u lose your qb.. Starting rb... Best d player best receiver and best OL. Tough. Stayed healthy all year.. Catching up now. These arent depth guys.. These are our all stars. 

After his short yardage play  earlier in the game where he got the first down, it looked like LaFevour got into a scuffle with JFG on the sidelines.  He slapped JFG in the face pretty hard. Did anyone else notice that?
Lefevour sucks. It was like he was trying to get Harris killed.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.. I knew Lefevour had a weaker arm but that display brought back memories of Dinwiddie..
