  1. What I don't want to see is Sask. upstage the Bombers in the off-season by signing a more accomplished coach or coordinators. If the Bombers doddle again this year with meetings and season reviews, they deserve the leftovers.
  2. I don't know what kind of chemistry Marcel and Willy have had. Willy wanted his OC on the sidelines and Marcel appeared reluctant - but agreed. Then as soon as Willy gets injured again (which is fairly often BTW) and the next QB installed, Marcel scoots back upstairs. Willy has a qb coach to talk to on the sidelines. MB doesn't have time to talk to Willy during a game much as he's too busy. I think Marcel is challenged to figure out what the other team is doing at the best of times. Sitting up in the box gives him an entire half to figure out what to do about it.
  3. That's an excuse I haven't heard before.
  4. I'm hoping TSN comes up with a butt crack blocker of some kind, either that or dress Nik in a full body leotard to avoid the spectacle. Bad for ratings and children.
  5. Edmonton has looked pretty bad in the 2nd half of the season. It's not even cliche this season to say that all you gotta do is get in the playoffs to have a shot at the Grey Cup. The Bombers are literally one play from winning over Edmonton and Calgary in half the games they've played them this season. BC pushed Edm. to OT last night so anything is possible. Reilly threw 3 interceptions and if he can be forced into his scrambling mode he makes some truly idiotic throws.
  6. Surprised to see Cordaro Howard playing for the Cats. He's one of many ex-Bomber O-liners that I've already forgotten about in the last two years.
  7. Ted Laurent is an earthquake unto himself. 4 players surrounding him and he still makes the play on the ball carrier.
  8. Too bad Ford was knocked out of the game, very similar in style and size to Cameron Marshall.
  9. Why not, Bombers are as lousy as any of these other losers.
  10. TSN and their power team of Black and Suitor, can't get worse.
  11. Glenn receiving a beating should reduce him to ineffective mode quickly.
  12. Snow and Kevin Glenn starting for the Als plus Ti-Cats making good use of the run game.
  13. Well, I guess if O'Shea didn't like the current changes he would certainly offer his expert input. Still I think they have to find a way to get Wild on the field for every down.
  14. Because that is the system they are running. It's all about keeping OL from getting to the second level and forcing cutbacks. Bass is basically your MLB in the way you're thinking of it, the guy chasing the play. He's been a beast once he adjusted to the width of the field and figured out how to get on the right side of the play to make tackles with his inside shoulder. Why you have had to explain this a half dozen times this season astounds me lol. hurl is a gap filler and guy that keeps a RB/mobile funneled into the other play makers. Just because he is the "MLB" in our defense doesnt make him the prototypical MLB seen in most defenses.. So Hurl essentially functions as a "plug"?
  15. Over the years I have read a lot of opinions that Harper actually wears a toupee but have not seen any definitive evidence of this fact. There is a helluva lot of horizontal going on in this picture but nothing more to substantiate the claims other than the fact that his hair looks really weird.
  16. Why pick on Muslims exclusively when the same situation exists for most women in 3rd world countries? Canada itself did not consider women to be "persons" until 1929 so the root of this attitude is in male dominated culture, not strictly in religious beliefs.
  17. The Cornish threat has basically been eliminated from their O so now I think D's are paying much more attention to pass defending against Cgy. Mitchell is middle of the pack as a passer.
  18. Amazing last minute drive by the Esks. ties the game up and we have O.T.
  19. BC is on the verge of upsetting the Esks, this may be taken out of the Bombers hands sooner then predicted.
  20. If you re-watch some of this seasons early games you will see that Willy often holds on to the ball for an extra second looking for a medium to deep route to develop. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't but I don't think any other Bomber QB that's played this season has had that level of patience or the courage to stand in the pocket and wait for the deep man to get open.
  21. I have come to the conclusion that when Nichols feels pressure and tries to make things happen, he comes unglued and throws picks. Much like Glenn he looks decent when nothing is on the line but neither handles stress well. Injury replacement looks to be Nichols ceiling.
  22. Listening to O'Shea on the post-game show is sad. After almost two full years as a HC, he still doesn't have much idea of what went wrong and no idea about how to go about fixing it.
  23. ...and that's when he started in with the drugs.
  24. Was there a moat involved? This "wise woman" didn't happen to be your wife by any chance???
  25. This analogy sucked the first time you used it too. Is a nerdy economist like Harper a better fit to be a leader than a charismatic pretty boy that people gravitate too? Not as easy an answer as you think it is. A big part of the leader's job is to get people to like/support him. It's not like he's in charge of drafting every bill and personally preparing the budget. As long as he's got smart people in the background doing the dirty work he'll be fine. It doesn't matter if Harper is a supergenius if people can't stand him. This article cuts to the heart of the matter, Harper's political games have not unified Canadians but have created divisiveness at every turn. He has shown no respect for rules, government or his position and has used manipulation to achieve his "win at all cost" legacy. I for one will be glad to move on from this era of negativity and onto a more positive approach to building a cohesive Canada. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/high-road-approach-may-pay-off-for-liberals/article26793261/ “The Conservatives are not our enemies. They are our friends.” – Justin Trudeau, Oct. 4, Brampton, Ont., at what the Liberals say was the largest political rally of the election campaign. The Liberal Leader has spoken often about his desire to reach out, to bring Canadians together. It sounds hokey, but it contrasts with the Conservatives, who acknowledge their fondness for divisive wedge issues, the niqab being only the latest example. If Mr. Trudeau wins on Monday, it will be an unprecedented accomplishment in Canadian politics. No party has ever come from third place to win a federal election. And if he reaches the goal, it will be in part because of his constructive and positive approach. This not only sets him apart from Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, but also from Pierre Trudeau, who could be acid-tongued and polarizing. The son has never been as confrontational as the father, whose politics left Western Canada alienated. This in turn gave rise to Mr. Harper’s enmity and the Reform Party. How remarkably ironic would it be if the offspring of the prime minister who helped to create Mr. Harper is now the one who takes him down? It was only a week or two ago that Justin Trudeau’s reaching-out approach looked to be in trouble. Opinion polls were showing that the issue over the wearing of the niqab was turning the campaign in Mr. Harper’s favour. But since last week, the Liberals have shot ahead of the Conservatives in most polls. Stature was a problem for the untested Mr. Trudeau entering the campaign, but the niqab debate appears to have elevated it, putting him on the high road, while Mr. Harper, who has warned that he might extend the niqab-wearing ban to federal government workers, is decried for using race-baiting tactics to win votes. Harper cabinet ministers Chris Alexander and Kellie Leitch fuelled the fire, announcing the establishment of an RCMP tip line. It’s more like a snitch line, you might say, in that it’s for Canadians to report on one another if they suspect neighbours are engaging in barbaric cultural practices. This country’s academics have generally, for a variety of reasons including fear of retribution, steered clear of challenging Mr. Harper’s autocratic tendencies. But 587 of them have issued an open letter in protest against tactics “that betray the values of mutual respect and toleration that lie at the heart of civil democratic discourse.” The niqab controversy followed the Duffy scandal, which revealed a Prime Minister’s Office concocting cover-up schemes, planning to falsify audits, blatantly misleading the public. Mr. Harper’s ratings on trust were already below Mr. Trudeau’s and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair’s to begin the campaign. They could cost him dearly on election day, but he appears oblivious to criticism. Almost 70 per cent of Canadians tell pollsters that they want change. But Mr. Harper has essentially run a no-change campaign. No change in terms of major policy direction. No change in terms of the way he runs his operation. Not a single promise to clean it up. Hubris is an occupational hazard of prime ministers long in power. Mr. Harper appears to be no exception. “It isn’t about me,” the leader frequently accused of running a one-man, all-controlling government said last week. Not about him? He might try telling that to public servants, who were instructed by his office some years ago to use the appellation the “Harper Government” in their correspondence, as opposed to the traditional “Government of Canada.” Mr. Trudeau says the comportment of the Prime Minister’s Office should reflect the decency of the Canadian people, not a political war zone. Many top-office seekers make these platitudinous, high-sounding promises only to forget them upon being crowned. Mr. Trudeau could be the same, but maybe not. Not only are there lessons learned from his fractious father, but he represents a younger generation of Canadians, a generation that will turn on him quickly if he starts playing the old cynical politics. But first he has to win. If the high road versus the low road factors into much of the decision-making on election day, his chances will escalate.
