Fatty Liver

Maybe Nik Lewis is back in next game. Interesting side story with the Stamps big back Martell Mallett out of football for 5 years. Looked good tonight and Matty loves him. http://www.calgarysun.com/2014/07/31/extended-time-between-snaps-for-stampeders-running-back-martell-mallett

Great game and great result! BC looked hungry tonight.

Nik Lewis is a healthy scratch. Might be time for him to move on ti another team. Turning out to be a really good game.

Harris is a wrecking ball, in talent I think he is better than Cornish.

Calgary was 8-10 in 2001 and um, well they made it to the Grey Cup game. I don't remember who their opponent was. No they cancelled the Grey Cup that year, was a shame too because I thought the Bombers had a great chance to win it all. As I recall it had something to do with protesting the Soviet invasion of Irtusk.

I think this group is the best I have seen in a while that work as one unit. Five guys that get push up the field and all have big time motors. Hardest working bunch of Dline men I have seen. So far I think this is the strongest group on the team. That's pretty much how Doug Brown described them on the CJOB pre-game show. Lunch bucket crew without any big stars, just a hard working bunch with good motors.

Re-watched this play numerous times on CFL.ca and saw a few things. -Willy was out of time. He had a rusher coming from his right that was within a foot of him when he released the ball. -Pontbriand or whoever was on the right end of the line was tag teaming to his inside so he missed that rusher. -Grigsby was being covered by a D-Lineman that was late to arrive, it's clear Willy had to get it up and over this player who was running with his hands in the air so it was a very good throw. -The greatest threat to the reception was the man covering Denmark, if he would have been watching the QB more closely he would have seen the ball coming and perhaps fought to it. If Denmark would have taken his man to the corner there would have been a lot more space around Grigsby and less risk of a knock down. -Best of all, it worked!

Wasn't he a free agent? I believe he is the only player that O'Shea probably recruited himself.

If you're going to throw a ball up and leave it to chance make sure Kelly is involved. If that play was called at midfield nobody would be praising it as it would be picked off 50% of the time.

Even with the original play call I don't recall the Bombers successfully executing the throw into the corner this year although I know they've tried it numerous times. Seems to me a long throw in confined space is usually a bad idea, especiallly when it's a rainbow. Grigsby was a good choice as the receiver as the Ti-Cats were probably all over Kelly and Denmark but he's the wrong choice if you expect him to fight for a ball. In his own words he was scared to jump for it but luckily the pass landed right in his hands.

I see no evidence of O'Shea's inventiveness on special teams, seems he's leaving it entirely to his coordinator Pat Tracey. Hopefully in the future when he's more comfortable with the H.C. gig he can spice it up a bit.

I don't know who was responsible for calling the last play of the game but that was an insane choice imo. They only needed 3 yards to score, a quick slant in and a bullet to Denmark has better odds than throwing a rainbow across the field to a RB. I was virtually stunned when that play succeeded.

My God, I'm not blaming Walters or Tim Burke for 2013 as neither is solely responsible for the losses of the team. What is it exactly that that you think Burke could have done to change the course of the 2013 season? Pretend he had a QB that could win? The failure of the 2013 season lies with the Bombers entire organization from players on up to the B.O.D. and it includes both Burke and Walters. You are looking for a scapegoat, you choose Burke, congratulations, enjoy!

Ignorant. You don't think a head coach who throws his players under the bus at every turn, who basically said that the talent level on the team isn't good enough to win, isn't a cancer in the room? You don't think that stuff doesn't bring the team down. Have you ever had a boss that everyone hated that when he walked into the room everyone shut up and was immediately on edge? I was never in the locker room, so I can't say this is how it was, but based on what I saw of his interviews, how he composed himself, how he spoke, and what he said, I would have a very hard time respecting what he did and said as a player. And that is the worst kind of cancer to bring to any team, because it permeates from the top down. Bashing people grows old very quickly, especially after they're gone. Tim Burke had his faults no doubt, being truthful and candid were probably a few of them but in most walks of life these traits are admired. How about Walters role in the 2013 season? In your mind does he walk free without absorbing any of the responsibility for the team's losing record? For the majority of the season he was the GM above even Tim Burke if I recall. What actions did he take to provide Burke with better players so that they could win? Is he absolved of all blame? The part of your statement that I bolded actually made me chuckle. If you ever find yourself in the back of a room grumbling about your boss or organization guess what? In that situation you are the "cancer" of which you speak.

Why the hell does Wetenhall need a board of directors when he owns the team? He can run it badly all on his own.

Doubt Matthews is going to get back into coaching at 75 but a little pocket change never hurts. I don't think any of the Als. coaches are in line to be fired as the screw ups came from above. Even in the case of Dinwiddie he was thrown into the fire when they canned Worman so I can't see them holding him responsible for their on field problems. He's a young guy so he'll most likely accept a demotion back to assistant when they come up with a better option for O.C. but can't see that being either Matthews or this Turk guy. I guess it's safe to assume the Als did not have a dedicated QB coach prior to this hiring?

Moore's absence shouldn't make much difference in this game with Kelly coming back but but I would really like to see Kohlert moved into Moore's position and Bryant switched over to WR.

Golf, skiing, it's the same parasites exploiting the sport to make money off of developing the land and unfortunately the sport becomes secondary to the business. A round of golf is worth $25 not $85 IMO.

Does a bear Catholic? What??? I thought about this for 10 minutes and I still don't get it. Do you mean "Is the pope Catholic"? It's a funny, purposefully non-sensical combination of "Does a bear **** in the woods?" and "Is the Pope Catholic?" I found this one funnier than the usual combination, which is "Does the Pope **** in the woods?" So kudos, Tracker, for making me laugh on a forum that isn't the one I normally go to for laughs. "Does the Pope **** in the woods?" Now that's funny!

Grigsby didn't really look all that bad on Friday night. The tackles for big losses really hurt his stats. He was also asked to convert a lot of short yardage. yeah he did look that bad. He did too much side to side running rather than taking the ball upfield and not getting much he ran sideways and lost more. Just re-watching the game now. Through the first quarter Grigsby looked great. Effective both running and catching. On to the second quarter.

Give your head a shake man, yer playing too many video games. Nobody that plays professional football is a "pansy". Would you like to be steam rolled by a 300 lb. lineman? Doubt it.

And I cannot argue with logic like this. I disagree. I think KBF was way off base here. Bloody Hell, I was stupid enough to watch that video and now I can't get that damn song out of my head! Pay back will be coming!

He has already proven that he can be productive in a better system. I wouldn't write him off yet and expect him to show his worth in the seconds half of the season once the Ti-Cats get their act together. They've got a lot of vet talent on that club that probably doesn't take kindly to getting thumped.

Als. would have been smart to go after Glenn but Wally's not going to let him go until after the Grey Cup now.
