  1. That game in hand over us by the Leos could be the dif. maker....even though we hold the season series...That game on the coast when we folded in the second half like a cheap suit , I think was the start of our coming 'undone' (que the Guess Who)… Now look where they are and our position in the basement ..The only game we have a chance at closing the gap is the one at home against the riders, and we also have to hope they start losing...Depending on how important Edm. views the last game we have with them, that could open the door for 2 pts....IF they need it ..it will be very tough sledding...Calgary might cough one up if they're coasting resting players...That's it...Ottawa will want to keep their first place edge on Ham.....The way we're playing...doubtful there....Methinks we're in trouble...…...BUT paste together our walking wounded... study the film hard....stick to the plan....play hard every game and have sing a longs with the head coach....hey any things possible
  2. Edmonton is going to be one tough son-of-a-biscuit to crack...I'd say we need all hands on deck and am a little concerned about Harris and Bighill....We aren't going anywhere without those two playing a 100 percent....I thought Wild looked alright for the most part filling for Bighill but he's no Biggie...Concerning for sure BUT after that bad slide and that little spark we got last night...can we build it into something bigger...Time for the real Blue Bombers to stand up...….or fold the tent and stand down...We'll see
  3. Managed a win against the cellar dweller...It was getting iffy for awhile but we definitely improved in a season MUST win...Nichols seem to be coming around but I'll reserve further comment until after the Edm. game
  4. The effort was better and a good result BUT we have to take into consideration who we were playing....That old bugaboo ..4..count em ..2 and outs in a row was starting to rear it's ugly head...Nichols overcame it in time to put together some offence but that tendency against a stronger club could have been fatal....Don't know whether it's the play calling or Nichols going into a funk but if we're going to go anywhere the rest of the way in 18' it has to stop..In any event we'll take the 2 pts.
  5. Wolitarsky made some clutch catches.....this kid is on his way to big things in this league Thompkins...starting to look like the receiver we thought he was Sayles... is making a name for himself in the secondary....hope it continues
  6. The Germans bombed Pearl Harbour????So the Japanese are off the hook...re-written history at it's best....or worst...LOL I want a win as badly as the next guy...as anti-climactic as that be...I want to run the table for the rest of the year just to get to respectability....A lot to expect??? I don't think so after 5 yrs.
  7. Must win....no doubt about it....If nothing else the players should be playing for the coach they luv to keep his job, cuz a loss here will seal his fate....A Mont. win and it will be poop meet fan...and the fan ain't gonna be a bit happy
  8. film was studied hard….and the guys are ready to play......well you know
  9. lol....someone asked a good question....how did he pay for the cab, did he have his wallet in his helmet....
  10. Someone said the Amerc's tuning in to Johnny football will put Wpg. on the map, to many down south....Well we are already on the map , in plenty of hollywood xmas, wintery movies, where they change the name of Winnipeg to some city in the states...They just don't know the streets belong to our fair metropolis
  11. I'm not a total fan of the guy but I do respect where he came from..He was one helluva player on D in his day....Too bad it hasn't transcended to Mike O the coach....So far, IF his playing career was anything like his non-success head coaching career, he'd have been cut...Chances for him are running pretty thin, and like 'do or' says I want to see the beef and some prime stuff....So far all I've seen is c grade hamburger
  12. I'd never had that problem...my pate looks a lot like Jacks'..AND I agree shave those locks LOL
  13. OUCH....now that, that's out there....there will be a few guys tucking the dreads or things could get awful hairy
  14. I certainly have no problem with our current crop of national receivers....it's the American imports I have a problem with...Do you really see any longevity and good return in bringing in guys like Lankford?...The current international receivers look pretty weak and I would say our draft pics Petermann,Simonise and Wolitarsky (of last yr.) outclass any of them...Surely to gawd we can find one decent international receiver...to develop, as you say...So far I don't see any...Remember the days of Robert Gordon and Arland Bruce..( to name a couple and a long time ago)...We used to find them...I know there must be one or two still out there??
  15. So we find ourselves currently in the western basement....I hope Walters and O'Shea can see the red flags flying over IGF....cuz I sure can...Doesn't look like any hope on the horizon either as there seems to be a lot of hand sitting.....not even a rumour of anything changing...Writing on the wall is getting clearer and clearer as the days go by
  16. Looks like the right team won last night in Sask.....great
  17. We do have the same amount of development time....BUT first you have to start with chicken to make a chicken salad....watery eggs won't do
  18. Can we hire someone from the stamps to find us some players.....Where the hell do they get these guys....Makes our recruiting look pathetic...Latest star Beggleton….they just keep coming for the stumps and we can't find a receiver to save our lives
  19. Just a figure of speech....'For their sakes' doesn't mean I personally want to see them back...What it does mean is that will be a foregone conclusion if we miss post season and they will be dealt with...which is quite possible...I still hope we can pull something off in the last few games..(unlikely if we lose to the basement dwellers)...but there's still a flicker....Once that's extinguished.....clean house
  20. IF we somehow find a way to lose to the Als., the boos will be deafening...directed I would say at our current coach and Nichols....However IF we win the eventual drop to the bottom will probably commence the following week as dashed dreams start to become a reality...I hope for this managements sake that doesn't happen.. BUT...……...
  21. We need anyone that's breathing at the moment....We could've tried to fit him in...BUT I digress....apparently Rainey blew up in the meeting room when someone suggested he NOT try for extra yardage on every play...He said he wasn't built that way and had a run in with Wally...That's the story.....so was he really available as he's listed for their next game...Farhan on the coast said he was headed for the 'available' column but when 5 clubs explored the idea of bringing him in they all said....'too expensive'...Dead issue
  22. You're right it is inept overall BUT I guess I was thinking home field in 2017...Doesn't translate to 18 however....Matter of fact very little about this club is translating from 17' to this year
  23. It's going to be a hard sell IF we miss the post season ...The majority of fans will not buy this current group another year and it will start showing at the gate...This is a business and when the bottom line starts reflecting bad management and coaching the red flag is hoisted...There's been enough time for this current regime to at least produce a win in the playoffs...IF that doesn't occur the gloves will be off and the exit door for a few people on this club will be wide open...Bet on it
  24. Here's one for you....beating an improved Mont. team is not a slam dunk by any means...Popkin...or whatever his name is hitting targets all over the field....Their D is starting to swarm like their old days...They don't need to start Johnny football cuz what they have is going to be a challenge...AND IF we do drop the next one say goodbye to 18' and most likely to our not so illustrious coach...Playing at IGF is not the advantage it used to be and Streveler will have to have a great game...O'Say says he's starting Nichols....I doubt he finishes...BUT surprise the hell out of me Mike and Matt
  25. Why not make an attempt to acquire Rainey....He's sitting on the B.C. bench and is rumoured to be available....At least tell us you made an attempt Walters for cripes sake...We need a returner with some speed not a catch and flop bull$hitter like we have at present...
