  1. no, it does not.... prime Willie and Jeffcoat would've feasted on that...
  2. both lines... it is the absolute downfall of this team... I believe that switch came between games... though there was a rumour that move came from above... and everyone was stressing that Miller was getting too hands on with the team... maybe he needs to do that again...
  3. I guess the question would be... is he not playing because they don't trust him or are they too loyal to the existing players?... if it's the former, why is he even here?... if it's the latter... that's a good way for a coach to lose his job
  4. Maybe I'm missing the tone of this post but to the first bolded point... how do you know that?... I'm not saying Wilson is the next CFL superstar... but at this point, we have no idea what he is... could, at the very least, be an upgrade from Streveler... Second bolded... we all hope for that every game... it just seems to happen less and less these days...
  5. sure... but the point is when the team looks this bad... and they claim to be a championship team, in a home GC year... it's logical to wonder why the players are getting so much time off...
  6. our lines are bad... that's why the team is bad... if you could magically make our DL and OL top notch and leave everything else as is... this team would be in the mix for 1st again... Seriously though... what do we have to lose starting Terry Wilson next game??? Accidentally finding a good QB?
  7. this is pretty much exactly what I said after we signed him back... the frustrating/confusing part is we decide to stick with Wilson at 32 years old after three injury reduced seasons... but move on from Woli at 30 years old with only 1 injury season
  8. I agree with Milt... but O'Shea is also totally correct... can't possibly make that call definitively without knowing all the info...
  9. I don't think there's any chance Dinwiddie gets fired... but if he did... I can think of another position I'd like him in here... and it would be slightly higher than OC Not that I want Zach to call it a career... he's clearly the best QB we have on the roster now... but something like that would, at least, force our coaching and management to make some changes... 100%... anyone who disagree with this still just hates him for wearing green for so long...
  10. you're missing the point... it's not just the fans that call it the labour day rematch... the Rider org and management refuse to call it the banjo bowl... this whole "banjo bowl preview" is a joke from fans, mostly at this site (I've never heard/seen it anywhere else)... in conclusion... one is just a fan thing... the other is a cry-baby organization who's feelings are hurt by the name of a football game... In general, the best way to disrupt a QB is give him all the time in the world in the pocket... and have zero pocket collapsers... also no interior rush/run stop is solid too... that's how I would build my defense! Like the old saying goes... the lines aren't very important to football and you can easily win with shitty line play (I think I have that right)... teams are build from the outside in? Is that it?
  11. Kramdi playing means Adams or Woods gets in the line up... that should be worth something.... especially with Schmek out... we should take Ayers off (though I'd prefer to keep him in a scratch Wilson) and dress both Woods and Adams...
  12. Calgary completely bottomed out... to suggest they weren't forced to make wholesale changes is revisionist.... Hopefully the Bombers can and do make major changes before the bottom falls out, like it did in Calgary
  13. while I like Kyrie Wilson as a player, when healthy... this is exactly the reason why I did not like his resigning.... why couldn't Ayers and J Jones rotate through the defense instead?... and now we might have a good one in Woodbey... why are we wasting reps on a 32 year old LB when he have younger, cheaper, and likely better options...
  14. this is a little bit revisionist... most would agree he was a nice quality rotational piece on the DL... up until about 2021... my fondest memory of him (and what I would consider essentially his last useful play as a Bomber) was his bullrush that led to a holding call in OT of the 21 GC... that penalty negated a good run, put Hammy into 1st and 20, which became 2nd and 18, and the rest is history... Jake should've went out on top after that year
  15. I believe guys on IR with designation to return count against the cap... if he's out for the year, no cap hit...
  16. it's not necessarily about him being just a 500 yard receiver... if that's all he brought, I'd agree... he brings chemistry with the offense.... blocking... TE-type play... leadership... reliability (as a player, not necessarily when it comes to injury concerns)... if the Bomber decided to bring him back, it wouldn't be to put this O over the top... it would be help shore up the bottom end and provide depth... Of course we all agree, unearthing a difference maker at this point would be amazing... but probably not realistic...
  17. if Sterns is out... why does Schoen's presence knock Mitchell out of the line up? If we're gonna pull vets off the scrap heap... why not throw them into action?
  18. overall, I'm not disappointed... but it's hard to forget some of those long balls... and he seemed too comfortable at times for a raw QB... 2021 Bombers would've shut them out, easy... like I'm confident they wouldn't have passed midfield, lol....
  19. reminds me a bit of the Nichols-Harris offense (and I don't mean that as an insult)... now if we could get the deep shot back into the game... we could be cooking again
  20. This is kind of my take away... Mtl's offense was a shell of it's normal self... and we gave up 13 points... not great against a 4th string QB... but not terrible Our O vs their D was basically health vs health (minus Dequoy and Schoen)... and then we were down to 3 viable receivers by the second half... we managed to put up 26 points and get the W To me, this game is a far bigger positive than needing 2 ST TDs to beat a bad Toronto team, at home, a few weeks ago...
  21. which is great... until they do stop us... then what?
  22. he admitted to it in the post game... in a "I shouldn't have done it and my emotions got the best of me" kind of way
  23. Schmekel > Thomas... having them both out there is the biggest problem...
  24. the odd part is he challenged a Demski catch last year just to stick it to the refs... knowing that wining the challenge would actually cost us two yards....
  25. it says "against the host teams"... so I think we just play Tor in Winnipeg twice next year instead of a home and home... which doesn't really make sense... you'd think it would be a neutral site game in fairness to the Argos For example they could play their "home" game against Sask in Winnipeg... and their "home" game against Wpg in Regina... this would also include the added benefit that the Wpg and Sask fans likely would not cheer for their rival giving the Argos something of a home field advantage...
