That's not true... they signed Capicotti, Shawn Lemon, Curtis Steele, Shawmad Chambers... those guys are all working out great... right? you sound confident

I guess they threw him in just for the Hecht of it... I'll show myself out....

It's a pretty safe bet that most CFL fans outside of Winnipeg have absolutely no idea what kind of Canadian depth we have....

After the Hamilton game I looked at the schedule and saw Tor, Mtl, Sask, Sask... I thought it would be really great to go 3-1 in that stretch... I was accounting for one loss in the most obvious game... I won't be confident we win that game until the score board says 0:00 Wpg: lots Sask: not very much

In his very first article with the WFC he wrote saying that was one of the conditions of this job.... he wanted to autonomy to write how he wants to write... a decent read if you can track it down...

kudos to Dunk, Edwards, Darrell Davis, John Hodge, and the rest of the crew at 3DN... they were all over this story and reported it accurately and responsibly... Pederson should spend more time on that site... he could learn a thing or two about journalism from mostly bloggers...

I don't know... his shoes look pretty comfortable to me........... SMH I'm such a loser

I sure hope so.... but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves...

why is it when other teams have a bye week before playing the Bombers they have extra time to get healthy and prepare... but when the bombers have a bye week it's a momentum killer and sure sign they'll come out flat and rusty??

so you don't anticipate them going 11-0 down the stretch?

this bad feeling you have is known as being-a-Bomber-fan-itis... every time it looks like things are starting to go well... well, you know what happens next...

Yes.. it was 100% sarcasm... Bill Belichick will be known as a cheater til the day he dies...

whatever, doesn't change the point!

I think the biggest thing here is all the hats he's wearing... he proved in Edmonton that he can handle being a good HC and DC... and I'm sure he had input on personnel too... but giving him full reigns as GM and VP of Football Ops (or whatever other title he has) may be the straw that broke the camels back...

What do you mean... Bill Belichick and the Pats have had no issue dropping the "cheater" moniker...

sorry this is incorrect on both points... we've dressed 6 OL every game this year and Jake Thomas played in an emergency situation against Calgary week 5 after Neufeld and Hardrick (?? I can't remember the second injury) got hurt...

we're talking about the Bombers... not he riders... the Bombers have dressed 6 o-lineman every game this year... early in the year Travis Bond was listed on the depth chart but was a game day scratch...

I have no issue with the Bilukidi pick... for a guy who may wash out of the NFL in a few years, I don't think a 3rd rounder was too much... then again, Bilukidi was drafted by Baltimore so you knew he was more than training camp fodder... but taking a guy who has an NFL contract in hand 2nd overall...

You're right... if either of these guys have any chance of coming north any time soon... it would be Bilukidi... but I'm not holding my breath on either...

I've watched a little bit of Toronto play this year... and even with Ricky in the line-up, they don't look particularly intimidating... I would guess Toronto is probably a 3-4 point favourite... but I'd say this is a winnable game for the Bombers...

Couture has filled in adequately a few times this year... and we go with one back up O-lineman every game... Jake Thomas is the second back up if there's 2 injuries... this is nothing new....

Good comparison, thanks for that, but I'm fairly sure the Pats were docked some draft picks too (I'll look into it)... I would have liked to have seen more of an on-field hit... take away a first round pick (or more) and hand some kind of suspension to Jones... EDIT: The Pats also lost a first round pick... http://nesn.com/2012/03/bill-belichick-patriots-got-off-easy-with-spygate-punishment-in-comparison-to-sean-payton-saints-bou/

good analogy just curious if anyone has popped over to riderfans to see what the spin is over there?

I'm surprised we haven't heard a story from Pederson yet about the quality scouting and roster management Chris Jones has done and how this is a non-story...

The point most people are making is the traffic in Toronto in that area is going to significantly eclipse any Winnipeg traffic... football game or not... If your argument is the amount of people specifically going to the football game... the yes, Winnipeg has more...
