I agree with Mr.P and others. Though, TBH - right now who we sign doesn't bother me as we are set in the QB position. Willy is god (well ok, that's a little too far I know but I'm so stoked about him, I've been waiting years (like most of you) for a bondafide #1 guy). Brohm and especially Marve seem like good solid backups (especially Marve). So, unlike last year when we had no one, why not take chances on these guys. You might find a real gem but if you don't, I'm confident this coaching / management staff won't think twice about releasing someone in a month rather than spin their wheels on them for a few years like they've been doing.
BTW - I haven't watched the videos - they mean nothing to me. I have to see a QB manage a game, see him at his average, before I judge him. Any QB can look like Payton Manning in a hi-light video.
I think this is the most optimistic I've ever seen you... based on conversations in the OB days.... then again, those were dark days...
Funny that you mention Peyton Manning.... I watched about a minute of the highlight video... seems he throws a lot of "ducks".... but a lot of people commented on how Peyton threw "ducks" last year... that turned out ok for him...

While I agree this is not a mind blowing feat... I think about Max Hall and Buck Pierce and Joey Elliot and Justin Goltz and Alex Brink..... could any of these men perform that throw??
Do you mean from one to another to another?
Hahah yeah... that's what I meant... all five of them together!
-
You can tell last year and reputation/expectation is still very much a consideration in the power rankings.... they should start to be more accurate after 4-5 weeks....
kinda scary how similar Hamilton's 2013 end/2014 beginning of the season is to Winnipeg 2011 end/2012 beginning... right down to the stadium delays!
-
I like Jim Toth... not cuz he has any legitimate knowledge of sports.... but he's just entertaining to listen to.... Kinda like Nate said, clowns are fun!
-
Seems like any lineman out of Calgary or Laval recently have become good CFL players.... interesting list to follow... we'll see who shakes out as a legit NFL prospect and who is left for the CFL after this year...

I was torn on this one when I first saw it.... I definitely think Odell did a good job to lower his shoulder and try to avoid head contact... IMO the head contact was incidental.... but since Collaros was hurt on the play I'm not surprised there was a fine...
-
this is turning into a real disaster for Hamilton... sure it was a dump, but at least we had a 29,500 seat back up stadium ready to go when ours was delayed... not to mentiom this is supposed to be on ESPN... yikes... the CFL absolutely needs to flex this game out... showing a bad CIS stadium to unaware American fans is gonna make the CFL look like a mickey mouse organization...

I kinda hope the Als win... I don't want them too hungry next week

Yes he nearly caused an interception in the 4th when he gave up on his route and had to chase and knock the ball out of the defenders mitts.
lol seriously? You harp on me calling Kelly average all offseason and now that he's on pace for a 1000 yard season, you want to call for him to be benched?Agreed on the varied play calling... Also much more aggressive on second and long.
No more turning over on offense..
My only gripe with Willy was holding onto the ball to long in the first and third.
The other was Kelly giving up on his routes a few times... I wouldn't be shocked if Bryant replaces him.
He did make a good play dragging two guys for the first down.
What???? that ball was thrown into triple coverage.... are you sure you were watching Bombers vs Redblacks last night and not some pre-recorded game?? maybe Kelly coulda fought back to try and make a stop but that pick was on Willy
Kelly was streaking and open and then he stopped running and then had to play catch up... He had the jump but stopped half way through and then ran again.
I was thinking Kelly was the intended receiver... after seeing the replay I realized it was Moore.... kinda kills my argument
-
I thought the o-line struggled when Greaves went down... any updates on his status?
-
I believe the free press said Ottawa is not interested.... but this wouldn't be the first time Desjardins didn't exactly tell the truth...,.
in other news.... Sears + Kuale = a second level players are gonna be scared to run through

the reason why the stadium location hurts walk up has been discussed on TSN1290 and CJOb bomber pre game shows. Last week I believe it was the post game show. And it's just common sense. You are never going to get a bunch of youths playing football in the backyard or swimming with the family/friends going ''i want to go to the bomber game'' response ''well how can we get there?''
I know where I grew up in Birds Hill my parents and friends parents would never let us go downtown but if we wanted to go to a Jets game or Blue Bomber game they always knew that polo park was our meeting place before/after. It was safer. I can only imagine my parents saying ''sure you can go to IGF field and just go to one of those park and rider spots.... its too much work for everyone involved so we would stay home and watch the game on television which is another issue. Back then games were mostly blacked out unless you had those large illegal satellite dishes that would get TSN out of ontario or CBC Brandon (if you remember what it was like in the '80's and '90s.....
Another thing is you will not get approx 1,000 maybe even more fans who just happen to be around polo park saying ''lets go to a football game''..... you will never get that at IGF. Those days are done....
In regards to Asper. Yes it's his fault because he anchored the location to try to get this foot in the door. He had no money of his own and he wanted the levels of gov't to support him and give the team for free as assurance that he can support the team with his real estate dream.... If he would have come clean the BB would have dealt with the CanadInn guy and most likely would have built the stadium at the Red River Ex or somewhere along the perimeter near the new CentrePort highway which would have instilled economic growth instead of burning money into land that leads to nothing but a concrete stadium in IGF.
How is it any better having the stadium at Assiniboia Downs for people other than those living on the west side of the city? Both locations (University where IGF is located or potentially at the Downs would have had their problems. At least Polo Park was somewhat centralized with very good bus service in & out. Lots of parking as well. Getting to & from the stadium by car wasn't too bad either.
taking the bus to IGF is easier/quicker than taking the bus to CanadInns... I've done both many times...

no, my understanding is their only association is that Neufeld tweeted at him... said he was a big fan and could hook him up with some gear.... perhaps more coversation ensues from there?
My guess is the wedding has something to do with Julie Stewart-Binks from Fox Sports 1, who was also was also at the game.... him and JSB have been at a bunch of Kings games together.... she was the other import (along with Jay and Dan, obviously) that FS1 shipped in...
-
I absolutely loved the way the defense adjusted last night.... they came out flat and were unsure how to handle a team they'd never seen on film.... after the first quarter the D made some adjustments and completely shut down Hank letting 3 FGs (one missed) the rest of the way.... IMO that's the least prepared we will see this team to start a game all year...
-
It would have been a loss of down had it been first or second down. However since it was third down you can't force a turnover on the penalty so it was a 10 yard penalty instead of the usual 5 for time count violation.
thank you

I don't think anyone's hating on him.... just pointing out he needs to improve his pass protection to be an all-around complete back...
-
Maybe this has come up somewhere else but I didn't see it...
When Ottawa was called for a time count violation with 7 seconds to go the refs issued a 10-yard penalty and replay of the down... I thought that penalty, at that point, in the game is a loss of down.... so I thought the call there shoulda been loss of downs and a turn over on downs.... Am I mistaken?
turns out it didn't make a difference but at the time it coulda been a huge call....
thoughts?
-
I liked the move in the first place cuz he was brought in to be a veteran presence and provide a winning attitude.... clearly he didn't fit the bill... the way Sears is playing, no on will miss him on the field and it doesn't sound like he'll be missed much off the field...
-
gotta love the offensive production but pass protection was the major issue with Chad Simpson.... I think have a real OC who runs a real offense with a real O-line coach will help him improve.... Cotton will give him a run for his money... either way we have a good future at RB

I came here to lose my **** on someone. Imagine my relief
hahah exactly what I was thinking!

lets not forget Archer if we count cartoons, that is a greeat show
Agreed... however anything with Jon Benjamin can pretty much be labelled "hipster"
Really? The dude is freaking funny. How are we defining hipster? Archer is fantastic, cartoon or not.
Community, Archer, AD, 30 Rock...all shows that are "smart-funny" and not laugh-tracked crap.
Well somebody started by labelling everything with no laugh track and one camera angle as "hipster".... I disagree.... just when you think of shows Benjamin like Archer, Bob's Burgers, JB has a van, etc none of these were really mainstream hits... which technically makes them "hipster" ... which is also why I quoted the word
