Nasty Nate

Don't think any other team would trade for watson, even when he was healthy...Cuz he can't stay healthy so trading him for a NI oline, which teams trades good NI olinemen during the season? Especially for chronically injured receivers?  NONE. Watson for SJ Green and a Pick, probably have to be Watson plus and a pick for SJ Green. 

Or he needs a holder.

I still remember the days when guys like Herb Grey, Phil Minnick, etc. would stuff legends like George Reed, Earl "Earthquake' Lunsford, Lovell Coleman, George Dixon, etc.
As for a previous poster stating Zack Anderson was a big guy - he sure got swallowed up big-time in Benny Heenan's basket. Looked pretty small and ineffective against a monster like Heenan.
I think Kromah and Kuale might be solid for the first half Sunday. Then who knows?

Perhaps they should share Tim Horton's Field in Hamilton until further notice. Tiny problem when Toronto plays Hamilton but I suspect Hammy doesn't have more than 14,000 season ticket holders and Toronto might have 2,000. If its a big playoff game (eastern final) and Toronto has home field advantage then use the bloody Skydome and jam 20,000 fans into that cavern of doom.
 
Only thing you'd have to do is enhance bus transport to Hamilton for the 2,000 or so season ticket holders - whats Hammy to Toronto? about 40 miles?

I like O'shea as a coach, he's done more good for sure but the one criticism i'd have of him is his loyalty to veterans who don't produce. Kuale and Bryant being 2 examples. Although I'm sure he's listening to his coordinators here quite a bit too. But maybe he shouldn't. 

Two small men with good hearts being traded for each other.
Suber is a poor man's Richie Hall - Hall was small but fairly effective over his career. Suber is enthusiastic but too often found himself in chase positon. Perhaps a product of working behind suspect d-lines.
Thaddeus doesn't really fit the profile of what the Bombers need most. A heavy set killer who can push back strong o-line blockers and create mayhem in the opponent's backfield (ie. Doug Brown type, Bill Baker, that guy who breaks arms in BC)
Even our best bullrushing d-lineman Zach Anderson was pretty much controlled and over-powered by Bigboy Heenan. .... so I suspect Gibson is one of those guys who rarely takes the bull route to the QB - more of a juke 'n jagger like O'Dell Willis. Trouble is by the time this type of guy takes his circuitious route to the QB too much time has elapsed and most CFL QBs have released the pigskin by the time a perimeter guy arrives.

It was the right call. Defense has to take the heat for this loss

Kuale is absolutely worthless out there. I'm so sick of seeing him making one of his very few tackles during a game (usually after a decent gain) and then showboating afterwards. His emotion means nothing if he doesn't do his job.

Was Miller EVER really liked by fans?   And I don't count the people that call into the post-game show.
 
His best moment as a player was stepping in front of Asper when that idiot went on his hissy fit.  But now, he's back on the board.  Which makes me shiver..............

Me as well.  The Bannon dismissal did not bother me one bit though.  He was hit and miss service wise for me.  One time he was a total dumb a$$ to me.  Glad Bannon is gone

I'm certainly not going to let MB off the hook, but really, execution was still a big factor in this game being so tight.
In the 1st quarter alone there were two series in a row where the ball is very close to receptions and moving the ball downfield. 
Close plays involving a ball being one foot inside allowing the defender to get there, and stopping momentum.
The overthrow by Willy inside the Montreal 40….interception.
Chip Cox making a play on a ball for Watson to kill a drive..
Two rushes by Cotton for 4 yds.
3rd down gamble…the idea was awesome…the execution, not so much.
Willy to Moore to the Montreal 20…fumble, drive killed before it started.
 
None of this is on MB
Willy didn't throw the ball very much, but it was more of a result of good coverage and a couple of drops that killed drives.
 
TOP Montreal 35 Winnipeg 25
 
I agree that we need to disguise more to give our running game a chance but aside from a few mistakes from our rookie QB…who is continuing to learn, I can't put very much blame on our OC…especially since we are moving the ball downfield and scoring.

Hamilton 2014 = Blue Bombers 2012. At least Lapo was somewhat likeable as a coach. I still think he shouldn't have been fired.

Serious home field advantage on second last play. 5 seconds left on the TSN game clock.
Ball is snapped, 2.74 seconds go by before the game clock is started. Troy Smith has just released the ball when the clock actually starts.
Play ends with 1 second left on clock. Should have been game over. Thankfully Stala wasn't very sticky.

Golly, never heard of that happening in Montreal, before....or for that matter, BC......

Etienne can't play in the CFL. He's proven that every year he was in the league. Now, you want a guy brought back who should  be playing senior men's to back up a receiver position? Etienne had his chance & couldn't do it with 2 teams. No thanks.

OMG, you serious?? Let it go, the draft bust isn't coming back. With the receiving situation in Saskatchewan in turmoil, Etienne couldn't make their team & hasn't been brought back since Getzlaff has been out.

Talk of BC's demise was a as premature as talk that the Riders would be fine without Sheets and Dressler.  
 
I'm amazed how good Calgary looks even without Cornish, Lewis and Price.  Top team in the league IMHO.

The score would have been much more lopsided if Glenn had time to get things done in the redzone this is were their weak O-Line really exposes itself.  By far BC's top asset on offence is it's 2 RB set with both Logan and Harris firing on both cylinders the fireworks are spectacular.  Wish the Bombers would give this a try with any combination of the 3 RBs they have right now.  Seems like a very good strategy to employ when facing a strong pass rush.

Exiling players gets you fired. Chamblin needs to put his ego aside.
 
If Charles didn't produce much, fine, bench him - but you're talking about a guy who had 86 yards in a half.
 
There is no trust, and it will break them if they don't figure it out.

Hunger makes cowards of us all . . .

Bombers made a move that Mack/Burke would have been too chickenshit to make... favoring QB protection over starting a 3rd NI on D.  And a Cordaro Howard that we could have easily cut, but kept around, will make a huge difference, giving Willy time to operate against a great MTL front 7. 
 
Bombers 29 - Montreal 24, in a game that somehow will be close.

Maybe he's here to secretly kidnap O'Shea right before the game starts, then Banks himself takes over as head coach with a goal of sabotaging the Bombers. Bryant Turner's new son shows up and kicks the crap out of Banks and coaches the team to victory. Just a rumor I heard on twitter...
