don't think the weather will be as bad as they say... very small chance of rain, which probably means it pours but yeah... apparently not much of a chance.

I'm not sure how much of a role the run game will play tonight, on both sides of the ball.

MOAB makes some pretty crazy trade proposals.. Swiston for Westerman, Suber for Tim Brown... or whatever now this one? Yeah, i don't see that being very likely or realistic at all.. Besides if the riders are trying to win now, they would probably just trade their pick to Montreal, or a pick of some kind Heck, maybe it's taj smith plus a pick to Montreal for SJ Green. Think that's more realistic than some of the other proposals.

I think outside of a qb, montreal is a good team, however with that being said, they are also a veteran team, They aren't getting any younger... They are almost like the San Jose Sharks of the NHL, veteran team who has a small window to win still, but soon will have to go through a rebuild. Only difference with the Sharks is montreal has won a couple cups the last few years, but.... older team starting to show some signs of their age IMO.

Dressler will probably go to the highest bidder, Will that be the riders? I hope not.. Honestly, I hope it's the bombers, LOL even though i doubt they have any interest in him.. Signing here would make sense though, close to his home in North Dakota and all of that... Wouldn't shock me, who do you sit though, who knows, maybe you move out watson and only start one canadian receiver and play another canadian elsewhere? We are starting 8 canadians right now, we don't need too.

Well, regardless of my thoughts on the petition, it's pretty damn telling when the bombers are giving people 30$ off coupons towards the purchase of the new jersey if you bring a tin of food to the game. Tells you all you really need to know about what they think about the jersey. Also the fact that there is literally barely any mention of it on the main site is telling too, It's almost like the bombers are completely ignoring it and are only wearing it cuz they are being told too, that's pretty obvious actually but... I guarantee with the lack of marketing for it, the lack of just really, the ignoring it on the main site, my guess, we see it once and then it's forgotten quickly, Bombers probably don't want people to remember it even. It's pretty obvious that they are not too happy with it. You got the ALS ice bucket challenge video up, the press conferences, but barely any mention of the "jersey".

Tonight might be one of those kind of boring games due to the possibility of some severe weather in the area. The weather may play a significant role, especially if it's anything like last nights rain.

Okay. So you think there's no point. And plenty of others do. What's the point in arguing about it? We get your point. I feel like a fan petition to change a jersey but have more viability than a petition to the "aquarium people" to make them build an aquarium in Winnipeg. that aquarium petition had over 100,000 names. This petition might have 100.

Thanks for filling me in on Stoudermire... who knew. Apparently, you didn't.

Tackling comes down to technique more so than talent i think, Sure talent plays a role but one of our best tacklers the last few seasons has been alex suber and he was the smallest guy on the field.. I've seen monsters getting run over, i've seen little guys ran over also... It don't really matter how big you are, it's all about technique. The problem with the tackling a few games this year is instead of trying to just wrap the guy up, our guys would try to knock him out, go for the big hit and bounce off the guy, you go a bit lower on the guy and that guy will go down, our guys biggest issue is always trying to go too high, wrap the ball carrier up properly and he will go down. Don't matter how big or small you are. Technique is way more important than size.

No need to dress woods as stoudemire is mr versatility, he might be listed as a db and his primary role might be kick return/punt returns but.. he will be involved in the offence for sure, receiver or as a rb, he's more versatile than woods so no need to dress woods, no need to dress Romby because how many backup receivers do you need really JFG,Carter and "stoudemire" is more than enough.

so the 2 man will be bryant and hinse i guess?

If the petition is to use the royal blues instead of these ones, better hurry, the game is on friday.. LOL.. if it's to wear the royal blues permanently, why bother.. It's not gonna happen. If its the former and not the later, i'd sign it. But if it's a petition to make them wear them all the time, There truly is no point.

it depends which gun you are using but cops aren't using sniper rifles, they are using hand guns, hand guns are not easy to aim with at all. I'd suggest that anyone who thinks it's easy to hit a moving target with a hand gun, go get you one of those clay pigeon machines and a couple hand guns, bring some rifles too, go set it up outside the city, in the country somewhere, preferably on a lot you own outside the city and see what happens.. Try it with the rifles first? not so hard actually but if you never done it before, You might hit one,, try it with the hand gun then, you won't hit any. The only thing you might hit is your ass on the ground cuz them hand guns have quite the kick to them when they go off Anyway though.. Just a comment, why are all the "witnesses" who claim that the cop basically "executed" this brown fella, why do their stories all seem like such BS? Yeah i dunno they say, i only saw this part.. the part where he got shot, i didn't see the stuff happening prior, i was looking out my window.. BS you were, Where were you a few days ago? Seriously... I dunno what it's like down there in Ferguson, just outside of St Louis but... i'm getting the impression that the black people don't particularly care for cops or more than likely, don't care for any white person with some power. It's kind of like reverse racism going on, most people think white people are racist towards blacks but i think this is a case of a majority black town being racist against whites.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. LOL seriously bro? It's a football jersey... nobody is changing the world because they want a royal blue football jersey used, which they will be later in the year anyway.

I'm sorry about your aquarium, but your story does not render all petitions useless. It's a piece of clothing. maybe the 300 of you can make a difference tho. Good luck with that.

Where do i sign up for the petition for the piece of clothing the football team wears? Seriously, love the royal blues but a petition for them? I'd sign it but reality is, it's for a piece of clothing, it wouldn't make a difference.

I guess, why not give pall a look, bring him in, it can't hurt can it? Yeah he may not have looked good during stamps camp and hasn't done much , if anything since then with the als.. but... sometimes a change of scenery and a new lease on your football life can help, I'd bring him in for a look, a few weeks on the PR... what harm does it do? Not many Canadian DL out there actually.. We aren't exactly loaded with canadian depth, can pretend we are but we aren't, let's say jake thomas goes down... YUP. I'd bring him in for a look.

If you go back in history and look at the original colours of the rugby team from which the blue bombers formed, there colors were green and white. YUP. So that green jersey on twitter actually pays homage to our history as the rugby clubs colours were green and white for a long time.

The Als defence is not the issue, they are actually very very good. It's the offence that's been the problem.

Hoyer named the starter today.

If you read Mike's reply to my post (on page 9 I think) and read between the lines....it sounds like someone may have already been fired over these abominations. So Wade Miller fired Jeff Bannon because he approved these ugly jerseys? sounds like it's possible, seems unlikely it was just over a jersey though.

At least it has the stamps colours on it.

This makes me wonder how the folks at the top really feel about the jersey. It almost seems like they hate them but are making the most of it. Pure speculation but I wonder whether the departure of Jeffrey had anything to do with this. Just saying, no idea but i highly doubt bannon left just cuz of a jersey they will be wearing once or maximum twice. That seems pretty crazy, he probably got a better offer else for more money. If he left because of a jersey they are wearing once maybe twice, that seems silly.

Well, this topic has been beaten to death lol. It is what it is. I will say though if you won't watch the game because of the jersey they are wearing, that seems a bit silly actually... Sometimes, i think it's best to remember that 5 or 6 or even 100 people don't really make a difference in the big picture. Hell even 1000 don't make a huge difference. Gotta remember that the folks that post on these forums, we are indeed the minority. As much as it kills me to say it, yup, this is the minority on these forums, sure it might be the "hardcore" fans and being hardcore fans probably means that it will be difficult to accept change. But, with that being said, for a jersey that will only be worn once, maybe twice at most, but my guess is only once, It's a lot of complaining really for nothing. Don't like the jersey? that's fine, nobody really does, ok a few people do but really... that's fine, people can like it or dislike it all they want, who really cares actually.. but saying you are being forced to watch them play in these is a crock of crap for sure, Nobody is forcing you to watch, if you don't want to watch cuz of the jersey, so be it, don't watch... they will be back to wearing their normal ones next week. And as much as it kills me to say this here, guess what.. 13 pages of people talking about the bombers new jersey and the other teams new jerseys, people are talking and really, that's all that the people at reebok care about.. It's getting people talking. Say what you will about the jersey, like it? great. Don't like it? That's great too but can't deny the fact that one thing it has done is get people talking about it. Mission Accomplished for Reebok.
