  1. I don't think they should call the search off, they need to know what happened so it doesn't happen in the future, the famillies deserve to know the answers, the truth, not bs baseless rumours and made up crap like we are and have been getting. I dunno anybody who honestly thought they would find a plane in 4 months, hell that air france flight they knew where it went down roughly and it took them a year to get it, this ones gonna be a while. It's a big mystery, You don't give up after 4 months. You can't give up even.
  2. Have no issue with players celebrating after a big tsn turning point type of play which demonds fumble return was. "interception". That was a big play, celebrate away, this isn't the NFL, guys can celebrate all they want. Happened after a pick by Willy, was a huge play in the game, argos had some momentum, bombers took it away. Differences? I'd say just having the confidence to go for it at times, we haven't seen that in a while here, the in game coaching, o'shea talking to woods after the return, to me it did look like the ball didn't end up in the endzone but i dunno, but still o'shea coached woods up afterwards. Didn't see that in a while, saw coaches screaming at players lots last season though. It was just one game but you know what, we needed that one game.. gives us something to be happy about, to be positive, sure some will point out negatives, honestly never will understand people who point out the negatives after a HUGE win that nobody NOBODY expected us to win. Seriously, be the first to admit, i thought the score might be the other way around.. argos 45 bombers 21. I was wrong and am glad i was. Can nitpick about stupid things all we want but you know what... Screw it, we won and it was exciting and it gives us all something to be happy about and be positive about. No need for negativity after a game like that. most points we scored in a half last season 14. Tonight 24. Most points scored last year was like 38, tonight 45. Things weren't perfect, some issues on special teams for sure... but you know what... overall, it was what the team, hell, it was what this city needed.
  3. tough to bring down too, at times he pushed the pile to gain extra yards. Also have to mention, liked how near the end, the bombers players were staying in bounds to let the clock run down instead of going out of bounds, good coaching there.
  4. Everyday of the week for me, twice on fridays Need to come to reality, let's look at what the Jets are doing, They are building through the youth, Scheif,Trouba,Morissey,Bogo even. They aren't contenders, for gods sake they finished like last in the division didn't they? And thats with Nashvilles goalie Rinne missing 3/4 of the season. The Jets aren't winning anything any time soon.We have had 3 seasons of the same thing, Scheif draft at 7, (That was Atlantas last season though), next year, Trouba at 9, Year after in a shortened season at that, Morissey at 13, if full season, bet it would have been around 7 or 9 i'll bet.. This year Pick 9. There is a theme there outside of the last draft. What it says is we aren't good enough, we ain't in the top 15, we really aren't even that close, we are in the bottom 10! Consistently in the bottom 10. Buff isn't part of the young core, Wheeler Kane Ladd Little have all re-signed, Bogo,Toby also. Buff has not. There is a reason for this, Buff doesn't want to play forward and here in Winnipeg that's what he will be asked to do, Since it's apparent he don't want to and wants to play D, and we don't need him, We have 2 RD in Trouba and Bogo and not point in Buff on pair 3... He will be moved. Believe it. When this team wins, it won't be soon, Let's maybe not have a pick in the TOP 10 in a non shortened season before we talk about even competing but when they do actually start competing for playoff spots instead of competiting for last in the division with a team whose best player was injured 3/4 of the season, Buff won't be on it. You move him now cuz he's probably at his highest value Now, He actually was probably after 2011 but... You trade him now cuz well, you just do. It's smart to trade guys who aren't part of your future sooner rather than later.. especially guys like Buff, Here the rumour is actually Buff to Philly... If that's the case, Pick 17 and B Schenn coming (just signed a 2 year deal) (buff has 2 left). Change is needed. The jets have shown that they aren't really that good when you take off the Jets goggles, yeah they are fun to watch, it's exciting for sure but you know what... pick 7, pick 9, pick 13 (shortened season) and pick 9 again. It tells us all we really need to know. The current group ain't getting it done. You trade Buff for the future any day of the week because Buff isn't part of our future. He ain't going to be here till he retires. It's not happening. If it's to Florida, Hell... I take that deal and make my pick b4 florida can actually change their mind.. Steal. You could have a very good to excellent player in your system for the next 10 years at the least. Buf ain't gonna be here in 10, probably not even 10 months if the Jets are smart. Hopefully not even 10 more hours.
  5. Gonna say it, that was not what i expected from an ETCH defence. It looked like a normal CFL defence, nothing too silly at all, lots of pressure on Ray all game long, could have probably had 10 sacks, What a performance, did not see this coming at all.
  6. Gotta give the oline some props, gave Willy time and Grigsby ran wild. Willy was outstanding. That first drive was just something of beauty. Great game by Willy.
  7. If the jets wanted Couturier they would have taken him over Scheifele when they had the chance. At 9, I'm thinking Nylander or Kapanen if they are still available.
  8. B Schenn,Read,1st (17th overall) for Kane and Postma.
  9. Winnipeg Poll should be between Edmonton Montreal and Ottawa
  10. If so, Both mack and burke should have been sent to the glue factory a long time ago. You know, At least Mack had a pretty cool name.. say what you will.. JOE MACK.. JOE F'N MACK Tim Burke, bland and boring and just UGGGGG, could see why he sucked as coach though, didn't want to be one in the first place. Guess Joe FN Mack put a gun to his head
  11. Thinking Cornell and Howard. Makes sense. With 6 "Middle Linebackers" listed..
  12. The Canucks probably want Sam Reinhart, He's a local boy and fits the needs of their team. Nucks are going to be in rebuild mode shortly, if they aren't already, probably be trading Kesler (Anaheim). If you look at what the Canucks have in their system, It's not much really.. Horvat and That's it, Shinkaruk is over rated. It's basically Horvat and that's about it. If Vancouver trades up, It's for Reinhart. I think the Winnipeg offer is probably the "stronger' offer Tallon referred too. Not sure what they are offering, but i'd suspect it's better than the Canucks offer If the Jets get the 1st?? Our D is pretty solid and has potential to be good moving forward. Bogo.Toby.Trouba. Morissey. I don't think they go D Centre? Scheif,Little? Is that a legit 1 2 or is it more so 2 3? Don't think we get that number 1 Centre this draft though Left Wing. Ladd,Kane. Could take Bennett if we had the 1st pick, not this year, needs to get stronger but in a couple years, he could make a very good 1st or even 2nd line LW or Centre for that matter, Think if Jets take him, he's playing the wing though Right Wing? Not much depth there outside of Wheeler,Buff (who i think will be moved) and Frolik. No real RW's out there that could go 1st overall, so if they pick 1st, Doubt you see a right wing.. If the Jets stay at 9.. Kasperi Kapanen or Jake Virtanen (if they both fall, they might) would be good choices I feel. Kapanens dad is Sami, PoMo was a fan of Sami, Kasperi is a good 2 way winger/Centre. Be a good fit i think.
  13. SO who sits tomorrow then? Carter and Howard? Cuz that's a 46 man roster there no? 44 only dress.
  14. I didn't watch that game cuz it wasn't on tv, or was it? Wasn't it at Varisty Stadium, so really, not on TSN so i guess only 5000 or so watched it plus some media people. Were you one? The Other question mark is... Wasn't it just a pre-season game?
  15. I've seen it before when i actually used to use Facebook. You can tell whose sit it is by reading the comments on the Bombers Facebook page really. I think a few people from the WFP and WPG SUN comments section.
  16. Dinwiddie has his hands full in Montreal trying to teach Troy Smith how to throw a ball.
  17. Rumour is Florida was wanting Tanev and the 6th for the 1st from VAN so going on that.... Kane and the 9th would do it I'll Bet Buff would too. Maybe something like Buff +9 for 1st. I'd do it if it was Buff + 9 for 1st. You'd be crazy not too. Jets aren't winning this year and to get either Ekblad, Reinhart Bennett or Draisatl would help us longer term. I'm not sure who we'd pick, I'd lean towards Reinhart just cuz this season, he could be our 3rd line centre. I could also see bennett cuz a line in the future of Bennett Scheif Wheeler would probably be outstanding. Ekblad makes no sense at all. We have trouba and Bogo Unless it's bogo and the 9th for the 1st (wouldn't shock me)

    Sports Entertainment really. And i'm not sure how having reporters in the dressing room is considered "entertainment". To who? What do we get? a 40 second clip on the sports show in winnipeg about the bombers? So Entertaining. We will still get interviews with players, just b4 the game. TSN BOMBERS don't exist. The Post-Game show does but i'm sure those guys will still get their interviews. As a fan, all we can do is listen to it, why does it really matter anyway. Just sayin' here man but.. not sure that i find sweaty half naked men being asked stupid question by our media entertaining. I think with our media, i'd rather call it embarrassing.
  19. Let's not write some of these guys off b4 they get a chance Bruce Johnson,Paris Cotton,Mo Leggett... these guys could be very good, saying our scouting is an epic failure because why? couldn't find a 5th receiver and couldn't find a defensive end? that's going a little far. We got us some talent and i'm sure they will turn out to be pretty good. Heck Marve too. It's not like we didn't find anybody.. look around the league, how many rookies are starting on other teams? Probably not many.

    Was said previously in a way but, It's guys like friesen who ruin it for the rest of the media. I don't think they need to be in the locker room, i don't think they need to interview assistant coaches, what would a guy like friesen, who really doesn't even understand what's going on on the field most of the time ask these guys? We wouldn't learn anything from it. Just a waste of time really. Some media are good, irving (is he really considered media though), tait, bauming,penton are all good guys, but its guys like friesen and wicek who piss and moan like they are entitled and they ruin it for the irvings and the good ones around. However, with that being said, perhaps the best thing to do would be to allow certain media members access and to not allow guys like friesen or wicek access. I'm honestly not sure what the point of having multiple "media" there, i mean really does the sun need both penton and friesen in there? does the free press need both wicek and tait? bauming reps TSn radio, bob reps cjob radio. Why do the papers need more than one guy there? I'd ban friesen and take away his credentials, just to piss the guy off a bit more.
  21. I guess it doesn't hurt to workout bryant, i'm sure the scouts are working out guys all the time, We will see what happens when he works out for us, maybe nothing comes of it. Maybe Romby is done, but maybe he has a bit left in the Tank, if he did though, not sure why the argos would release him. He's gotta be a bit banged up still and if he is, i doubt we sign him.
  22. Etch always rotates guys in and out, in and out in and out, almost too much at times from my recollection. So i expect Wild to play as much, if not more than Kuale does.
  23. from all reports i've read, dressler has been impressing the chiefs very much. Haven't heard much but also haven't really looked for much about Matthews.
  24. why would true north want hartnell, that contract is terrible for him. Why wouldn't they touch vanek? guys a proven goal scorer and can play the RW. wheeler vanek frolik down the right looks pretty good. I doubt they would pay him what he wants but wouldn't surprise me if they spoke to him.
  25. Well the other thing is, that rumbling penton was referring to could have just been the rumblings in his head or the thunder that was happening outside about an hour ago.
