Just thought i'd point this out, The esks are 5-0 vs the east, they are 2-2 vs the west.. Much like the bombers, they are kind of a smoke and mirrors team too, not as good as some think but on the right track to be a good team in the future Bombers record is no better though, 1-3 vs the west, 5-1 vs the east. Every team has had 1 bye week already though, the bombers have not.

Even #randleisland has been invaded a few times this season, no db is perfect, they will all get beat at times. We have a very good defensive backfield. It's not just one guy, it's all of them, if there was one player that could be upgraded back there, its bucknor and even he has played pretty well all things considered. Teams aren't exactly lighting it up passing against us. Tells you our DB'S are pretty darn good.

In all seriousness, I wonder how long he has been doing this for? Wonder if it just started? Does he have problems in his life? Is he having a hard time accepting his football career is over? Marriage issues? It's an unfortunate situation here, hopefully more facts come out as to why he felt the need to be doing this and for how long. If it's been going on a while and he played up here last season, that won't look good on the CFL.

Get the strong feeling that we are going to hear the phrase "not enough evidence to over turn the call" quite a bit from now on. It's the CFL's way of not making the refs look like total morons.

Makes sense. I heard a rumour that Max Hall joined Instagram, Apparently he thought it was instantly going to give him a gram.

Dude was benched and lost his starting job after the first game of the season where Hamilton gave up like 10 or 11 sacks to SASK... how does he help again?

If we had this guy, If we had that guy... IF IF IF,

the east had to win, they were playing each other, this was a crap game and a western team would have destroyed both those teams today. The east ain't getting better, they are the same, they are just playing themselves now. 13-12 crap game.

1-0 at TIM HORTONS FIELD... what an observation by black.

When someone equates me being a bandwagon fan for calling out our coach for a bad call I don't give said person much credit.why was it a bad call? What would you be saying if we went for it on 3rd and a long 1 and got stuffed? that it was a bad call to go for it and we should have kicked the fg? I would have said we deserve to lose. If you can't make a yard in the CFL it's time to make changes. The defence has to line up 1 yard away for Christ sake. yeah so damned if we do, damned if we don't.

wow nice black, AND 50 K FOR RICKY RAY Must have thought of that all by himself... THis is definitely not a labour day classic that's for sure.

Just saying dude, you have 25 posts and those 25 posts are all crapping all over the team and O'shea. What do you expect people to think? The thread title is a joke and immature and just flat out wrong and uninformed. .

Ray has had i'd say about 5 pretty blatant drops... Also the hamilton D showed up to play in the first quarter more specifically but RAY has not been getting any help at all with the drops.

and we should care what you say because........? lol. i dunno, its as if we all signed up for a discussion forum or something. weird hey? for sure but... how many times are you gonna say the same thing? People said in chat that you were going on and on too, i wasn't there and the reason i don't go on chat during a game is because of posters like yourself or roadgriller who try to take over, but there comes a time where it's enough really, discussions are nice, repeating things constantly gets old, the thread title? it's a joke, it has to be, I'll bet you are taking a lot of heat for being a bandwagon jumper.

I'm not sure actually but, the point was, it doesn't matter who the running back or team is, they all run on us, we can't stop the run, teams know this, teams with power running backs like sask and Toronto and Edmonton for that matter have run all game on us and we couldn't stop them.. The book is out on our d, They are actually half decent against the pass, actually a pretty good D but we can't do anything to stop the run, This is a problem and it's an ETCH scheme problem.. Don't matter which players we have out there, it's all about the scheme and the scheme we run, we are vulnerable to the run. Isn't that the book on Etch though? Decent against the pass, terrible against the run? Pretty sure this was the biggest fear some people had when ETCH was hired, he pretty much doesn't care about the run, sets the team up to fail versus the run, the schemes are not designed to stop the run, too much over thinking "mad scientist" stuff, Don't get me wrong though, i think the D has kept us in a few games this year and even won a few games for us too but they are very very very vulnerable vs teams who have bigger running backs. We contained Ford pretty good, we contain running backs like ford pretty good but you put in a guy like Messam or Allen (really just had one run yesterday that went for yards though) or Slaton or a guy like Steele or Thomas in Edmonton and we can't stop them. We are too small and I'm not gonna blame the players for that, It's the D coordinator who puts them in those positions where they are destined to fail.

ray pretty much picked up 90 yards there on that last drive Berman and Saunders were much better than black and forde.

Regarding all the sask cap violations, gotta love it when you are making like 150,000 or more and you get a bunch of free 2-5 $ things. Awesome.

Messam has had 2 good games this entire season, both vs the bombers, i wish people would actually look at the bigger picture and realize that our team is very vulnerable to the run, it's not just messam and the riders that have run on us, it's the entire league. Doesn't matter what team we play, they all run on us.

For a guy with an apparent bad attitude, what a ****** to stick around Winnipeg the entire season when he was hurt when other playerss (chad simpson) went home when they got hurt. Seriously, the hate for matthews is crazy. I don't get it. What a ****** though, sticking around all season when he's injured, being good friends with marcus howell, having a verbal agreement to return to the team if he didn't make the NFL... what a ****** though.

Personally, outside of alex hall, there aren't many game changers out there and even then, he's a question mark. Most these released NFL guys will try to catch on with other teams, there are no quick fixes out there right now... You know what, I'll bet they bring in a couple guys in a bit when the PR expands but other than that, i wouldn't expect much. Like you said, it takes time for guys to learn the CFL and right now, you got guys who have been here all season who haven't been given a chance yet, people talk about bringing in another RB, why not give Bolton a shot? he's been here all season on the PR, let's see what he's got. Gotta give the young guys chances too, football is a young mans game and we are a young team.. Who should we bring in? Hall? I'd be fine with that, Matthews? Nope, he's on the Seattle PR... Like i said though, outside of alex hall, everyone else is a pipe dream, I see people mentioning chris williams but he's ticat property, honestly doubt he goes back there but... i doubt we see him back in the CFL this season anywhere... Other guys who are not familiar of more specifically guys who haven't played in the CFL before, Probably a couple but we won't see them on the active roster right away. Gotta give them a chance to learn the game and the system before throwing them out there in the fire.

oops .

sums it up nicely...

Kids got future star written all over him, we finally got ourselves a QB. This is the attitude that we have been missing the last several years, the warrior mentality, not only from Willy but let's hope the entire team starts taking that approach and IMO, it seems like they have. This kid has been a godsend, people need to remember where we were a year ago on this day, we just got our asses handed to us in a game where our entire team didn't show up, this afternoon i saw a team compete with one of the best teams in the league (i don't think the riders are that good though) but none the less, they never gave up, they were in it right until the end, a bunch of adversity again.. Fraser gets hurt, DLINE has to play a man short , Wild gets hurt, he's our best linebacker BY FAR... special teams stepped up when it mattered again, just like vs montreal... just unfortunate we lost but... man, you know what.. the future is bright and Drew Willy is the reason for it. Willy and O'shea are going to take us to the promise land, probably not this year but... down the road, i feel we got a cup coming our way with these 2 guys here. And you know what DREW, for 3.5 quarters, that "loud crowd" was quiet as a mouse. This is the first game in recent memory that we had in regina where we legitimitely shut the crowd up for most the game.

Stoudemire has some blazing speed, that return was a thing of beauty.
