    Totally crazy difference.  from fielding guys who were either cast offs or failed draft picks to guys who would start probably on any other team.. with backups who can ball behind them to boot.  to happen over an off season after we struggled so long to land some quality canuck pass catchers.. only in the CFL lol

    We have certainly come a long way in Canadian receiving talent since the days of Aaron Hargreaves.

    studs. randle has better production at the NFL level then a fist full of our prospects in camp had in college. Crazy deep with talent this year. Is it like this for every team i wonder. 

    Reminds me of the Michael Sims-Walker signing back in the day. Hopefully Randle can be just as good but stick around longer than one game!

    Seeing as its a TD, wouldn't they have reviewed the play anyway and found pass interference IF it was actually pass interference? 

    I was referring to the PI call on Hollins at the 57:10 mark of this video: 

    Awful, awful call.

    You can also clearly see Harris' elbow going down ahead of the goal line at the 1:55:30 mark. 

    The refs have been VERY friendly toward the Bombers this year, sorry to break it to ya folks.

    Bullfrog. There is ample evidence already provided on this forum from a TSN technician, stating emphatically, that after several different angle looks, Harris was never seen to be down. 

    If you have been following the game threads, you would have seen that.

    And by the way, how does your opinion that his elbow was down, mean, in any way, that it is an objective opinion?

    Because I have a more objective mind than the rest of you.

    It's not an opinion, it's pretty damn clear. The command centre was too pansy to overturn the call.

    You are wrong about Harris. And are acting like a couple BS calls didnt hurt us either. It went both ways and has in every game this season... PI on Hollins was because after 5 yards you cant touch the receiver and he did.. Harris wasnt down cuz a guy with the ability to zoom in and out... Said so. 

    His elbow didnt hit the ground.. It really didnt... Neither did his knee...

    But talking about BS calls... Guess you missed the 3 or 4 against the bombers also. 

    U gonna go in the BC thread and talk how BC got screwed? Cuz they actuly did on that late PI

    It was a hell of an effort by Harris as he kept his legs churning but the elbow definitely hit the ground ahead of the goal line.

    Hollins didn't even graze Lankford on the play. Just watched the replay a couple times. That really was an awful call.

    And how about this gem after the game from Stefan Logan:

    “I don’t like calling people out … but these refs, man, they gotta get better with this,” Logan told the Canadian Press. “These refs are really blowing these games.

    “We’re playing against 15 people. We’re playing against the other team and the refs, and that ain’t fair. I’m sorry. That ain’t fair.”

    Would you like any cheese with that whine? Good grief. The only call they could have a beef with would be the Nichols shove roughing the passer. I count atleast 3 against us/missed on them. Me smells a fine coming for Mr Logan.

    I wouldn't say that's the only bad call they had go against them. I'd say the PI call on Hollins which led to a touchdown was completely undeserved. The Bombers were so quick to scrimmage after that, Chapdelaine didn't even get the chance to consider a challenge. 

    It's also pretty clear to me Harris went down before reaching the goal line on the last play. His right elbow hit the ground ahead of the goal line while the ball had clearly not broken the plane.

    Is Harris not down once his right elbow touches the ground? Seems to me he might have been an inch or two short of a touchdown. Probably not conclusive enough to overturn the call on the field.

    Genereally speaking however, the refs have been absolutely awful this year and it appears the Bombers have been beneficiaries more often than not. I don't want to complain, but I can't say the wins this year have felt as good as they should have, simply due to the poor officiating.

    Its that the coaching staff appears to have both anointed and sustained Brohm as the #2...despite him accomplishing next to nothing, as a Bomber......that has some of our teeth on edge.   Not some pseudo conspiracy....

    Maybe the rational posters to a degree yes.. But there is ample reasons listed as to why this is..

    I'll reinerate again tho..

    -marve hurt

    -brohm is more experienced

    -brohm is more of a pocket passer

    These are the 3 that stand out to me as why brohm is ahead of marve at this point..

     

     

    - when Marve was not hurt....Marve was outperforming Brohm.

     

    Once again, I'm going to ask the question, when?  When has Marve outperformed Brohm?  In practice?  In preseason?  It's comments like this that make me want to lose it on people.  Practice and preseason mean almost nothing.

     

    Again, I'm not saying Brohm doesn't suck, or that I don't want Marve to play.  I want Marve to play, and I hope he succeeds.  But we haven't seen anything from him to say he is better then Brohm yet.

     

    The rest of your comments I agree with.

     

     

    Last season?

     

    BROHM, B 2014 WPG 39 70 55.7 454 54 0 0 1 1.43

    69.6

    MARVE, R 2014 WPG 11 22 50 140 42 1 4.6 0   85.4

     

    So you're telling me that you can tell by these stats, that Marve outperformed Brohm last season?  Really?  Looks pretty similar to me, other then Marve running a lot more then Brohm.  With this little amount of playing time behind Marve, we can't really judge if he's better then Brohm.  Again, I hope he is if he ever gets to play because I'm tired of watching Brohm.  But you have no proof yet.  Every time I hear people say "WE NEED TO START MARVE, HE'S BETTER THEN BROHM", all I keep hear is the past few years bouncing back..."we need to play Brink, he's better then Buck", "we need to play Elliott, he's better then Brink", "we need to play Goltz, he's better then Buck/Elliott", etc...  And when they got to play what did we hear from the same people who were screaming and yelling to have them play?  "Get rid of Brink/Elliott/Goltz...he sucks!".

     

     

    Brohm is a one-dimensional quarterback who is weak, inaccurate and immobile. You can look at those stats all you want but they don't tell the whole story. Marve played in very unusual situations last year, which makes it tough to draw conclusions from those numbers. As I've mentioned, Marve was able to move the ball just as effectively, if not more effectively than his peers in both of his regular season appearances, which is ultimately what matters. Marve has also looked much better than Brohm in preseason as well as in practice.

     

    Ultimately, Marve has had too few reps to know exactly what he's all about but it is very very very likely that he's a better option than Brohm at this point, who simply does not belong on a professional football field.

    Care to explain how it's cronyism exactly? using facts instead of made up things?

     

    I can't think of another reason why Brohm is given such a long leash.

    But the cronyism? explain what you mean by that... and how it exactly relates to brohm and the bombers? Cuz i don't see it.

    Cuz it's a catchy buzzword that someone else made up. It has no relevance to this situation of course but hey, it sounds cool!

     

     

    I get the impression that Brohm gets along with Bellefeuille and co., and that they don't want to throw him under the bus. There is no other explanation for him being given such a long leash.
