Yes I’m aware, but I wonder if he’ll honour his deal. Very strange to re sign three other quarterbacks the day the season ends unless they’re completely content on those four being in Montreal next season. I certainly wouldn’t be. The QB play left a lot to be desired. 

They can sign 20 QBs if they want as there is no cost for cutting them:). 

Ahhh just remembering how lucky we were when Mack managed to lock down goltz, brink and Elliott in 2012 offseason or whatever it was... and we got goltz for only$150k - what a steal

Wow, that’s a lot of starters they’re resting..

For the Bombers the equivalent would be: Nichols, Harris, Adams, Wolitarsky, Bryant and Dressler.

Ottawa will only win by 20 now

I think that Harris will play long enough to get the rushing crown and then have an extended ride on his stationary bike. 

I expect Nichols to start and play for a half.  During that time, the playcalling should be conservative with heavy emphasis on getting the ball out of his hands quickly.

Dressler might not make the plane ride.

Other than that, I expect everyone else to play normally, unless they have an injury that needs the week off to heal or protect.

For Harris that should only be one play, two at the most.  He only needs 8 yards for the lead...

Powell will finish with 1362 yards and Harris is currently at 1355.

Sounds like that's probably the plan.

 

A bit of a surprise for me..

 

Surprised too. Wonder if the City Council is expecting the province to put up most of the $?

Virtually the same as 2017.  Matthews is a waste of time. 

Willie Jefferson:

“The year I’m having, I hope I did enough to put my name in the hat to get to win it.”

Humble to a fault...(except for the humble part.)

Its a federal election looming, so expect the parties to be offering wads of cash which may or may not materialize.

Feds usually don't put up $ for this stuff and Justin and Co don't have the $.

According to 3downnation Eskimo GM Sutherland is already looking around for a replacement for Maas.

Well, IGF was partially built with federal money. As far as Trudeau goes, that guy is a tax grabbing machine and will do whatever he has to in order to bribe or buy votes. I do hope that Halifax can be successful. Historic event if the CFL could get a team there.

15 million that went essentially to the new gym on campus and stuff like that. Agree on JT vote buying but even if you got 25 million from the feds, getting the NS gvt to put up say $100 million or so is a lot.

100 million is a lot of money for any province, including the smallish Nova Scotia provincial budget. The city council decision is a step forward, with huge challenges ahead. If successful with a franchise and new stadium, 8 cities could boast fine facilities. I’d like to wish them luck.

Obligatory "budget will balance itself" comment.

Jefferson is an ass.
