I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed Patience. Remember this is still just a glorified preseason game. This year more than any the real season won't start until labour day Bigblue204, Tracker, Piggy 1 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Important to get that first game in the win column...sends a message....especially when we're hurting a bit (Andrew and Adams)....Our kicking game could be a bit of a concern considering we're trotting out a newbie and a recent cut BUT should be okay...Can't wait till tomorrow to see how everything shakes down....Could be a few gaffs from both clubs in the opener and this is essentially a preseason but also a 2 pointer..GOBIGBLUE..... keep the Cup memory ALIVE Bigblue204, M.O.A.B. and Mark F 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpants Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Re: the receivers... I'm also slightly underwhelmed by Nelson... but I am looking forward to seeing what Baily can do in an increased role.... Lawler could be a force this year... Demski and Wolly are going to continue doing their thing... overall solid group, but there's always room for improvement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) I know attitude isn't everything, but I absolutely love Bailey if for no other reason than his phenomenal attitude and work ethic.

No meat could ever have been fresher than that one season opener against Hamilton where the Bomber D made Simeon Rottier into a human turnstyle. Now THAT was fun to watch.... 9 hours ago, BBlink said: This year we were always going to start with as many vets as possible, regardless of how good the new guys in camp were. By the end of the season the cream will rise to the top. Good point. The turnover of players during a regular season is huge, something we usually always forget or choose not to remember. A guy on the P/R right now might end up being the Grey Cup MOP. Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Doug Brown was on OB last last and hinted (well,downright said) that Van Zeyl’s absence was due to the “game day flu” a.k.a. afraid to line up against Willie Jefferson again after the Grey Cup domination so opted out. Brown said he has seen it multiple times in his playing days where an unfavourable match-up led to a sudden “injury” and game absence to the lesser combatant.
