Time to get the regular season underway...

 

Oh god not this again. 

Just saying, some people can watch and follow football obsessively for the better part of their lives and form a decently educated opinion on the subject in question..

A good bunch of us were around the game at an above rudimentary level, or were taught the game by people who were. 

The point that “we’re just fans” has been made. Every time I read it on here again, I’m writing another poem about Kolo. 

 

If professional coaches never made mistakes they'd have way better job security than they do.

I read this and the other forum and I for the most part appreciate the discussions on both boards but in reality these guys are just anonymous "keyboard warriors" (well, I guess Mike uses his real name first name) like the rest of us. Have they been there, done that? Maybe, maybe not. 

Then you either haven't been here long enough or aren't paying attention.  They might be anonymous to you but not to many others here.

Other forum? Sorry, I'm just a part of this one.

The Extra Point, forum offshoot of the official Bomber site. 
It’s like here with more generic homers, far less grammar and writing skill.

In the last 20 years, this ^ is the closest feeling team I can remember to this years Bombers. Again, I want to be wrong, big time.

On a more positive note, looking forward to seeing what Wheatfall does on Friday. Also hoping we see Smith as a returner.

The difference between people who know how to watch a game to understand what’s happening, and regular viewing is gigantic. Most people try to follow the ball and miss 90% of the play. Even if you know the X’s and O’s, relative position play etc if you’ve never been taught how to watch film you see a different game. 
 
On top of that you have things like understanding positions from a competitive stand point. This is where observations like tipping plays, kick stepping too far too fast etc come in. 
 You also have understanding from the x/o level you get the difference between Dbs coming over to try and make up plays vs being beaten. 
 

Football has the most strategic nuance of any main stream sport. A little bit of knowledge goes soo far. Guys like mike booch jbr and a couple others clearly have high level understanding of these various areas. 
 Some people don’t like what they hear because it doesn’t match what they see and they can’t counter the points on merit so they attack the posters. And when I see posters attacking those people it just tells me all I need to know about those posters. 
 They love the bandy about not a real fans, or hot hand fallacy etc. as if what happened here 4 and 5 years ago is more important than what we see on the field today.

Wheatfall sure looked like a beast in a few catches last week. If Schoen is healthy he should have a good chance to shine.

x2. I think Lord Keric is gonna be a forum favourite. 

I’m intrigued to see Adams and Woods on the field at the same time too. 

 

Are fans even sober watching games lol. Some of those CJOB callers aren’t.

I don’t disagree with some of their actual points about lineup decisions. Although blaming Thomas, Kramdi and Gauthier for everything is getting old.

Mostly I find it funny that two guys off the street literally say they could run the CFL club better. Who wants “Booch” and Mike in charge of anything?

Shows how much you know, I personally think Kramdi is way better than “Booch” gives him credit for.

My personal crutch is blaming Bighill for everything.

 

HE STINKS!

Actually, that’s not a bad guess Salt N Peppa had a writers vocabulary.

If nothing else, @Atomic gave him the best nickname this community has produced since Kamau Incompleterson

Perfectly fine to voice your opinion as a fan. But the arrogance of two dudes named “Booch” and “Mike” on these boards is hilarious. 
bombers have some real problems, O’Shea has some real flaws. They’ve also won two grey cups and four straight west titles, unlike two dudes named “Booch” and “Mike”.

Not exactly true bro. Perhaps they didn’t have a @Boochbut they certainly got a @Mike

you know O’Shea.

I thought I had a winner with McCheese last year

In the end pro sports is all about bigger stronger faster younger more hungrier athletes. Every sport. Except golf. Even then tho the younger guys dominate
