I'm getting tired of these threads, but it'll be another interesting week on the Drew Willy injury watch.  Is this the week he actually misses?  Does Drew have 9 lives? 

 

On the post game show, coach O'Shea said he has no updates and Willy will be evaluated this week.  That tells me it might not be serious, but I'm just guessing. 

 

TSN1290 suggesting it might just be a hyperextended knee.  That could mean he could play this week, or could be out a few weeks.  Upcoming bye week after playing the Argos this Friday, could be really good timing.   

Really sucks, but what can you do? That's sports. I feel bad for ol Wade trying to sell GC tix now. Ha ha.

I dunno, I plan to party all week regardless.

On the plus side, check out Oregon's new jersey's (not an attempt to derail .. just adding a bit of levity):

 

 

What are you trying to do to me? First Drew Willy gets hurt now you wanna rag on Oregon's jerseys?

 

I've just about had it with today!

Us too...but good luck to Wade trying to sell tix to a cold weather game, to fair weather fans when their team's not in it. Gonna be ugly...

Well, at least we attempted to upgrade the OL.......can't say the same for the coaching staff. Hope the people who rag on Willy, enjoy the new era.......

Would you change Wylie out?

Hey I like the jersey's .. posted knowing you were an Oregon fan.

The problem here is Marcel Bellefeuille. Blame is right on him for this.

 

i would place 70% of the blame on him. 20  on the line. 10 on willy. If you wanna really parse the numbers down lol

I don't blame O'Shea for leaving Willy in.

 

 

How long has it been since we had a franchise quarterback? how hard is it to get one? How important is Willy to the team?

 

I blame O'Shea for letting his franchise quarterback get the sh** pounded out of him two years in a row, and doing nothing effective about it.

 

He's the head coach. That means he's responsible for everything that happens on on the field. No excuses.

 

If he can't do whatever is necessary to protect the franchise quarterback from being put out of the game, whatever that takes, including firing somebody…

 

Then he shouldn't be a head coach. 

Reading up on a tibial plateau fracture. Willy is done for the season.

Pull a QB at the half? Who does that? No one.

Believe it or not the game was still on the line after we scored...with Drew Willy. 31-8

Then we did provide 2 more opportunities when we turned the ball over twice. We failed to score, but you have to understand that it could have been 31-22 or 31-24...with Drew Willy in the game.

What happened to Drew Willy was a freak jump-land-weird thing that could have happened at any time...like the start of the next game.

I guess by that logic, Austin is an idiot for starting Collaros in the 2nd half.

That's his offensive line, he's the one who implements blocking and running schemes. Last year Morley and January got ragged on all year so they brought in new and supposed better players and the line is no better. Wylie has been here almost 2 years and the line is no better.

too pissed off to post anymore

Yeah, I hear ya. I vented a couple of pages back. It is so frustrating.

Austin keeping Collaros in for the entire game was idiotic. he certainly took a huge risk. Next time Austin may not be so lucky.

Interesting how people constantly ragged on Pat DelMonaco when he was the o line coach. He goes to Calgary and they just win and plug and play when they have injuries. Good players make coaches look good bad players just get coaches fired.

When Bill Belichek was in Cleveland he was a dumb coach. His IQ certainly improved in New England.

Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, and Saskatchewan all are playing with 2nd and 3rd string qb's. so the world has not come to an end. Who knows maybe the Bombers get lucky and find a qb with NFL  cuts coming in the next few weeks. 

Best hope now is to catch lightning in a bottle with Marve.

Each of those quarterbacks have previous CFL exposure .. expecting an American QB to come in here and make any sort of impact without having previously experienced the league is not in the realm of realistic.

 

(Smith was on the Argos PR last year)

Now we have to address the backup QB position. A position we seemingly hoped would work itself out over time. The best case scenario is that one, or both QBs step up. The likely scenario is that both Brohm and Marve will be gone next year. The playoff position just got pushed further away from our grasp...and somebody's going to have to come to the rescue...or, more of the other team's QBs go down, and we sneak in with B Smith-caliber QBing.

Not a good picture, but at least that damned Marve-Brohm situation will be settled once, and for all.

Surprisingly, I agree with this.

Has MOS even said who's starting yet?  We seem to assume it's Marve....

Bob Irving has been implying it will be Marve. He's right 99.9% of the time.

Knuckles speculating it would be Marve.

The only positive thing out of this whole situation was the Willy injury was a result of a clean hit. The Ti Cat player made no attempt to hurt Drew. It was simply bad luck & the position of his right leg when he was hit. If Willy had gone down because of a dirty hit that would have been even far worse for me to accept as a fan. It doesn't help Willy or make things better but the knowledge it wasn't deliberate is easier to accept, I believe.

Agree BUT with the pounding he takes and two close calls this year there was a sense of inevitability about it.  Still, nothing was done any differently. That's the one thing that I can't get over.
