Bombers @ Als: The Game Day Thread
Possibly is very charitable I think. Keeping up with the not Jones's is what you meant.

This is one reason why CFL is interesting to me. You have big restrictions with the ratio and the cap. Its not like you can just get the best guy available.

Glad to be here
Welcome. I think you meant to post in the intro thread but you will find we are all very accepting of mistakes and wrongheadedness here. /S

Flying High into Montréal: Bombers vs. Als
I think the bombers where not up to standard in the mental department for the Calgary game. Not the same team at all. No team is immune from complacency or tightness. I think tightness was the cause of the bad game with Calgary not complacency of course.

bc thumped by SASKATCHEWAN
Burnham definitely makes Jennings look better but a couple of those throws should have been out of bounds or further down field. Not smart at all. I admit I never saw the game only highlights. PVR'd it but accidentally saw the score and thought organizing the garage would be more entertaining. If Riders were on the other side I might have poured myself into the couch.

You mean send the "Why are you so dirty?" Chung at them.

If Jones said that Adams is now the future I am sure the majority would say "yes Jim, I mean yes Chris. Your defensive genius is only matched by your ability to find the hidden gems."

Did Wally just leave Harris on the side of the road? Harris seems like he has a lot game left. In fact I can't remember a game where I have thought that guy is just about done. He seems to be a good sideline guy too.

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
The whole being on the board after being being dead for over 2 years is even more impressive. Most of the dead guys I know just stink.

Testing Our Mettle: Eskies Coming Here
Control Reilly? You make it seem like that is easy. The man is slippery. He has psychological powers. Do you think he wears those hats because he likes them? It is all calculated. When the DE breaks away from the third string tackle, he sees Reilly and suddenly he forgets to contain because he is thinking how a paper boy cap looks better than the bowler but the bowler does make his nose look smaller. Then boom Reilly has slipped by and has picked up the first down.

When you asked if he wanted the warranty did he tell you he would handle it internally?

Oh yes I remember this. I threw up in my mouth when I heard this the first time. sorry for repeating this but I took my wife to her first game at this time and she comes from a different country where a football is round. She asked me why our team had its thrower so close to the pushers when the other team's thrower had room to react, run or throw.

Addison Richards Retires
This is true. The value of a player is dependant on how they finish their career. Retirement or injury give zero return but otherwise this is some residual value. My preference of Walters over Mack is not just based on current who is in the seat status but also on the evident strategy. Having 3 Canadians in the main management positions proves what we always say. Any CFL team is as good as your National depth. Building the team inside out is great because that is where useful National talent usually found. I have to close as always I am speaking only as an uneducated fan but one who has been following since Jay Washington was scooting.

THE MORNING AFTER...WITH COFFEE
That may have been in the past but look at today's receivers and DB's and you can definitely see a body type bias. Compare Adams and Heath: long fast receivers and smaller quicker defensive backs. My humble opinion is that mental differences contribute as well. I feel like DB's have to be mentally tougher as they can be targeted by a receiver, QB and OC. Keep in mind I have no football experience past tiny high school in the 1970's so I have no real idea of what I am talking about.

I think the dusty old ball should look at the sparkly array of shirts that MOS wears. The entire catalogue is on display if you follow pressers, interviews and games. Mike Benevides always wore a jersey that was loose and dark that looked like he just finished mopping the dressing room with it but he did get fired didn't he?
