Don't hold your breath

I was surprised you guys signed him in the first place. Reilly quit throwing to him last year, I think he had simply had it with the drops. I never liked him. Problem with the guys that drop the ball, is you never know when it will be and its often at a really bad time in the game. Even in his best years in Edmonton, he still dropped the ball a lot.

Lulay and Harris are dam good qb's.

I like it too. It will help bring talented players to the league that don't want to have to stay for two years

I think the blind hatred by other teams and their fans is the perfect smoke screen. Hamilton is not the kind of team that can afford to be chirping too much. You keep chirping all you want. You are so much better than us, we will be a easy win for you guys

You know why. They expected to win last game and lost because of our defense. Made little or no changes because they thought we got lucky. We shut them down again. It was a trap game for them but they weren't smart enough to see it.

My point on that was it could have been happening when he was with your team, we don't know what people are doing when they are not at work. Once its out in the open its a different situation. I get it that players have had issues in their personal life. No one is perfect and I am far from it myself. Judge not, yeast thee be judged. Sexual assault and domestic violence are two things I just can't get past however. Ottawa is doing the right thing here. I am all for second chances in life, sometimes we all need one. When you have a very public job like playing professional football however, you have to be held to a higher standard I think. Its probably not fair but when children at idolizing these players, I think they have some responsibility to not be rapists and wife beaters. I am not defending some of the players that have been signed to my team. Every situation is different and they need to be looked at on a individual basis.

Sherman played on your team for 4 years

Bang on. If he is found not guilty and cleared, I'm sure the league will reinstate him to be signed by whomever.

He is charged with 2 counts of sexual assault. It may not look good enough to be worth giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure that was weighed in. In principal, I agree with you, innocent till proven guilty.

I watched the game, did you?

Manny looks old and slow. There's the Money for Bighill right there. Grabbing Bighill was a hell of a good move for you guys. He is a great player and a warrior

You sure. Sammy is already familiar with your defense

We have 8 just by ourselves, LOL

Not quite that simple as just tossing it up to the receivers. Look at our receivers and how we are still struggling on offense. Montreal will lose the game, but it won't be a blowout. They will bring pressure at Arbuckle, he isn't going to scare anyone. I could see him dishing up some INT's. He isn't going to command the respect that BLM does from the opposition. Calgary is going to have to run the ball. We will see how awesome their Oline is when everyone knows its a run play. I'm looking forward to this game

Our receivers are a big upgrade over yours in case you didn't see Bowman and Dressler not getting open and Adams and Demski dropping passes last week. I'll also take Bighill from defense, he is a slight upgrade from Hurl

We will see how good they look with Arbuckle at the helm. Sounds like BLM will not be playing

We could make a great team between our two rosters

With the way your defense is playing, I'd be more worried about your game with Toronto.

I agree. I'm afraid the next injury will be the last one for him. I hope he can stay healthy though. Makes our league better when the best players are on the field

Easy to say but the hardest thing in the world to do. I try to follow this advice myself, it does get easier as you get older to stay calm. As a outsider looking in, really hard to beat anyone 2 games in a row and Nichols wasn't near good enough. It not a crisis, its just one game.

No sugar coating it. Nichols was bad. Throwing into double coverage. He looked scared to get hit, he was just throwing up hail Mary's. Lulay stood in there and took the hits and made the plays he needed to

I work the oil patch.

That too sometimes

It gets dam hot down here in the SE in the summer
