deflated balls

They already have their long term starter in place and now have themselves a back-up with some potential so why on earth would they trade for Ray? Stay the course with Willy and Marve while continuing to try and build a strong o-line. Ray wouldn't last a month behind the crap that the Bombers have fielded over the last few years (couldn't even stay healthy behind a much better group in Toronto)..

If he was a Bomber and reacted this way to not playing, you guys would be all over him for not being a good team player with a bad attitude........

Took a while to get rid of players like Simmons and now you want to bring another one into the fold? Hope he signs elsewhere.......

I'd take Veltung in a heartbeat. I've seen enough of the poor decision making and east-west returns......

Definitely missed having Adams and Veltung out there tonight, especially with Willy out.

Pretty obvious that Marve is now the back-up after Brohm's terrible performance versus Hamilton. It was even reported somewhere in the media (don't remember where though) that Marve was taking the back-up reps in practice and Brohm was working with the short yardage unit. It was only a matter of time......

Argos sure can develop QB's; wish the Bombers could do the same.
 
Just imagine if they could work with Brohm for a while........oh, who am I kidding, he'd still stink!

If Brohm starts this week, the Al's defense is going to have a really fun night.....

From your lips to God's ears.......

I'd settle for a "thank-you"!

First and ten from their own 5 yard line and drove the ball all the way down the field to run out the clock against the Als defense..........well done RedBlacks!

Who's saying Marve doesn't have things to work on? All people are suggesting is that he should be getting the nod over a player like Brohm who show's absolutely no ability to move the team (one td drive in all the opportunities he's had) if/when Willy gets injured or has trouble in a particular game.  

None of the teams linebackers are good enough to be starting in this league. Sad situation really.

Losing a pre-season game doesn't matter at all. The fact that so many starters were manhandled by back-ups, at home no less, should be a concern. Not the way they wanted to enter the season, that's for sure.

If the Bombers ever had to come from behind, could you even imagine Brohm leading them to a touchdown, never mind a victory? At least with Marve they'd have a shot at a comeback and likely be very entertaining in the process.

Maybe the only bright spot to emerge from tonight's game (again). How he's not already the back-up to Willy is beyond comprehension.

This speculation about Marve and the NFL is crazy.
In that Weicek article, much of the extreme terms were not quotes from Marve, but allusions from Weicek. Essentially, he says he wants to play, and if he's still #3 after this year, he may have to look elsewhere to do so. He would love to stay in Winnipeg, but doesn't want to hold the clipboard behind 2 guys for a 3rd straight year. Understandable for anyone who believes they've got the goods.
In the recent quote, he flat-out denies the NFL rumours and says he loves Winnipeg. He basically says the same thing as before -- that he'd love to find a way for him to stay here for a long time. Of course, that "way" would be him as a 2nd string or starter.
Do we honestly want to laud players who are happy being down on the depth chart and don't want to get better and contribute to the team in a meaningful way? Are people suggesting he be cut *this* year because he doesn't want to spend *next* year staying in the #3 QB position?
Continual, late night head shakings going on here. My God!

You need a decent push up front to run the sneak properly; that was the main problem last year.
