That's a little disturbing ..

You win the internetz! Bravo.

Given the choice between sudden change and a punt .. I'll take the punt. I'll also take a quarterback who does what's asked of him by the OC .. it was one of the more damning criticisms leveled against Elliott. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Pierce and I think the offense is wasting the efforts of a championship calibre defense .. but the organization recognized Elliott wasn't the long term solution here .. they moved on .. and are evaluating Goltz and Hall ..

I don't have an issue with Burke's comments or that he expressed his opinion about the incident openly. West's play in practice was stupid. Period. You have to execute with discipline and awareness .. what you do in practice translate directly over to game day. This incident shows a complete lack of both of those qualities. The loss of Watson hurts .. but it hurts us no more than any other year Watson has gone down to injury. We all like to talk about the depth we have, the talented players who just need a chance to show their stuff .. well .. this is it.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have added non-import linebacker Philippe Dubuisson-Lebon to their practice roster. Dubuisson-Lebon (6-2, 221, Sherbrooke, DOB: June 19, 1988 in Montréal, Québec) was released by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats earlier this season after appearing in the team’s week one matchup against Toronto. He joined Hamilton’s practice roster in October of last year following two seasons at Sherbrooke where made 30.5 tackles and 2.5 sacks as a member of the Vert et Or.

Why buck a trend .. I'll go with Sheets.

The difference is that receivers in this system *ARE* getting open. The throws are there. Pierce isn't making them. That's not to say that there aren't issues with what Crowton is trying to do but things would look markedly better if QB1 makes quicker decisions and could hit the broad side of a barn.

And getting beat up in the process wouldn't be a bad thing either ..

Nice to see you posting over here BFFC .. welcome! As for the game .. should be a good one .. always fun and for the most part .. the Saskabush fans who make the trip are pretty decent .. you're in for a great time!

I'd rather a DB interfere with a receiver if they're beat / going down and give the defense a chance to regroup and get off the field than give up an easy 6 points. Simple fact is, the coverage was decent good on that particular play. The unfortunate thing is JJ lost his footing .. but he still managed to prevent a walk-in touchdown by Bruce.

Until teams realized that he was more or less a one trick pony .. then his production fell way off ..

This.

He had ice around his elbow / arm late in the fourth quarter but they'd been looking at the arm for the better part of the game.

Awesome. Thanks for putting this together!

Just a quick question: does your pick have to be different from one week to the next (ie. no reusing picks)? Just curious.

Just wanted to share this .. came across it reading the paper this morning and think fans here would enjoy: http://bcove.me/fut4kg3t

I disagree with this whole heartedly .. our defense showed itself to be quite capable .. held Calvillo to 260 yards passing, a completion percentage of 57% and for the better part of the game, made life miserable for him .. when you consider how often we gave Montreal a short field .. the quick changes .. the special teams TD .. I think our defense acquitted itself quite well .. questions were answered about the strength of our linebackers (or at least the initial indication are that Parker and Dunn should be fine moving forward - only to get better) .. we generated decent pressure .. now it's about consistency.

The truth. People can point to the statistic that says we win games when Buck starts and finishes a game .. but that has more to do with continuity at the position rather than overall performance.

There were reports Buck was limping a bit after the game .. aside from that .. just my liver.

I think Bob, Mitch and Doug nailed it on the post game show last night: the East is going to be a dog fight this year. We demonstrated that we have the talent to compete and the firepower to score in a hurry. Now we just need to be able to develop some consistency.

Bizarre .. I actually had really good cell phone coverage last night .. noticeably better than in the old barn .. how was the live chat in here last night?

Didn't Younger retire? ;-)
