With Matthews no longer a possibility, do we make a move to trade for an established CFL vet? Maybe try to pry Green, Carter or even Brandon London out of Montreal?

Unless you're a Weston Dressler or Chris Matthews type player you almost always start off on the PR.

Didn't Braley nix the sale to MLSE or something?

Seems doubtful at this point. Most teams are set right now. The question is, how long will Matthews wait before coming back to the CFL?

If we elect to keep ham n eggers like Kelly and Romby over Matthews we should probably just bring back Tim Burke. Luckily, Walters likes Matthews and I don't anticipate much of a problem bringing him back unless Ottawa throws crazy money at him.

Seen this coming when Bryan Walters was brought back into the fold. Sucks for Matthews but potentially great for the Bombers. Having him back in the fold for the BC game would be great, hell if he can get into Winnipeg by noon Sunday I'd take him fresh off a plane over Romby. Assuming he re-signs with us of course.

Bryant certainly not the long-term answer to our receiving problem but he's the best journeyman we have right now and still might be capable of delivering a solid outing if Willy drills the ball into his facemask. Moore seemed to get open a lot but his ball-handling abilities are highly suspect. Romby also drops the odd one when he tracks back after gaining 1st down yardage and tries to turn an 11 yd gain into an 8 yd gain. At least Watson, Guardino, Denmark, etc. seem to know how to fall forward and maximize gains. Romby and Moore (particularly Romby) have developed nasty habits of thinking their 4.8 speed legs can out run 4.6 and 4.7 guys with the advantage of closing angles! Moore has like 2 fumbles all season, 1 we recovered, Why no mention of all the big catches he's made? He fumbled again deep in Rider territory last week. Not to mention he's lost at least two fumbles deep in enemy territory immediately after turnovers at home. There's no question that Moore needs to protect the ball better.

For all the criticism he's getting, we don't even know if we have a back up QB who's better than Elliot.

Regarding Matthews he's not out of the woods yet. The Seahawks made the move to bring back Bryan Walters to return kicks which means they cut Phil Bates who could conceivably take Matthews spot on the PR.

Man having Matthews come back would of been nice. This is going to be a tough one without Moore and Wild but we really can't afford to lose.

If we lose Moore and Neufeld still not good to go... I hope they start Feoli-Gudino instead of Bryant to at least give us some ratio flexibility. That will enable us to add Cotton as the 2nd Imp RB or perhaps Bolton. I agree completely. I think the roster spot could be used a little more efficiently than adding Cotton to the roster, but there's no reason for Bryant to play over JFG.

Got quite the hill to climb to stay alive... Sticking with Cornish.

Was there any update on Nick Moore? Losing him as well as Wild would be extremely bad.

I'm not personally familiar with Gibson, but we have a weakness on the Dline, the Argos have a weakness in the secondary plus Suber gets a chance to get on the field. Seems like a win for all involved.

Would he even be an upgrade over Hinse or Swiston? Doubtful.

I guess we know why Ottawa signed Elliot and not Hall.

If the Bombers would have gone for it and got stuffed people would be screaming for his head. It was a full yard which is far from a gimme. I prefer to play to win rather than not to lose.

I was just thinking last night that I can't fathom Brink still being employed while Elliot isn't. Maybe we'll see him start a few games this year.

Trying to hold a lead that's a field goal or less in the CFL is almost impossible. I like to put trust in my defense too, but it can't be in a situation where if they give up a field goal you lose.

I'm not sure if people really want Kromah in the lineup or Kuale out. Probably a combination of both, but I'm leaning towards Kuale out.

Now it's not all on him, but to me it seems like Jarvis Jones did a hell of a lot of good things for the line today... how the hell has he been off the roster the entire time? Especially considering how bad Howard has been.

O'Shea and Kuale are dating so Kuale likely starts again next week. Kuale must of gotten himself some good locker room photos of O'Shea in Toronto to get himself a job here.

Ricky Foley is one of my most hated players in the league. I wish no success upon him whatsoever.

I'm not sure where the Matthews hate comes from. He was injured the majority of the last year, he didn't quit on the team because Kyle Walters wouldn't of had any interest in re-signing him if he had. He'd be a significant upgrade over Kelly.

I don't understand how he's still employed.
