    How many times has it been pointed out that we seem to hang on to 'near-do-wells' for far too long....That's a problem with this coach....Sure the players luv him because as long as he's there they have a guaranteed job....That's not how you build a winner....Hurl has to be gone...we need a Soloaluminium ...a Bighill...a monster in the middle and Hurl ain't it....The defensive co-ordinator has to pack his bags...the game has passed him by...If O'Shea doesn' t want to make changes that will better this club then maybe we should find someone who will....Hell the Riders and Ti-Cats will be in the winners circle before we will at this rate and that is pathetic....Next year country once again guys...and how many times are we prepared to put up with and listen to that bull$hit.
  2. So you wouldn't take a Franklin as backup compared to what we have currently on this club ....I think most of the CFL would disagree but ..whatever....We had Glenn and ditched him....seems to be doing fine as a starter in Sask. ..never mind back-up...AND Bridge has proved he can fill the starters role fairly well.....what we have after witnessing their performances the last two games....not so great...I just hope we don't have to go to the bullpen against the schmoes on Sunday....unless it's a short yardage play by LeFevour.....otherwise.....It's a long offseason.
  3. One thing stands out for me this season....and it may have been present for a few seasons now BUT we don't have enough depth at the most important position on the club....To find out this late, that we have no confidence in the no 2 ,our coaches picked as the go to guy after Nichols ,is really telling..We have no Franklin...hell we don't even have a Bridge or Glenn to fall back on...IF Dan LeFevour has to go on Sun. and carry this team in the semi final ,then I know we have fallen short...Someone in our coaching ranks and or management is going to have to wear that if our season ends Sunday...I hope Matt can start and that we don't have to lay the ending of the season on Dan...that would not be kosher and someone higher up should be answerable...Expect the worst and hope for the best I guess.
  4. Jones looked like a frozen road apple watching Riley dismantle them....So many of their fans were prepping for the trip here ,although I don't know why, because we would have done the same thing to the green guys... Guess they'll take their act back east and most likely be one and done in Ottawa...Bridge and Glenn looked like they both were nic'd in that one....Looks like their season is drawing to a close and setting slowly in the east..
  5. Hypothermia must have set in at the stumps bench....they sure looked like they didn't want to be there....Us on the other hand seemed to relish in it...especially big Okpalaugo and Jeffcoat.........great game by those two.... Shout out to Nevis as well...best he's played all year...And what can you say about Andrew....he ground out a ground game in that slippery stuff and watched his counterpart on the stamps slip ..slip...slide away and was totally ineffective...Harris deserved that record..especially in those conditions....Have to turn our attention to the Sask./Edm. game now ,to see who wants to face us or go chicken and head east....Like very much how we played that one....now can we string together 3 more....Man that would be nice and a long time coming
  6. Do or Die loading up with a large case of Gin at this point.... I'm going to break out my xmas bottle of Crown Royal watching this one...Come to think of it, a lot of fans might need to be anesthetized after watching the Fever do his thing in Cal...Dan will have to pull a rabbit...
  7. Depends on what part of this regime....Our scouts or our defensive coordinator...definitely have to have a good look at these positions in the offseason...Walters....he's a keeper....Mike O better be better than a one and done or the knives will be out
  8. I think that the expectations for this year were pretty high....Right now it looks like the fans are going to be let down once more....27 years and counting is always thrown out there and it's a bloody reality...You have to consider the injuries...Edmonton has/had a huge slough of them but it looks like they've righted the ship....I doubt that we can...I don't know how many players, as I have lost count, have been signed and have fallen off of our radar ....Sticking with the likes of Hurl and trying to pass off Davis as a back-up stands out for me...If Matt can't go next game colour us gonzo in 17....Maybe we'll get lucky and Cal. will go into 'self preservation' mode and we'll come home with the 2 pts. ...otherwise a home playoff game will have escaped us once more...That in itself is a failure in my books and IF we get pasted and out on our arse after our first post season game...look out cuz the crap is going to fly heavy and hard around these parts.
  9. Is this topic and poster trying to dictate what appears on this board....two words....GET LOST
  10. and then someone got tied to the railroad track and Jones was the hero there too...He was like just Coastin along ...and then lol...Good one Throw Long....Probably lot on here won't remember that goldy oldy .....but I do
  11. Stickem replied to Booch's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Johnny cant figure it out.....neither can I LOL....Mulumba's agent should be given a CFL handbook and point him to the registration office....then we can maybe take him serious
  12. Washington caught the ball on one play....looked confused after that and couldn't figure out where to go, so he went directly to the turf...Looked like he was scared of getting hit and is a little light looking to me...We need someone in there that doesn't look shell shocked...I know Leos were putting a lot extra on their hits and maybe Washington was scared to cough up the rock BUT this is a tough game and you can't hold back...Show us what you got on every play or you'll be shown the door...IF Givens is ready I wouldn't mind seeing him get a shot either against the Argos or the return Leo game...We need to get something going in the receiver dept. and quick
  13. Separated shoulders happen with hits and collisions like that....that would have been season ending and thank the football gods it's just a bruise....Losing Moe was enough....losing Adams as well would have been very concerning...As it stands maybe we'll get Wild back (hoping) and Dressler will make his return...should ease things a bit
  14. AND I hope Loffler continues that kind of hitting especially in the upcoming game against the Leos........not to even-up that hit on Adams but just to remind them our heavy hitter is still back there and waiting ...
  15. OUCH......that one is going to hurt....The game itself was an ending we wanted....those injuries IF as serious as they looked just put a big hitch in our giddyup....I guess we'll find out how deep we are in this important stretch run....Not easy to replace Adams or Moe BUT we have to if our playoff run is going to be successful...Don't like what I'm seeing
  16. Someone in the media said it's a 'costume glove'.....Matt breaking in his 'Phantom Of the Opera' outfit for the 31'st I guess. Kidding aside I'm just glad he's playing....We have to have our best down the stretch
  17. Lankford kicking field goals at practice....HUH....emergency I guess....This kid seems to be very versatile BUT maybe he should polish the best part of his game first....I can see why we keep him around....just wind him up and put him in....No guarantee's though
  18. Washington taking first team reps in Lankford's spot in practice today according to the media....Could there be a switch for the Leos' game?....Shall see
  19. Exactly....What's the saying....'there's none so blind as those who refuse to see'...If you've followed Paul's past coaching record before he got here it starts off successful....sometimes very successful then goes into the tank big time....Maurice ....meet tank.....Sure players play and coaches coach but once you lose the locker room, which it now appears is the case....it's time to replace the coach as you cannot replace a whole team.....Something has got to give.....IF we drop a couple more there will be consequences (no I'm not Kavis) but I think Maurice is now in the same type of boat as Reed....listing badly and taking on water.
  20. One of the dumbest moves was to re-up Maurice and whoever was responsible they should clear out their desk...Of course if it were the owners then they get a pass...cuz after all they brought this mess back to the Peg...After all of the big hub bub on the Jets return they seemed to have gone brain dead...Takes awhile but the fans will start to turn on the team if they don't see any move to correct this mess..Losing to that Cal. power house team(lol) should have opened a few eyes one would hope.
  21. Should have got rid of Maurice last year....The players don't have any respect for this guy and until that happens you can expect the losses to mount....When will this club ever learn....
  22. Davis has been practicing here for years....Sure as heck didn't look like it last night and if that's the result of all of his practice time, we better be on the look for a new back-up....I'd rather see Lefevour in there at this point if Matt can't go
  23. That look by Jack says it all folks...The caption should read 'And you said you were a winner'....Sure as heck didn't look like we were one last night...in fact just the opposite...A very poor effort from a team I expected a lot more from at this time of year...Is it too late to make some key changes....If the answer is 'yes'....then it might be too late in the game to advance any further than we did last season.
  24. We learned a few things last night....we don't have that killer instinct and that passive D reared it's ugly....Not too thrilled with the effort or lack of it, at all ...A blown play by our O line might have cost us our starter for awhile (or longer) in the most important part of our stretch run....Letting a team like Ham. march at will, sure pointed out the defence is lacking and I'm looking at the soft play in the middle...Masoli wasn't panicked at all or even rushed that much...He just went calmly about dismantling us and this is Masoli of the last place team in the east we're talking about...4 games left and we're in repair mode...We better find some answers or by the look of that game last night post season will be very brief.
  25. Phony news take in the Sun about that debacle...At home and wacked real good...They tried to use an analogy of a bad flight and take-off...Who the hell are they trying to fool...This team crashed last year and they did pee all to maintain and correct this Jet...player wise or management wise...It's only just begun folks....the wings have fallen off.
