  1. Very definitely....Herb was a lot like Grant....easy going and talented....and a huge force on the field....Sure boggles my mind today that we paid him more than what he could get in the nfl...The guy loved it here...I wish we had more of those types in the league today.

    Gurley for sure.....Rumour was that we were trying to pry him out of T.O. with that trade for Willy, but Milonavitch put the kibosh on it and we ended up with Heath .... Not that's not a good thing but I'm sure we had interest...It's a no-brainer to go after him now....Can't figure Milonavitch out with this one....If he wanted to keep Gurley then...what has happened since????

    If we don't try to acquire Gurley something is radically wrong here...He's exactly what we need and better than Sinkfield in my opinion...Because he had problems in T.O. doesn't necessarily translate to problems here...Different scenario altogether between us and the argos..
  4. No this can't be true...Rider board says it's Hazelton ..you know that can't be wrong lol...Someone has their wires crossed...It appears to be Elliott...Maybe Milo isn't finished yet...

    Willy the rest of the way for the Argo's?....IF he plays as good as he did in their last outing, I think the no 1 overall in 17 is looking pretty good...lol
  6. A decade on our defence and he was SOLID... Herb was all star material every year as far as I was concerned...Very well deserved honour.. A big part of the Grant era and all those Cups..
  7. Hazelton looked good the few times I saw him play.....Pretty good size and can catch when he wants to play....Seems he doesn't want to play in argoland and what is the reason????Sees a team stuck in the mud and going nowhere I guess...Does that say he has a bad attitude and not the material O'Shea thinks is worthy....Maybe it's time to look past that and view him as a reclamation project considering our situation.
  8. I agree it's great to get the blocking out of our RB's....BUT we have two damn good backs here...Cold weather coming and keeping one fresh to spell each other off could really keep the opposition on their toes...Run the heck out of the ball, I say....Like I said B.C. is doing it with Allen and Jerimiah Johnson...Seems to be working...why not give it a shot...Of course all of this is contingent on Harris being healthy and ready to go.
  9. Though I kinda like the Harris/Flanders combo...(seeB.C. and their alternating backs) I don't like that receiving corps line-up...Something about it doesn't impress the heck out of me ( although they are all fairly competent)...It just doesn't seem like that is a recipe for going very far in the play-offs (if we get there)and sure as hell isn't scaring the opposition...We needed to add a BIG playmaker at receiver and it just isn't there.
  10. Maybe we can trade the arenogoods their no 1 pic back and Neufeld for Coombs and Gurley.....The way the argos are playing it looks like they will be in serious contention for the no 1 overall which would belong to us...Bite Barker bite...

    Drew was way over-rated and way over paid....He is what I always thought a no 2 serviceable qb....He was carrying a huge weight on his shoulders here because the fans expected him to deliver what he wasn't capable of...A few good games then the real Willy stood up...I hope Milo in T.O. can make something of him.... I wish him well BUT I hope they don't expect another Ricky Ray cuz it just ain't there.
  12. Hey what better time to pick up a leo cast-off....Maybe he'll bring their playbook with him....AND IF we reek the rest of the way, I wouldn't be too sure about Mike O's future here...Too many failing years will catch up no matter who you are...Then again maybe we'll extend him and give him a big raise similar to what Willie got.....Oh I'm such a cynic.lol
  13. Do we have a policy not to go after players who have been up here and try the nfl?....Seems like it....Sinkfield would've been a nice addition but for reasons unknown he's playing for a division rival that could Sink us........ooooo did I really say that
  14. I wonder. if he sees a Cal. player kick a fumble down field, if he'll remember not to treat it like it was a grenade...
  15. If you're referring to krunch....I guess that's wise...I do know he announced he was never coming back here....Didn't back that up though did he....lol....I called him on some crap he tried to dump on us is all...I shall ignore him from this point on like the rest... Take it easy on the unenlightened though for cripes sake logan and let me get up to speed ......

    Your lake isn't up around St. Laurent is it????I used to do a lot of duck hunting around there and the St. Ambrose area....Clarke Gable used to come up every year to a cabin he owned here, to duck hunt around St. Laurent ...Pretty popular with Americans...Nice to see Bud is still staying as active as he is...As for me I've hung up my shotguns a few years ago...Miss it.. After that game we played last night Bud is certainly the most deserving of the Happy Honker....
  17. Why is it we seem to fall to pieces (seemingly) towards the end of the season...Does Mikey heap praise on our players after a winning streak and then say....'hey we did good guys...you can relax now' cuz that's what seems to happen...Certainly we have a few key injuries...but every team has those.....It seems the intensity has diminished for some reason...especially on D.. We never had a heckuva lot on offence anyway so that ain't it...Maybe Harris being out and taking his leadership qualities off the field is hurting us more than we know....Then on the other hand we never had him the last two seasons when we seemed to go into the 'season ending funk'..???I don't get it...I hope I'm wrong and we can shift gears and get back on the track...Otherwise it'll be a repeat of a repeat we've seen too many times in the recent past.
  18. Yep.....Lefavour (of the month)...Bo....Riley....and now we get Jennings who is most likely salivating at the thought of playing a team who keep their dbs. 15 feet off of the receiver...not to mention Harris and his band of go to guys who are no slouches either...This is not going to be any easy finish to the reg. season and I doubt the bye week is going to save the day....That might get a few of our guys who are nic'd a rest but unless we have an 'awakening' on D......I don't like the way this is gonna end.
  19. I don't like to blame reffing for failure .. BUT in this game it was atrocious....Never mind that pi call on Leggett (complete bull$hit)...How about the refs firmly in Maas's corner...deliberating on a challenge he made...changing it ..then standing around pondering it forever, making sure he didn't want to change his mind again...No wonder everybody was booing...First it's pi...then it isn't...then it's...What a bunch of crap..I hope we don't get that zebra crew again in 16' although, to be sure, they'll be front and centre if we have a game of significant importance....I don't know what I'm more po'd about....the Fogg td's being called back...EVERY BLOODY TIME ...or the habitual losing at IGF...throw in the hee hawing on our challenges or not challenging blatant bloody errors by the refs. period...In the end we didn't do ourselves any favours with dropped balls on the goal line...(looking at you Dress) and getting very little pressure on Riley till the second half...Even then it was sporadic....O'Shea was boiling at the half and he looked like he was ready to blow his lid..First time I've really seen him tear into his guys and they deserved it..Maybe we need more of that...Disappointed in this team once again and I hope we're not going back to the...'look great for awhile' then slip into the toilet for the remainder of the year b.s....
  20. Guess this game didn't mean much, the way we played it....Bull&hit play from beginning to end...This team stinks at home and it's no wonder we have a struggle to fill the joint...Not happy with this at all.
  21. .....Willy could be out....that's indecent....Feel bad for the guy but you have to stay erect to be successful...He always seemed a little soft to me...Argos finding that out now
  22. I agree....why is it that none of our pics seem to be interested in joining us???Bilukudi...Mulumba....not to mention Muamba (who I don't really care to mention but nonetheless)...To be fair I guess they aren't 'quite' finished with their nfl gigs....or if they have, haven't expressed any interest that we know of...I think Jefferson is about to sign with the Esks....orr the green guys...Do we not measure up.?????
  23. Young or older (I don't like the term old) we're all solid Bomber fans around here (at least most of us) and that is what's paramount.
  24. So we're still bringing in receivers...probably a good thing...Never heard, how did this guy Outlaw turn out or did he??
