definitely not directed at you... those it is directed at know who they are... I am willing to discuss my point if they are interested...

Anyone who wants to throw out Matt Nichols now must have a very short memory... Let me tell you about the story of a man named Kevin Glenn... hhe once patrolled the line of scrimmage for the Blue and Gold... while not the most prolific passer in the league, he produced wins and gave the team a chance... Then one day an intrepid young traveler by the name of Michael Kelly rolled into town and proclaimed "I possess the next great CFL QB and I will toss aside this productive, yet underwhelming, QB in his favour"... and then the Bombers proceeded to toil the deserted island of misfit QBs for the next 10 years... meanwhile this former "not good enough" QB continued to have success at every stop along the way... Moral of the story... while I agree that Nichols may not be a superstar.... he is the best option we have had since Mr. Glenn and we should absolutely not get rid of him until we know, unequivocally, that we have a better QB ready to go...

??? Do you work for Argos management?.... there's no possible way you could have any knowledge of who they are considering in their HC search... just b/c you don't like the guy doesn't mean no other team is willing to give him a job...

Dan Federkiel comes to mind too... Ben Hennan chose to take up farming full time rather than come back to play in the CFL... but of course that was after he exhausted his NFL opportunities... realistically LaBatte could just have more desire to keep playing as long as he can... but I doubt he's choosing farming over NFL and playing in the CFL for fun...

I would probably call it slight disappointment to have not won more... but certainly not a failure... PS sorry for the delayed reply, been a busy week/weekend

well... I didn't know that... now I hope he sticks around our league... and on this earth... for a very long time... I'm guessing they did a pre-game special on him... but I don't typically watch those things...

IMO, this would be a huge loss for the CFL... there are not many potential up-and-coming super star coaches in the league right now... hopefully he sticks around our league...

you're in the thread where we talk about how many threads there should be...

sure but that's not the point... you said Calgary has been a failure b/c they have "only" won 3 cups despite a decade and a half of dominance... I'd gladly trade their past 15 years for ours...

I'm kind of on the fence with Loffler... at the right price, he's a nice player to have back there... but I definitely don't view him as irreplaceable... I suspect Walters will try to retain him but will have a limit on price...

You were almost bang on... but from what I saw BLM was very humble and gave all the praise to his teammates and coaches... I was kind of waiting for him to slip up but he didn't...

yeah... I don't think I'd complain if the Bombers has 3 grey cups in the last 11 years...

So many confusing things about this post.... so because we didn't sign Matthews, that means Winnipeg is not actually a desirable destination??... Dressler is the only free agent we've singed in 5 years???

I personally think the "28 years" effects only the fans... I don't any of the players care the we haven;t won the whole thing in a long time (maybe other than Andrew Harris)... all they care about is winning now

If they can convince him to switch to receiver... that would improve their Canadian depth...

I think Adam Vinateri and Matt Bryant would tend to agree...

from someone who was actually at the game... was Calgary's downfield coverage as good as it seemed?... it just felt like there was never anyone open except for the two overthrows (Adams and Harris)...

I'm not sure how anyone can have anything bad to say about Neufeld after the season he just had... played as well as Bond and played all 18 games... he's a Canadian making (reportedly) around 140k this year... I would guess about 8 other teams in the league would've loved to have had him in their lineup this year... My guess is it's Winnipeg or BC... hopefully Hervey screws it up again this off-season and he comes back here for a couple years...

IMO blowing it up now would set this team back... I wouldn't mind seeing some changes in the coaching ranks whether it be coordinators or positional coaches... For me, the only way we replace Mike O'Shea would be if we're bringing in Devone Claybrooks... anyone else would be a poor decision... Kyle Walters needs to do better at the WR position... there's no way to sugar coat that... Calgary loses 3 American starters and still has an all-star core... Hamilton loses 3 starters and and still uncovers a gem like Braylon Addison...

One year too early...

It's just AAF.... Alliance of American Football...

That guy was Odell Willis... so, take that for what it's worth... I suppose it is debatable but he grabs is left shoulder pad and pulls him back.. I believe this was the first year they started to really crack down on horse collars also.. so again, I'm not surprised it was called...

GO BOMBERS! ...I'm not very good at this game...

good to see he's got his life back on track... sounds like it was quite a mess when he was here...

This is so hilariously ironic... only a Rider fan would be stupid enough to make this argument...
