September 12, 20168 yr comment_222902 Sometimes teams are mediocre because of the QB tho. Football and hockey man. .. the 2 sports where 1 guy can make the difference between being a playoff team or not... QB and Goaltending. Lots of similarities there
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222903 The Year Of The Cat was 2015. The Collaros injury robbed them of a Grey Cup victory. They were killing teams at home & were just playing outstanding football. When Collaros went down that was the end of it. Took the wind out of their sails. That & the fact their backup qbs suck & still do.

Most Stanley Cup champs are capable of winning with average goaltending - and they do.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222910 Maybe average during the season but goalie numbers in the playoffs make a huge difference Look at Murray with Pitt... quick in LA Crawford in Chicago. Very good playoff numbers

Most Stanley Cup champs are capable of winning with average goaltending - and they do. plenty of teams have won grey cups with inferior qbs to the opposition too. Even more so in the nfl, and ncaa. Qbing isnt remotely close to the impact on a team that the pitcher has in baseball. A goalie in hockey has a larger impact as well, they are on the ice the whole game, at any point in time the play could flip and bring a short handed rush down to their end. 2 on 1 even great goalies are in trouble. You cant compare football and hockey because of that. They play both ways, same with basketball. And baseball has 0 contact. Football isnt comparable to any sport.
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222937 Speculations is Walters not done dealing yet. Could be Mulumba or Muamba deal is already in the backpocket ? Might be unloading a high-price NAT (Hurl or Neufeld) for a roster player and/or a pick ?

September 12, 20168 yr comment_222942 Off topic but does Penton know how to do research? Has Willy as 6-9 in 2014 when he was 7-10 and at 10-16 overall, when he was 11-18?
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222943 My two cents... I was a big Willy believer until this year. He looked uncertain and unable to make plays. Yes, he did not play behind our best o-line combination but I'm not convinced it would have made a big difference. I'm a real believer in the idea that as one area improves, it improves the other areas. I think Nicholls has had a positive impact on the performance of the o-line and the better the offense has played, the defense has been even better. That said, I will miss Willy-peg but still believe this is the best move for both sides. Edited September 12, 20168 yr by JCon Fixed typo
September 12, 20168 yr comment_222946 I don't follow Gary Lawless, but it's obvious now, that he's got some good connections.

At least the "he's fat" stuff has died off. But he still takes a licking online in some circles. He's very much a "smoke/fire" guy and you can often learn a lot by reading between the lines. Has to be considered one of the more respected TSN guys as far as his information and analysis goes.

September 12, 20168 yr comment_222991 I had to check to be sure... he appears to have deleted the tweet, but some twitterers (twits?) are giving him flak for it. I don't think we imagined it.

I was talking to 17to85 on FB chat and told him about it and he says "just watch, Walters saw that and said 'ehhhhhhh might wanna pull that one, Bob...'" And wouldn't you know.....

September 12, 20168 yr comment_223009 and then deleted it less than 5 minutes later....so someone clearly saw that and said "mayyyyyybeeee dial it back for now..."
