June 26, 201510 yr comment_128496 I fear the rest of the season we will have to listen to Rod Black go on about Air Canada. There isn't enough rye...
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128502 I've defended the guy, but this does look like a guy not wanting to be cut, and rather be released.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128506 Nice to see mtl playing this way. Good on the redblacks for win #3 ever.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128511 We have to remember that these are probably the two worst teams in the league going at it. Montreal and Ottawa is going to be an ugly game at any point of the season regardless of the rules.
June 26, 201510 yr Author comment_128513 I'll man up and say I was wrong about the Redblacks. Even though it was only one game and they still got 17 more games ahead of em, they couldn't have asked for a much better start.  But I can't for the life of me figure out wby Jim Popp brought on Jonathan Hefney to that team, that guy is a friggin cancer everywhere he goes. Personally I did think the call there on him was a little overblown, but come on, finish that play up and then walk away and quit yapping. No excuse for giving the Redblacks a freebie.  Also, Turk Schonert's playcalling sucks, he's worse than Crowton.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128533 Good for Ottawa getting their first road win ever!  Sloppy game, but some great hits and plays.  Eating motion's taunting  Really?  Oh well, gotta assume the players were told about it in TC. Montreal down to their 3rd string QB by the 3rd Q of the first game?  Yikes!  Maybe we can get a 1st rounder for Marve or Brohm. Was the hit on LeFevour legal? Hefney makes some great plays and some stupid ones. JJ had a nice INT. Burris stunk in the first half and played really well in the second. Never thought I'd see Montreal's defense get run over at the end of the game when they needed the ball back. I start the season 0 for 1 like most.
June 26, 201510 yr Author comment_128536 Pretty easy to bash Montreal, but think about this ... between our team and theirs, which team has had the better record after Labor Day the last few years?  Both our teams have seen turmoil lately but look at which team seems to know how to get out of it?  There were threads last year going around the other bomber site suggesting that the Als fire Jim Popp and do a complete tear down, yet he once again pulls a rabbit out of his hat and fixes that team, and would that have happened had he got axed?  The Als have been a 2nd half of the season team and most of that is thanks to their leadeship skills and ability to stay focused, and let me tell you after last year, I certainly think people within our organization and fanbase could take note of that because for once I would like to see my bombers go out and have and strong 2nd half and go rolling into the playoffs and be the hot team for once.  Just be aware of that friends.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128537 First and ten from their own 5 yard line and drove the ball all the way down the field to run out the clock against the Als defense..........well done RedBlacks!
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128539 I had the game on but kinda tuned in and out as it really had 0 interest for me, but good golly miss molly, Â was every play a penalty?? for those paying better attention, Â how much was was from the new rules? or was this just 2 teams in week one have some discipline issues as the seasons so fresh?
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128544 I'd love to know what Hefney said to deserve a penalty that late in a game. Even more questionable when you consider the guy chirping an injured player got away without one.

Very few were from the new rules. I think there were two illegal contact penalties. The rest were mostly holding, offside, and illegal blocks.

June 26, 201510 yr comment_128569 I'm glad there was no call on the LeFevour hit because I don't think it was helmet-to-helmet. One of the replays showed it wasn't IMO. I'd love to know what Hefney said to deserve a penalty that late in a game. Even more questionable when you consider the guy chirping an injured player got away without one. They were both chirping when LeFevour was walking off the field. Give them both one or neither.

June 26, 201510 yr comment_128574 Popp better have some magic and be able to pull a few rabbits...cuz this team is in a lot of trouble out of the gate...Their quarterbacking stunk and I don't see anyone on the bench...especially after the injuries that will carry them...They better pray that they can unearth another Calvillo...
June 26, 201510 yr comment_128576 do we see the umpteenth return of one of the following; Brink, Elliott or Goltz?
