We had Butler. He was a stud both running and pass catching. Why did we move from him? The line has been as issue for years. Both of them. Why we don’t address these things is beyond me. We couldn't afford him. At least not without dropping salary elsewhere (which in hindsight could have been Lucky...

My worst fears when I watched both (non-contact) injuries have been realized. Just brutal. I wonder if TJ now calls it a career?

Why are we not using Cottoy? Can be a tight end for us. Block and go upfield for 8-10 yard gains.

The Lions should "spy" Bighill by having a blocker on him on almost every play. No more than the Bombers should spy Lokombo. Really don't see Bighill and his 74 tackles as a threat anymore. More often than not he gets washed out by bigger linemen and, apart from that one play last game wh...

We shall see if the Leos' 3 biggest problem areas all season will be our demise for the 2023 season. * Lack of a run game. * Lack of consistent run stop. * Lack of discipline. It's possible that we can pass our way out of trouble so the run game becomes less important. It's possible too that we cont...

I am happier with Moore activated. Thought he played well against the Stamps and had good pursuit on Maier. A bit more size inside. Siddiqi has taken penalties at some woefully inopportune times lately.

Also, no Winston Rose for the Bombers.

One thing that is of concern is injuries to NATs. Chances of Jack Hinsperger playing after that hellacious collision with Logan can't be good. Hinsperger has been playing well in special teams coverage. If both he and Hladik can't suit up that's 2 NAT LBs out with limited options on who to suit up....

Sorry, but I can't see Hladik playing. He emerged (in street clothes) from the locker room in the 2nd half with a noticeable limp. Very noticeable. One week is not enough to overcome that, even if it's just a contusion. And anything less than full mobility is going to handicap our linebacking corps....

Is there a correlation between our "all-black" uniforms and the number of penalties we take? It may sound like an old wives' tale but there have been numerous studies conducted which suggest here that teams wearing black uniforms DO get penalized more often. It's the colour of aggression a...

Keys to the game: * It's essential that our Leos get off to a fast start, jump out to a lead, and dictate the game plan. If we can manage to go up by say, 10-14 points (in an ideal world), it will force the Stamps to rely more on Maier's arm, which is what we want. * Will Calgary try to confuse VA ...

It was stupid and selfish on his part. Now he has hurt the team, organization, and fan base. I hope he takes his punishment like a man and doesn't make a joke out of the process by appealing so he can play the game. Stupid and selfish? Quite frankly, I am not sure how I would react in the heat of t...

I nailed all of the Leos players in my own picks. :cheer: Here is how I see the RUNNERS-UP: MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER 1st Runner-up: Mathieu Betts 2nd Runner-up: Keon Hatcher MOST OUTSTANDING DEFENSIVE PLAYER 1st Runner-up: Ben Hladik 2nd Runner-Up: Garry Peters MOST OUTSTANDING CANADIAN 1st Runner-up...

I bought the Fog Grey VA jersey earlier this year. Am happy with the purchase. Quality is not game-worn but numbers are stitched on so I am satisfied. If you look at Crazy P's (home) jersey up close (those that go to games), it is a true player replica. Quality thickness and stitching, snug fit etc....

* It pains me to say this but we are the Detroit Lions of the CFL. People say we're good, the record reflects it, yet I'm not quite sold. Some teams (a growing list) just come along and expose all our warts. * Bottom line, I don't care what's on the line. All or nothing. But the good teams don't get...

My key questions for this match-up are: * Can we match Calgary's intensity? Their playoff lives are on the line while we are more-or-less ensconced in 2nd place (yea, I know there is a mathematical possibility for first place. But I also don't buy lotto tickets for the very same reason). * We know o...
