I think Charles is the worst of the three. A good change of pace back, but i do not think he is as good as the other two. At this point with their running game and their D, I think the 'smoes make the playoffs

As for the Riders game, wow! Looks like the O got back on track. Get home tomorrow afternoon and will have to check that one out on the pvr. The boxscore looks mighty impressive.

Nice to see that LaPolice was the problem in Winnipeg.

No kidding.. They definitely got rid the wrong person. Joe Mack needs to go. This is the same guy who thinks relying on QB Buck "Iron Man" Pierce and not signing any other veteran QB would be a good move. He let OL Brandon Labatte go and traded their top DL Odell Willis to Saskatchewan. He did not even put an effort in replacing the players they lost on DL. I am not sure of his reasoning but that really hurts the team.

The only thing i couldn't blame him is having to play 4 games on the road at the beginning of the season due to construction of the new arena. They did not have a backup plan in case the new stadium will not be ready, which was the case this season. I don't think Tim Burke will do any better than LaPolice but i am hoping i am wrong because i like Burke. Well good luck Bomber fans.. it is going to be a long summer for you guys. Time to petition to fire Joe Mack now before he does any more damages.

I missed today's game, but as far as I can tell the bombers lost 52-0 and based on the stats, it looks like Winnipeg's D didn't even play that bad.

Bombers passed for 96 yards and rushed for 46?!?

Total Offense 142 yds.

9 punts, and of the 5 that got returned they were returned for an average of 46 yards each?!?

It is common to see that when a coach gets fired, the team will look good in the short term, and play especially hard knowing that asses are on the line. But is this a case a case of a popular coach being fired and the team quitting?

J/k of course.

Pure domination. Back to back fails on the kickoff receptions by the Bombers. That was very comedic.

Nope.

Bombers were just bad, Riders didnt do all that much and deserve no credit.

Isnt that how it works according to you?

You are a petty pathetic child.

LOL!!!

Sucks having ones own words work against oneself does it not?

Thanks for the laugh....even though such attacks are frowned upon.

That didn't last long, Brian Sanford signed to the Cleveland practice squad, cut Solomon Elimimian from the practice squad.

Chris Williams is simply unreal....he is worth the price of admission all by himself.

Drake · 09-03-2012, 01:36 PM

LOL, there is the Burris we all love.

OzSome · 09-03-2012, 01:37 PM

Oh Burris, that was a terrible throw for INT.

Drake · 09-03-2012, 01:45 PM

His Ryan Kesler flop before that was pretty brutal too.

zamler · 09-03-2012, 02:02 PM

Burris lost the game for his team, so glad he's not here anymore.

It was a bad pick-6 throw by Burris, but the Ti-Cats defense needed to step up and stop the Argos. Can't pin this loss entirely on Hank.

I know that when it comes to Burris people here are always going to post BS like this, but that terrible Ti-Cats defense lost them the game.

And is better than and having a better year than any of the garbage Qb's we have here. We would be much better off with Burris on this team healthy Tate or not.

Elimimian released from the Browns' practice roster. Again, he has 10 days to find another NFL team before his rights revert back the Lions.

pewpew · 09-03-2012, 10:11 PM

Farhan Lalji reporting that Elimimian has just arrived in Vancouver.

Elimimian to Mac (middle), Bighill to will (weak OLB). That's how I see it playing its way out. That is a ridiculous LB group if he does play for the Lions

Flickered Flame · 09-04-2012, 08:13 AM

The best defense in the league just got even better.

I have to disagree with you. Hugh Charles is more versatile than Cory Boyd. He can run, block and catch and gain lots of YAC after. Messam on the other hand is Canadian and a big back who can run people over. Boyd is pretty similar to Messam except for the nationality. With Tillman's decision this season, it's hard to predict who they will keep and the only sure bet is Messam staying.
