Death From Above Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 It's here. Let's do the thing. Toronto rolls out Rocket Ismael, Damon Allen, Joe Thiesman, and Pinball Clemons to help launch the new season. Atmosphere already clearly a lot better.
Death From Above Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 Hamilton's O and D line have both looked very strong in this game and have swung the game heavily. SImoni Lawrence has wrapped up player of the week in less than three quarters.
Dewar Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Got offered a free ticket today, so I will be in the stadium for the Blue Bombers home opener tomorrow. This means it will rain, and a Bomber will go down with a season ending injury. 1
Kuetsar Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Not to put to fine a point on it, but aren't streakers generally nude?
Death From Above Posted June 26, 2016 Author Posted June 26, 2016 I'm not a big fan of Section O but I have to admit that's one of his better pranks. Not a great performance for week one. Defense, obviously, must do better than giving up 500+ passing yards. Clearly the secondary is a lot weaker which is no surprise. Defections to Saskatchewan, Grymes to the NFL, then Ojo blew his achillies in training camp was only the icing on the cake. Honestly, for all the points, the offense wasn't even close to top gear either. Lots of room to improve at least. Interesting to see how this game compares once Edmonton has played some teams that might not be on Ottawa's level.
DEAN Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 BC has the Ode To The 1984 Michigan Panthers helmets. I back their play 100%. 1
Death From Above Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 That Duron Carter incident was beyond strange. The more I watch it, the weirder it gets. What on earth was going on there? Everything about it is inexplicable. Why did Carter walk right into him and not react at all? Why was Campbell on the field getting in his way? Once it happens why does Carter stand there taunting while dudes are trying to start a fight with him? Whole thing is just bizarre.
DouglasC Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I'm officially at the point where I don't care how injured Collaros is, I just want him in at QB.
RIPPA Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I remember when the Skins cut Brandon Banks Good times... 1

Death From Above Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Goddamn last night's game was Very Good Sports.
Dewar Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 I dislike football a great deal this season. At least I wasn't getting charged 10 bucks a beer to watch the Bombers lose last night.
Death From Above Posted July 16, 2016 Author Posted July 16, 2016 This has been an embarrassment of a football game. Montreal have absolutely no offensive line at all. No receivers, really. No running game.
DouglasC Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Either someone has reached the acceptance stage, or some relocated Bombers fan is doing some masterful trolling. 1
Death From Above Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 I will repeat here summarizing my thoughts on Edmonton's performance tonight. I have been attending Esks home games since some point in the mid-late 80's, roughly '87 if I had to guess. In that time I have never witnessed a more shocking defeat than tonight. I could even get past blowing a TWENTY-SIX POINT lead if it had been off of Big Play Magic, say Brandon Banks returning two kicks for touchdowns, or some 105-yard pass TD that sparks Strange Things. It was not. This was much scarier. This was giving up 10-15 yard plays for absolutely free, over and over and over again like nothing I have ever seen. Masoli set a new record with 23 straight completions. On many of his throws it is no exaggeration that when he released the ball, receivers were 5-7 yards open. All of this occured against a backup QB who will instantly be benched for a far better player in Collaros, a legitimate MVP candidate. I don't even know how to define what Edmonton's secondary was TRYING to do during the second half. I have watched probably tens of thousands of hours of football, and I don't know what they were trying to do. I was absolutely in shock post game. Totally numb. This was one of the worst defensive halves of football I have ever seen.
DouglasC Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 When Hamilton was down by the 26 points, I decided to flip over to the Mets game. When a Mets victory became doubtful, I flipped back wondering how bad it had become, just in time for a Ti-Cats TD. Considering I still assumed the rout was on, I was wondering why they were celebrating when they'd likely knocked the lead down to some number in the teens. "And the Ti-Cats take the lead!" HUH? WHA? I assumed that Brandon Banks had gone nuts, not that Massoli had a record setting run of consistency. 1
DEAN Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I stopped watching after it was 31 to 13. Then, later last night, I noticed they were talking about the game on ESPN. Oh man.

Dewar Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I made the mistake of shutting off the BC/Calgary game before the comeback and overtime win for the Stamps.
Death From Above Posted July 30, 2016 Author Posted July 30, 2016 Awesome game. I can never be truly happy with BC/Calgary because, you know, someone has to win, but that was great fun.
