CFL Thread

Well, I guess they've decided that everything that's happened for the last few years is pretty bad.

Well if you follow the Bombers like I do, Bochko has been pretty bad...

I don't follow them the way you do, but I have been watching the team collapse from the status it once enjoyed as being the constant runner-up in the East to Montreal.  The Swaggerville thing was a nice blip for them, but they really haven't had consistent quarterbacking since Kevin Glenn and Khari Jones back in their glory days.  I've also noticed that they have a really quick trigger for firing head coaches, which is usually a good way to detect teams that are going nowhere.

The Allouettes signed NFL reject Troy Smith today.  Suggs is already advocating for him to start.

[Grey Fox]

He could have made it in the NFL but there is simply too many new players each year to really spend any time developing someone.

Unless you are Aaron Rodgers, I guess.

I'll be going to the game on Saturday.  One of the big problems with the CFL - with the exception of the Quarterback for the Lions I dont know who any of the players are after not paying much attention for the last two years.

That's a problem for pro-football in general.  With 50-some man rosters it's hard to keep track of any besides the biggest star players

Naw, I know most of the players of my favourite NFL teams although I dont follow it that closlely.  The problem with the CFL is that if somone is really good - they head south.

I guess he gave up on on back to Ohio State for grad school.

Why waste his money?

[Neil]

Well Beeb, your boys were pretty good for two-and-a-half, but young QBs are a bitch when they have to keep up.

[Barrister]

The kicker is I was busy doing some errands so I only got to watch the 4th quarter.

[Neil]

Ouch.  Or maybe that's better than having them get your hopes up only to collapse?

[Barrister]

Well I did check the score at the start of the second half, to be shocked that the Bombers were in the lead...

[Neil]

Yeah.  The Riders have been really slow starters this year.  But in the second half, they're almost unstoppable.
