The CFL 2011

 

I just checked his stats Trice. He can back it up with his numbers. Wasn't he hurt for awhile last year and/or played injured? Amazing what a new season can do for a player. BTW, just to remind you again, your 'smos are going to melt tonight.  Just givin' ya bad time there buddy.

Never heard of Whitehurst.  Is he a rookie or a vet backup?  Granted, I love NFL football, but have never really followed 1 team for too long.

I'm glad the lockout ended too.  I have a feeling that the NBA lockout will last longer.  I don't think it would make much of a difference if the Raptors played or not next year.  The players can still work on strength and conditioning, plus their draft pick will be in Europe for a year.  Anyway, back to football...

 

I think the Lions are going for the perfect season. 0-18. I think I'm going to change my avatar. "I ain't superstitous but a black cat crossed my trail."

 

The Lions D played well but the Bomber's D played better. Travis Lulay again over threw open recievers, most notably in the last minutes of the game. I think he's still going to be a very good QB in this league but this is all part of the development. I think the team has to stick with him.

 

Buck Pierce is a warrior but he's got to change his mentality. He's got to learn to know when to go down and not take a hit. Last night he took on Solomon Elimimiam head on. He did get back up but left suppossedly due to another hit. Alex Brink did a good job replacing him.

 

The Lions didn't play bad and were in it pretty much to the end, again.

 

The Argos will melt the Eskimos and the Ti-cats are going to scratch a win over the Als tonight, double header Friday night.

 

I only watched the 1st half of the Calgary/Edmonton game. "Smilin Hank" hasn't had much too grin about. The Eskiomos are no fluke. They're playing great on three sides of the ball. Just goes to show that making changes at the top does work. Sometimes it's not the players.

 

It's getting ugly here on the west coast and I'm not talking about our summer. It's was a pretty good game and went down to the last minute. Lulay has been very inconsistent so far this year. On the other hand his recievers, Geroy Simon excluded, have been...basically useless. They're young and very little CFL experience, but man it's time to start to do something. Again our D couldn't tackle. One bright spot was that Corey Banks played like Corey Banks. Poor Wally. He's going to be getting the heat this week.

 

Sask/Mtl. tonight. Hopefully the Green will make a game of it. Rider pride isn't going to stand for a 0-4 start.

  I think you're right. I thought the guy was all but washed up last year. Great comeback, so far.

The Eskimos are looking mighty fine. Eric Tillman has done another great job in such a short time. I think he's been GM for almost every team now except Montreal and Calgary. The guy gives me the creeps but he is one hell of a GM.

 

The poor Bombers. The last few years have been tough on them in the QB. Suppossedly Pierce says he thinks he'll be ready for next weekend(?). I think Buck would come out and play with a broken leg.

 

Don't get too cocky over there Trice. The season is still very early. Remember last year. The Lions lossed seven straight after beating your Eskimos in the first game of the year and came back and had a great second half and should of beat the Riders in the west semi-fianl. Though I do remember the Eskies finishing strong as well.

 

Until next weekend gentlemen.
