Is Trevor Harris done for the season?
I'm hoping that in the off-season Presson can create the sort of optimism in the Eskimo organization that Holland has brought to the Oilers even though they don't have equivalent positions.
Agree that the entertainment value has never been lower.
There will never be a greater WB than Warren Moon.
I know you were saying in the past that he Bombers could drop Matt Nichols like a hot potato and Chris Streveler could take them to places Nichols could not. Was wondering how you feel now, that Streveler has had a grade A chance at running the offence and leading the team?Didn't even bother watching one minute of the Esks game. Had it PVR'ed and merely glanced at it occasionally while working around the house. Seemed like the Esks scoreline stayed at 16 for eternity and that without Reilly the Leos were going have trouble catching up to that meager total. I guess this game is symbolic of when a win can be a loss. Really I suspect nobody watching this game won, you lost 3hrs of your life.
I did watch some of the AL's Bombers game just out of curiosity and imo only the Bombers abject fear of Vernon Adams kept it close. Its like they were superstitious all game that this guy was some magician that was going to bring down the house again. They play right into his hands time and again, I have no idea why.
The Vernon Adams I saw was perennially impulsive passing long bombs into coverage all day long and just mindlessly putting it up. He had 4 picks in the 2nd half that I watched. With Rod Black punching him up like he's Warren Moon all game long. Rod Blacks commentary was so biased it was sickening. Is it just me or is he always pumping up the Eastern team.
The scoreline was a 3 score bombers lead and the whole time Rod Black is saying things Like Al's are for real, they're so good, here they come, they strike fear in everyone blah blah. Despite the Bombers self destructing often, and Steveler throwing the worst advised ball you can imagine, for a pick at the worst time, the Bombers couldn't even throw this game away this time. As much as the Bombers were self destructing Vernon Adams was having none of it. With steel eyed determination he bagged the loss and flew home out of the frozen cold tundra. From the Airport in Minnesota..
My lasting impression once again is the CFL has become some kind of pretend ballgame. A league so bad it defies you to change the channel or be disinterested. every week its a faux hype show but the actual team play is pathetic.
The whole time I'm wondering how the Stamps lost twice to this Al's club.
Maybe Hamilton is a good team, maybe the only one. The CFL could use one or two teams that are actually good. A start.
That's not saying a whole lot.The Eskimos have been 100 times the ticket price / entertainment value than the oilers for about 12 years.

I don't think he's a very good passer. A good backup option to throw a different look once in a while, but that's about it. Another Tim Tebow.I feel like Streveler must have rocks roaming around in his cerebral cortex. Man, every physical gift but decision making that is just incomprehensible. Lets see. Your up two TD's late in the game and all you have to do to win is make the clock go down and eat the time clock as much as possible. You respond instead by throwing a pick that gets returned back to your 30 on the very next play. A ball that was thrown into double, almost triple coverage, seemingly tempting the opposition to take a foothold in the game..
Its hard to like these QB's But man, Nichols threw 6 picks in one game once. Its like clowns leading the circus and making clown decisions. They should have IQ tests or something
Wide Believer.Wrunning back?
JesusI heard on Gregors show today that the Esks management ****ed up so bad in their salary cap calculations that they had to ask and get some players to take salary cuts so they would not exceed the cap. Some as high as 30k!!! Like wtf??? The implication from Gregor was clear that perhaps some of the horrific play was partially because of that. If true, what kind of ineptness is there in management?
As well Gregor (who I think is plugged in to the Esks) suggested that the Esks have way bigger problems problems far beyond what firing Maas (imo an idiot) could solve. Oiler like almost.
Do I have that right Jason?

Time to get @Del Preston in here to merge Chiarelli’s head with Sunderland’s like he did with Dubas.
*I wish I could photoshop Chiarelli's head in there, but oh well.
Probably shouldn't buy calculators from Bob SacamanoAn entire organization that apparently can’t do basic math would qualify as a bigger problem.
actually the biggest problem is that the league may have swept this under the table and gave the Esks leniency and time to sort things out instead of forcing them to release players to get under the cap.
I don't really get how big problems can really be. It's the CFL you can start from scratch and be competitive in a couple years.I heard on Gregors show today that the Esks management ****ed up so bad in their salary cap calculations that they had to ask and get some players to take salary cuts so they would not exceed the cap.
