RIP Larry Thompson

I think they’re locked in because Cody has emerged as the undisputed leader of this team so I get not playing Ford in that sense. But at the same time I’d love to see him come in for a series at times as a change of pace.

Seems...

Harris is the new Kevin Glenn. Good enough to put up numbers and win games early in the season but he’ll never be a championship QB IMO....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Agreed. And I don’t understand why it has to be Fajardo OR Ford. I’m a fan of both guys because where this franchise is right now we NEED both guys....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Cody owes Rank half his game check after that one. ...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Yeah the play clock change is necessary IMO, things have gotten out of hand when it takes 11 minutes to play 113 seconds.

Losing the excitement of the missed fg return should be balanced out by more exciting red zone plays with the goal...

[ben_the_eskimo]

I agree. And as I’ve said before, having seen both of them in green and gold now I’d take Fajardo over Harris all day....

[ben_the_eskimo]

There’s a lot of things Cody does really well but he’s just not a Mike Reilly gunslinger type. But thats ok, not everyone successful QB is like that. Like I said I love how he comes through in the clutch times....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I’m a little bit confused as to what’s not to get…

I mean, the many literally saved the franchise we all love from the brink of bankruptcy, and then proceeded to spend the last year of his life pouring resources, time and...

[ben_the_eskimo]

As for the game itself, I was pretty happy with the defence overall, for the most part we have first and second year guys across the board right now but you wouldn’t know it by the way they’re playing. Our D seems to somehow get better with...

[ben_the_eskimo]

I agree, I’d have to go back and rewatch to make sure but I swear at one point (I think it was after the completion that KJ nearly gave up the TD on) the rider trading staff had time to run down to the 10 yard (or whatever yard line it was on)...

[ben_the_eskimo]

No kidding….

Article says he went through some complications following a surgery....

This is shocking news. Thoughts with Deb and the family right now....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I echo your sentiments about the posts and I’m actually happy about that change. The NFL made that change 50 years ago and the result is that your red zone playbook is wide open, even more so for us with the deeper and wider endzone. If there’s...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Kicking through the back of the endzone was awarding a point to a team for earning field position, that’s always made sense to me. Throw or run the ball into the endzone for 6, kick the ball through the target for 3, or gain enough yardage to boot...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Well… what is there to say. They play hard but they’re just not there yet. That win over Calgary restored hope but now things have crashed back down. So disappointed....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Hate to say it but maybe it's time for Beard to hang up the cleats... I dunno, he's been one of the best Olineman in the league for a long time but he just hasn't looked the same this year for some reason. He's played for what, 10 seasons? That's a long...

[ben_the_eskimo]

I agree. But that’s crazy to me given the talent on paper. Maybe Sorrels isn’t meshing with Jordan’s offence? I have no idea just spitballing....

[ben_the_eskimo]

What an absolute heart breaker. Gut wrenching....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Hate to say it but our DL seems better without him…...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Damn. Better team all day but couldn’t close it out....
