Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

I agree, Robbie. I thought Drew Lock looked pretty good, although he missed a couple of his passes. The guy has a real cannon for an arm and is mobile too. They are lucky to have a QB of his talent as a backup. What made last night more impressive is that the Seahawks have been playing their last th...

Re: Chase Claypool

This just in. Perhaps the end of Claypool's time in Chicago?

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jets management has no choice but to “roll with Zach” because they spent the #2 overall pick on him in 2021. If the Jets braintrust admits made a mistake they will be out of work just as quickly as Zach Wilson. Plucking Rourke from the Jags PR would be a clear signal that there is an open compe...

Chase Claypool

This should probably go in the All Sports subforum, but I know that many on this subforum have been following the NFL career of Chase Claypool, and so might be interested in the following. He’s a local guy from Abbotsford who played college ball at Notre Dame and was a 2nd-round draft pick by the Pi...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

I'm betting that Hambone's Option #1 is what the Jets will go with. Despite his high draft status (#2 overall in the 2021 NFL draft), Zach Wilson has been a major disappointment for the Jets, having had just a terrible 2022 season. I doubt that the team will be comfortable trusting him to be the guy...

Re: Lions add to practice roster

That's interesting, B.C.Fan. I was hoping that they'd bring in some RB help as they lack real strength in that area. It's informative to see what a good larger RB can do for a team when you see what Brady Oliveira is providing in Winnipeg, or A.J. Ouellette in Toronto. In my opinion, Taquan Mizzell ...

Re: 2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

Boy, what a dismal start to the 2023 season for the Seahawks yesterday. What was supposed to be an improved offense was terrible, particularly in the second half. And what was supposed to be the strength of the defense--the pass defense--was also just terrible. The one part of the defense that had b...

Re: B.C. at Montreal Sept. 2, 2023

Because of the George Floyd incident and subsequent protests, the NFL changed the team name from Washington Redskins to Washington Commanders while the MLB changed the team name from Cleveland Indians to Cleveland Guardians. As a result, it looks like the CFL was "forced and obligated" to...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

Lots of juggling to happen still. Today's 53 man rosters are by no means the 53 man rosters teams will report for Wk 1 . Often teams make these initial decisions obased on how best to protect their assets. QBs are the best bets to go unclaimed because they have so much more to learn before they can...

Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

Nathan Rourke was waived today by the Jacksonville Jaguars on the NFL's deadline day for the 53-player initial rosters. This leaves the Jags with QB1 Trevor Lawrence and QB2 C.J. Beathard. If he clears waivers, Rourke is expected to be added to the team's practice squad. Teams have a short time to l...

2023-24 NFL/Seahawks Season Thread

To carry on with Robbie's thread from last season re the NFL and Seattle Seahawks, let's look at what's in store this coming season now that training camps have opened across the NFL. You'll recall that, at this time last year, things looked pretty dismal for the Seahawks, with Russell Wilson and Bo...

Nasty injury to Trevor Harris. A tibial plateau fracture. Almost certainly out for the season, as it will require surgery and several months recovery. https://regina.ctvnews.ca/mobile/riders-qb-trevor-harris-to-undergo-surgery-for-significant-leg-injury-following-loss-against-stamps-1.6481935 https:...

Re: Montreal vs. B.C. July 9, 2023

Did I see that right--only 15,565 in attendance? And after 33,000 for the opening home game. What explains fewer than half in attendance from home Game 1 to 2? The 15k number was incorrect. The actual number was 20,106, which is a 30% improvement over last year's 2nd home game. Yes, I see that they...
