Ottawas defence would have been better because he would likely be the DC as well. Dyce is a good guy, but Mace is a coach. He never has that deer in the headlights look. Ottawa made the wrong choice 2 years ago.AngeloV wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 1:27 amScooter McCray wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 6:16 pm I hear you.

Impossible to say. I think Mace is a good coach, just not ready to anoint him as a real difference maker yet.
Yes Ian football is bigger than hockey: it's a strange truth that the Bombers have consistently great and well-earned support, and the Jets are #1 in the NHL this season, yet NOT selling out their hockey arena (like most arenas < 20,000 seats)...go figure.ARGOFanIan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 11:41 am Going with Riders today.... but I think its a coin toss.... Nice to see AJ have a good game last week. Bombers remind me of the 80's New York Islanders.... They have forgotten how to lose... Should get good TV ratings but too bad it has to go up against Hockey ... I would think out west this is bigger than Hockey... which says something about our league.... should be great day for CFL football....
Not sure about bigger than hockey but at least close there (the Jets could play 3 games in a week in a home-stand and how many tickets do they sell?). Compare that to Ottawa & Toronto, or Calgary & Edmonton where the CFL is considered minor league by most of the populace., and they can't sell as many CFL tickets with way bigger demographic to work with.TrueBlueGuy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 8:17 pmYes Ian football is bigger than hockey: it's a strange truth that the Bombers have consistently great and well-earned support, and the Jets are #1 in the NHL this season, yet NOT selling out their hockey arena (like most arenas < 20,000 seats)...go figure.ARGOFanIan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 11:41 am Going with Riders today.... but I think its a coin toss....
