  2. What happened to that rider fan who was mad that a poster on MBB suggested that the ALS could POSSIBLY beat the riders.

  3. Fun Fact, Edmonton got upset at home in 89 after going 16-2. Anything is possible.

  4. After seeing these picks I feel like I need to make a case for Fogg as rookie of the year. Don't get me wrong, I think Loffler is amazing, and the fact that he's Canadian is just awesome. But I would argue that Fogg has been as much as, or more of an impact on D, than Loffler. He's playing boundary halfback as a rookie, which is already impressive, but he's also had 4 picks and 2 forced fumbles, many coming at big, big times in games. He's been picked on a bit by opposing offences, no argument from me there, but he's won the battle more often than not. And how about leading the LEAGUE in punt return average as a rookie? Never mind the 4 TDs that may have been, but weren't... this guy is dangerous every time he touches the ball on special teams. This particular award is not about Canadian vs American. I asked myself, would I vote for Loffler over Fogg is he was American? The answer was no, so I took Kevin Fogg. I repeat this is not to take anything away from Loffler because he has been a critical part of the team's turnaround. Kevin Fogg has just been more outstanding.

    2017 CFL Draft order

    If the Riders, Als and Argos all end the season with 5 wins, what would the draft order be? The Bombers have the Argos first pick and BC has the Als first pick so I am curious who would actually get the first overall pick.

    If Als win this they will tie the Argos w/l record and I believe we get the first overall. Yup Tor beat Mtl 30-17 Mtl beat Tor 38-11 Tor beat Ssk 30-17 Ssk beat Tor 29-11

  9. Over the first half of the season, Fogg was my MOR, but I think Loffler has overtaken him now. Imo Fogg's play has regressed on D.

  17. I guess we must relent - everything the Bombers do, have done, have thought about doing or may do in the future, is a failure and worthy of shame. Aardvarking and Tburging - it takes a special kind of poster to become an adverb.

  18. Dickenson stepped into the easier position in the league to be a head coach. Championship calibre team, best qb in the league, depth coming out their asses AND a damned fine ex-head coach to guide him if he needs it sitting in the GM chair. A lot different than the situation O'Shea stepped into. No depth, no NIs, very little high end talent, wet behind the ears qbs, rookie GM, team with a bad reputation making it hard to actually get people to come here... yeah wonder why things weren't all sunshine and roses from the get go.

  20. More loose ends... CFL.ca News - Staff 2nd Half Standings: Calgary 7-0 Winnipeg 5-2 Saskatchewan. 4-2 BC. 3-3 Edmonton. 3-3 Ottawa. 3-3 Hamilton. 2-4 Montreal. 1-5 Toronto. 1-7 ?Opposing teams have been feasting on the Argos all season, opposition players being recognized for their play at the expense of Toronto. Toronto has the dubious honour of having 8 players being acknowledged for as a Shaw CFL top performer following a game against the Argos. The roll call began in Week 1 when Simoni Lawrence was honoured after he helped Hamilton to its rout in Toronto’s home opener. Trevor Harris, Kevin Fogg, Clarence Denmark, Patrick Watkins, Solomon Elimimian, Jamill Smith, and Joe McKnight, all followed. ?1K Club: Last week, Calgary’s Marquay McDaniel (1,074) and Ottawa’s Ernest Jackson (1,024) eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the season. McDaniel and Jackson grew the list of receivers with over 1000 yards to nine, joining: Adarius Bowman (1,609), Derel Walker (1,464), Chris Williams (1,246), Emmanuel Arceneaux (1,186), Bryan Burnham (1,151), Naaman Roosevelt (1,095) and Greg Ellingson (1,100). The next receivers looking to join the club this week include: Andy Fantuz (938), Brad Sinopoli (928) and Nik Lewis (901). ?Ottawa is looking to become only the second team in CFL history to have four receivers with 1,000+ receiving yards in back-to-back seasons. They could also become the first team with the same set of receivers (Chris Williams, Greg Ellingson, Ernest Jackson and Brad Sinopoli) to record 1,000+ yards for the same team in consecutive years. ?Toronto native Jerome Messam still leads the league in rushing yards (1,051) and is the only running back to rush for over 1,000 yards. Messam has added 470 receiving yards on top of his rushing total. Toronto’s Brandon Whitaker is second in the league with 855 rushing yards and Winnipeg’s Andrew Harris is third with 816 yards. However, Whitaker (1,352) and Harris (1,327) as well as Edmonton’s John White (1,105) have 1,000+ yards from scrimmage. ?CFL - Game Notes - Winnipeg’s 6-2 road record is their best since 2001 when they ended up 7-2. - Ottawa is 5-3 on the road and will finish above .500 away two years in a row; the last time they did that was in 1972 & 1973. - Montreal has lost the TOP battle in 9 of their last 10 games and their 121 net yards last week was their second lowest since 1996. - If Vernon Adams starts at QB for Montreal, he will be the 9th different QB starter for them in the 64 games since Calvillo’s last start (Neiswander, Marsh, Smith, Crompton, Brink, Glenn, Cato, Bridge and Adams). Adams would the third debut QB starter in 2016. - Four of the five West Division clubs will finish with better records than they had last year (2015: 43-47 .478; 2016: 49-30-1 .619). - Toronto has now gone 252:48 of play without having the lead at any point; they have lost wire-to-wire in the last four games. - There are two players on pace to reach 200 points, Justin Medlock (208) and Rene Paredes (186). Chris Milo’s pace is for 199. - Saskatchewan’s 4-game winning streak is their longest since a 7-game winning run in mid-2014- If Ricky Ray starts it will be Toronto’s fifth week-to-week change in starting QB this season. - Joe McKnight ran for 150 yards in his first career start last week; he reached 100 yards on his 11th carry of the game. Josh Bartel and the Rider punt cover team forced Toronto to start three drives inside their own 10-yard line last week.

  23. Misc. loose end pieces... Kirk Penton's 'the Insider:' CFL coaches and managers give their anonymous thoughts on what they’re talking about behind closed doors: One of Toronto's problems is we've all figured out match coverage. As coaches, we have to evolve or we lose our edge ... We're going to catch B.C. at a good time. Injuries have really hurt Wally's secondary I expected a suspension for (Jason) Maas or the loss of a draft pick for the Eskimos after they didn't wear the mics. As for the good of the CFL, that was way worse than what the Riders did with their roster. The CFL depends heavily on TSN and advancing media deals to get a younger audience, and that was just totally ignorant on their part ... Get this officiating crap right. If he fixes it and fixes all of these (bleeping) replay delays and mistakes, our commissioner will be a hero ... Maybe we should take a chance on Duron Carter. If he gets his head out of his (bleep), Carter can be a difference maker. I might talk to (our GM) about taking the risk. I always like coaching guys with something to prove ... When it comes to the Bombers, Lions and Eskimos, the last team I'd want to face in a do or die game is the Eskimos. They have championship DNA and experience. They've found a run game with two different running backs, and (Mike) Reilly is the toughest quarterback in the league. That's scary in a one game takes all. Odell (Willis), (Phillip) Hunt, (Marcus) Howard and (Almondo) Sewell equal problems. Against Winnipeg, if you take care of the football you probably win. Against B.C., that's a tough spot for a first year starter to be in. I'd take my chances ... I know the Argos are terrible right now, but I'm not the only one who would like to coach there. They have great ownership, a new stadium, and Jim Barker always gets good players. Their problem isn't players ... Good for Jacques (Chapdelaine) if that's what he felt he needed to do. However, we've seen what's happened to Toronto when they let go a less talented trio. There are no real weapons for two young quarterbacks ... I think Winnipeg's going to finish second. Their defence is (bleeping) flying around and creating turnovers. (Paul LaPolice) is using (Matt) Nichols the right way. They can run the football good, and they have the best kicker in our league. And now their bye is coming at the perfect time. They can rest and get their bodies better before they play Ottawa back to back ... The precedent for (Duron) Carter and (Kenny) Stafford was set with what Toronto did. Plus those two carry huge price tags for the headaches they provide. It was time for Montreal to move on. Carter will get another shot, but that team will need strong coaches and an even stronger locker-room ... We get fired as coaches. GMs get fired, too. But what happens with our refs and our head of officiating? Does saying 'Sorry about (bleeping) up again' somehow make it OK? If we coached like command centre reviews (bleep), we would never get another coaching job ... My guess is (Duron) Carter ends up in Saskatchewan ... I'm not the only coach with a bonus for finishing first or with a bonus for a home playoff game. Most of us have those kinds of bonuses. When replay blew that call in the Ottawa game, I wondered how much money they might have cost (Kent) Austin ... I am guessing the Argos and Alouettes will both take hard runs at (Marc) Trestman. If he goes back to Montreal I see Toronto looking at (Jim) Popp as an option ... Drew Willy or Ricky Ray? Probably Ricky. Drew is either struggling or just not good. Around QB coaching circles, he's not good enough ... Screw long term. After a while, survival teaches us to coach year to year. Even though he's going to be 35 or 36, I would pay (Darian) Durant and try to get another good year out of him. But that's not (Chris) Jones. He has the balls to go with a young guy if Durant's agent asks for too much ... If I had to bet on who was going to be GM and head coach in Montreal next year, the answer is easy: Marc Trestman. They'll back up the Brinks truck for him, and it'll be up to Marc at that point.

  26. Yeah it's not the stamps have ever took a half of football off during this season.....nope, not once, or even twice, or even ever!!! You do realize that a coach can only do so much right? You can't actually stop players from taking penalties, or not playing properly for 4qrts. Well I guess you could, but you'd need a much bigger roster. This thread is hilarious. Dickenson isn't the greatest coach of all time. He was legitimately handed a Champion calibre team. It's not hard to see why he's been so successful. MOS took a very different path to get to success, it being different doesn't devalue it. The amount of time it took doesn't devalue it. It's just different.

  29. Games this week without the Bombers... Hamilton at Ottawa - Short game: The last Ottawa/Hamilton game lasted two hours and 36 minutes, making it the second fastest game of the season. The fastest game took place in Week 11 between BC and Toronto (2:30). Toronto at Calgary Montreal at Saskatchewan Edmonton at BC ?‍?Hamilton - no Collaros, no-no Banks Ottawa - can clinch first place if they beat Hamilton this week (but not if their game is a tie) Toronto - Ricky Ray is back. Ok, enough about that. Calgary - No Deron Mayo, but apparently the win/loss record is more important than subbing players going forward?!? Montreal - Vernon Adams Jr, will be welcomed to the CFL by the Riders Saskatchewan - Fun times for now.. And the the game of the week...Edmonton at BC CFL News #BCLions must win by five points to take the season series w/ #Esks and remain in West Division during the playoffs. - @FifthQtr #CFL The Eskimos will have the edge on Saturday night because of experience and quarterback play, but B.C. has the big play capability at wide receiver against a suspect Edmonton secondary. (Chris) Rainey has the ability to change any game, but in a close game Sean Whyte will likely be the difference ... -Edmonton comes into this game having scored 40+ points in back-to-back games for the first since 2004 (Jul 16-30/04). - BC ‘s loss last week gave them their first 2-game losing streak of 2016; they had followed their first 4 losses with a win the next week. *The last three BC losses have come by a combined margin of just 9 points (by 4, 2 & 3 points to Western rivals). *Hamilton and Ottawa had 5 lead changes in a game that was the second fastest this year – played in just 2:36. ?‍?Which QB plays it out for their respective teams? And who should or shouldn't? Durant - yes, he can at least get the Riders the lead before they look at other QBs BL MItchell - no. He should start, get in rythym, then Tate should come in. But are they thinking too much about records? ?‍?There would be nothing finer than a complete upset of the Stampeders by Toronto, or anybody. I'm getting tired of all the greatest team of all time bullshirt. CFL - Low penalties: Last week’s games averaged a season-low 13 penalties per game. There you go - Friday Night Football starts it off...

    High ranking people for sure, and the debt was a massive factor (Goldman-Sachs actually received a warning from the feds about the debt deal it arranged for this sale) but most of their jobs were redundant now. Wright was brought on-board to help break into Ontario (and other Canadian markets to a lesser extent) but his main mission was accomplished. Most of his job could now be done by someone else from a central location. The need for boots on the ground, so to speak, was finished. Zelaznik & Berger had similar roles in Asia & Europe and met the same fate. Given that WME IMG has their hands in pretty much every type of media, they probably already have people like Maloney, Muncey & Pollack on staff. Cook is really the only guy I'm suprised by. There were other moves related to this that happened in the last couple weeks (the Brazillian boss left as did Dave Sholler, their long time PR exec) so either the writing was on the wall or they had been informing staff that there was going to be layoffs.

  31. Loffler could of bit on run and not been in position to make pick. Gauthier forced Rainey to cut to inside and run into own guy. The Fogg one was due to pressure. Always say gift but there is under lining reason why those plays were made not the just handed ball to Bombers.
