  4. Bombers at Ottawa

    I was 40 when cancer took my dad and I really struggled until I went for help. In retrospect, it had some positive outcomes because when the light of my life, my wife and soulmate, died at age 49, it left me to grieve and to help my teenage daughter and 20 year old son through it. I wish I could say I breezed through it, but I did not. The awareness and processes I learned in order to cope with my dad's death helped a lot, but these were the darkest days of my life. A friend who is a doctor wrote a prescription to help me sleep  as I was barely getting 3-4 hours per night, but I was scared to fill the prescription as there were moments when I was so overwhelmed with the pain and emptiness that I might have been tempted to take them all at once. On top of that, I had to pretend I was OK so that the kids wouldn't have to fear losing me too. And go to work.

    These are the things kids never see, we think our dad's are the most invincible people on earth.

    It's not me but, my mom lost her dad, her best friend and grandpa all in the same month. Life can be that sucker punch in the face, everyone's got their own way of picking themselves up and keeping strong.

    He hasn’t practiced or been with the team at all in close to 6 weeks. 
     

    Id be surprised if he played Saturday. 

    I hope you're wearing your " I **** my drawers,I'm so surprised" shorts. I'll happily **** mine too if he plays. We should absolutely crush Ottawa this Saturday.

    They were also anticipating snap count....and at times to me looked early...U saw T.O switch up their cadences...and basically nullified them and caused some penalty issues

     

    I'm not overly concerned with our aging guys on the O-line...a good tech sound O-lineman who hasn't had injury issues in career (Bryant never has...Yosh few if any) can play a long time...Biggie is the guy we need to be trying to groom a new guy....he has been fine so far...not a dominating difference maker, but I will let season pan out and see what we look like in Oct....and what he did....he has been playing more out of the box this yr, or at times a pure rusher....so hard to tell where he is at in regards to losing a step....tho when we had turn overs and the defense flipped direction to run blocks...he didnt look like he lost a step in my opinion...still fast for a bigger body

    I think Biggie is gonna be the guy to let the office know when he's done, it'll give a good heads up and enough time to build and groom a MLB.

    The age thing is kind of misleading and is kinda skewwed a bit. 

    Bryant's age of 37 effects the average quite a bit but he hasn't shown any let down...and really if he didnt get screwwed out of the MOL in 2019...he would be on a streak of winning it. Mike Benson at 36 also brings it up, but as strictly a long snapper...big deal...We have ZC at 34... and who is saying he looks old and declining??...we may see that at 37..38....Trevor Harris age range....but again that brings up the average...With Biggie and Neuf at that age too but where has their play hurt us?

    Briggs and Yosh at 33..One is a role player...other an all-star....Castillo is 32 with the Jeffs....and who wouldn't want them on their squad...If all 3 were to be dumped they would be starting on a new team the following week...and Jake...who I think is on his last legs this yr and will be done...and hopefuly his role scaled down in favour of Lawson

    Rest of the lineup is 31 and under with the majority in the 23 to 27 age range.....old and aging is way over blown

    Bryant had one of his worst games, if not worst vs BC. The Bombers as a whole had a terrible game vs BC, I give Bryant a mulligan after that game vs his undeniable, rock solid consistency.

    Only 12K in TO last night to watch the defending GC champs in. a prime matchup.  Frustrating that CFL can’t seem to make inroads in that market. 

    I was genuinely excited to watch this game, Toronto fan base pisses me off. There is no excuse on earth why one of the biggest cities in North America can't put 25k fans into that beautiful facility.
