Season at the half. awards, stats and fun.
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We are 3rd, but with games in hand it could be true. The difference between 3rd most and 3rd fewest is slim. Also nichols doesnt take risks throwing the ball away. He is not afraid to take a sack. But our OL sans wiley hasnt been as good as last year. Its had spurts of that same production, but also spurts where they struggle to pick up the blitz. Especially seems to be an issue in the red zone. Other teams seem to send pressure when we get to the red zone and leave us kicking a FG. -
I think stinks is too strong. That said, between dressler, lankford, denny and flanders its a no doubter. Id really like to see thrope get the return reps. Willy/nichols isnt the best comparison imo. But not playing hardick/bond + every one over kuale, hurl, plus roc over frederick as well as the ones you listed are pretty staggering. It takes a LOT for a vet with experience in the system to be replaced by an upstart player. At the same time, ritchie and the don were the same way with vets/team guys. I wonder if neufeld will be dealt/cut around the vet contract day/PR expansion point. Maybe cut and he joins the coaching staff.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
wbbfan replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
When is the last time the league stepped in and prevented a hiring? I cant recall it ever happening. I would expect its a rubber stamp type thing and they didnt really look at it much. My self not following the news didnt know any thing about this case till i saw it reported. Also, he would have had to have a meeting with the BOG and agree on a plan of action. For all we know the wheels on this started turning as soon as the tigersnots decided to make this move. In the end, the league did the right thing and this creep wasnt in the league. A wins a win. -
Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)

Randy! Randy! Randy for Commissioner! A firestorm of anxiety and never ending finger pointing has been averted. Earlier today a cross country shytestorm wind blew through all the provinces like the unpredictable winds at Tim Horton's field on this hiring controversy, but to the delight of all, the CFL, although wind blown, comes out on the right end of this decision. Nevermind Diversity is Strength, how about the strength shown in leadership today? Well done! Most outstanding commissioner. -

Id like to see the league step in and stop this. They shouldnt even let this guy in the country. -
Ya as long as their is such crazy money in it it will allways happen again. At this point idk who that would be from the boxing world. loma in a few years?

I dont think our execution is where it needs to be nor our ability to keep the pedal to the metal. To sweep this series either one team needs to be worst in the league, or the other needs to be the best. A split, especially if the lose is a little bitter could be great for pushing our team to the next level. The riders have scored 50+ and 40+ in their last two games. Its very, very uncommon to string such high scoring games back to back. While we have cruised along mostly at 30 ish points per game all season. Missing once, in our loss to calgary. That for the riders was with a lot of turn overs from the other teams. And i dont think their is much of a chance we repeat that pattern for them. I think we win big in regina the lose a close shoot out the following week. Course i hope we win and stomp the riders in both games.

The UFC is gonna have to give mcg an ownership stake. And the biggest contract in mma history. I was disappointing mcg didnt do more roberto duran style clinch fighting. But not surprised. Im glad its all over and will slowly die down. No one will come close to giving mcg a similar pay day in a 2nd boxing match, I dont think their is any chance it happens. Same as floyd in mma. I hope things can calm down now with the circus and we can get mcg vs aldo 2, mcg vs diaz 3, mcg vs khabib or any legit contender to his belt.

Scored it the same and ya some of the cards are head shakers. Maybe if you give floyd a 2 point round late. But with out the knock downs thats hard. I dont like floyd, i rather hate him. But i dont need to see any pro fighter get thrashed like that. Especially one in their 40s. The davis fight, and the depth on the card really reminds me why boxing is soo far behind mma. Despite some amazing talent. Davis was such a lil B*&^%, and after missing weight. And then to end the fight on 2 horrible illegal shots.

The life of a pro fighter. 6 of those guys still living off ramen noodles sleeping in the back room of their gym.

Idk if its been every fight but its been many fights and attempted fights in a row. Yeah reverse onus in jones case. Hes gotta go way above and beyond and some how prove hes 100% innocent, and even then itll be tough.

wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
wasnt sure if jeffcoat was eligible or not too bad i could see him having a massive 2nd half of the season. Randle is long over due for some consideration for modp as well. -
ah yes i knew we lost the last game wasnt sure if it was the last 2. Sat a lot of vets.
-
Ya even back in 01 iirc it was a 2-2 start, and maybe a 3rd loss before the mega win streak?

Just a fun look at our stat projections for the season, predicting award nominees from the team etc. Bombers on track to go 14-4. The top 3 in the west are 20-4, with bc and calgary having a game each to play before the half way mark. Crazy domination from the top 3. Nichols on track for 5.282 yards (which would be 4th or lower some how) 34 tds and 10 picks Harris on track for 1,140 rushing (career high) 8 tds (career high) and 980 yards receiving (durp) on 108 catches (4th highest in the league) Darvin adams on track for 1,294 yards on 98 catches with 10 tds. Thorpe (with games played factored in) is on track for 900+ yards. Randle on track for 60 tackles, 6 picks and 2 sacks. Heath on track for 62-8. And about 100 dropped picks Westerman 12 sacks, Nevis 30 tackles 2 sacks. Mo on track for 64 tackles 6 sacks 2 picks 6 forced fumbles 2 recoveries. Awards. ROTY, i believe the following are all eligible but im not sure. Jeffcoat, Poop, and Thorpe. Id give it to poop. Hes soo good hes forced us to change the ratio and start him over jake. We tried starting jake and still sorely missed the big guy. MODP, Mo. Nuff said. MOSTP, medlock. Only 32/39 this year. With a long of 57. 43.6 yard punting average, 65.4 yard kick off average. MOOL. Bond. MR.Bond. MOP, Another year mo deserves mention. Quietly one of the best defensive players in the league. Medlock, despite a more human year then last year. But in this, the (half) year of the QBs where we could see 6 qbs pass 5k passing yards, on a team truly lead by nichols im gonna go with nichols.

2011 was stated earlier in the thread, sounds right to me. Too lazy to look atm.

jones defence seems to be that he took a contaminated supplement, no word on what it is yet. His previous pop was contaminated **** pills. It is super old, and not close to the level new stuff is. But its appeal is the lining up with weight cutting then fighting. I dont doubt that jon jones is the same as hes allways been. He clearly hasnt learned from his previous mistakes and many 2nd chances. His best hope is that it was a single positive test and that the test before and after were clean. False positives do happen. Id say thats a fraction as good as mcgs chance of running circles around floyd for the entire fight this weekend. After that he could hope to prove it was a contaminated supplement that he took un wittingly. Which yes would probably still lead to a strip and year + suspension. And that is still a hail mary. I cant see him getting any lenience. I think they will make an example of him and hammer him harder then any pro athlete before. Jon jones is about to become the warning story told to young athletes who walk too close to the danger zone.

1 Darvin adams. 5-88 with 2 big big catches. 2 harris Churns and burns for over 100 yards combined. 6.5 YPC. 3 Randle 2 picks from the man on the island. HH denny with the circus catch, TWICE. Honorable mention to MO. Sack, forced fumble fumble recovery.

up and adam. up and atom. up and adam. /simpsons.

Do not like the move. One last chance for ogopogo i guess. Corney is 267 now so in a pinch he could probably play DT.

This is a chance for us to take one of the last steps out of the shadows of our dark era. To step further into the light of legitimate grey cup contention. To no longer be the team that plays down to others, or plays parts of games. Hope to blue go out and kick the snot out of the als tnite.
