Eternal optimist

Wiecek can sling mud from his ivory tower all he wants, I'll be watching the Blue & Gold from my seats with the rest of the city of Winnipeg.

I'm pretty sure it's -3 points for Edmonton if we block an Edmonton field goal through their own uprights.

^ This. Also, for those that have workplaces that allow it, highly recommend taking the Friday following a Thursday night home game off. Makes for some awesome long weekends and means you don't end up leaving the stadium with 1:40 left because you have to "get up early".

Wpg vs. Ham Ti-cats are pigs that Need more lipstick than some of Riderville faithful

Doing this is totally allowed by the rules, and yet there is a consensus its a dirty move... yet there is no opportunity cost for the team doing it. Why not? I mean it makes the other team have to shuffle their roster if they think the player is legitimate - and if not, you get a swing at a potential gem on another teams' PR.

A receiver from the west I am, My career was to be a grand slam, Drafted eleventh overall, During a Bomber overhaul, From Regina Ram to retired lamb

Isn't that why he's on defense? I thought cover guys were just WRs that can't catch.

According to CFL.ca Richards career stats is 1 catch (in 2015 no less) for 12 yards. I guess quit while you're ahead?

I know Hurl has been a bit of a whipping boy, but I thought he's filled in quite well in Wild's absence. Obviously Wild is better, but it's football, players get hurt. I think the idea of moving Corney doesn't show the MLB position much respect - it isn't as simple as just changing where you line up on the snaps, it's an entirely different position to play with different responsibilities.

It was part of the 2016 rules update.

I know we're trying to keep pace with B.C. in the standings, but cheering for a Rider win just feels wrong.

A disincentive is certainly an interesting idea, as it would prevent "phishing". Good coaches would still be able to spot incorrect calls and prevent their team from getting ousted by the refs. I think the big problem with any further changes to the system is too many changes in a short span of time means you don't get to see the impact the previous changes had made, also it'll make us look even more "bush league", and confuse some of the more layman fans.

Surely Floyd, you jest As SpeedFlex27, Was happy with win

I'm pretty sure in the final 3 minutes of a game, the receiving team can't elect to take the ball at the 35. Campbell couldn't elect to take the ball at the 35 - even if he wanted to.

2017-08-04 Best defense? Good O, O'Shea out-coaches something, Money Medlock? Game.

C'mon Ti-cats, do us a favour and do something other than suck and lose.

Only nitpick is I find the chat is slow... might be just me though.

1. Chris Randle - fumble recovery right when we needed it and has been consistent contributor, despite defensive injuries elsewhere. 2. T.J. Thorpe - Runs hard after the catch. 3. Medlock - Mr. automatic, had some booming kicks, kicked the game-winner, and a pair of rouges off kickoffs that ended up factoring in when it came down to the wire. HH - Quincy McDuffie for idiotically giving up that rouge in the final 3 minutes. Having the game tied made Ottawa play more aggressive on their own last series (going for the win) and ended up shooting themselves in the foot

I was gonna say, if Jeffcoat keeps it up, Ogopogo's days are numbered. Which is a shame because that'd be an awesome nickname.

Coaches of the league were fishin' Free first downs off PI calls, their mission, A new commish named Randy, Claimed delays weren't dandy, One challenge means less repetition

This is the very definition of victim shaming!

I'm okay with them have Roc as an enthusiastic, hard-working, run-through-walls-for-the-team guy for us... As long as he's running through walls on the practice roster, that is.

I would agree with you, except Hamilton has looked absolutely horrendous so far this season to the point of being non-competitive in all phases. Ottawa on the other hand has only 1 more win than Hamilton, but they are much better than 1-4-1 (as opposed to Hamilton at 0-6). A loss Friday would bring alot of Weiceks and other naysayers out of the woodwork, and the talks of a .500 team will begin anew.

Cautiously optimistic about this one, but this is a trap game for the Bombers if I've ever seen one.

Obligatory mention that if Nichols holds for field goals, we'd be able to open the book up on fake field goals.
