Bah. Forgot they both still have a game in hand on us. Ah well, c'est la vie.

For those less mathematically inclined, we can clinch under any of the following scenarios: 1. Win 1 of our remaining games. 2. Saskatchewan has at least 2 ties or one loss in their remaining games 3. The Bombers and Riders both have a tie in one of their remaining games each respectively.

Okay just for arguments' sake here is the current status of the entire first round of the 2019 CFL draft: 1. Shane Richards (OL) - Has played 9 games so far in 2021. 2. Jesse Gibbon (OL) - Played 9 games so far in 2021. 3. Mathieu Betts (DL) - 8 games in 2021, 8 tackles 4. Drew Desjarlais (OL) - 10 games in 2021 5. Jonathon Kongbo (DL) - 10 games in 2021, 5 tackles, 1 special teams tackle 6. Justin McInnis (WR) - 2 games in 2021, 2 catches on 3 targets for 17 yards, far as I can tell he's not injured 7. Alex Fontana (OL) - Currently not playing in 2021 due to personal reasons (source: https://3downnation.com/2021/07/05/former-first-round-draft-pick-alex-fontana-will-not-play-for-redblacks-in-2021/) 8. Hergy Mayala (WR) - 9 games in 2021, 23 catches on 42 targets, 238 yards, 0 TDs. So, I mean most of the guys above are contributing to their teams. I'm not a big trenches guy, so it's hard to say how good Richards and Gibbon are, but seeing as they've started every game for each team respectively, I'd assume they're valuable. Only ones that appear currently to be a bit of busts are McInnis and Fontana, but jury's still out on them, as it appears SSK is still developing McInnis, and Fontana may just be a short term thing as his absence is for personal reasons.

Certainly not our best showing. Good teams find a way, even when not doing their best overall.

JAKE THE SNAKE!

Atta boy Derel "don't hit me" Walker

Could you at least be polite and get the rouge

Bailey is my 1st star in this game. Dude has been a beast.

Edm coach just wants to watch a good QB get hit illegally in slow mo so bad he's willing to waste a timeout and challenge to do it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe we 'clinch' when it becomes mathematically impossible for us to miss the playoffs.

So do we just assume 1 illegal kick out of bounds per game

PAT is good what what

No you.

He WAS the worst though.

The real question is what is the signal for Illegal Participation by a Designated International and has it ever actually been called.

Contract structure: 50K flat + $500 per sack and $1,000 per hit he takes lol

Yeah, I get that it's his job and all, but considering the team is aware of his struggles, you'd think they'd have playcalling that helps line it up for him a bit more. 4/10 on the year is still atrocious, but realistically the team isn't giving him much help in that respect. The days of Money Medlock are behind us now. As for trading for Whyte/Ward - I think it'd be a good idea short-term. However, this regime has consistently shown commitment to long-term success, I just can't see them airlifting someone in - and certainly not for a first-round draft pick. Even if that pick ends up being the last in the draft.

Wasn't flashy, but in fairness to McKnight he caught everything that was thrown to him (4/4). Wasn't really put in a position to make a big play either on most of the throws, from what I recall.

Oh man, IGF would be so loud if we could clinch the West against BC on the Oct 23. Welcome to the jungle.

That's odd... I was hoping we WOULD host the West Final... That's odd... I was hoping we WOULD host the West Final...

Best trade ever - we got rid of LaPo and Nichols massive contract in exchange for N O T H I N G Didn't even have to give up a 2-for-1 Winnipeg restaurant coupon.

This is the most LaPo game to ever LaPo a Lapo.

So with Monday being a holiday, do Redblacks players get paid 1.5x their normal wage? If that is the case, and the Bombers only earned 1x on Friday that is almost criminal

Okay I am no expert, but why would they have a former DB as a receiver coach?

Unfortunately every fan base (including my own - Blue and Gold) has its share of jerks. It is no different than any other demographic.. There will always be bad ones, not much you can do about it. I cheer for my team, but even in opposing stadiums I do so respectfully. There are more important things in life than football (or any sport, for that matter).
