Eternal optimist

In the immortal words of George Carlin - "It's called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." (though I highly doubt he coined the phrase, he certainly said it in one of his comedy specials.

Gotta say I loved advance voting. Went for a walk with the missus tonight just to see how long the lines were lol.

Not gonna bother with a full report card, but I feel like when Jefferson seems invisible it is bc teams are keying in on him, allowing Jeffcoat to make the big plays... Just because you arent recording sacks doesnt mean you arent playing well.

Honestly, this year I have found it much more palatable to consider our 45+ field goal attempts as just really long punts that might be worth three points. We haven't been burnt on a missed FG return yet, but honestly it is only a matter of time till that happens. It just makes it that much harder on the coverage team.

Just go for it on every 3rd down instead of kicking from 35+ lol In all seriousness though, I think Legghio may be good if he can get out of this slump. I would keep Crapigna too out of necessity despite his suckage, he is the best of a bad bunch, assuming his abilities remain the same post-injury. I get having nerves, but last night Mourtada missed from areas that should be automatic... In a ghost town of a stadium. I can't imagine him kicking better on the road in a packed stadium, or dealing well with the weight of our own fanbase burdening him at home.

I'm just saying I could volunteer and go 0/3 on FGs. Volunteering would mean we'd save $$$ whatever we paid him to play.

Hey, c'mon now... Give Suitor a break, he's new to broadcasting too and rookies make mistakes. He's only been with TSN since.. 1995?!?!?!?

Also... Kudos to the coaching staff for keeping egos in check. All that extracurricular junk after the whistle, you would've thought EDM was the 5-1 team last night...

I'd say HH to the O-line... Had a good night rushing (134 yards on 21 attempts), only sack they gave up I'd blame Collaros on for hanging in there too long ...and the offense as a whole only had 20 yards in penalties.

In fairness to the Elks, I haven't seen footage of an Elk tackling anything in the wild. David Attenborough would be proud.

Just imagine him playing on a team with Collaros and our lord and savior Brandon Banks in their prime.

Here be the highlights if you want.

Screw that, just punt on first down to set even more defensive records. Bonus is it gives Leggio extra practice 😂

I hope Harris throws for 900 yards and 0 TDs in this game and still manages to lose lol.

I think ppl are unfairly comparing his record for PATs with prior kickers before it was moved back to the 35. Besides... Other teams are having struggles kicking too... Look what happened to HAM last week.

How about that time there was a thunderstorm delay for like 2 hours against the Ti-Cats and then when they finally came out to play we absolutely spanked them https://www.cfl.ca/2016/08/04/recap-winnipeg-37-hamilton-11/

Adding to the ridiculousness of this is the fact that his Wikipedia page currently lists him as a free agent lol. Dude is 45.

Remember this game?!?!? At the time, my mom and dad had their own tickets, as well as my dad's work had a pair of company seats. Most of the time the company seats went for schmoozing potential clients and stuff. However my dad had said I could have 'em. I was pumped because they were pretty good seats (40 yard line, right behind the away team - close enough when there was a big hit you could hear it). Game day comes - get a call from Pops - someone's in town... no dice on game tickets. I was super disappointed, had rearranged shifts at work and stuff for it. Being the nice guy my dad was, he bought me a pair of tickets to the game anyways (tbh, looking back, I could've done that myself, but for some reason as a kid I always thought Bomber games were more expensive than they were). So - we were in! Took my then - girlfriend at the time - it was looking to be a stinker, but I convinced her to stay and boy was it a good one. I will never forget the stadium announcer - "For those of you joining us from the parking lot..." place went absolutely bonkers, especially when the comeback was on. Fast forward to now - we are married and have happily been season ticket holders since 2011. At games, we always stay right to the bitter end, because it's the CFL and you never know. TLDR; Yes, yes I do remember that game.

Yep. I remember that. An announcement nobody wanted that camefrom board member Jim Bell which just added insult to injury.

But... I've got a fevah... And the only prescription... Is more cowbell (and opposing players running around not knowing the playcall)

Alright well, won't be the first time I was dead wrong on this forum and certainly won't be the last. I'll own it though and say I stand corrected.

Tbh RE: Harris ejection, it seems there are two sets of rules for players... If you are an All Star (i.e. Harris) you aren't gonna get ejected. What he did definitely warranted it. Reminds me of Vernon Adams Jr. Attempting to hit Bighill with his helmet last year when Montreal came back against us and we lost in spectacular fashion (but also clinched a playoff spot)

He also is tied for the most games played (6) and has the most attempts (31) though bc of our stellar defense...

I mean, if you want to go full butterfly effect, they may have only lost the Banjo Bowl by 2 touchdowns. Hell, they may have even scored double digits.

People on here rip on Nelson alot but there are two things he does more consistently than anyone else (1) Catch it consistently (2) Catch it in the air (which helps with No Yards calls, especially the 15 yard variety
