  1. Go Bombers
    Eternal optimist reacted to GCn20 in Week 9 - Lions @ Blue Bombers - GDT   
    Bombers give notice to the league. Check. Walleye biting like crazy..33 so far today. Check. Just need the Riders to lose, preferably in heartbreaking fashion, and my August long checklist is rounded out.

    If I'm a knob gobbler for putting my faith in our coach and am in turn rewarded with a 5 score win then frankly I'll slap on some knee-pads every week and polish that big ol' wrench with a smile on my face 🥵 It's called being ride-or-die haha, a real team player
    Is there room to improve? Hell yeah... and that should be a scary notion to other teams.

    3 for sure...which basically mitigated any return...Grant is so valuable you dont notice until he is missing....we have lost the field position game within the game since he was out save for the 1 game we let Parker do it...If he not back in next week thats just lame...plus the fact he is valuable on defense and is great on kick coverage...not to mention probably the best pure tackler on the team next to Wilson

    Anyone else notice how much McCrae struggled with kick return duties yesterday? He bobbled a couple of 'em, and although we got away with it, Grant can't come back soon enough.

    I agree, he is a real nice change of pace from Brady. He gets a crease he can make some big gains. As a receiver I call him just ok.

    1. Zach - Passes on point all night
    2. Lawler - Just tears it up against BC everytime he plays them
    3. Jefferson for taking Evans' lunch money - again.
    HH - Brandon Alexander pick was a big momentum killer

    would love to play but ineligible for the next prize is ok with me, since I won the first round and am kind of a big deal and all 😏

    Oh great. At this rate there’s time for me to lose 3 times this year.

    So from the CFL record book:
    Most shutouts in a season:
    4 - Saskatchewan (1938), Winnipeg (1941)
    Since 1958,  3 - Calgary (1967)
    Calgary was also the last team to register two shoutouts in a season, in 1970
  15. Thanks
    Eternal optimist reacted to TrueBlue4ever in Leos at the Elks   
    I will say that before the first shutout against Edmonton, BC had not registered a shutout since 1977, and Edmonton had not been shut out since 1976. And when the Bombers shut out BC in 2021, it was BC’s first time being shut out in over 50 years. So even one shut out a year seems pretty rare. 
  16. Thanks

    I’ll see what I can dig up. I don’t recall a team getting two shut outs or being shut out twice in the same season. I would say fairly confidently that I wouldn’t imagine a team shutting out the same team twice in one season before. But I’ll do a dive into the history books and see what I can  find (bet I’ll find more info in the NFL history books).

    I mean the easiest solution is dont take a dumb taunting penalty to back things up further in the first place... They may have been able to just QB kneel then

    In ZC8's entire Bombers tenure, I have never seen him under duress like he has been this year. I don't know enough to know if it's on the OL or something else, but it is a MAJOR problem. The first half of that LOLK's game was infuriating and so obvious that even Suitor picked up on it.... so there is definitely a problem.

    Our o-line has been worse this season, in both pass protection and run blocking. No one with a set of eyes can deny it.

    Why would Edmonton trade away one of the few impact players that they have?
