    Eternal optimist got a reaction from TBURGESS in TSN willed the Bombers to Defeat   
    This team needed one to get away. If they were to walk into the West Final undefeated they'd have heads so big they'd be getting tested for steroids.
    On that 9-0 streak, there were certainly 2 games that fell into their lap:
    When TO's missed the PAT that would've tied it up and sent it to OT.
    When CAL at IGF looked to have the answer, only to have Kamar Jordan cough it up to Houston in spectacular fashion.
    You'll lose some along the way. The way I look at it, they probably should've lost the two mentioned above, but they were blessed by the Football Gods. So on that level they're 2-1.

    I think our last loss at home was 2019 against HAM, week 6? Teams lose, it happens. They didnt bring their A-game, kicking hurt them a bit but only side of the ball that really showed up was the D in my opinion.

    Yes. The game was Friday, August 9, 2019, almost exactly 3 years ago. The game was called with 2:41 left in the 3rd, the score was 17-10 in favour of Saskatchewan at the time.

    For those wondering, the CFL record for most penalties by a single team in a game is currently 27 penalties for 265 yards by Hamilton in 1992.

    For everyone saying Castillo is the answer he is kicking 78.3% right now for FGs. Legghio is 82.6% on the year.
    For converts, Sergio is 8/10 (80%) and Legghio is 25/29 (86%)
    Legghio also has a better punting average (47.4) compared to Castillo (38.5) though I'd attribute that more to our STs play being better than the Elks.
    He's no world beater, but Legghio is Cdn which matters, if you want to airlift someone else in, you have to factor in where you'd start another Canadian into those decisions.

    No YOU don't have that trust. Legs is having a real good year. it is a shame he screwed the pooch tonight but that doesn't define him or his career. He is having a very good year.

    If you wanna tell the world that you're dim and don't really understand football, you blame Legs, who's kicking 90+% while doing all 3 jobs (and punted and kicked off magnificently tonight). 
    Rare was the time people lauded him for the games we won with his kicks, but as soon as he misses one, people lose their ****. **** off.

    Eternal optimist reacted to Noeller in Kicking Discussion   
    Legghio is, if not the best kicker in the league (is he the only one doing all 3 jobs?) then he's second best after Paredes. Kicking 90+% on the season. **** anyone that wants to **** on him.

    Only time it has to land in the field for a rouge is on a kickoff.
    Could also angle a kick to go out the side of the endzone, doesn't have to go out the back.
    Have seen Prefontaine, O'Shea's former teammate for the Argos, set up for a FG style kick to coffin corner a kick and once to push a single through the side of the endzone.  Can kick it off the tee and put it out of bounds.
    Yeah I agree that they needed to bring someone in earlier.  We have Mourtada on the PR.  Should have brought in someone much better.  Maybe could now, but I'm saying there's likely more value at this point in working through this with Liegghio than having a midseason kicker camp, putting guys out there and cutting them every time they miss a kick.
