Interesting stat. I've been a diehard Bomber fan for decades. I'm currently on vacation in the Azores but I made the time to listen to this past weekend's game (5 hr difference from Winnipeg) much to my wife's chagrin. But I tuned out after the third quarter because I was so frustrated with their play including the business of not receiving the ball to start the 2nd half. (I think Doug Brown thought the same.). I'll still be there to the end but I lost faith in O'Shea and his rostering and other mind-numbing decisions when he kept that ex-US Navy Seal, Damien Jackson, on the roster for a whole season. What a waste of a roster spot! End of rant. By the way they make some excellent white wines on Pico Island. Cheers. 😊

Agree with both of you. Wheatfall looks good at times but has been very inconsistent and, from what I've seen, is not a very good blocker. And, he looks like a blade of wheat, legs too thin for the rest of his body. I don't think that it's much of a surprise that with the return of Wilson (and Stearns) and the insertion of Mitchell, the receiving corps is looking quite decent, IMO. Throw in a healthy Collaros and the opposition now have to show a little more "respect" for our guys.

The Bombers have the best looking unis in the league when they are actually "blue and gold" as they were yesterday. Whoever in the Bomber office thought that "blue and blue (pants)" was a winner is not a winner. Sorry SF27, for some reason your post did not appear on my screen until after I posted.

That does seem to be a lack of practice sessions. I wonder whether anyone has looked into how the other eight teams are practicing.

That TSN panel especially when Kate B. Is there is absolutely awful. And, the ex-players including Stegal are embarassing themselves with thise absolutely stupid antics. I turn to another channel at halftime.

It was a very quick Google search (and it is the Internet so you might take these numbers with a grain of salt) but the World Cup (final and overall) appears to beat the Super Bowl. https://the18.com/en/soccer-news/world-cup-vs-super-bowl-by-numbers-viewers-revenue-tv-ratings There is no doubt in my mind that soccer (football to those purist snobs) is more popular world wide and it's gaining traction in Canada. And, it's not just kids of immigrants who are taking up the sport. So, can these kids and their parents be attracted to the CFL? I don't think that what the league office offered up yesterday will do the trick.

Although my initial reaction to these rule and field changes was "Huh?" (and that’s putting it mildly), I'll hold off a bit before passing judgement, give myself some time to read other folks' thoughts and think about it myself. However, I have read that the CFL grand poohbahs did not consult Football Canada, U Sports and the league’s players and coaches about these changes. And, of course, they did not consult CFL fans. Did these tall foreheads in the Centre of the Universe not think this thing through or are they playing 3-dimensional chess while the rest of us are playing checkers? I think it may be the former.

And, I've heard that he may also bring in the forward pass.

And without any meanful consultation with the fans (the folks who freight the bill)? Of course, this is the C(sometimes Confused)FL

If you think that O'Shea, the HC, has no say in building the roster.......can I interest you in some marsh-land out near Oak Hammock?

How do you win a game in the CFL without a QB? Well, I watched one unfold yesterday. Take the W but that offense was an embarrassment. On to the next one with, hopefully, Collaros at the helm. With a little less than six minutes to go in the 3rd, the Bombers were 3rd and 5 from about the Ottawa 49. They lined up to punt in a different formation than usual. There were two guys back with Sheahan and when he punted the ball, they were behind him, onside I believe. It was a shorter, sky-high punt and those two guys were headed towards where the ball was to land. The Ottawa returner mishandled the ball but retained possession after a bit of a scramble. I was pleasantly surprised that the Bombers attempted a bit of "trickery". Question: Did those onside players have to give the returner 5 yards or, if lucky, could one of them have caught/recovered the ball for a Bomber 1st down?

Another jacka$$ play call.

69 and 53👍👍

This offence is offensive and embarassing. So predictable. So high school-ish. Yikes!

WTF was that QB draw about?
