  1. What an awful penalty to take. Game killer.
  2. D looks like it is winding down. Offence hasn't sustained a drive in the second half and it is showing.
  3. Did the Argos even come out of their locker room at half time?
  4. We got away with that one...
  5. Needs moar horns.
  6. Just as I finish complimenting their playcalling, the Als go and do that on 2nd and short.
  7. Nice playcall on that draw. Argos looked totally caught out.
  8. It's rare that we'd sweep these guys. If I were them I'd go back to their "screen-play all-day" thing that they did to us in week 6. It wasn't flashy, but they had a halftime lead on us (if memory serves).
  9. Doubt it. Osh is all about head games.
  10. Not every definition. It's his second year in the CFL. Floated around the NFL trying to catch on for 5 seasons. He's 29. Not a kid we're talking about, And this is his team. But to try this whole thing from a different tack, if you were Dinwiddie and you won the East with 6 games to go, have no Bye weeks, banged up starters and you play an away game at your most likely Grey Cup opponent (presuming you both make it)... What would you do? Play your starters and show Winnipeg exactly how you'd play them? Don't be silly.
  11. Respectfully beg to differ. He's sorta a rookie but he really isn't. And keeping our undefeated at home record may prevent us from rotating and hiding the book here, but not the road. 10 weeks is a long time with no Bye week... so you'd have to figure that we'll just make our own Byes in the remaining 6 straight games. It'd be madness to grind the guys down in the run-in.
  12. Most likely scenario, imo.
  13. Disagree. Dinwiddie keeps "developing" new wrinkles each time out against an opponent or a particular setup. Really enjoying watching him make me eat crow, because he obviously has a lot going on football IQ wise. As a football nerd, it's been fun watching opposing DCs repeatedly get caught with their pants around their ankles when the thing that they weren't prepared for happens to them. I think we go if not full Vanilla, then at least Neapolitan after we lock 1st. Certainly on the road anyways. I recall in years past when we needed a rest before the playoffs and we'd clinched to late how we'd play all 2nd and 3rd stringers at our last game at home... Sucks to sit in the cold stands with the wind off the lake for those stinkers!
  14. If the Argos pull out the win tomorrow in Montreal (the Als always play us tough there), we lock up our place in the East Final. If that happens, there is every chance that what the Bombers will see at IGF is a Toronto squad that is resting a lot of banged up players who don't have a Bye Week in the second half of the season. They also would likely see a "dummy" version of our offence where we just do a bunch of formations to see how the Bombers defence reacts. I'm not saying that we won't try to win or anything, just that after we lock 1st, then our road games in particular will be heavily rotated teams. But first, we need to win tomorrow and then watch Montreal, Hamilton, Ottawa and any Crossover hopeful kill themselves for the remainder of the season for a chance to play at BMO on Remembrance Day.

    Covid-19

    I know, I know... But they did approve it in this country without all the tests. So please forgive me if I can't get past this sort of word-wizardry: Do what you reason to be right for your situation and I'll still be hopeful for everyone's best outcome. Just praying that they don't lock us down again.

    Covid-19

    FDA approves new monovalent shot based on "manufacturers data" and no clinical trials. They also approved it for 12+ year-olds and authorized its use from 6 month to 11 years. I'll sit this one out. Good luck everyone and stay well.
  17. Not all that different than what we paid to extend Nicastro. And he (Korte) is Edmonton's hometown boy.
  18. Kerry Fraser wouldn't blatantly ignore Gretzky high-sticking Gilmour directly in front of him.
  19. None of the 5 turnovers or the 100 yards of penalties were on him though.
  20. Bombers need to take care of business this week. The TiCats know that Montreal may suffer a loss again and that a win pulls them even in second.
  21. Firmly in 3rd may not be enough. Their schedule for the run-in is Toronto and The West.
  22. Weekly bets in. Choosing Bombers to cover was my easiest money to lay out this week. Revenge + sore ass factor.
  23. Starting to think that the possibility of a crossover is more likely than not. Today is a must-win for the TiCats... because their schedule for the rest of the season is basically Toronto and The West.
  24. Next few times we send AJ out wide I guess we'll see.
  25. I appreciated it. Not because it was a gadget play and cool to watch, but because it will make defences have to account for it in future games. DBs won't be able to leave their cover as quickly to come up to the line for Ouellette.
