  1. https://www.cfl.ca/players/keric-wheatfall/166914/ Wheatfall has had his down games, but he's certainly not been invisible since the early part of the season. In particular, check out his 8/15 game against Ottawa. He made some hard yards in that game and survived some hellacious contact and I've seen him throw some good blocks too. Someone here compared him to Chris Brazzel and I don't think that's a fair comparison. Up to the 9/6 game where Collaros got hurt, he was on a 950ish-yard pace. Should we start him or Mitchell? No idea. But Wheatfall doesn't look like an early season flash in the pan to me. Would he start on any other team in the CFL? I don't think he'd make the grade in Montreal, BC, Ottawa, or Hamilton. I think he's just the target of frustration because he's a decent player on a team that made an expensive bet on Dalton Schoen that didn't turn out.
  2. lol. I'm pretty sure that if some MBB poster were on the sidelines calling the shots, the rest of MBB would be pining for the good old days of Tim Burke...
  3. well, the Bombers also got to play the Lions 2 times before they had anything figured out, so it kinda evens out.
  4. HH to Vaughters. Two sacks!
  5. he did call the plays that resulted in the time killing drive, right? He called the right plays and our guys executed them well. The system worked at a critical time. Ottawa has a habit of improbable comebacks but we stomped that possibility dead. I'm not saying there aren't giant hairy weeping warts on the O in this game but there does seem to be some small amount of credit owing there.
  6. I'd trade any of our QBs for Brown in a heartbeat. If he's not achieving in Ottawa, it's because Ottawa is the forbidden zone of the CFL, there's some weird malaise over the place that prevents the assembly of talent into teams, and it's been that way since the early eighties.
  7. on Hogan ... as much as the O smelled like the back of your college refrigerator ... when the chips were down in the fourth quarter we had two long drives for field goals and burned a bunch of clock. Someone called the right plays for us to ice that game. I'll admit that "give it to Brady when leading in the 4th quarter" isn't galaxy brained coaching but at least we didn't outsmart ourselves. Demski missing his catch streak was a big bummer. hilariously he did have one catch but it was for -11 yards and was wiped out by a Neuf holding penalty.
  8. coming in late ... Brian Chiu deserving HOFer. Dude kept Calvillo spotless for all those years.
  9. anyone who says that there's one weird trick to fix the O doesn't have a lot of credibility with me. We've got an OL that can't keep a clean pocket, no clear WR1, a quarterback with happy feet and a bum knee, plus a rookie OC. Any one of those factors can screw up a play; when you've got em all on the field at once, it's gonna be gross.
  10. ^ best take ^
  11. As much as everyone is all meh on the bombers after this victory, can you imagine being an Ottawa fan? that has got to be a frustrating team to root for. they win games they absolutely should not win and piss away games that should be blowouts. How much time do they have left on Dyce's contract? also HH to TSN for the nice whole-play iso on one of Cadwallader's special teams tackles. dig seeing the special teams guys getting some camera time.
  12. now that we know the average gentleman on MBB is a little older, I'd say this game is exactly like an erection .. surprising.
  13. we beat em in 2/3 phases of the game and with the game on the line on the 4Q we had two long drives for field goals. I'll take it but I doubt we beat any other team in the league like this.
  14. No. There was a late-season 1988 Calgary vs Ottawa snow game in Ottawa that was worse. The walking corpse of Roy Dewalt vs. CFL-all-timer Erik Kramer in whiteout conditions. Ottawa won because their punter was getting about five more yards per punt than the Calgary guy. I can find a youtube link if anyone wants to see the worst CFL game ever played.
