Holy crap I love this photo.

Do the math, Noeller: Tonight Denmark had 80% of the Bombers' receiving yards. Miltgiving day game: Milt had 234/410 yards or about 57% of the team total. Milt Miracle game: Milt had 254/370 yards, or about 68% of the team total. Those Milt games come close, but he didn't quite dominate the Bombers receivers like Denmark did tonight.

Denmark: 7 catches / 195 yards Rest of team: 10 catches / 51 yards I can't remember ever seeing anything like this, where one receiver has four times the receiving yards of the rest of the team. Mr. Dee, I expect that next week's In Case You Missed It will talk about the last time we saw comparably weird receiving numbers. Maybe in the mid-2000s when Milt was basically the only receiver the Bombers could roll out week-to-week?

Ricky Foley be all like Logan Kilgore be like

http://www.canadaworkpermit.com/faq/general.html 5. Once a work permit is issued, can I change employers? It would generally be necessary to seek a new work permit or a change of terms in order to engage in work with a different employer. A work permit is generally issued on the basis of an intention to work in a specific position and for a specific employer. (this is from a law firm, not actual Canadian CIC.) It'd be hilarious if the Roughriders are not only flouting CFL rules, but also breaking Canadian law arranging under-the-table jobs for these guys. Hilarious for everyone except the players, who are breaking the law in the hopes of a pro football paycheck. Hope those guys don't get **** on too hard by CIC.

Did anyone (besides Rick Campbell) have any beefs with how Orridge handled the Jason Maas controversy during the offseason? Seems like he made a sensible decision, decisively shut down Ottawa's request for compensation, and did it all in a timely fashion so the Eskies could get on with their business. Mark Cohon, who basically turned around the league last decade, was also an NBA marketing guy, among other things.

King's X! Awesome band, and Pillow is probably my favorite song of theirs. Very good taste you have, there is hope for AtlanticRiderFan yet!

Burris sure didn't look very good last week and his throws were really wandering. Will an extra few days of pinkie healing gets him back on track? Or has his career has finally entered its twilight? As they say on Bojack Horseman, let's find out!

Wasn't there a change to the timing rules this year that made it advantageous to run a high-tempo offence? Maybe the idea with using the starters in short yardage is to line up quickly with no substitutions and not allow the D to bring in extra short-yardage beef? Like maybe you were 2nd and long and you were facing a D lineup biased for the pass. Then you have a good second down play and you're third and short and you want to run your short yardage against that undersized D, so you go tempo offence, line up and run it. (this is an interesting thread guys, thanks for posting it. Love seeing posts that refer to video.)

Yeah, and there's this guy Willy who's been scarce of late...

Naw, Masoli is Joey Elliott 2.0: 50% hero, 50% heartbreak.

(edit: never mind)

Listening to cjob ... Knuckles just asked Chris Randle about Donald Trump. I was just back home last week and Trump was all anyone wanted to talk to me about, so that sounds about right....

Last week: 3/5 of our starting secondary missing? No problem! This week: our top three receivers missing? No problem! Go Bombers. Yikes, those weather reports look ugly --stay safe, people.

I hear ya, but you might have to pay more than you want to get one -- I really doubt there's a robust resale market for those ugly things. How did we get out of having to wear them a second time, I wonder?

Y'know what would make this thread cooler ... would be pictures. My own collection is pretty small. I've got - a Roberts navy home, an xmas gift from my cool wife. The tackle twill numbers have all peeled off at this point, leaving a gross shadow of adhesive. Occasionally I think about redecorating this one but I have no idea how to get rid of the dried glue. - a weird silkscreened #63 jersey from the 80s that smells funny, like it's made of a weird plastic, and it has no Walby nameplate. Bought this one on ebay before I could smell it. - the one I wear to games, my stitched Brown retro royal blue, the style from 2010ish that doesn't have the W logo. Roomy enough to fit a hoodie underneath. - a tiny jersey for my dog, again purchased by my cool wife. I wish it were a lightning bolt logo, because the big block W on it makes it look like the dog is repping the University of Washington.

Any links to a story about the Riders' ratio cheating?

I spotted a camo Vega jersey on kijiji the other day. It's a winnipeg seller, so that'll keep your money local. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-football/winnipeg/brand-new-signed-vega-winnipeg-blue-bombers-jersey-xl/1171568852?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true It's funny that it's a Vega jersey, since he was the guy who unveiled them and modeled them and was reportedly repelled by them.

Jyles had his moments, especially once he had Greg Carr to throw to. He was lights out in that one amazing OT game against BC, the one that Alex Brink started, the one that ended Casey Printers' career. And he put up 40 points in a home game against Montreal that year -- but the Als put up 44. Total heartbreaker of a game, typical of the snakebit 2010 season. He's a long long way from the worst QB we've watched here.

Mayo made some plays in preseason. Didn't look out of place.

Yeah, he had a few drunken throws and a few wild throws. I think he rushed back too soon.

Lirim! Always nice to see a guy come back from adversity like that.

Hope we see what Chris Jones does after the final gun. Is he gonna shake hands or have a tantrum?

I thought it was weird how Nichols really didn't target Davis that often last night, even after we lost Dressler.
