I've got super distant memories of this, I think there was some condition preventing the Riders from punting ... maybe their longsnapper was hurt?

my big Q is who are our import recs this week -- neither Nelson nor Bailey really took advantage of the opportunity they got with Adams out last week

Another low-passing win from Mike Reilly of all people back in 2015. 7/22 for 49 yards (!), but wins 25-18. The story: this was the game where Collaros did his ACL and his backup Jeff Mathews threw two pick-sixes. http://sportsstats.cbc.ca/football/Canadian-football-league-boxscores.aspx?page=/data/CFL/results/2015/boxscore46876.html

for all Nichols has declined, he still gets great accuracy and velocity on the dumps he takes in Brandon's cheerios

there once was a poet named Tracker who aspired to be a syllable packer he'd count and he'd count til he had the right amount flaunting some solid pitter-patter

I dunno man, dude could make things happen on a good day but he threw a ton of bad-decision picks.

Mike Kelly himself replied to the tweet. Apparently there was "sideways freezing rain" that day.

I think garbage time started during the second quarter of BC vs. Riders .... that's when the Rider secondary started getting real casual. BLM is gonna win more games for sure, but something looks off with him. He's missing throws he didn't miss before. Is he gonna be ageless like Calvillo or Allen and find new peaks in his game? or is he going to tail off now? I don't think he's done by any stretch but I think the trend will be down for him. Lapo, we'll see. His team is swaggering in two phases of the game but doesn't look to have a lot of upside on O. Could see him being the fall guy for the redblack's terrible offensive recruiting.

it's from this super fun online t-shirt making game called Tee KO (https://www.jackboxgames.com/tee-ko/) We played it a ton during the pandemic. Alas, don't have the purchase info for the shirts we made..

yup. I'll own it. Figured without Adams and Harris, we were in tough. like I said, very smart.

these are dope, keep em coming! MBB haikus: -- the five seven five? do or die doesn't subscribe. esteemed gin ronin -- Harris neighbor troll! mods raise swords and strike like samurai Mike Jones

unanswered questions: real curious whether Nathan Rourke is for real or whether he put up a garbage time mirage against a lazy/overrated secondary. in any case, kudos to him for his mental toughness; he shut out the scoreboard and the noise and balled. is Nichols game rostered for week 2? when does Benevides replace Lapo? is this the twilight of BLM?

I went a perfect 0-4 in the pickems! with a record like that, I can turn pro. Call me, cfl.ca!

dunno if I'll be able to keep this up all season, but here goes for Week 1: guarding Blue endzone like Cerberus and Charon: the twin Jeffs of Death ---------------------------- Fugitive reboot: stubble jumpers nearly beat by one-armed QB ---------------------------- jerseys stained bright red cue Macbeth soliloquy: "out, you damn stripes! out!" ---------------------------- FNF remake: just like the rider game but the one-armed guy wins!

Yeah. Ticats O had nothing going and their body language said they were beat even in the 3Q. Why serve em up a rally moment? Why not just let them batter themselves uselessly against the Jeffs of Death? I love that Barker described Willie J as a "game wrecker." Best panel moment of the weekend.

Maybe you get a few extra yards out of Davis but you're also getting plus two or three picks per game. Dude is an interception machine and they're ugly picks too.

never change, CFL.

A Jennings / Davis reunion in Ottawa would be ... jesus, how do you possibly sell tickets for that? god Brandon Bridge was brutal. how can the rb's roll out Nichols now that there's film of how jacked up his arm is? he looks like Stefan Lefors out there. real shame.

Desjardins calling Glenn would be funny. I remember Glenn being real sour about his last dealings with Marcel.

naw, I mean, who is a free agent out there that they can sign?

what emergency QBs are out there for Ottawa? Can't think of anyone.

not his fault, I heard when he got into Edmonton Harris told him that dunking was the other half of their game plan that's a SEATTLE DRAGONS alum baby! (if @Mark F will permit the reference)

never change, CFL.
