love to see tackles from behind on the teams. hustle play.

Flanders looking real tentative on those slow-developing running plays. With no vertical passing threat from the RBs, D can just red rover him at the line.

team with wounded QB hanging around in a game they have no business in ... groundhog day in August.

is there ever going to be 100% for him again? i am not a medical person but given his history it doesn't seem promising.

I liked Crown Lands, the weird psych/noise rock duo they rolled out in Winnipeg in 2019 ... but you cannot play that kind of music in a crowded stadium, it just doesn't work.

Trevor Harris gets to work:

we probably win that game with 2019 Matty Ice ... but with 2021 wounded Matt I have serious questions. look at how the Ticats were stacking the box and stuffing Brady O until Collaros started hucking it deep. without that deep passing threat, it doesn't happen for us.

I want them to play more of Shai Ross's tiktok. this year's jumping snowmobiles.

you're not wrong, but it's so early.

was that a forward pass?

just checking the RBs coaching staff to see who's calling the plays there (no OC listed, so I guess Lapo) and I see Alex Suber is their receivers coach. first CFL coaching gig for him. so another ex-bomber to root for there.

Trevor Harris throwing both kinds of passes tonight: dinks AND dunks.

every year they screw up one Bomber game. won't play either live or VOD.

Elks new duds look sharp but it kinda looks like they just image searched for Green Bay Packers and called it a day.

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgos!

man I love those Joe Lobendahn plays where the guy on his way to the endzone gets run down by a hustling defender.

woops. missed those 3Q punts. yeah, that is weird. maybe instead of a lack of confidence in the ST it's a vote of confidence in the D?

sweet second third and fourth effort from 84 Toronto.

hell yeah Argo boat helmets. timeless. Argos pulling together, Macbeth throwin some daggers.

I am digging that bold red, pops real nice and isn't that dumb modern thing where a team tries to own a uniquely dull shade of a color, like say the seahawks.

if you're talking about us not going for the FG just before the half, that was a 52-yarder, which is a 50/50 kick even for a guy like Medlock. and then our fg team has to cover a dangerous return guy. was a low reward / high risk play and a good coaching decision; we wound up not needing the points.

Milt Stegall! Touchdown regal! always wondered if that was improvised in the moment or if Cuthbert had it in his pocket. I think it was the perfect call for a giant moment.

he was also listed as limited reps on the injury report all week with an elbow. we were talking about it here a bunch. it wasn't like it was a secret he was banged up.

RBs depth chart for tonight. Nichols listed as the starter but they've also listed a third QB which I think under the new roster rules means they can scratch him (Nichols) at game time, right?

oh hey! just discovered that yaretv, the weird little streaming provider that has carried the CFL in markets where they don't have a broadcast agreement, is doing the CFL again in 2021. It's region-locked but that's been easy to circumvent with a VPN in the past. US$85 gets you the whole season both live and VOD. @aalgernon I've used this service for a few years and it's not perfect but it's pretty good. https://cfl.yaretv.com/
