Right on the Team Open site, they contradict themselves. There is a graphic stating "The average number of seconds added to an afternoon rush hour commute is 54 after pedestrians are reintroduced." Right next to the graphic, they state that the delay can be 0-54 seconds. So it 54 the average or the upper bound? Such disorganization. Team Open has no idea what they are talking about. That is why I voted Closed.

Yes, I meant, why do they lie. Not you. I am not around a computer anymore but I will return at my leisure to post my findings.

See, this is the issue. I have the study open in front of me right now (it is publicly available online) and your claim is 100% false. It's right in the chart. Why lie?

The main issue for me is the Yes side making up unfounded claims. Traffic won't be worse, costs won't be that bad, etc. It's all assumptions passed off as fact. Lies to get their way. Another factor for me is that people will die as a result of opening it. It's a huge intersection and people die at smaller ones, there is no reason to believe no one will die here. I saw the aftermath of someone getting exploded by a transit bus on Graham and I'd prefer not to see that again. And when someone dies, where will Team Open be? Nowhere to be found.

I will be voting to keep it closed simply because the "vote open" people have been so insufferable. I don't care either way, though, and frankly I think it's a joke that this is one of the central issues of the election.

There's not really anyone in the Jets forward corps you want in the pressbox for a stretch of more than a few games. It's no better for Lemieux to sit there than Vesalainen. Who else can you really sit... Andrew Copp, Brandon Tanev, Jack Roslovic??? Not likely.

Nowhere. But you can say you disagree and then quote me and brag about it if I'm wrong. And isn't that really what sports are all about?

Lemieux's AHL days are over. We won't see him in a Moose uniform again. The choice was between keeping Petan and Dano and they chose Petan. I would have made the same decision.

Streveler doesn't have the arm to be a starting QB in the CFL. I know most people will disagree with me but it is obvious when I watch him throw. He will likely never be a full-time starter and the suggestion that he may be better than Nichols is ludicrous to me. I like Streveler and he is absolutely perfect for the role we have him in now but he would be exposed in a big way if he was our full time starter.

Agreed that's why I specified OLBs and DEs.

Frederic Plesius has been pretty good on special teams too. Nice to be able to pick up good veteran Canadians mid season for nothing.

Best path available would be stealing second place from the Riders and getting a home playoff game. If not that, I don't see much difference between the paths on the west or the east. The Riders and Stamps have had great seasons but they are both dealing with lots of injuries and not playing their best football right now. Hamilton and Ottawa have had less impressive seasons but are both relatively healthy and are capable of having huge games. Hamilton in particular scares me.

The Riders have an atrocious offence, a good secondary, great outside linebackers, and the best defensive ends in the league. I don't think any of that is arguable. It is interesting that they have won 10 games, second most in the league, with that being their scenario. Good coaching.

Yes... I believe @kcin94 has it correct. The tiebreaking rules: When two or more member Clubs are tied in the final Division standings at the conclusion of the regular season schedule, preferential ranking for playoff purposes shall be determined on the basis of the following descending-order priorities and shall be awarded to the Club that: has won the greater number of games played against all member Clubs of the League, then, has the higher winning percentage in all games played against all of the other tied Club(s), then, has scored the higher net aggregate of points (i.e. points scored for less points scored against) in all games played against all of the other tied Club(s), then, has scored the higher net quotient of points (i.e. points scored for divided by points scored against) in all games played against all of the other tied Club(s), then, has the higher winning percentage in all games played against all member Clubs of the Division, then, has scored the higher net aggregate of points in games played against all member Clubs of the Division, then, has scored the higher quotient of points in games played against all member Clubs of the Division, then, has scored the higher net aggregate of points in games played against all member Clubs of the League, then, has scored the higher net quotient of points in games played against all member Clubs of the League, then, has won a coin toss against the other tied Club. Note: If two Clubs remain tied after other Club(s) are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step a).

CFL football is not nearly as big in Canada as NFL football is in the States. Most of the people in Winnipeg are Jets fans first and foremost (...the Winnipeg Jets, that is...) and the Bombers are a distant second.

1. Bighill... just locked up MODP of the league, I think. 2. Taylor Loffler... ate Collaros' lunch big time. 3. Anthony Gaitor... who expected this guy to turn into such a solid SAM LB for us??? Happy honker to Darvin Adams for the big TD... that's where it all started.

Four straight wins capped off with this dominant display. I feel bad for all the former Bomber fans who are "over this regime." They're really missing out.

Mike Archer is their DC and he has been terrible. He was their LB coach last year and came in with some pretty impressive NCAA/NFL credentials but it clearly has not worked out.

Suddenly not so confident

And Moose win the home opener 2-1! Goal and assist for Griffith, one assist each for Niku, Schilling, and Spacek, and Appleton pots the game winner. 30/31 saves for Comrie.

Dress rehearsal for when we beat the Riders in the playoffs.

They shouldn't, on paper. They have lots of fringe NHL players and AHL stars. Niku, Poolman, Schilling, Stoykewich, Nogier... all very good D at the AHL level. Appleton, Griffith, Everberg, Lipon, Spacek... all good forwards at the AHL level. Suess, Reichel and McKenzie are nice additions, too. Comrie and Appleby have been good goalies at the AHL level as well. It's been a rough start to the season but I believe they have more than enough talent to turn it around, and they will.

There are a few good offensive pieces there, I like this Burks character and Armanti Edwards and Llevi Noel are both good receivers... but yeah overall there is not a huge wealth of talent. Their OL also leaves something to be desired. And the defence has been pretty pathetic. I still think there is some good potential with James Franklin... I believe he will find more success in the CFL than MBT.

I would say Lapolice is the second best offensive coordinator in the league behind Dickenson.

I don't see any spots on the roster in dire need of upgrading but it would have been nice to pick up a receiver for some depth. We've seen the offence struggle without Dressler. Ultimately I still believe this roster is capable of winning the Grey Cup if they can stay healthy down the stretch.
