I just read that article and thought it was dumb. It reads as if those are the ONLY scenarios where the Bombers can clinch, rather than just applying to this week.
Case in point:
Even if Winnipeg loses this weekend, they still have a chance to host a playoff game. A Winnipeg loss and a Saskatchewan loss means the Bombers will clinch a home playoff date or if Winnipeg loses by less than 21 points and Calgary also loses, the Bombers will clinch a home playoff date.
Ya think? 🙄
Now I've heard it is a kicker's job,
To score three points, and appease the mob,
But you don't really care for field goals, do you?
Of kicking points we are bereft,
First wide right, then again wide left
The baffled coach cries "Where is Hajrullahu?"
Hajrullahu, Hajrullahu
Hajrullahu, Hajrullahu
I actually laughed at this on cfl.ca:
The scene: A backwoods cabin, far from civilization. A fully-bearded Justin Medlock looks up and stops chopping wood as he spies a dark sedan with a rental car sticker on it creeping up the winding drive. The driver steps out. Medlock shakes his head and smiles a little smile.
“Kyle Walters” he says, incredulously. “I told you. I’m out.” With that, Medlock swings the axe and brings it down hard on a log, splitting it right down the middle.
“Just one more job, Justin,” says Walters. “Just one more.”
I won't be all that surprised to lose this week, to be honest. Beating a team (even a bad one) three times is hard. Combine that with an embarrassed Elk team and all you need is one or two weird plays (a missed FG return here, a blocked punt there) to turn a game around.
