Fair enough. I love dashing other teams hopes and dreams too though. That GC win against Hamilton in their own barn was fantastic. Watching Banks and Simoni walk away empty handed again while the Bombers partied in their stadium was just amazing

Why

Blame SSK and Chris Jones

To play devils advocate. In the coaches cap situation they are in. I can see how it's the correct choice. Give Dicky boy 1 more shot and if nothing improves I can see him and Oday gone after labour day.

or Khari

To me that equals not caring.

What do you even say about TSN anymore. Just mistake after mistake, high school like coverage/highlights/commentary/play by play. They don't care, that much is obvious. I wish the CFL had options around TV coverage.

It was equally horrible during the SSk/CGY game....well Suitor was. You'd think Fajardo was some kind of legend in Regina with a decade of playoff wins and at least 1 championship win. The way he kept comparing the Bo/Fajardo situations was ridiculous. No Suitor....its not going to be odd that Fajardo won't be a rider anymore...its only been 3 years. Not even if you take the short season into consideration. Bo was at least a legit legend in CGY and actually did something there. My gawd, Suitor was so horrible during that entire game it was impossible to watch without muting.

Ford seems to be the real deal. His quickness jumped out at me. He could be a real gem if he continues to progress.

The markcast (fairly sure it's a bc podcast, but they blocked me a while ago for making fun of them so I can't quite remember what they are) on Twitter said Thomas should be the enemy of the nation after doing that lol. BC is soft and so are their fans.

#41 was bringing the pain all game long. Had some big time hits and nice tackles on Special teams.

It was Dalton but I agree, the way he sold it was a big reason for it being so successful. Prukop had a few PA that completely fooled some defenders...and also me lol. I was was confused a few times last night lol. The refs missed a bunch of holding last night. No, why ruin a good thing? The blue helmets should be buried and never seen again.

I think the biggest obstacle is actually out east.

It's almost like this is a place to put out opinions on things that happen around the CFL...in fact, now that I wrote that out. We should really start a website like that! Honestly though, I think you're reading too much into what people are putting down here. The people who are saying they don't like him, from what I gather are saying it because of the jersey he wears not because of the talent he has/doesn't have. As far as I can see, most people want him to succeed because of the reasons you listed, it would be great for the league. That doesn't make him untouchable from other fans...or free from jokes about the attention he is getting. I ******* hated AC when he played, it doesn't mean I thought he was trash. I just didn't want him to do well against the Bombers. Likewise with Rourke, I think the media needs to put more respect on the way the Bombers handled him when he played a game against them. That does not mean I think he is a **** QB. I also think he will get an NFL shot due to his talent. That does not mean I think he should be put on the levels of the Fluties/Ray/AC/Collaros/Moon etc etc. It's hard to believe, but 2 things can be true at once.

When you put context to what people are saying there's really not a lot of lane switching going on. Please, and feel free to use Google, name a CFL starting QB who has made less than 100k and put up the #'s he has? He is going to get a raise and there will be interest. That doesn't mean the non stop hand jobs from the media aren't getting to be a bit much.

There are no options....only the illusion of options.

context matters in this case. The individuals each team brought back absolutely plays a part in the argument.

Couple big time field goals, fantastic directional punting basically all year. Solid kickoffs.

Not in 2022....hey ooooooo!

So Rourke still has screws etc in him?

I think if Rourke gets hurt, it's a bad look for BC specifically because of his importance to that organization.

Oh yes, you are correct. Would have needed to convert to win/tie. "Let them". No competitve team LET's someone hang around. Letting someone do something implies you had a choice. CGY played well enough to be in the game. The Bombers didn't LET them score etc etc.

Unfortunately that's just not how any competitive sport works.

I think I explained quite well why it's a worse situation for the Leos and Rourke than it was for the Bombers and Ellingson.

At the end of the day, dropped passes/dropped pics etc etc. They were 1 play away from winning. To me, that doesn't scream the Bombers beat the crap out of them. That was my point. The game for all the missed opportunities etc was very close right down to the last second.
