Mr Dee

I’m confused. A tête-à-tête is defined as as a head-to-head between 2 people. Collaros has had head injuries. Tate has had head injuries. So, could the transition from Collaros to Tate be considered a Tête a Tate?

And as Rider fans drooled and coveted Franklin...they now want Streveler. Suffer fools, suffer.

5 points! For Pettersson. The Canucks might not go anywhere, but this kid brings excitement for Vancouver fans.

GoTTcha! ESPN reporting ‘the chug’

Watching the Vancouver - Avalanche game and I’ve got to tell you that Pettersson kid from the Canucks is something special. He’s an intelligent playmaker.

TSN How many times has the production crew frigged up and replayed a segment from that we’ve already seen? On TSN1 tonight they’re showing the start of the game...again. TSN3 is carrying it live. But how do you know which to record?

The players have spoken. In the TSN player poll, through Derek Taylor, Adam Bighill was voted the CFL’s hardest hitter.

I think it helps to read the info separately. Take the Regina part out for a second, then read it again.

👁‍🗨 The Bombers are unique in the fact that they have scored the most points offensively and yet, they’re only 5th in net offence. Same thing for defence. They are 2nd in points allowed and yet, they’re 5th in net offence allowed.. The Bombers are #1 in turnover ratio, penalties, fumble recoveries and penalty yardage.. Game #88 Notes & Trends - Winnipeg at Edmonton:  6-3 Start - No Playoff Spot: The Eskimos began this season at 5-2 and then were 6-3 through 9 games and in 2nd place having won 4 out of 5. But since then have gone 2-6 to miss the playoffs. In the 18-game season era of the CFL, 57 different teams have started their season at 6-3 - only two of those did not go on to make the playoffs. Winnipeg 2014 6-3, then 1-8 and now Edmonton.  Winnipeg at Saskatchewan? - Not since 1975: the Bombers last played a playoff game in Regina 43 years at Taylor Field on November 8, 1975. Saskatchewan defeated Winnipeg 42-24 that day behind Ron Lancaster's 338 passing yards and on the strength of a 35-8 half-time lead. What is interesting is that not a single Active CFL player was even born then.  Winnipeg at Calgary? - Not since 1978: It has been almost as long since the Bombers last played a playoff game in Calgary - that being Regina 40 years ago - at McMahon Stadium on November 8, 1978. Calgary defeated Winnipeg 38-4 that day on the strength that time of a 17-4 half-time lead.  Coach O'Shea 10+ wins: will be making his 90 sideline appearance. He is 45-44. That includes a 33-20 .623 mark since 2016 with win totals of 11, 12 & 10 games. The last Winnipeg coaches to post 3 straight 10+ win seasons were Dave Ritchie (2001-2003) and Cal Murphy (1984-1986).  5 wins in a row: The Bombers come in with 5 consecutive wins for the first time since Jul-Aug 2017. They last won 6 in a row in 2016 so wins streak with Matt Nichols at QB are not new.  Chris Streveler: Started the first 3 games this season and depending on Coach O'Shea's plans may get his 4th this week. Streveler went 1-2 as a starter but made a big mark early by throwing 3 TD passes in his first two career games. Tom Wilkinson in 1969 is the only other QB to throw at least 3 TD passes in each of his first two career starts.  Turnovers Forced / +57 Since 2016: Winnipeg leads the CFL with 48 Takeaways while Edmonton is at #6 with 35. It is widely known that forcing Turnovers is a Bombers' specialty and the most telling number is their T/O Ratio. From 2012 to 2015, Winnipeg was -60 but since 2016 are +57 (2016: #1 at +29, 2017: #2 at +14, 2018: #1 at +14).  Harris 295 touches: Last year Harris rushed 189 times and caught 105 passes for 294 total touches. This year the balance has shifted to a career-high 237 runs and just 58 catches. But ... that adds to a career-high 295 touches. Harris is only 5 catches away from reaching 500 career receptions.  Whyte & Medlock: In a year where the league-wide FG% is an all-time high 88%, these two have a combined 89% mark missing only 9 of 83 attempts. A 6-FG game would likely give Medlock the 2018 scoring title.  Mike Reilly 13 TDs: Reilly needs one TD to tie the CFL single-season record for most Touchdowns in a season by a QB.  Mike Reilly 29 TD Passes: Reilly needs one TD pass to become the 3rd Edmonton QB to throw for 30+ in consecutive seasons. (Tracy Ham 1989-1992, Warren Moon 1981-82)  Medlock: Is up to 61 consecutive 32-yd converts, the 2nd-longest streak since the distance was moved in 2015 (82 by Medlock).  Duke Williams: Has 1,534 yards and appears to have Edmonton locked in with the CFL's leading receiver for the 3rd year in a row.  C.J. Gable: Needs 49 yards to reach 1,000 for the first time. No Edmonton rusher has reached 1,000 rushing yards since 2011.  J.C. Sherritt: Needs 9 tackles to reach 100 for the 2nd time in his career.

Eh chihuahua! Si! I think I like it!

Now do we see Nelson on kick returns? Hey KBF, you getting your wish..

Wow, Demski rockin’ the high % catch rate..

I really don’t think it was Jones’ fault. Poop was just dumped on his lawn..

To make the Riders even more plucked than they are?

This move sounds preconceived, and just like Mr dressed in Black

Well done Big Blue. Discipline helped us get here..

Willie Jefferson: “The year I’m having, I hope I did enough to put my name in the hat to get to win it.” Humble to a fault...(except for the humble part.)

Heh, heh. Mike Miller pranking Mike O’Shea at practice wearing #50 with name O’Shea on the back and keeping it light... Complete with shorts!

A bit of a surprise for me..

Wow, that’s a lot of starters they’re resting.. For the Bombers the equivalent would be: Nichols, Harris, Adams, Wolitarsky, Bryant and Dressler.

Most of the Rider comments ARE $hit or myth..

So, it’s unanimous...we want Saskalgary!

The odds are against them. Funding, location, land agreements, and the public is only 50-50% in a small poll. Its not a best case scenario even though it’s what CFL fans consider to be a good solution.

“I want to acknowledge that our response to the Odell Willis hit on Zach Collaros this past weekend was clearly inadequate.” 👁‍🗨 I take it as only a few people didn’t see the hit as being violent. Unfortunately 3 of them were officials at the game, one of whom, has the responsibility for this kind of thing.
