  1. I suppose once the whistle for the play is blown in, and only then, if a player goes down, a 5 yard penalty could be applied?
  2. I've already considered the best way to get the Bomber's attention. At the next game, I see a reaction. A total fan reaction. Hundreds of fans dropping in the aisles and grabbing their hamstrings or wrists, and writhing about in sheer agony. Then , of course, the fans come up smiling and waving to the Bomber bench. That'll get noticed and have them talking. Then, the following Coach's show, alll these fans can phone in with their suggestions. Seems so easy...
  3. Quite a foolish statement..
  4. If you're going to put forward a rebuttal, make sure you get the facts straight. That play was properly conducted on a field goal attempt. Totally within the rules. It's not anywhere near the Rider soccer-style-fake-injury-after-the-whistle farce that the Riders perpetrated. Why you Rider fans just can't admit it, I'll never know.
  5. Grymes would be excellent. While Edmonton is preoccupied with signing Walker, maybe we could slide right in and grab him...
  6. Knox...Penny? Knox...Penny? Knox...Penny?
  7. No, he said he wouldn't. And I believe him. You can choose to believe that guy you have in control, if you want to, when he says the Bombers were playing up tempo...and his players they were fatigued. This board has already acknowledged the Bombers being outplayed, and outsmarted. It will be better for us on Saturday, so help me spit.
  8. "The Tabbies have a lot of money to spend and need at virtually every position — can they attract NFL castoffs without the incentive of a playoff paycheck? Other areas of need to keep an eye on are Ottawa and B.C. at defensive end (hello, Alex Bazzie), Winnipeg at linebacker (Jeff Knox Jr.), and Toronto at defensive back (Mitchell White). For my money, the top free agent currently available is former Eskimo Aaron Grymes, who has connections to Edmonton and Saskatchewan (via Chris Jones). Dominant halfbacks are worth their weight in gold — I expect Grymes’ agent to here from upwards of six CFL teams." The following players are now free agents on both sides of the border: DL Alex Bazzie BC? DB Otha Foster Sask? DB Aaron Grymes DB Josh Johnson LB Jeff Knox Jr. P Richie Leone WR Derel Walker Edmonton? DB Mitchell White Toronto? http://3downnation.com/2017/09/05/potential-cfl-landings-spots-nfl-cuts/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+3downnation%2Fegst+(3+Down+Nation-John+Hodge)
  9. Even though I know it's not possible, I hope the Bomber's closed practice tomorrow incorporates an increased-paced, no-huddle offence . Wouldn't it be great to see the Riders try to handle that?
  10. Pretty decent recap of QB outings this past week and the reasoning behind same... CFL.ca Staff The CFL.ca Quarterback Index is a weekly power ranking of quarterbacks across the CFL. The ranking reflects recent performance, historical value, statistical indicators, team success and overall on-field evaluation. BO LEVI MITCHELL CGY THIS WEEK: 1 | LAST WEEK: 2 Labour Day did not produce a statistical masterpiece for the reigning Most Outstanding Player. With that said, Bo Levi Mitchell continues to play at a high level, leading the Stamps to a 39-18 victory — their league-leading eighth of the season. Mitchell and the Stampeders are a clear cut above the rest of the CFL. KEVIN GLENN SSK THIS WEEK: 2 | LAST WEEK: 5 If Henry Burris was 40 when he won MOP, why can’t Kevin Glenn do it at 38? An off-season afterthought for some, Glenn is playing the best football of his career, on pace for a career-high 5,460 passing yards and 38 touchdowns. More importantly, the Detroit native has helped make the Riders relevant in the West. MIKE REILLY EDM THIS WEEK: 3 | LAST WEEK: 1 Once 7-0, momentum has escaped the Eskimos who have now lost three straight games. Although injures have caught up to the Green and Gold, Mike Reilly isn’t totally blame-free considering the veteran has thrown all nine of his interceptions over a recent six-game span. He needs to bounce back in the Labour Day rematch. MATT NICHOLS WPG THIS WEEK: 4 | LAST WEEK: 3 While Matt Nichols was his usual highly-efficient self in a loss to the Riders on Sunday, his two interceptions made the difference in a 14-point defeat. Consider this a one-off as the second-year Bomber looks to bounce back in the rematch in Saturday’s Banjo Bowl. TREVOR HARRIS OTT THIS WEEK: 5 | LAST WEEK: 6 Better late than never for the Ottawa REDBLACKS, true, but Trevor Harris has been doing it all year. Harris piloted his team to a 32-4 win over the Als on Thursday night and also into sole possession of first in the East. The 31-year-old leads the CFL with 3,531 passing yards and 22 touchdowns. RICKY RAY TOR THIS WEEK: 6 | LAST WEEK: 4 Ricky Ray’s offence produced only three field goals over a span of eight quarters heading into the second half in Hamilton on Monday night. Then, the veteran got hot, completing 15 of his next 17 passes on the way to a 325-yard performance. Ray is on pace to throw for a career-high 5,683 yards at age 37. TRAVIS LULAY BC THIS WEEK: 7 | LAST WEEK: 7 In one of the biggest twists of 2017, Travis Lulay has claimed the No. 1 quarterback job on Canada’s west coast. Stepping in for the ineffective Jonathon Jennings, Lulay looks to steady the plane and pilot the Lions out of a mid-season tailspin that’s got them in dead-last in the CFL’s West Division. DARIAN DURANT MTL THIS WEEK: 8 | LAST WEEK: 9 Consistency continues to elude the Alouettes’ top pivot, who was benched in favour of Drew Willy during a 32-4 loss to the REDBLACKS on Thursday night. Darian Durant will have to be better as the Als fight for a playoff spot in a tightly-contested East Division. JEREMIAH MASOLI HAM THIS WEEK: 9 | LAST WEEK: 11 After 12 straight losses with Zach Collaros under centre, the Ticats turned to Jeremiah Masoli, who delivered his team a victory in the Labour Day Classic. For the first time in his career, the 29-year-old has the opportunity to take a full-time quarterback job and run with it. DROPPED FROM RANKINGS: Jonathon Jennings (last week: 8th), Zach Collaros (last week: 10th). That Kevin Glenn guy is playing exceptional football ? at this time...
  11. What the Bombers ran was not the "banned sleeper" play. That play involves passing situations. The TSN crew got that mixed up until they found it was a legal play in field goal situations. O'Shea didn't find a loophole, but rather an awareness OF the rules. And, as was mentioned...he double checked.
  12. More crap from Saskatchewan
  13. He's always been known as an unger achiever...?
  14.

Of course, it won't be in Hamilton - @MiltStegallTSN #CFL #Ticats via @TSN1200 David William Naylor -So ... after Art Briles, what would reaction be to Johnny Manziel, who cut deal with prosecutors to dismiss domestic violence charge in '16? ?‍?A Day in the life of a Coach, or in Briles case, well, exactly that… Matthew Cruz CFL.ca memorable made-for-TV moments from this season. 1 Diversity is Strength T-shirts 2 Karen Kuldys misses one million dollars - on a penalty call. 3 Nic Lewis passes(receives actually) Geron Simon for the most receptions. 4 The punts.

Oh how times have changed -Of the 41 games played so far this season, 24 of them have been decided in the final three minutes. CFL Headlines- Goossen: Bombers players are better, closer, since O’Shea’s arrival -Bryan Hall cut along with two others from Stampeders goo.gl/fb/4548Zy #Stampeders #Stamps Steve Patterson - I assume Air Canada gave up naming rights to Leafs/Raptors arena because they couldn't sell more tickets than there are available seats. Steve Daniel has been the head CFL statistician since 2007. He tracks general numbers to the most obscure ones through every 60 minutes of football during the season. And Daniel is fascinated by the trends he's seeing in the game this year, especially when it comes to the changing offence. "The rushing carries per game is the lowest it has ever been in our history and by quite a large margin," he says. "In the last four years it's absolutely plummeted and I don't think that trend is going to stop." "The raw number of pass attempts right now is around 75 per cent per game. That is the highest since what used to be referred to as basketball on grass with Flutie and Austin. Basically all of our passing records date back to that time for yardage." If there are two stats Daniel says fans should keep their eyes on to predict winners and losers for the rest of the season, it's the turnover ratio and second down conversion. "Those are really two of the most important numbers," he says. "Numbers aren't everything but they do tell a story. I've confronted coaches who have confronted me. If you provide them with those numbers, it's surprising how much they use them." - http://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4270054 CFL News - #Ticats remain keenly interested in signing @JManziel2 and Manziel remains keenly interested in playing for Ticats - @ProFootballTalk #CFL ?‍?Ticats say they aren't really shopping Collaros, Riders say they've been called.

Boy, at this rate could they finish 5th in West? ?‍?Stupid Headline - MASSIVE FALLOUT FROM LABOUR DAY CLASSIC 2017 rodpedersen.com/2017/09/massiv… via rodpedersen Randy Turner - I'm beginning to think Riders fans believe Gainer is an actual giant gopher.

Tough slogging against that Calgary coverage. ?‍?It's a Bomber fan’s hard task - to not be proud of the Bomber linebackers..it doesn't seem right.

  15. This is getting blown way out of proportion. Everybody knows Carter isn't worth a spit..
  16. Let's put an end to this now. Of course the Bombers have allowed more points than Hamilton, we've played two games more!! We have a crappy defence right now, but let's not reach...
  17. ?‍?This is what it's like to get beaten in all 3 phases of the game. ?‍?We got out coached today. I'm disappointed in LaPo. Everybody saw what Jones does with his D, in these last few weeks, and that's what we devised to counter it? ?‍?I bloody well knew it the first time Sask pulled it off. The Rider version of designated fake injury. That wasn't the difference in the game, but "win classy" is still only an expression to Jones. ?‍?Turning point - Nichols, throwing that int..at that time...in that position on the field. ?‍?At least we kept the penalties down...4 ?‍?We couldn't match Sask big plays - Roosevelt 54 yards, Demski punt return 63 yards, Bakari Grant 44 yac yards, Marshall 48 yards. No answers ?‍?There are lessons to be learned here..let's hope we learn them. ?‍?That franchise is now officially unbearable...again @CaptainKirk - Boy these timely #Rider injuries. He seems ok after he got the time out. @CFL #RidersSuck #Bombers Derek Taylor - Roosevelt to the field side for the TD. 13th TD to the field side against the Bombers this season (5 to the boundary) #Details ?‍?2 TDs in a minute 50 seconds..deflating ?‍?By the way, it was a great 34 yard reception and run by Flanders...and then the penalty? Really? JFG must be wondering what to do. Crappy call ?‍?That perfectly executed draw play to Marshall was something the Bombers were supposed yo do ?‍?I see more and more comments about the fake Rider injury tactics... Scott Billeck - Nichols on the alleged fake injuries: "I think everyone can see what is going on. If you want to play soccer, go play soccer". #Bombers - Nichols also said that the alleged fake injuries weren't the reason why the #Bombers lost. ?‍?Just can't have stretches like this - Last six #Bombers possessions: 2 plays FG, 2&out, 3 plays FG, 2&out, 2&out, 2&out. ?‍?You know you ain't winning when you drive 88 yards and suffer a turnover on downs at the opposition's 5 yard line.. Dave Dawson - Congratulations to the #Riders training staff, and their miraculous efforts to heal players within seconds today. Jock Cartier - To counter the Bombers hurry-up offense. the Riders use a fake-injury defense #CFL ?‍?One redeeming point about this game...now the Lions are in last place ?‍?Seems ironic, but it's the Bombers who are giving up explosion plays O'Shea: A win against one team and a loss against another does not define us. Go back to the fundamentals... we will be fine. #Bombers Gary Lawless - just listened to O'Shea's post-game comments. It's no secret I love the guy. Smart and measured. @Wpg_BlueBombers win next week. book it. .......?‍? This guy is such a beast! Next game...feed the beast! ?‍?The Banjo Bowl can't come soon enough! ?‍?Bombers to Chris Jones - Hey you're cramping our style.. ?‍?Still trying to figure out the reasoning behind not having a game plan to attack the Rider D with our two back running game... ?‍?Duron Carter getting all the love about a one-handed catch...while Dressler's one-handed grab barely gets a mention? ?‍?The TV views of Chris Jones going off on his players is remarkable to watch. Just screaming away at them. How long will it last before they say in their minds. "Fixx you" ?‍?Had our chance to do something in the 2nd half..but 2 and outs came about. 8 points to 4? ?‍?I think we're coming after you Saskatchewan...at the Banjo Bowl... ?‍?That's all I'm writing....my hand is cramping up
  18. This is utter bullfrog... those fake injuries, and make no mistake, they were fake, goes against Coaching standards that exist now and have been in place for years. This is Jones, and Jones only. This is the standard he is teaching his players on how to play football. And they are lapping it up. It's no damn coincidence that magically, injuries pop up exactly when we're going to hurry up. I would never feel comfortable using these methods to win with, now how did Jones put it? Oh yeah "win with class" Now these weren't the reasons why we lost, but it's pretty chintzy if you ask me.
  19. I can't remember where, but I read the Riders will be wearing throwback uniforms today...?or was it the Riders ARE uniformly throwbacks? ?or was it anything that they throw at us, we'll throwback better? Geez, this memory of mine...
  20. So, does anybody know if our Bombers is gone?
  21. Speaking of Matt Nichols. It's time to recognize and celebrate... #TodayInBlueBomberHistory Sept 2, 2015 - the #Bombers acquire QB Matt Nichols from Edmonton. #MattyIce #ForTheW #OnceABomberAlwaysABomber A win tomorrow would be a great celebration...
