The 3rd Scrivener

Essentially, the Riders played the same Edmonton team we did... and they demolished them. I wouldn't be surprised if the home team wins in Weeks 11 & 12.

As per Drew Edwards: The folks at @CFLonTSN are mixing up the crews this week so it’s Rod Black & @GlenSuitor for #Ticats v. #Bombers tonight. #CFL — Drew Edwards (@scratchingpost) August 9, 2015

This guy! Check out this #Ticats fan, who got @speedybanks87's signature tattooed on his forearm today. pic.twitter.com/782qk8NWkF — Hamilton Tiger-Cats (@Ticats) August 2, 2015 In light of this TiCats fan's decision to have Brandon Banks' signature tattooed on his forearm, what have you done as a Bomber fan that you regret the most?

Fair enough. Settled.

Please stop. You ruin discussion. Your signature is disgusting, you rip on people who contribute to the site where you glean some measure of status with your ******* post count, and the irony of your user name has rusted away. Please stop.

Have to enjoy it while you can, Hamilton is the next stop on the roller-coaster ride. I think we match up well against Hamilton. It'll be a much better game than the first go-around. I'm really looking forward to next weekend! All depends on whether a certain Willy remains upright. Hmmm - you just forced me to think of other upright Willys.

One would almost think you, then, being the amazing fans that you are, would actually discuss football and not other fans. They may only come to crap on the team after losses... but you seem to crap on them win or lose. :-)

Mattie G seemed to get down on himself for some of the mistakes. He was animated coming off the field a few times - looked like he was upset. He's a pure rookie with a ton of grit - he'll be a solid lineman in a few years... I'm really happy with him getting these game reps now.

In the first half, Calgary ran all over the Bombers with the Cornish direct snap play at least three times. After the half, Calgary out-coached Winnipeg by running a direct snap to Cornish then reverse... Our team appeared to be prepared for the direct snap, but we got burned on the reverse. Then, of course, they ran a direct snap to Cornish, no reverse, later in the game for a big gain. Also - I thought we were lucky on the missed trick punt play that Calgary ran. We were flat-footed, and again failed to recognize the wildcat direct snap. I can't think of a time when the wildcat has worked so well for one team. Is this another well-known hole in Etch's system - or was Calgary just the first to expose it?

Westerman would be a solid pickup. Quality National defensive lineman are worth their weight in gold. Didn't Joe Mack trade up in the 2012 draft to take a run at Westerman? He played in the M.A.C. a conference that plays a similar style of game to the CFL and, at the time, we had 8 or 9 MAC players on the roster. When Buono swooped in and took this beast, Mack threw a dart at the draft board and hit Pencer... the pick that saw draft war rooms around the league sprayed with water and coffee as GMs laughed at our horrendous pick.

How many (non special teams) plays does Cornell get in on each game?

Thank goodness. In my section on Thursday, you could hear "Oh Louie!" cries after yet another penalty... it's like Odell Willis again (except for the huge plays).

It's time for #2 to take a hike. He's lost more than a step, and in much the same way that a few years ago we were guaranteed to get a big play out of him each game - now we're guaranteed to have our opponents burn him deep at least once per game. Flush #2 down the drain before we're responsible for the rest of this season's contract. (Like a band-aid Mack, quick and painless)

Easy there Big O.T. fan from Brandon! (I can only assume you've got a Glenn January jersey - as he's not only a good player, but (probably) a nice big O.T. as well).
