This probably indicates that the players do not like the scenario of delaying games or the CFL is focusing on the bottom line cost of these delays.

You need to look at the strategy LaPo employs, Nichols throws the check down because it's a given gain, the objective is to avoid the 2nd and 10 situations which often lead to two and outs, stalling drives short of Medlock's range. They can't run Harris on every down, so better to pick up 5 yds. on 1st down than taking the greater risk of throwing an incomplete pass and facing 2nd and 10 with the D anticipating the 10 yd. pass. If the primary receiver is open great, but it's not always the case. Give credit where it's due, it may be a boring conservative strategy but it does move the ball effectively and consistently which produces a majority of wins, even if some fans don't like it. I don't think Nichols gives a rat's ass about his stats. and LaPo is not in the entertainment business, he prefers to count body blows which wear down the opponent rather than throwing hay-makers attempting to knock them out cold.

None of us know the exact reasons the league made the rule but they probably had logical reasons for doing so. Once a rule is made, it has to be followed, end of story.

Wow, JSK still sitting on the 6 game, I didn't realize his injury was that serious.

Now that's funny!

Have you conveniently forgotten what happened to Nichols the last time he misplayed his slide?

Here is a complete stats. run down, which proves winning this game was not a fluke. Nichols 81.% pass completion - Arbuckle 62.9% Harris 100 yards rushing -Williams 21 yards Medlock 4 for 4 on field goals - Paredes 1 for 1 Winnipeg 7 for 222 yard on punt returns (two for TDs) - Calgary 4 for 22 yards Winnipeg 4 for 84 yards on kick returns - Calgary 3 for 68 yards Winnipeg 33.41 mins. possession time - Calgary 26.59 mins. Winnipeg 2 interceptions - Calgary 0 Winnipeg 103.79 QB efficiency - Calgary 62.9 Winnipeg 26 - Calgary 24

H.H. to Desjarlais, replaced Spooner and did well handling a frustrated Cordarro Law.

WTF

...and when it works, like it did, it is a brilliant strategy to close out the game.

I thought the league made the decision when they changed the rules that if the play was on the other side of the field and had no impact on the play they were not going to call it. Utter bullshit.

Substitute Flanders a real R.B., for Demski and the play works brilliantly. There was a trade-off when they made that switch, but since they aren't making much use of Demski's receiving ability, the payoff has not been fully realized.

T.O.P. Bombers 33:41, Stamps 26:19, despite two S.T. TD's that kept the Bomber offence off the field in the first half. If Nichols couldn't move the ball, how do you explain that differential?

This game showed that the team has grit, glory hallelujah. They defeated Calgary and it wasn't won on luck.

Classic Bomber team win, whether it's Medlock kicking 5 FG's, the D causing multiple turnovers, ST returns, or Harris carrying the O on his back, it's all good for the W.

Your full explanation is welcome, if you have one.

Most annoying thing is that play is planned by Dickenson.

Maybe, maybe not, at least with Nichols the surprise element is intact. Not surprised he didn't make it though.

Saved Hecht's butt, he was 10 yds. behind.

This one is usually pretty good. http://myfeed2all.eu/type/american-football.html

I'm hedging my bets, picked the Stamps in the "pickems" that way even if the Bombers get beat up, I keep my lunch money.

What happened to Alex Green? I thought he looked pretty dynamic last year. Injuries are a concern with Marshall but he is a very good RB when healthy.

If a gun was handy, death by poisonous plant would be a really bad choice. From the looks of the boat they allegedly used they may have been naive enough to think they could ride the Nelson all the way to Hudson Bay, but in the end they really had no hope of surviving in that corner of the world. Flat bottomed boat on a fast flowing river would be moving about 40 mph with little way to slow it down.

Very true, Masoli would have beat them last week and Adams would probably beat them this week. Nuthin' but horseshoes fuelling their streaking comet.
