Rapsheet, as in Ian Rappaport?... Or is this another source I've never heard of

Is that 46% TDs or just scoring in general?... I hope the former

Your right, Goalie, stats don't tell the whole story. For example, due to scores off fumbles and picks, Winnipeg's defence contributed to our 397 total points scored. The most telling stat IMHO is TD percentage, and that stat is calculated by dividing the number of touchdowns by the number of times the team was in the red zone. By that measurement Bombers were dead last in the league at 2.6% - a very inefficient offence that repeatedly failed to capitalize on the many chances it was given. You're right... the bombers were to only team to get scoring from defense and special teams this year... Also, I haven't looked up this stat... but 2.6% seems far too low... Where are you getting the redzone and TD numbers from? OK, looking more closely Ottawa was last in terms of TD percentage and we were next to the bottom. Link: http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/football/cfl/stats/teams/?sort=Yrd Except that stat isn't TDs per redzone attempt... it's probably TDs per possession... you're trying to tell me Calgary only scored a TD one in every 20 redzone trips... and us, one or two in every 50??? c'mon man

Apparently they just experimented in college but nothing serious developed. Does. Not. Compute... Can you imagine... me soaking his cork.... and him, soaking mine?

I think the real question here is... who in their right mind is up at 4:16 am?!?!

What... nobody voted for Greg Marshall??? My vote is Benevides... simply cuz BC has had a very good D for a long time... I also like Richie Hall

I'm pretty sure he had 2 "Boyd Autobody crunch of the game" hits last year!

Interesting blog... granted the source has an obvious bias... but still nice to read about some of the inner workings of the team

Just to clarify... this is what I got from Kim's posts... 1. Royal Blue is 100% back next year 2. Bombers have already signed Ben Heenan and Tyler Holmes to multi-year deals 3. Through a series of trades, Bombers now have 3 first round picks 4. George Cortez and Mark Washington are confirmed as our new coordinators. 5. Girls like football Did I miss anything?

This seems like a breach of Barber/customer confidentiality... that's a thing, right?

yep, that's exactly right...

This.... and this.... make the most sense

Two things I thought were funny when I first read this yesterday... him citing his great practice stats... and he thinks it's his choice that he's out of football... that's about it...

exactly what I was thinking... great signing...

Nice... I like the simplistic look of the logo... just like the Royal Blue uniforms...

I think someone already stated in this thread that there won't be much options outside of newbies and retreads... any CFL coach with a good track record will be unavailable.... only maybe/sleeper could be Scott Milanovich... I agree!

I'm not really sure about Dallas but I know St Louis is very deep at D-line... he was a long-shot to make the team, no matter what his sexual orientation is... from day one they knew it would likely come down to Sam vs Ethan Westerbrooks... and Westerbrooks was very good in camp and pre-season... that was truely a football decision

Basically Quinn Everett is a project and we'll be lucky if he is good enough to start in a couple years... any higher expectation is unrealistic at this point...

That is surprising... count me in as one who thought he would be an Oregon state lifer... but Nebraska is a pretty sweet gig... he inherits a good team and good program that can win the Big 10 every year... good for him....

Hate to see good Canadians leave the CFL.... but best of luck to Jones in his NFL endeavour...

I hope everyone read the title of this thread in the Jerry Seinfeld voice.... And yes, I'll definitely be going to the game...

figuratively...

This site is absolutely my #1 source for Bomber news and info... thanks Mods for all the behind-the-scenes work... I think some kind of Grey Cup week gathering would be a great idea...

I feel like this is gonna be a fun discussion...
