Hey I finally won something! Just want to say a quick thanks to Morning Big Blue... pretty cool that we can have these contests... no entry fee and winner walks away with a little something. Thanks guys!

I find this hard to believe.. I have it on good authority that there is a conspiracy against the riders and every call always goes against them...

Thank Flutie!... that made me laugh Do you think the Argos would be better served playing in a suburb rather than downtown Toronto?

I was hoping for the unprecedented double win this year... pick em and lock of the week... I still have a shot at pick em... Thanks for nothing!

I'm pretty sure Toronto does have fans... they just don't go to the stadium... Mitch Marner and Austin Matthews were there... so naturally TSN's lead story is about how Marner is an Argo's fan and Babcock is from Sask... far more important than the game itself...

This is a good idea... the CFL should go to a curling-style format... double knockout for the west... single for the east... B-side winner (east) plays A-side runner up... I'm sure you're already aware of this... but something to keep in mind... Bomber were 2-0 vs Edm this year and Sask was 2-0 vs Tor this year... This sounds familiar... see below

I actually think people are being kind to Maas right now... I was watching that game with some family and I was discussing with my uncle when that play happened... neither of us could come up with any logical reason to kick the FG there... even if you don't make 3rd and 4, you turn the ball over and still need to force a 2 and out... it just doesn't make any sense, even after days of reflection... I was strongly opposed to O'Shea's decision to kick a 61 yarder in Vancouver last year... but at least it made sense... the FG ties the game... this one had absolutely zero logic attached to it...

I'm pretty sure that myth only exists in the rectangle... you have to be a special combination of ignorant and arrogant to truly believe one fan base carries an entire league...

I think it just had more to do with re-adjusting to his weight and CFL game play... he was always a great player, just took some time to get back into CFL mode...

I guess I see the point but I would argue this picture looks worse than what actually happened... in this pic it looks like Butler is clothes-lining Glenn at full speed... but what actually happened is he pulled away from the hit and brushed his arm along Glenn's chest... so in reality, this picture proves nothing...

I'm not writing him off yet... but dropping that 3rd down catch which would've kept the game alive... is a tough to swallow...

That's exactly it though... outside of the rectangle nobody thinks of him as anything but a green, fan boy shill...

Cool, what do I win?... Dammit, don't tell me this was all just for pride!

Trade him for a 37-year old linebacker?... no thanks... I'd much rather have a few draft picks...

(1) Having an Imp MLB would require putting 2 Canadians on the D-line at all times... our D-line was clearly most dominant with Nevis and Poop playing together... (2) They were able to start 4 Americans on the D-line b/c they were starting 5 Canadians on offense with Bond out (Neufeld, Goose, Chungh, Harris, Coates)... I really think we can look at starting 5 Canadians on offense next year... if Bond leaves we can start Neufeld, Coture or Gray (fingers crosed) at LG... if Bond is still around, I think we can start Adams, Dressler, new impact wr (not really holding my breath), Coates and JFG/Wolitarsky...

First of all, he's a coordinator, not a position coach... Secondly, of course the team would let him interview... the real question is does LaPo want to interview for a HC job?

Just curious if you know the background of who you're arguing with... have you played NCAA and CFL?

If the Bombers finish first in the division.... it's impossible for them to be in the east finals...

I don't think anyone disagrees with this... problem is consistency... we saw that penalty called earlier in the game (I can't remember the play but I remember saying to my friend I'm surprised they didn't give them a free play)... at that point the precedent is set... so it needs to be called that way going forward...

Funny I actually said this at the beginning of the season... I suggested that the coaches felt the "sum of parts" was better with Nevis, Poop, and Hurl starting... rather than Thomas, Nevis and Import MLB...

I'm a little surprised Neufeld was re-signed... I thought he might look for a starting job/pay raise somewhere else... but I guess he knows he has a chance to start if Bond is gone... curious to know if he's taken more/less/same amount of money...

Does Brett Jones count? I like this idea... assuming Medlock is on board with the pay/responsibilities decrease... then we have a game-day back up at both positions... and Briere can get some valuable lessons from one of the best...

I actually completely agree with you here... I still cannot believe how criminally underused Harris is... the guy had 120 yards on 15 touches Sunday... so my first question is why didn't he have 25 touches?? ... And he was playing with more heart than anyone I've seen in a long time... I say every game, give 33 the ball!... we were joking that they finally figured out how to get that first play after a short yardage with LeFevour working... he hands the ball to Harris...

This is really interesting... because my thought when watching it live (confirmed via replay) is the execution was poor... it looked like someone whiffed the block on Watson and he was able to saunter into the backfield to make the tackle... BTW, why is Cory Watson a better tackler than half of our defense?? Watch the replay: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/11/12/recap-edmonton-39-winnipeg-32/ I'm not sure if this link takes you to the moment I paused it... if not, jump to 1:25... if Watson is blocked Flanders has a huge hole with nothing but green in front of him... I bet he gets at least 10 yards on the play...

I didn't say a comeback was likely... but a team is not letting off the gas with that score and that much time left in a CFL game....
