I know this place can get pretty negative after a loss. The loss sucks, but that was a really fun game to be at

My hh would be dressler for following through on the last play and stopping the TD. It didn't matter, the game was lost, and he was still pure effort.

I hope you're right. I'll be at the game with a Lions fan, we've got a beer per sack wager for the game.

I'll be there

Just tell him to tell the team he's rethought things, and has his heart set on wearing 85, so if they could put him in 85 it would be great. Don't do that. Stegall is a god

When we're 2nd and long, if we do go 2 and out, I'd prefer to see us not convert on a play that would have been a first down, instead of punting on 3rd and medium after a 4 yard pass. I wish someone kept a stat on completed 2nd down passes that don't result in 1st down. I suspect we lead the league.

we're always going to play too conservative. It's been the Lapolice way in every stint has it not. I commented in the chat yesterday in the third quarter it looked like MOS must have tied Lapo up and left him in the locker room because we actually threw the ball downfield. By the 4th quarter classic Lapolice was back unfortunately. I could be biased because I've never liked his coaching style, but I believe our wins are in spite of our O-coordinator, not because of his playcalling.

Wasn't the prettiest game, but glad we picked up the W. I picked up some cheap ($200 round trip) flights into Winnipeg for the Argo's game on the 13th, and I'll be headed to Vancouver for the following week for the game there. Will be rocking my Denmark jersey, bombers are 3-0 in games I've worn it to. Prior to that they were 0-x in my lifetime going to games (that's what I get for going to games primarily in Alberta)

**edit** correcting math. Looks like you have a few too many wins 84 wins vs 76 losses. Easiest fix is change the riders to 0-18

It's not like QB's had terrible completion percentages against us last year. Yes we had lots of picks, but man did we let QB's pick us apart on any play that wasn't a turnover. Hoping this year the D line can manage some pressure to help the secondary out. If they can't Ray could pick us apart.

My only jersey was a Doug Brown, so at the end of the 2015 season decided to pick up a new one. Went with Denmark thinking it's safe cause he's too good to be cut After buying the jersey we sign Dressler and Smith, Denmark gets cut So now I'm wondering if I should bother wearing it on my road trip to the Lions game Then he signs with SK, jersey gets retired before being worn. Can't wear it if he's an active Rider Cut by riders, signed with bombers. Got cheap flights to Winnipeg for the banjo bowl, wore Denmark jersey, disappointed by the amount of Dressler riders jerseys. Same way I wouldn't wear a bombers Denmark if he was playing in SK, riders shouldn't be wearing their dressler while he's a bomber (imo) Wore it as well to the game in BC. Bombers are now 2-0 in games I wear my denmark jersey to. I think they were 0-everything for games I went to in the Brown jersey, mainly since the typical games I go to are in Calgary/Edmonton

edit *asked and answered

as per Farhan Lalji montreal has a deal with BC to get back into the first round, pending a certain player being available. Doesn't impact us as that pick would be at 7.

1 hour for every yard he recommends passing for on 2nd and long?

Every company I've worked for you have your new vacation allotment January 1st. Even when it comes to quitting to switch companies lots of people wait until bonus time. Last time I changed companies I switched in March for that exact reason. Got my bonus from the prior company and got out.

No different from any other job. Pretty much every single person I've worked with that has retired lets the calendar year roll over, gets their bonus, takes their paid vacation and then retires. Nobody retires in December and passes up on the bonus and vacation pay.

I'm comparing draft day perception. Who perceived Scheifele as a stud when the Jets drafted him at 7? Nobody I was watching the draft did. It was mainly jokes about how the Jets are still drafting as bad as the Jets 1.0 did

different sport, not an exact correlation, but by these standards was Mark Scheifele a bad pick in 2011 for the Jets? Ranked 16th, he was a bit of a reach at 7. Highly touted Sean Couturier was still available as well defenseman Dougie Hamilton amongst others ranked higher than Scheifele. That season Scheifele managed to get into 7 games for the Jets, earning 1 point. Couturier played 77 in Philadelphia, had a respectable rookie season and earned praise for his mature 2 way game for his age. The following year Scheifele had a 4 game audition with no points before being sent down. So at the draft, many, myself included thought the Scheifele pick was a miss when a guy like Couturier was available. A year later, it really looked like Couturier was the better pick. 2 years after the draft it was a bit murkier as Couturier hit the sophomore slump, but still had a year and a half of experience, Scheifele had 11 games. Fast forward to today, while the steal of the draft probably was Calgary with Gaudreau, Scheifele could end up being the best pick made in the 1st round. So not saying Richards will ever be useful, but the reason teams have pro GM's instead of forum member GM's is because you don't just run an autodraft based on the yahoo rankings. The pick may or may not work out, but there's no harm in holding off on judgement a bit longer before labeling it. Or like I labeled the Scheifele pick when it was made, questionable pick but time will tell. And in that case I was reminded why I'm not a pro scout/gm

I float in and out of wherever the discussion is during the game, whether it's a thread or chat. Found myself leaving the chat room a lot though because the ignore feature doesn't work in there, and I'd get driven out by the crap I don't want to read. So in some ways prefer a game day thread because the few users I don't want to hear from I don't see and can enjoy the rest of the discussion. So I'll still be here either way whether it's a GDT or chat room.

no source on this, I thought Medlock was the only kicker 100% on converts in 2016

I like it, it's nice lots of leg room. I've started going to watch there every year. Based on fan experience I'd move Ottawa to the top, was really fun to watch a game there, lots going on just around the stadium before the game. But BC is my favorite stadium to go to

Of the stadiums I've been to I'd rank them BC, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary

How many games played in each league? Cfl is what 81 games? NFL so far is probably double that played?

all you old people talking about this mythical Grey Cup win the Bombers are rumored to have had. I don't buy into religion because I'll believe it when I see it. I've never seen god or a miracle, or a Bombers Grey Cup win (that would cross miracle off the list at list if it happened)

At this point does O'shea have a contract for next year? I know there was a thread on extension talks, but don't recall if he ever signed an extension.
