Could have fooled me! I thought penalties were up to 119.2.

Did you know..

This is how Rider fans are trained.

[Adrenaline_x]

trained to **** on themselves?  Makes sense.

Did you know..

The Alouettes are last in pass attempts outside the left hash (88). And have thrown more of their passes outside the right hash (123)? - Nic Kowalski

And would the Bombers try this?

“Could the #Bombers line up Winston Rose and Marcus Sayles on the right and Marcus Rios and Chandler Fenner on the left rather than boundary and field sides? Unlikely, but something to ponder.” - Nic Kowalski

It really isn't a big enough of a difference to start changing the chemistry of the secondary.

That Canada's toilet bowl is in Regina 

and the plunger is in Toronto 

[Booch]

That's excellent! Most recent NFL stats I saw was around 80% of the time your team wins if you win the turnover battle.

Thats a big improvement from the era prior. 

[WBBFanWest]

DYK that the Bombers are perfect when they outscore the opponent at the end of the 4th quarter!

[Mr Dee]

DYK

-Last week two more clubs (CGY, SSK) trailed in the 4th Quarter and built drives that brought the winning points. That makes 17 times in 53 games (32%) that has occurred in 2019 compared to just 21 all last year. Cody Fajardo leads all QBs having directed 3 of them and 5 other QBs with 2 each.

-The two teams with the most explosive plays in 2019 are #1 in their Division - #1. HAM 40, #2. WPG 34.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that really before,” Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea was saying this week.

What he’s never seen before is two members of the same special teams unit tied for the CFL lead in tackles.

It’s happening right now, with Bombers teammates Mike Miller and Kerfalla Exume tied atop the list with 18 special teams takedowns apiece.

Miller recently passed O’Shea on the all-time list and now sits third with 178 special teams tackles, six back of Bombers president and CEO Wade Miller (no relation). He needs 12 more tackles to tie the all-time record, held by former B.C. Lion Jason Aragki.  Ted Wyman, Wpg. Sun

Last week, Winnipeg became the first team in our 'Possession/Drive Chart Data Era' to score a TD on their first 4 drives (2005-2019).

*The total margin of Winnipeg's 4 losses is just 12 points with defeats by 8, 1, 2 & 1 points in 2019.

Those 3 really close loses burn. 

We are 3-3 against the east. When was the last time the first seed in the west was .500 against the east.

Yes, they burn.

Just be grateful neither of those losses to Toronto or Montreal were the Grey Cup game. If it's going to happen it's way better to happen now.

Disagree- that time was the first or maybe the second third of the season, not the home stretch. Bob Irving said as much in his last interview with O'Shea.

#Bombers DC Richie Hall isn't at practice today. The team says he's away to deal with a personal matter. #wfp

Apparently, there was nothing to prevent him from leaving..

Hmmm...the only Sam Williams (linebacker) was born in 1980 and retired several years ago. This guy must be a clone.
