I am fine with this. Let them keep punching other teams in the mouth.

3 stars plus hh
Jefferson's unofficial stat line tonight: 3 sacks, 1 pass knockdown, 3 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 1 onside kick recovery and a punt single (rouge) for a single point. HH - V. Diggs for Edmonton for tackling the ref - gave us 15 yards.

GDT - Bombers vs Esks
Right... forgot about this. Onward and upwards!

GDT - Bombers vs Esks
I am not sure how I feel about this... his win-loss record to-date is 52-47-0 (52.5 win %), whereas the lofty coaches he's saddled with are 63.75% (Bud Grant) and 62.32% (Cal Murphy).

It's time to hand the ball to McGuire
You're right... he was dressed provocatively too, did you see the way his helmet was strapped on? Practically begging for a blindside hit from behind.

I think in policing, they refer to this as "victim shaming"

Week Of: Bombers @ Esks
Sure, then Nichols came back and they took it to 'em when it counted most in the playoffs.

Week Of: Bombers @ Esks
No, he did not get pulled, you're thinking of the Banjo Bowl. His stat line in the LDC was pretty ugly though: 14/26 (53.8%) for 166 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs

Week Of: Bombers @ Esks
No way... no crossover team has ever won a Grey Cup. As for the game Friday, if they lose, I just hope its by 6 points or less - we don't play Edmonton again, so a loss by 7+ points would give EDM the tiebreaker over us.

Nichols Injury
I'd take Bridge over LeFevour solely for his Canadian passport... they're both terrible.

Nichols Injury
Came here for discussion on Nichols' band-aids/temporary QB fixes... and this thread has been derailed by Neufeld's injury?

Canadian Politics
Politically speaking, I agree that'll be the likely result. Though the Conservatives have done some shady things in their tenure, such as intentionally manipulating their financial statements, resulting in a qualified (i.e., bad) audit opinion: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-deficit-lower-finance-1.4842239

Canadian Politics
To all of you Manitobans: In the coming provincial election, you can elect to decline your ballot. As for federally, I wish we had the option to decline our ballot... they're all dogs, Trudeau lies like a sidewalk, Scheer seems like he'd sell his Grandma for a nickel, and Singh is so out of touch with the working class reality it's preposterous.

The Video Game Thread
Not sure if this was mentioned earlier, but if you've got a 360, you can get this... has save state feature and lots of other good blast-from-the-past games on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic's_Ultimate_Genesis_Collection

Week 10 Other Games
Adams Jr. got the ball with 1:40 left in the game which is the same amount of time Nichols had in the comeback over those same Als on July 27, 2017 (41-40). Apparently, that's the magic number to get two scores in the CFL.

Lol the Montreal radio announcers called it the "Command Centre Miracle". Also who the heck is Eugene Lewis

Nichols Injury
Guy behind me at Thursday's game: They should really just let Streveler run the offense, sure he makes more mistakes, but he's so much more exciting than Nichols. Me: So is Russian Roulette.

Neat!

Guys on Toronto 1050 just mentioned the Argos to-date do not have a rushing touchdown 0_o

Week 10 Other Games
Yeah, they're a second half team*, for sure. *They're not actually a second half team, they're deservedly 1-6 and somehow LaPo's play calling completely shifts when they have the lead and he devolves from being an offensive guru into Marcelle Bellefeuille.

It's time to hand the ball to McGuire
Mike Reilly suffered a knee injury in the season opener. of 2015, he also played (poorly) with a broken bone foot in the 2014 playoffs. Point is...every player in football at some point gets injured. It's only a matter of time. Besides, those are just the injuries serious enough that they've been disclosed, who know how many times guys have played through sprains and other minor ailments?
-
It's time to hand the ball to McGuire
The guy has come back from a broken leg (2012), torn ACL (2013) and a non-contact knee injury (2018). He also played through the 2017 playoffs with a broken ring finger and got absolutely walloped on the play that knocked him out of the game yesterday. Since the start of the 2015 season, Mike Reilly has played exactly 1 more game (72 of 90) than Matt Nichols (71 of 90). Our QB may be alot of things, but "soft" as you imply, is not one of them.

3 stars plus HH Bc sucks
HH to BC coaching staff for having so little trust in their own D they felt they had to start the game off with an onside kick.

It's time to hand the ball to Streveler.
They tried this last week with Andrew Harris taking the direct snap, with Streveler as the fake on a jet sweep... it was called back unfortunately due to a procedure penalty on Stanley Bryant. In the vid below, it occurs at 1:16:46:

It's time to hand the ball to Streveler.
Small sample size for 2019, yes... but just thought others might be interested in their career numbers: Career stats (per CFL.ca) Streveler: 95 / 153 (62%) 1,216 yards, 12 TDs - 7 INTs. He throws a pick about 4.6% of the time. Nichols: 1,572 / 2,361 (66%) for 18,184 yards, 107 TDs - 59 INTs. He throws a pick about 2.5% of the time. So Streveler is a more risky QB purely in terms of INT chance, obviously there are more factors at play here, I find the numbers interesting nonetheless though. Also food for thought - Streveler has a better average yardage per completed pass (12.8 yards per pass, Nichols is only 11.6 yard per pass).
