EDM @ BC
Hey c'mon now... he consistently has at least one offsides penalty a game

Regular Season Bomber News
I think this would be stating the obvious, but he is clearly just washing his hands of IGF, as for the Jets... they seem to be incapable of wrongdoing in this city, hence the free pass.

What?!? I want paid pooping breaks!

Next Up - Toronto Comes To Town For Friday Night Football - Sellout IGF
Well, seeing as how Andrew Harris was born in 1987, he would've been 20 at the time and still playing in the CIS, so I bet he cares... Also, O'Shea was playing for the Argos in 2007, so he'd probably remember it too, I would think.

Okay.... for starters, at most during the regular season you get 2 home games against a divisional opponent, so that's just not possible, but since you asked, here's the game dates and attendance: 2017 Friday, July 7 (CAL) - 30,165 Thursday, August 17 (EDM) - 30,554 Saturday, September 9 (SSK) - 33,134 2018 Saturday, September 8 (SSK) - 33,134

I would argue a much better gauge of d-line success is not only QB sacks, but also average rushing yards against. I compiled the week 3 results (per CFL.ca) and manually added in week 4 using the official box scores...here's the total opponent rushing yards and opponent yards per attempt, by team. As well as their record: Team - Total yards - Attempts - YDs/Attempt WPG - 128 - 34 - 3.76 - (3-0) CGY - 304 - 78 - 3.89 - (2-1) OTT - 300 - 70 - 4.28 - (2-1) TOR - 294 - 60 - 4.90 - (0-3) SSK - 382 - 72 - 5.30 - (1-3) BC - 486 - 90 - 5.40 (0-3) MTL - 331 - 61 - 5.43 (1-2) EDM - 270 - 48 - 5.62 (2-1) HAM - 576 - 94 - 6.12 (3-1) So in terms of stopping the run, SSK is adequate at best. Also, your argument neglects the fact SSK has played an extra game than WPG, so of course they have more stats - I would be very surprised if they didn't... they have about 40 more offensive plays to get said stats.

This is just straight up false. We broke 29,000 3x in 2017, and once in 2018. Don't spout lies.

Lol... even his stock is subject to a dead cat bounce, I guess.
-
B.C. /T.O. Calg/Sask
Yep... 2015 he returned a punt for a 93 yard TD against the Argos in preseason... tore his ACL in the final preseason game and was released thereafter. Far as I can tell, never played a regular season game for another team.

Looks like the lights at the bar just came on for 'Riders fans... They just realized how ugly the QB they've been dancing with is lol
-
B.C. /T.O. Calg/Sask
You're neglecting to count the largest cohort of 'Rider fans - fish flies, mosquitoes and other beings that have a larval stage.

B.C. /T.O. Calg/Sask
That is just pathetic

B.C. /T.O. Calg/Sask
If you told me at the start of the year, the Lions could be out of the gate (potentially) at 0-4, I would not have believed you.

3 stars plus HH red black n blues
HH to Lankford on Medlock's onside recovery ... only someone as inept as him at returning kicks could manage to concede a turnover without actually touching or fumbling the ball.

FTFY.

QB Accuracy Rankings
As far as I can tell, T.J. Thorpe has dropped off the face of the earth... where are all those people saying we should've kept him when he asked to be released?...

Bombers @ Lewis Ward's 47 yard missed FG Pre-game Thread
Just thought I'd mention it for others on here too...TSN now offers per-day rates ($4.99 + tax), for access to their channels, so you could use that, provided you have an internet connection.

GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
Let SSK just have him now. He's dead to me.

GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
At this point they'll have to put paper bags on top of the cardboard cutouts that were already there.

GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
Actually, Hamilton has the only two winless seasons in CFL history (1949; 0-12-0, 1946;0-10-2). They also have the worst record in the 18-game era (2003; 1-17-0)

GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
He was also very selfish, never wanted to pass protect...
-
GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
Hey that's not entirely true, they have a pretty good statistical category section that isn't subject to their poor analysis. Nic Grigsby says hi.
-
GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
Why even bother showing up?
-
GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
While I agree with your assessment, it is the CFL and anything could happen... just hoping for a good game and not another blowout against the Argos.

GDT: Argos @ 'Riders
Join the rest of the nation and celebrate one of our country's greatest pastimes - watching the 'Riders lose! Celebrations start 7:00PM ET as we mark the 2nd anniversary of the first ever loss at Mosaic Stadium, hopefully they can continue their trend of ineptitude with a spectacular 0-3 start to the year!
