Is MOS Our Danny Barrett?
Agreed - you can't call out the fan base like that, even if some people were booing him. Just makes for an even more toxic environment next time things go south at home. I like what Harris had to say about Nichols' post-game comments: “Shoot, that’s the way it is, man. Our fans are great. We love our fans, they expect winning football and that’s what they deserve. But Matt also deserves a lot of respect, a lot of credit and tonight, for whatever reason, he didn’t get that. But the whole offence deserved to be booed today, myself included.” (Source: https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/08/19/upon-review-ott-44-wpg-21/) At least Harris is owning the fact the offense was a big reason for the loss Friday.

Why would he blame the NFL and their coaches? He's already publicly stated that he could go and play in the NFL, if he wanted to. He just doesn't want to.- 3 stars plus hh otta be better then this
HH to Lankford for stinking up the place more than his usual self. Maybe, just maybe, this will finally be enough to get his sorry butt kicked to the curb and give some of our other backups a chance to shine.- That was painful...
The sky isn't falling people; here's how I see it: Calgary - No CFL has gone undefeated in the current 18-game format. The big advantage here is our home game against them is in Week 19. Assuming the Stamps keep up their torrid pace, they might've already locked up first at this point, which could mean an easy win for the Bombers if they rest their regular starters. If they somehow are unbeaten still at that point - you don't think the Bombers would be frothing at the mouth to hand them their first loss of the season? Edmonton - we only lost by 3 with Streveler at the helm, I think we come out ahead in two of three phases (defense / special teams, though EDM D also looks awful). A split here is reasonable. Saskatchewan - Even with a stronger D for Sask - I think we still come out ahead in the other two phases (offense / special teams), also two of these are at home, which should help the Blue and Gold here. Also - a SSK win tonight might mean they think they are world beaters heading into the back-to-back against us. Ottawa - I would argue our team was fat and happy on Friday night and underestimated Ottawa. The end result was a blowout, but remember that up until the 3rd quarter, we had kept it close before a major defensive breakdown. Nichols' fumble was the straw that broke the camel's back, as even at that point they were driving and it was still a two-possession game (score was 30-14 at that point). Montreal - The general consensus here is this game is a bingo space for us. So a win against OTT, EDM, one against SSK and against MTL gives us 4...meaning 9-9. Win the season series against SSK and beat up CAL's backups in week 19 gives us 6, making us 11-7.- That was painful...
Agreed. Personally, I think whoever wins that season series goes to the post-season.- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
Way to go TSN - listing the EDM/MTL game as final with over 8 minutes left. You dolts, this is why people consider CFL a bush league.- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
No see, that's my point.- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
> Too many deep shots resulting in 2-and-outs. > Not taking enough deep shots to stretch the D. Pick one?- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
I know hindsight is 20/20, but to think BC ended up trading Reilly to the Esk's for draft picks that materialized into Seydou Junior Haidara and Tchissakid Player back in 2013...- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
I understand all turnovers are reviewed, but man, these refs have to make announcements when something is under review, even if it is automatic. To some casual fans in attendance, this just looks like the refs are standing around for no apparent reason. Even if they just said "the previous play is automatically under review by the command center" would be warranted.- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
RE: Alouettes offense YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
How is he even allowed on the field in that situation? Isn't that the equivalent of not wearing your helmet or improper use of equipment?- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
Why the short kick there? Maas with an O'Shea-style blunder.- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
Best described as comfortably numb.- Leos @ Argos / Als @ Esks
Our Bombers D is one for the record books.... Ottawa broke the record for most successful 2 point conversions in a single game (4) last night. So, there's that. - Duron Carter Kicked Off The Farm
