That's the cumulative effect of officials looking right at serious infractions but not making calls. Eg. the Adams, Bighill incident - just no excuse for not throwing a flag for that infraction, and it is just one example among many. I know it's a tough job, but I cannot understand how you can be looking right at something like that and not throw the flag.

I would say he's capable of centering one of the best checking lines in the league.

My apologies for issuing an incomplete statement: Hamilton had a combined total of 227 yards of offense in that game. To clarify the stat even further, that is total offense, not net offense. The Bombers are first in rushing, last in passing, 6th in net offense (346 yards / game), tied for second in offensive TDs, second in total points scored, and 4th in offensive points scored. If they were relying heavily on throwing the ball, most of the above stats would be much lower. Which makes the most recent loss to Hamilton even more of a mystery.

Being a sucker for punishment, I looked at those stats again. We lost to a team that passed for 150 yards. It really has been a woulda, coulda, shoulda - kind of season.

Lose the juice box - it’s Friday night.

Just giving 17to85 a hard time. 😄

Very informative - I didn't even know he owned a donkey.

Wait...I figured it out. They can't dress him right away because they weren't planning to make a move for him in the first place.

Hopefully we beat the crap out of Montreal and the Lapo trolls go back under their bridges.

I wasn't even aware of the exact timeline, thanks for that.

Fair points - the other teams don't even have a weekly coach's show. I have listened to our show once this year - it was a waste of time. The Collaros story could have been handled better - it doesn't look good, punkt.

Personally, I don't care one way or the other. But... When someone had a scoop about something that was obviously legit, but the Head Coach flatly denies it and presents it as an impossibility, and basically says the media is out to lunch... ...then a few days later it turns out to be true. All he had to say was...yes...we have made some inquiries. It simply does not look good, from an organization that has usually had a good public image.

See, that's just it; they were TRYING to bring in a veteran - but making it sound like they weren't. Unless Pinball has a magic wand that suddenly made a trade appear after he was hired (hmmmm I think I'll call Winnipeg now).

THE DRY SUMMER... It has been a drier than average year / growing season. We had good moisture in the fall of 2018, and a winter with heavy snowfall. Even with that, it was almost too dry to seed in the spring. Minimal but timely summer rains produced an average crop in most places, with some areas of the province (eg. Neepawa) experiencing a complete crop failure. As for the current moisture: yes, it is wreaking havoc with the harvest and has cost several billion dollars in crop damage so far, with the damage to the soybean harvest still to be determined (eg. we still have 400 acres still out there, but soybeans are a tough crop). However, without this fall moisture, we'd be hoping for plenty of 'wet snowfall' (some snow has low moisture content) in order to seed again this coming spring. To conclude, the fall moisture has been both a blessing and a curse - it will have a significant impact on the MB. economy. Anyone who still thinks this wasn't a dry year...should talk to a farmer in the Neepawa area...they'll set you straight in a hurry.

Back in summer, sure, but not recently.

Even with fairly heavy snowfall from winter, this was a dry year. We've had years with 800 mm of precipitation - this year is not even close. A wet September doesn't suddenly make it a wet year.

^^ deeply moving scientific data...

Troll food - don’t eat it.

Pointless thread - locked.

Do you think it’s possible - for every QB that is recruited by the Bombers to be fool’s gold?

Don’t know what your game is - don’t waste your time quoting me.

Fair comment. Yesterday, by the end, it was clear that even the OL had given up.

If they run Harris down in the red zone, they would have come away with FGs and at least one major. This running attack at the 12 yard line? What the heck, let’s throw it deep, that’ll fool them for sure.

I don’t see any reason why he’d do it. I mean, he probably knows Lapo’s O but Lapo’s O doesn’t work.

For once, they didn’t have the pieces to replace the off - season exodus.
