Bomber Bye Week: The Kavis Reed Short Rope Edition
Yeah sure... like the Esks would ever trade an MOP winning QB to Toronto for nothing... Editors note: I'm pretty sure I've made this joke here before...

What to do about the D?
He also knows when to put in the 3rd string QB on a potentially Grey Cup winning play... Oh wait... no he doesn't b/c the answer is never!

The next three
I have to 100% disagree with the thread premise... Ottawa is a good football team and although they will be playing without Trevor Harris (likely) they will not be taken lightly... Edmonton is never an easy game... and Hamilton should be easily winnable, but they have been resembling an actual football team in the past two weeks... We could easily go 3-0 over this stretch... but could just as easily go 1-2... luckily I have full faith in Mike O that he will never let these guys get complacent...

Is it time for Davis...
My guess is you are actually in a the strong majority with this opinion...

Banjo bowl name
this might be the dumbest CFL article I've ever read... seriously, I think (and I might be wrong but it seems this way) that the Rider fans embrace the name and the game as much as Bomber fans...

CFL mid-season review, re-assessment
this is a really interesting point... I haven't analyzed the schedule to see if this is impossible but it is looking more and more like 5th in the west will have a better record than 1st in the east... which would be extremely unfortunate for the team that misses out when two lesser teams make the show...

THE MORNING AFTER...WITH COFFEE
I would say we celebrated Saskatchewan day the most appropriate way... with Saskatchewan losing... Putting aside Matt Nichols spectacular numbers... the leadership of that guy is unmatched by anyone in the CFL right now... Reilly is a more talented player all around, and Mitchell just wins... but find me a player on the Bombers - O, D or ST - that isn't 100% committed to Nichols as our leader... hint: you won't

Lock of the Week 12
So all I have to do it wait til KBF picks... then pick the same guy... and I'm guaranteed victory! Just kidding... I'll make my pick before looking at the thread... and I won't pick the same guy if KBF beats me to it...

Smoke 'n' Mirrors
Thanks for the replay... shows it quite clearly... I agree that "accidental" PI is an odd call, but this is far from the first time I've seen it called... but if it didn't exist, guys are talented and smart enough to get away with accidental PI all the time... and 10 yards or half the distance (in this case) is much better than spot of the foul...

CFL to make announcement in Winnipeg
Might be a good opportunity to do a MBB gathering... Also, have to think Ottawa gets years 3.... maybe Edmonton

What to do about the D?
haha, I'm surprised no one has jumped on this yet... technically he should be considered this year's EJ Kuale... since Macho only played 4 or 5 games last year...

3 stars plus HH LDC edition.
I really hope that doesn't happen... b/c it will benefit the Riders in two ways... since these fake injuries happen when we're on offense the stadium will be really loud at an inopportune time... we're already bad enough for making noise with our offense on the field....
-
What to do about the D?
I have to agree... this roster management is getting really frustrating... the only two offensive weapons that looked dangerous lat week were Flanders and Harris... so why not get another guy like that (Thorpe) in the line-up... And our pass rush has been almost non-existent that last two weeks... Poop hasn't played... coincidence?

Lock of the Week 12
Lots of pressure, down to crunch time here... I'm going to go for the jinx pick Naaman Roosevelt

Unbiased Commentary
I agree, Gord is surprisingly good on CFL broadcasts... what can he possible be doing during the summer that he can't do CFL?... Anything to get Rod Black off the air...

What will be different in the Banjo Bowl?
Well, if you want to be exact... it was 4 points

New DB arriving?
It makes me feel old that the father of a current Bomber was still playing football in 2000...
-
New DB arriving?
I always found it curious that Roc was said to be filling in nicely at SAM during the pre-season when Leggett was out... yet he was never given that same opportunity in the regular season....

Labour Day Classic: Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan
I, too, am intrigued by this... someone spouts off a random accusation as fact with absolutely nothing to support it... Curious to see where this goes... or did the troll catch his bait?
-
What to do about the D?
you are correct about this... however, read the post by @Booch on page 4 of this thread and he explains how it might work...

Labour Day Classic: Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan
I would be embarrassed if my kid played on a football team that pulled a move like this...
