Posted September 15, 20186 yr comment_355806 Litmus test for HAM. Upper tier potential or just a faster turtle in the East.
September 15, 20186 yr comment_355819 I think your winning streak comes to an end today. As much as I would like to see Calgary stumble again, I just can't see it happening.
September 15, 20186 yr comment_355830 Well, with the Bombers on the sidelines and hoping for the crossover, mathematically speaking we actually want Calgary to win here (since it is pretty much impossible for us to catch them). Agree with szaroz71's assessment here though, Calgary is just too good of a team to lose three straight.

September 15, 20186 yr comment_355835 The idea of stinking it up for a bunch of games, then suddenly getting "hot" and winning it all through the old backdoor, bugs me. By now, the team, and its fans should be capable of/hoping for more than that. Edited September 15, 20186 yr by Mark F

It should because it would require a fluke of gigantic proportions. I believe the end for this team will come swiftly and decisively.
September 15, 20186 yr comment_355842 Having watched a few American games, I'm starting to think Bo Levi is right in thinking he's better than a lot of the starters down there. I'm not a fan of his attitude, but I can finally admit the guy is really good. he's got a real gift for moving in the pocket, avoiding the rush, while continuing to look downfield, find an open man, and connect. Accurate, with a strong arm, leading his man, weird stuff like that. He actually makes it look kind of easy. I hope he stays in the CFL. now watch him throw 2 pick sixes, eleven dirt balls, and get the hook for arbuckle. Edited September 15, 20186 yr by Mark F

September 15, 20186 yr comment_355846 It’s gonna be a real test for Hamilton especially now with Banks reportedly not playing.

September 15, 20186 yr Author comment_355851 Unless CAL shows up completely flat and disinterested difficult to imagine a scenario where they lose. Defense and RB Green will have to play best game of the year.

September 15, 20186 yr comment_355853 I'm tired of watching...the speed that everyone else has at receiver.

"toaster leavins" is what we're getting. horsecollar Tackling ok, if done by the hair .... not a penalty. talk about a dumb non rule. Take about one minute to fix that, rule wise. Edited September 15, 20186 yr by Mark F
September 15, 20186 yr comment_355861 Pretty unlikely that the Bombers can beat either of these teams.

That's a choice by a player to grow his hair halfway down his neck. No one forces them to grow their hair long. So just like an arm or leg, hair is part of the body & can be used legally to tackle. And it was.
September 15, 20186 yr comment_355865 Piss poor effort by #35 of the Ti Cats on that Beggelton reception where he took the ball to the 3 yard line. Powder puff contact & then whiffed the tackle. #benchhim

So just like an arm or leg, hair is part of the body & can be used legally to tackle. And it was. Any other pulling motion on a guy from behind is a penalty now. The pull is the issue, not grabbing a guy by the hair. That wasn't a tackle either. A tackle is a stick and a wrap, torso to torso. That was a grab and a pull. If they focused more on enforcing the rules on legal tackling and requiring form tackles using proper technique injuries would go way down.
