    Sanchez was a dirty player and some of us with longer memories recall his cheap shots against various Bombers including Milt.

  • That's why the CFL should be 1 division instead of East/West. Eskimos miss the playoffs @ 9-9. Hammy gets a home playoff game at 8-10. Single division - Stamps and Riders get a bye.

    Nelson looks intriguing as a Returner/WR. Nice catch by Simonise, excited to see what the future hold for him. Kudos to Lankford on his job kicking. I've lambasted the kid enough, felt I needed to giv

Say what u want but Lankford is in the cfl history books now 

Only player to score a TD and kick a FG in the same season

Meh. In the 1958 Grey Cup Jim Van Pelt, the Bomber QB, set a scoring record by rushing for a TD, catching a pass from Leo Lewis on a trick play for another one, kicking 4 converts and 2 field goals.

The Bombers look like they've gone to sleep. Edmonton is not playing that great but we're just going thru the motions it seems. 

Umm I think it's called conservative play and save the big scheming for the playoff game.  In essence, just a preseason type game here.

When teams had 32 man rosters they had no room for specialists. If you kicked then you played another position. Most kickers were also punters. There were no return specialists or long snappers. You started somewhere else & did the long snapping. Matter of fact, most Centers could long snap. Bob Swift could long snap. Paul Desjardins before him could long snap. Most younger fans don't seem to realize the CFL existed prior to 1980.

Fogg is having a TERRIBLE game.

Better now than next week, I guess.

Like I said, Hall has the guys playing soft zone today by design (something I understand and one sour poster doesn't).  Plan has been for us to be vanilla on both sides of the ball today because we got the big game next week.

 

Edmonton is going for all the marbles because Maas is paranoid about his job security.

I fail to see how getting your team humiliated in the last game of the season, tiring out your defence and not giving even a few reps to your starting QB is smart preparation for the playoffs.

I was a little surprised Bighill even suited up today, but he is now out too.

This kind of prep has been done by playoff teams for years.

I understand that, but Fogg is still having a very bad game.

"Where has this Edmonton Eskimo team been......" -Rod Black

Ummmmm they are playing starters against scrubs.....

Rod Black is one of the biggest idiots in all of professional sports, which pains me since he's a Winnipegger.
