    This gem from Riderfans: Winnipeg is strange in that other teams often play very poorly against them  

  • "If that is a tribute to indigenous peoples. It’s a fail. I’m sure some people appreciate it. I’m sure they could have covered the logo in x’s or o’s and claim it honours indigenous peoples as well

  • Bombers have given up 2 passing TDs and have not given up one since week 3

I was wondering this. I thought they had to kick off to us if we started with a kick off. Didn’t know we had a choice. 

yeah we deferred our pick to the 2nd half then decided to kick off. you virtually never see that. weve done it a few times this year, and i freaking hate it.

Each team gets a choice for a half.

From initial coin toss the team that wins it can choose in first half or defer to second half.

Choice is direction or ball.  Teams usually choose the wind in the long quarters, 2nd and 4th, which was likely our choice tonight when it was ours, not sure 1st half or 2nd.  Guessing Edmonton took the ball in the 2nd half to try to get on the board.

See it a lot in Canadian football.  Teams usually choose the wind for the 4th quarter if there is any.

not in the cfl. maybe in HS. its basically a turn over for wind at a different time its a terrible decision. 

that was a great catch by bailey

Have to ask Steve Daniel but I'd guess that 2/3 times the team with the choice takes an end to get the advantage in the long quarter, 2nd or 4th.  So yeah you see quite a few games with one team receiving both kickoffs in the 1/3 where one team doesn't take an end.
