Everyone in here talking about old-time football. WTF was going on in 1975. From the game notes for tomrorow Winning With 3 Completions: The Blue Bombers won last week despite having just 3 completed passes on 8 attempts for 54 yards and a 9.4 Rating. The last club to win a game with 3 or fewer completed passes came on September 24, 1975. That day Winnipeg was again involved when they were just 2-of-11 for 62 yards and yet defeated Hamilton 34-32. With Chuck Ealey at QB, Winnipeg rushed 54 times for 349 yards that day. Of Note: Hamilton went 3-for-12 in a 1974 game and won 11-10 over Ottawa. 8 Pass Attempts: Last week Winnipeg attempted just 8 passes for 54 yards and a 9.4 Rating. The last time that ANY CFL club tried as few as 8 pass attempts was by Winnipeg themselves on August 26, 1975 vs Calgary. That day behind QB Chuck Ealey they tried 8 passes completing 4 for 99 yards in a 25-22 win. That day they ran the ball 39 times for 237 yards.

RIP Marble Slab at Kildonan Crossing (I think I may have known for a year that it was screwed because the freezers were empty and I guess the final nail in the coffin came when Freddie's opened)

2002-Khari throwing to Milt, Bruce and Gordon with a Roberts/Sellers RB tandem. So much fun to watch.

100 percent...totally forgot about him....and yeah u didnt cut it...you were outta town in short order

That would be perfect.

Ray Jauch was cut throat. He never hesitated to cut a veteran if he felt he could bring in somebody better. I remember when he traded popular Winnipeggers Gord Patterson & Leo Ezerins to Hamilton in 1980. The fans were not happy.

Richie absolutely kept too many vets long term. But the talent that those teams had on offense...we can only dream about that now.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time Nobel prize territory.

over 150 yards last 2 games...for a guy who cant run sure gets decent yards since he took off brace and is getting his full health back....imagine eh? dont have to....you just need a playbook with roll outs...sprints,,,multiple motions...varied qb design runs...not just draws and runs up the gut....that is in it in general........and then use those plays accordingly....aka...have a complete full pro-ready playbook. hate to nitpick you but what are u yammering on about...he's ran for 72...and 82 yards last 2 starts....combined 152... he's ran for 260...ZC for 105.....also...remove all the qb sneaks from Strev's runs as well then and then do your recompute....we get it....you dont like him....move on...but if you wanna slag a guy...get your stats and metric right and also factor in situational plays

That what puts guys like Grant...Riley...Ritchie and Murphy apart....put best out there regardless of passport or position...just made it work....and a guy like Murphy would turf your ass day game too if you did stupid stuff....or just plain sucked Every one those coaches....you earned the spot, but also had to maintain it.....Ritchie in his later yrs had a fondness for some his vets, but at the least some them still could play....

That one run was 36 yards. His other 10 runs that game combined was 36 yards. he can’t run anymore. Zach actually has the better rushing average this year. By double almost.

Bit of an update. The Elks say Thompson died today due to complications from surgery. No additional details were released.

Yeah, forgot about Thornton. A CFL All Star in his prime as well. But he never fit in so Grant dispatched him to Toronto. Made sure Trick couldn't hurt the Bombers on the field. . I'm sure more than you believe.

Person apparently been battling an injury the last few weeks. Guy probably hasn’t played this many games in a while Korn off = good now does Osh have a sense of humour and puts Cobb on for Korn. Youd love to see it. Hopefully. Just for the lol really. Cuz makes no difference. It’s still crazy to me they’d keep a sp teams demon who gets no actual d reps on over person who does get reps. That’s Ayers there. Must be banged up tho.

Yeah was here to post that. I remember him being interviewed on tsn shortly after buying the team last year I think and the pretty consistent thought was dude looked way older than he was. Was he sick? Must have been. RIP.

Woods on = Good Person off = Bad

Jesus... Only 65. Brutal.

Artopoeus. Person and Kornelson moved to the practice roster. Woods move to the active roster.

Ron had a better haircut
