Congratulations to BigBlueFantic on the win Rich will contact you for your prize. Would you all be interested in a second round even with no prize? If so, I will start again with five strikes since we are not halfway through the year.

Schoen back to work today....our full projected starting Offense all back and healthy can only have good results

Well if it's a Rider game he's prepping for...

Well then the NFL will just have to move up their draft!

OK, so have done a year-by-year check of the game scores from 1958 onward from the cfl.ca site (that’s as far back as they go) and if they are accurate, this is what I can tell you: 1958 - Ottawa was shut out against twice (and had a 3rd game where they only scored 1 point), BC came close (shut out once and scored 1 point in another game), and Toronto had two shutouts for, coming in consecutive games. 1959 - Weird year. Edmonton was shut out 12-0 by B.C. and then beat Saskatchewan 55-0 the next week. They also shut out Saskatchewan later that year, so if that is accurate then Farhan’s first tweet is incorrect (he himself has since acknowledged the error) and B.C. is not the first team to shut out the same opponent twice in a season (I cross referenced the league site with the Statscrew page that had the same info. Wikipedia did not have a team page for Edmonton or Saskatchewan for the 1959 season to verify it, and newspaper archives - the best resource, IMO - for that time are hard to find online without a lot of digging). Edmonton came close to getting a 3rd shutout, beating Winnipeg 16-1 (incidentally, the Bombers played again 2 days later and rebounded by putting up 61 points in a 61-8 thrashing of, you guessed it, Saskatchewan). Montreal was also shut out twice, once in the regular season and once in the playoffs. Like I said, weird year. 1960 - Edmonton had 1 shutout but were close 3 more times. They beat the lowly green Riders 19-1 and then blanked B.C. the following week 26-0, coming close to back-to-back clean sheets. Late in the year they gave up only 2 to Winnipeg and 2 more against Sask. again in consecutive games. The ‘Riders followed the first 19-1 loss mentioned above with a 27-0 loss to Winnipeg, so they almost had consecutive goose eggs. 1965 - Toronto is shut out twice, and the Bombers blank two opponents in the span of 3 games. 1966 - Ottawa, who had shut out Toronto earlier in the year, and Montreal, who had been shut out by Sask., play the lowest scoring game in CFL history, with the Alouettes winning 1-0. 1967 - Calgary blanks their opponents 3 times this year, Edmonton and Winnipeg each suffer a shut out loss twice. 1968 - Calgary earns 1 shut out in the regular season and another in the playoffs 1970 - Calgary becomes the last club before B.C. this season with multiple shut outs earned in a season, with 2. 1972 - For the first time since the CFL was established in 1958, there are no shut outs league-wide for the entire season. This will happen twice more this decade, in 1975 and 1978. 1980-81 - The CFL goes back-to-back seasons with no shutouts for any team for the first time. The non-shutout streak is broken the next year when Winnipeg wins in Montreal 36-0. That would be the only shutout in a 5 year span. In fact, there are only 5 shutouts league-wide in the whole decade, and the Bombers have 4 of them (‘82, ‘85, ‘86, and ‘88), with Edmonton dishing out the only other blank slate, also in 1988. The 1986 Bomber shutout is notable in that they beat Saskatchewan 56-0, the highest scoring shutout in league history. 1990-99 - Only 3 shutouts all decade, the most notable of which is Sacramento beating Baltimore 18-0 in the only game where a U.S. based team is involved in either end of a shutout. Shutouts dried out even more in the 2000’s and beyond. Nothing too noteworthy before BC’s pair this season.

Hey, I think there is enough interest to do a second round. Everyone is back-eligible. Rich has informed me we do have another $50 Bomber Gift card as a prize. You know the rules, put picks below.

Oh great. At this rate there’s time for me to lose 3 times this year.

so.....BO is second in the league in yards after the catch...believe it or not....so why not incorporate that early and often if the Lions try and do that pin ears back and rush with zero regard for anything off the edge in the flats or short dump passes?...something we did nothing of last match

There’s no excuse to lose anyways. We’re almost completely healthy, coming off a bye, at home. If we don’t come out flying and win this football game I think we can agree it’s going to be a tough road to the Grey Cup.

Mea culpa... I should have known.

Yes, please. And, congrats to BigBlueFantic!!

You can not start the season before the NFL draft since they need to have CFL draft after it.

Spring cold is way worse and harder on the body than fall cold.

It was reported by 3DN that way but, unless he's lying to save face, Cui shot that down recently while also admitting they are still paying guys like Sunderland and Elizondo.

So much so he threw for 5 TDs and 450 yards the last time the Bombers played him. Was same thing leading into the game last year be careful what you wish for,

we are so up in Evans head for the most part he will prob piss his lions tighty whities

Yup you need half the teams on one and half the next

I don't care for the mandatory bye-week for all teams. The CFL can't afford to lose momentum and taking a week off in the middle of the season would do just that.

Thanks everyone! Lots of fun and makes up for getting annihilated in pick ems lol

and at least from being a QB....He will know a bit more of what needs to be available to help a QB out a bit...like they showed on TSN...a lot of times based on what they had their receivers doing poor Corney was basically just hung out to dry, and mix in his wavering confidence now, and probably utter feeling of helplessness...well we see what happened...he trying to force stuff...make dumb decisions basically to just try and accomplish something....anything...I feel bad for the poor guy.. as he is just out there...alone...trying to figure it out himself....we should do them a solid and flip them Prokop and Bennet for him and one their dline guys, and use him as our Short Yardage guy...I bet he would thrive here in that role

It really can't hurt. McAdoo's play calling has been abysmal.

re-arranging the chairs on the titanic...

Will make no difference unless McAdon’t is being promoted to head coach and then it just gets worse that it is now. Not sure who can take over but until CJ is gone they are a lost cause. That BoD should be ashamed of what they have done and there should be fall out at that level as well.

I'm so irrationally angry at this post. Did you not see the ******* winky face?

he was in an NFL camp last yr...undrafted invite...Stove was a rookie guy who literally was never in a camp...panned out well...half the guys who come up here and excel are straight outta school...with minimal pro camp experience....doesn't mean much If he has half a brain and can grasp the concepts...has physicals skill no reason why he can't slide in on rotation if he in game shape

Who's paying for that?? All of this stuff is absolutely ridiculous.

Dude looks like the type that can be a 3 tec and weak-side end, kind of what Jeffcoat and Sayles do/did to some extent.

Best to put him down. Can't having him wandering the pastures, boring the cows. Lapo will learn to be more concise. A refreshing new voice.

Wonder if he is/was a neg list guy that we were tracking as he exhausted any NFL opportunity...seems built for the CFL game

Not a fan of only having the Grey Cup in Toronto or Vancouver. The game needs to move around.

The best thing about Lapo is he is probably going to be watching just as much film every week prepping for his calls as he did as a coach.

Definitely enjoyed LaPo in the booth. Nice to hear some insights on what teams are doing vs. whatever random crap comes from Suitor. Man FAJ and Maier looked bad.

after the fact yup....hahaha.....

This guy is such a slimeball. Environment Minister Kevin Klein's claim to be Métis denounced by brother, Manitoba Métis Federation Premier Heather Stefanson said Klein is 1 of 2 Indigenous members of her caucus Posted: Jul 31, 2023 6:00 AM CDT | Last Updated: 3 hours ago https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/kevin-klein-indigenous-manitoba-government-1.6876688 "This idea that it's a personal journey and no one can question it … it's BS, right? We shouldn't give it credit. And so if he's on a personal journey for six to eight years, trying to find an Indigenous identity somewhere, then personally, I think he should shut up about it until he figures it out," Teillet said.

I would listen to Lapo over Suits any game. Dicky threatened changes would come...well that didn't work I guess he will make changes Funny that Faj is a top QB in the East...I mean Kelly is running away with the top for now, but who would thought that

Lapo was very good tonight. He will get better. Definitely his niche.

Jeffcoat is snake bitten for sure, hopefully he remains healthy. He has been outstanding since his return.

No one wants to win…

To start training camp yeah. To play games and start training camp in April, nah. Nothing in amateur football outside starts until the week before May Long.

that was roughing the passer, on 41.....ball gone... stop pushing. refs have let too much go lately. good to see.

Size grade is pointless and should only be referred to in analysis as player being "undersized" compared to league average If you can do the job ..u can do the job...many undersized guys excel The one instance where that could/should be a grade consideration is for short armed on-line guys ..as that trait makes a huge difference.. I

He actually seems comfortable doing it

Suitor needs to be put out to pasture for sure. Lapo is a good football mind so on TV he can add a lot. Just keep him away from play calling.

Setting the plate for next yr. Lapo in the booth and Bo to the panel. Both choices are better than any of the existing options.

This. It's going to be obvious very early...whether or not Bombers have any chance of winning.

Exceptional pick up. Much better than old man lemon imo. Big de and exceptionally good pass rusher. Under rated hands, great size, exceptional quick twitch guy. You can’t teach that type of explosiveness.
