Rod Black

Who do people feel the best center is?

Not sure about Picard bur I remember Dan Gyetvai was always called Skinny Dan for playing at ~290 back in the day...

We may be on the wrong thread for this discussion but Fine Whine Dickinson did a knee jerk reaction to deeper problems than those coaches. These sweeping coaching changes won’t do ****. 
Next his big brain brother will want the touchdown horsey whacked for something like not celebrating enough. 

Hearing some very good things coming out of the Bombers corporate meeting. Lets just say the Bombers are financially set for a long time.

kinda cool

DAN CLARK WAS A SON OF A *****..

In case anyone needed more proof of what a class act Brady O. is, he came out to my son's U13 A3 hockey final today (he is neighbors with one of the boys on the team) to watch the game, give the kids a speech in the room at the end and hand out the player of the game award for us. The kids were absolutely pumped and I am sure are now Bombers fans for life.

Similar vibe in this household. She doesnt like our dutch oven. 

Man the football gawds can sure serve one up once in awhile...Down to the last seconds and with Castillo already missing one from about the same distance, I thought ...welllll that's all she wrote BUT I'm sure Sergio thought about that wind, which was sent from the heavens ,and thought ...'Hey this is meant to be' and kicked the rock right down the middle and sent our bench into a frenzy ...WOW ....I've seen a lot of CFL football in my time BUT that win has to be ranked right up there with one of the strangest and best ever...Meant to be for sure and I hope that's our mantra right up to Cup time in BC

It's never the right call to let a short FG bounce into the endzone. That's hindsight and a bizarre hill to die on. FG is short, you better be catching it in the air and ideally on the run. Hoping a football bounces the right way would be an idiotic coaching move.

One win away from the Grey Cup!

1. Mike Miller, for dialing up the special teams on montreals final punt with 14 seconds to play, and for coaching the team to on kicking the field goal from 49 yards out on the last play of the game, to win the game and secure first place for the fourth season in a row.
2. Jordan younger, because again they kept the opposing team to fewer points than us.
3. Mike O ‘Shea for allowing his subordinates to do their jobs - coach.
HH to Wade Miller helping to assemble a remarkable coaching staff to AGAIN host a West Final home game.
I'm not really sure where we would be without this coaching ensemble. Absolutely remarkable results. 

Blue wins first place with:
A 3 point lead over the second place team and advantage with winning the season series.
A 4 point lead over the third place team and advantage with winning the season series.
After losing the first four games, then a record of 2 - 6, and winning 9 of their final 10 games, they earn 1st.
And, the loss to Toronto 2 weeks ago, is now irrelevant. 
 
IMO, the Bombers might be the hottest team in the league. Each game this year has been meaningful. Not a bad way to host the Western Final. 

Serious question. Isn’t the tendency of trying to rip the ball out rampant among all teams? 
Additionally, the torpedoing and “block” to stop the ball carrier, seem to be the rule rather than the exception. 
When did these trends become the way to play defence? What is the advantage to playing these trends, reduces injuries? 

What is your point?
There’s a thousand ifs and buts every game that would change things. So what?

Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg - are the top 3 CFL teams - not necessarily in that order
Had they stayed with Vaj, BC might be in the conversation
Our D usually plays Vaj tough...so we'll see...

As the old saying goes. The good teams have all the luck. Look at the Tom Brady patriots or the Mahomes Chiefs. They always put themselves into a position to win the close games.

Toronto and Montreal are arguably the top two teams in the CFL.
 

Odds of one of them playing in the cup have to be 95%+
 
If they aren’t on the list of good teams who is?

Both Montreal and Toronto have very good teams and depth.

Yup, welcome to the CFL. In the NFL, the game would have been over long before shaking hands, taking off their headsets.

I like our chances against BC or Sask at home in the cold. They’ve proven they can win tough grinding games. 

I'm in the group of not very confident. Yes we've been winning, and yes we got jobbed in the Argo game, but I'm worried. I felt like we were playing a rather vanilla offensive game yesterday, and BTW is there anyone who doesn't know that we're throwing to 89 when we need a play?? Maybe we're saving some fancy plays for the playoffs, but we just gotta be better. And I agree that we gotta do something with the D line.

And he nailed it with a bad snap...

Despite all the divine intervention talk, Castillo’s kick was no cake walk. 
That weather was blowing everywhere at once.
