Eternal optimist

The 97th Grey Cup was won, By the Riders, up by two - things looked done... But wait - what's this? A second chance after a miss? 13th man sure cost 'em that one...

Deer in the headlights.

Ottawa unraveling...

Montreal looks like a team that can grind teams down with their running game and stifling D... Durant doesn't have to put up big numbers... just has to string first downs together and help them hang around. Also a bit of a weird one as Calgary didn't have much of a running game after Messam hulked out.

Way to go MTL - lets go Redblacks...

Their away jerseys are red-and-white... Canada's version of "Where's Waldo?"

I don't think they will, but I would love to see Calgary fall from grace this year. They have way too many players that are obnoxiously smug.

Shout out to everyone that picked him for their lock of the week.

For rough play ... shouldn't he be ejected from EVERY GAME then? Runs like a mack truck.

Actually the Riders lost to Montreal in Week 1, there are 1-2 right now. Sorry to be so picky, but I can't stand when people pretend the Riders are better than they actually are... even when it is by mistake.

This. So much this... I don't know about anyone else, but I've seen a lot of disgruntled or aggressive drivers muscle their way past volunteers or into places they shouldn't be going. It is only a matter of time before either a volunteer or pedestrian gets hurt, or there is a fender bender in the parking lot itself, which would really slow things down. I think one of the best things I saw was a volunteer dealt with an aggressive driver by going over to his vehicle and putting her butt right on his front bumper - he couldn't move, and she was still able to wave everyone else (the people actually waiting in line) through still. If there is one thing that ticks me off with the volunteers, is they tend to just let aggressive drivers get their way, which kind of fuels the problem... can't really blame them though I mean they're not getting paid (I think they might get free tickets to the game?) and it sounds like a pretty terrible gig.

Not to mention doing stuff like that is a good way to get fired as a coach. Its no different than how the majority of teams go for 1 point on the convert... sure if you get the 2 you look like a genius, but in most scenarios the risk just isn't worth the reward.

Another aside - that play call was brilliant, we had LeFevour do QB sneaks in similar situations 3 or 4 before that...and with it being 2nd and short if it didn't work or the pass fell incomplete, we could just go get it on 3rd down. So I guess hats off to you on that one Lapo.

As a devout Bomber fan, I fully endorse opposing teams taking unnecessary unnecessary roughness / objectionable conduct / roughing the passer penalties. In fact, a good portion of my section at the game gave Marcus Ball a rousing round of applause upon returning to the bench.

Both of those calls remind me of this:

HH to the entire defense for bailing out our idiot coaching staff for calling a deep ball passing play on 2nd and 5 with less than a minute to go and the lead.

Only Canada, Will pass interference cause Game flow like haikus

Moe Leggett.

But he's an O'Shea's prodigy that runs through walls for the team! In fact, on every return he tries to run through several defenders to no avail.

In all seriousness though, how could they get rid of the cannon... that's like, our THING. Many years our offensive production has been so woeful that Bomber touchdowns are worthy of the use of heavy artillery.

I heard it was shot.

Well if it is any consolation, I've noticed a lot of the other CFL teams use kickers we brought up for preseason/tryouts. Ottawa - Brett Maher Toronto - Lirim Hajrullahu Hamilton - Sergio Castillo

Hamilton not going away...

It's a conspiracy!

Well the new Mosaic stadium was nice while it lasted.
