So do we just assume 1 illegal kick out of bounds per game

PAT is good what what

No you.

He WAS the worst though.

The real question is what is the signal for Illegal Participation by a Designated International and has it ever actually been called.

Contract structure: 50K flat + $500 per sack and $1,000 per hit he takes lol

Yeah, I get that it's his job and all, but considering the team is aware of his struggles, you'd think they'd have playcalling that helps line it up for him a bit more. 4/10 on the year is still atrocious, but realistically the team isn't giving him much help in that respect. The days of Money Medlock are behind us now. As for trading for Whyte/Ward - I think it'd be a good idea short-term. However, this regime has consistently shown commitment to long-term success, I just can't see them airlifting someone in - and certainly not for a first-round draft pick. Even if that pick ends up being the last in the draft.

Wasn't flashy, but in fairness to McKnight he caught everything that was thrown to him (4/4). Wasn't really put in a position to make a big play either on most of the throws, from what I recall.

Oh man, IGF would be so loud if we could clinch the West against BC on the Oct 23. Welcome to the jungle.

That's odd... I was hoping we WOULD host the West Final... That's odd... I was hoping we WOULD host the West Final...

Best trade ever - we got rid of LaPo and Nichols massive contract in exchange for N O T H I N G Didn't even have to give up a 2-for-1 Winnipeg restaurant coupon.

This is the most LaPo game to ever LaPo a Lapo.

So with Monday being a holiday, do Redblacks players get paid 1.5x their normal wage? If that is the case, and the Bombers only earned 1x on Friday that is almost criminal

Okay I am no expert, but why would they have a former DB as a receiver coach?

Unfortunately every fan base (including my own - Blue and Gold) has its share of jerks. It is no different than any other demographic.. There will always be bad ones, not much you can do about it. I cheer for my team, but even in opposing stadiums I do so respectfully. There are more important things in life than football (or any sport, for that matter).

Delete This is the site I always use - he runs simulations based upon weighted (team record) percentages. However you can also change it to 50/50 (coin flip) chance for each team. He then summarizes all of his results, and provides a breakdown of the teams' seeding level at a high level based upon probability outcomes for each team respectively. http://www.sportsclubstats.com/football/Canada/CFL/Winnipeg.html TLDR; If we go 3-2 or better, we clinch the West without any help. 2 wins in any combination gives us a 96% chance to host the Western Final. Even if we go 0-5 the rest of the way, it is still possible for us to host the Western Final.

We only beat CAL by 2 by the grace of god for a procedure penalty at home. By no means are they world beaters, but they are definitely the best of the rest right now. Also, they've got the stability and coaching staff to make some noise late in the year.

Not so fun fact: Upon its release, Aladdin received criticism for its portrayal of characters in the film with arab ethnicity and their overexaggerated facial features. In other news, Mourtada still sucks.

Well if it ends the same way I will setup a GoFundMe for pitchforks and torches. Just add angry mob!

Imho kicker is 3rd most important position in CFL. Behind QB and blindside tackle. Its like in hockey.. A good kicker can steal you some games. A bad one you might be able to get by... But its hard to cover it up

I was actually referring to punting for a rouge vs. A field goal. I am unsure what his PAT % is, but if it is less fhan 50% yes we should go for two every time, mathematically speaking.

Food for thought. Mourtada is 4/10 (40%) this year. We are getting dangerously close to being mathematically better off punting for the rouge on terms of expected value. This assumes he can hit the end zone 100% of the time, which to be honest not sure if that is a safe assumption at this point. Ali Mourtada for mayor of Winnipeg. Someone that incompetent should be a high ranking government official!

We are due to lose a game on kicking. The thing that worries me alot is with the Grey Cup and playoffs being so late in the year, kicking will be even more important at that time.

HH to Rasheed Bailey - Dude really stepped up in Lawler's absence I felt.

Gotta play as a team.
