  1. Winnipeg's motto? "If opponents can not score, We will for sure win"
  2. Boys are in tough, any given Sunday though. Having Demski back helps. Go Bombers!
  3. This is more indicative of the faults and pitfalls of using average as a metric as opposed to Rider ineptitude.
  4. Alright this bothered me. Just how many people can say they won a Grey Cup with Saskatchewan? I looked it up... and the Riders' have won the Grey Cup 4 times... Unofficial roster player totals and a breakdown by year is provided below: 1966 - 37 players (2) 1989 - 53 players (3) 2007 - 77 players (4) 2013 - 71 players (5) Total: 238, less instances of same player with multiple wins (7) = 231 people Only 231 people! To put that in perspective 553 people have reached Earth's orbit (5) Sources (1) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-1966 (2) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-1989 (3) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-2007 (4) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-2013 (5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_travelers_by_nationality#cite_note-1
  5. Cal at Wpg Who would have thought that Leggio verse Paredes Would be exciting?
  6. Lol I did, dude had a massive fumble in the CAL game lol
  7. Lets go with Kyran Moore. Not because I think he'll score, but because I picked Huff last week and it worked out well for him lol
  8. Well this aged spectacularly. My boy Huff had himself a game ... 6/7 on 92 yards, no TDs and a massive lost fumble. Huzzah!
  9. Also, for anyone else wondering... within the 3-minute warning. (Before the end of 1st half, or in final 3 minutes) a time count violation results in (1) If it is 1st or 2nd down, it results in either a loss of down, or a 10 yard penalty with the down repeated or (2) If it is 3rd down, a loss of 10 yards. The refs weren't trying to job us.
  10. HH to Rose for the Stamps for his 2 boneheaded Roughing The Passer plays 😂😂😂 Seriously though? O'Shea for trusting his kicker and putting Leggio out immediately after his PAT miss to restore some confidence in him at the next opportunity. Went a long way in building his confidence for the other kicks I felt.
  11. Not trying to make him a pariah, just sayin' those were his numbers. I agree though that Collaros had a rough game. Cant speak for TV, but Irving made it sound like on a few occassions they were catchable.
  12. He caught 4 of 8 passes thrown his way. He also had a 5 yard penalty (Offsides) which turned what would have been a manageable 2nd and 6 into a 1st and 15.
  13. Does Harris still have a bad back from lugging that Grey Cup and hardware around for 2ish years?
  14. Would certainly be an upgrade... but based on how he left town, I could not see him wanting to play here again.
  15. Also, even if Buck Pierce as OC abandons the run game, Harris is a way better release valve than Brady.
  16. @Jpan85 Once I inevitably fall off a cliff at this game, can I still play just for fun? Or does that muddy the waters for you? Wanna see if I can get a strike 14 weeks straight for a personal best.
  17. I have decided to use my superhero power of completely whiffing on the Lock of the Week for good. Josh Huff
  18. Ott and Ssk Ola Ottawa You can't win in this league with A LaPo offense
  19. Wpg at Tor Philosophical Question, is it still a loss If Blue don't show up?
  20. I don't know why they did it - I'm not Arbuckle, nor do I represent the RedBlacks organization. There may be very legitimate, non-football reasons for making that decision. It could also be they were starstruck by Nichols' record before his injury, and thought the rebound would be much more drastic. People make mistakes, it happens.
  21. They simply hitched the wagon to the wrong horse. Happens in sports all the time.
  22. Crapigna's name checks out. HH to Medlock. He didnt show up for the game, but neither did the rest of the team. Boy did we miss him today
  23. In b4 they make the miraculous comeback and our **** kicker misses the extea point lmfao
  24. There is still lots of time, but man, they gotta do somethin'.
  25. When do we put in McGuire to shake things up.
