Eternal optimist

1. Medlock, 4/4 on FG and hit a massive 52 yarder that swung some momentum back to WPG. 2. Streveler - had more rushing yards than Harris, played hurt and was still a beast. 3. Grant - had some big returns, and kept CAL's special teams on their toes. HH - Defense for being an nightmare for Bo "guess I'll eat some crow" Mitchell

I think this just shows how arrogant they are, anyone in their right mind would've run QB sneak to get a fresh set of downs.

Montreal had a brutal challenge that failed too... just sayin'

In Medlock we trust

Man, penalties galore, offense spinning its' wheels, and a big play given up on special teams... Were we too confident coming into this game, somehow?

That is intentional grounding and a safety.

Whatever I don't have time or money to go to the Grey Cup this year anyways... thanks for saving me money again Bombers!

I miss Matt Nichols.

He saw it was Begelton, so he knew it wouldn't count as a sack lol.

RUN THE BALL.

Disagree, this suggests they knew how to to begin with.

There is a time and a place for them for sure, but I think going for them 100% of the time is just playing with fire.

No, my stance was that teams shouldn't go for two on the basis that they are riskier. His stance (I think?) was that teams should go for two, on the basis that in poor-weather games, a one-point conversions have lower success, and thus why not gamble for two. As a rebuttal, I would add that in poor-weather games, points are at an even higher premium, so throwing them away on a two-point conversion attempt is less advisable, unless absolutely necessary.

Alright, well then agree to disagree. No point in pointlessly bantering.

Absolutely, conventional game theory would dictate that provided your 2-point conversion success rate is above 50%, you should always go for 2. However, mathematical game theory relies upon some principals that simply don't apply in the game of football. For example, law of large numbers, which would state that provided you have sufficient iterations, you'd want to go for 2 all the time (because your expected value is greater than going for 1), doesn't really work, because even in a high-scoring game, you'll get 7, maybe 8 touchdowns? In order for the overall gain from going for two all the time to be realized, you'd need way more iterations than that. Game theory fails to account for in-game scenarios. At the end of the day, it really depends on the coach's appetite for risk - a coach with a larger appetite for risk (such as Dickenson) is more willing to go for 2, whereas O'Shea (risk-adverse) won't go for 2 unless he absolutely has to.

When Calgary played us at home W21, they lost by chasing points. They went 1/2 on 2 point conversion attempts. They ended up losing that game by a single point. They went for two when up 14-10 (who knows why?), and when they were up 26-19 (which made a bit more sense, it was successful and extended their lead to 9 points).

You don't chase points just for the sake of chasing points. Hope EDM wins this game, then Gable runs all over HAM... bit of payback for them for trading him to EDM in 2017 and totally screwing us over when we hosted EDM in the Western Semi-Final...probably won't happen, but hey, it's the CFL.

Devaris Daniels in pre-game interview for the Esks mentioning he's made the Grey Cup every year he's played in the league. This year may be a disappointment for him.

Man, it's insane that facebook's business model works... having users voluntarily give up their personal information, then tailor ads to them and sell it back to them.

I think she died.

If a Bo Levi chokes in an empty stadium, does anyone hear it croak?

Sure, but under the same argument, you could use the following argument: 1. The Price is Right is a very successful game show, it has a spinning wheel. 2. The CFL does not have a spinning wheel. 3. The CFL should have a spinning wheel in the championship game to be successful as a league.

Well Lions, thanks again for nothing... 0-8 against Western opponents this year.

The record for rushing yards in a single season was set by Mike Pringle of th Montreal Alouettes in 1988 (2,065 yards) The record by a Canadian running back was set by Jon Cornish of the Calgary Stampeders in 2013 (1,813 yards) Source: 2017 CFL record book, page 201 (available here: https://www.cfl.ca/2017-cfl-rule-book-facts-figures-records-guide/) CFL has changed since even fivish years ago - we are by far the most run-heavy offense in recent years, the league is much more pass-happy. To-date for 2019, we still only have 2,663 yards collectively as a team (Harris has 1,380 of those yards), both numbers which lead the league by a wide margin. MTL is 2nd in rushing (2,108 yards), Powell is the next back after Harris (1,057 yards) and he's played one more game than Harris due to the suspensions for Harris.

This just insults our intelligence. Preseason is a very necessary evil in football and other pro sports, but changing it's name doesn't do a darn thing, the content fielded will still be below par compared to regular season (as it should guys need to get a start somewhere and preseason is great for that). This is like changing the language in traffic law from red lights to "mandatory resting periods".
