Eternal optimist

Ross's stat line with us was 1 game played with 1 attempted pass that was incomplete.... oh did I mention it was on a botched FG attempt? In a game we ended up losing by 3 points? Yeah... good riddance.

Ah yes, the Manitoba Ballet.

C'mon BC fall flat on your face.

I'm gonna call in as Throw Long Bannatyne in the post-game tomorrow then.

I feel like someone should do a stakeout at IGF and test this theory. Wouldn't be surprised if this isn't actually happening.

I will quash this theory now before you guys go all Donald Trump conspiracy theory on me... it was just a coincidence. The username is simply meant to be ironic.

Because our coach is an idiot.

It still astounds me that we ran for so many yards, yet had such an inept passing game, stuff like that is unheard of when the ground game is chugging along... only time that ever happens is in bad weather games usually.

Lobby the CFL to reduce game time from 60 minutes to 30?

Man your posts are terrible - we should put your backup in.

Obviously it was LaPolice's fault for drawing up a play that required Nichols to throw behind Washington to work.

Obligatory reference to Dave Ritchie's one-rookie-one-loss rule since it was Washington that made the gaffe.

Best part about that throw was Streveler knew he couldn't get alot of mustard on it, so he threw it to a spot where only Adams had a play on the ball. Worst case it would've been an incomplete pass.

Most recent report available for Winnipeg shows we had 4 pedestrian fatalities in 2016 (source: https://winnipeg.ca/publicworks/trafficControl/pdf/AnnualCollisionReport_2016.pdf. - page 7). Our estimated population for that year is about 727,500, by comparison, Calgary's is much more 1,239,220 (those are just estimates from Google). Reduced speed limits won't stop accidents from happening, but it has been shown to reduce the severity of injuries. As for drivers ignoring the signs / law - a law is only as good as it is enforced.

Kevin Glenn called the plays for the game on August 14, 2008 against the Hamilton Ti-cats which resulted in a win. (source: https://archives.winnipegfreepress.com/winnipeg-free-press/2008-08-30/page-65/).

While technically true, ties are really rare in the CFL. Argos have the most of any club to date with 26 ties since 1907. I would also argue its' even rarer for ties to occur in the current overtime format - they just don't happen that often. Besides, its kind of a moot point to say you're working against the point differential you lose the first game of a 3-game series...of course you are, otherwise you wouldn't have lost the first game.

Your point about point differential only really matters against CAL ... we play 3 against both SSK and EDM, and the season series takes precedent over point differential. For those keeping track, we already have the season series against BC which should help keep us out of the basement.

Oh I have no quarrel with the speed limits, what bothers me is their convoluted rules for enforcing them. What is the logic behind only having the zones in effect September - June? During summer, often there are even more kids playing on the play structures, seeing as how they are on summer break? If it were up to me, just a flat 30 KM/h school zone rate year-round, dawn till dusk.

In MB don't forget the cash grab on school zone speeds of 30 KM/H!.

This is an insult to chickens everywhere.

One game, a season does not make.

Well there's pretty much no hope of us catching Calgary in the standings, so I guess we want the Stamps to win? Looks like the Eskimos may also be regressing - a loss here means they will have dropped 3 of 4. With the lone win coming against the Als.

If there is a single Bombers' coach that is tonedeaf to the ire and vocal disapproval of fans - it is Mike O'Shea.
