Sure - but I cannot see this organization taking a chance on him.

Who comes out though?

Not surprising, they are pretty deep at DB.

When a team like Montreal leads at the half, is that still considered "hanging around"?

I hope Ottawa ekes out a win here. I want them waltzing into Winnipeg next week fat and happy before we punch them in the mouth.

How often do you end up with a 9-5 score. Everything about this game is weird.

I don't know if that's your intention - but I read every single one of your posts in Sheldon's voice. Every. single. one. ...sometimes it is fantastic.

Wow is that now five turnovers now in total? These are some bad football teams.

I hope our conditional draft pick for Bowman is based on the number of fumbles he has.

Anyone else tuning in?

I would actually prefer TSN mute it on TV - makes opposing quarterbacks like Trevor Harris or Johnny Manziel think it won't be that loud... which just means they're in some form unprepared from that perspective.

It's final resting place should be outside IGF hah.

HH to all the cowbells, drunkards and generally rambunctious citizens of Winnipeg that caused absolute mayhem for Hamilton during their last gasp drive.

Always glad to welcome another fan, let us know if you any questions about the slight rules differences etc. Also, if you want to know a few Bomber legends to look up for some light reading: Ken Ploen Milt Stegall Doug Brown Charles Roberts As an extra aside - any American friends curious about the Bombers would likely know the NFL names Jon Ryan and Chris Matthews (both played for the Seattle Seahawks, not sure where they are now) got their start here.

Fitting end to the game based on Riley's decisions down the stretch.

I think their internal office is crumbling more than they let on.

Love games where a rouge matters.

I can't remember recently seeing Mike Riley play this impatiently. He forces deep throws at the best of times, but some of these are ridiculous.

Looks like its just you and me bud, been a good back and forth affair though. Like arguing with my wife.

Man, that ends up being a huge holding call.

Meh - I've always been okay with rooting for teams provided it helps the Bombers in the standings - as long as it isn't the 'Riders. In case you haven't caught on yet, they think they're the greatest thing ever and consider themselves "Canada's Team" - they are the CFL equivalent of the insufferable Cowboys fans in the NFL. If you want a primer on their best play ever in a Grey Cup (our SuperBowl) I've linked it below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77L3gNDCUnw Cheers and welcome to the CFL.

Technically true - but they also surrendered exactly 20 points in two games... so that stat is a little misleading. Also, they managed to lose one of those two games.

Lol Calgary losing the time of possession battle at the half by scoring too quickly.

Their +/- turnover ratio is also +14.

They're both good - but Reilly plays a riskier game, which has cost them before. Mitchell has a slightly better QB efficiency as it stands right now... but the best part? Manziel's efficiency rating is the worst in the league right now (-13.8).
