That look the Elks have tonight is just ugly.

If this keeps up we'll have given up something like 185 points in 14 games.

Yeah, I think we all breathed a sigh of relief when the ruling on the field was upheld. Kinda like this...

There was a little push & I thought the incomplete pass would be overturned.

We kicked the **** out of Fajardo. That's the main storyline of this series. Besides the Bombers sweeping the series. That receiver for the Riders Kian Schaffer-Baker was outstanding & he's a rook. Forget Jorden, Evans, Daniels, Ellingson, Burnham, Rodgers, Walker.... Kenny Lawler is the best receiver in the CFL.

Did you know that the Bombers wanted to sign Jim Van Pelt & bring him back for the 1962 season? He was a VIP guest of the Bombers for the 1961 Grey Cup & the team wined & dined him. He left the Bombers after the 1959 season as he was drafted & spent 2 years in the US Air Force. Van Pelt decided that he wanted to remain retired. He lived in Chicago & got involved in private business there.

Moon could run & he was deadly accurate. He played as well in the CFL as he did in the NFL. Immensely talented But in their primes, I'd still take Flutie.

So, I had picked William Stanbeck for this week but I didn't know the Als have the buy so I'd like to change my pick to Andrew Harris.

Defensive Linemen & Linebackers were too tired to tackle him.

BLM took a pay cut with the pandemic. I'm not sure Reilly did. I never heard that he did anyway but he might have. I know he bitched about not being paid when the CFL season was cancelled. He drove DC's nuts. He could scramble under pressure & improvise. Probably the best CFL QB that could ever do that.

No, Flutie just played 8 "unimportant & forgettable" CFL seasons. Here are all of his CFL stats. He attempted 4854 passes & completed 2,975 for 41,355 yards. He threw 270 TD passes & had 155 interceptions with a QB Rating of 82.6. He had 2 seasons where he threw for over 6,000 yards & 4 seasons of over 5,000 yards. He had 3 seasons where he threw 44, 47 & 48 TD passes as well as 2 seasons with 32 & 38 TD passes. He rushed the ball 704 times for 8,816 yards & scored 88 touchdowns with an average gain of 6.6 yards. Had he stayed in the CFL & not returned to the NFL, he probaly would have become the CFL's All Time leading passer at the time. As far as CFL awards go, he was the CFL's MOP in 1991, 92, 93, 94, 96 & 97. He was the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Player in 1992, 96 & 97. He was a CFL West Division All Star in 1991, 92, 93, 94 & a CFL East Division All Star in 1996 & 97. He was All CFL in 1991, 92, 93, 94, 96 & 97. He was named a CFLPA All Star in 1997. You're young so I'll cut you some slack but our league had some some great players before 2010.

What shitty tackling by the Argos.

No kidding. Then there was Warren Moon.

I saw him grab his left foot area. Probably a high ankle sprain. He hasn't left the bench so I don't believe the medical staff think there is a break.

Looks like Dane Evans suffered some kind of foot or ankle injury vs the Argos. He's out & Watford is in. Evans looks to be in a lot of pain on the sidelines.

The problem for Mike Kerrigan that day was Less Browne played the other cornerback position.

Reilly is the best long ball passer I've ever seen play in the CFL but he had some GREAT receivers in Edmonton for him to do that like Zylstra, Walker & Ellingson. He doesn't have the same level of receivers in BC although they're good. Mitchell spreads the ball around to his receivers. That's his style. He used to be an extremely accurate passer. He doesn't throw the long ball as well as Reilly but he can push it deep & he does. He too, benefitted from (perhaps) the best receiving corps in the CFL, as well. I really can't say which qb I'd take in their primes as they both were very good.

Anyone old enough to remember the brilliant idea the CBC had to mic up the penalty box on HNIC back in the mid 70's & an upset Bobby Clarke swore a blue streak on live TV knowing he was on camera? Apparently there were thousands of complaints across Canada after that happened. They only mic'd the penalty box that one time & never again. Sorry but I know what I'll be watching & it won't be tennis.

Gonna stay with William Stanback.

Ambles is being criticized by Calgary fans for being inconsistent & dropping too many passes. Hergay Mayala as well.

Mike Edem showed a lot of class yelling, "Bullshit call" into the camera. Deal with it, idiot.

Just because the other guys failed doesn't mean Jake Maier will. Printers was a headcase from the very first time he put on a CFL helmet & it eventually cost him his career. From what I've seen Maier is pretty well grounded.

I think three years ago Mitchell was at the height of his career. He was ranked 1 or 2 with Mike Reilly & then the injuries started. During his career, he's always had a great OL in front of him giving him lots of time to throw. Mitchell's always had great receivers catching for him so he did extremely well. Any good qb would have thrived in that environment surrounded by good to great running backs, strong OL, the best receiving corps in the CFL & the coaching of Dave Dickenson & Ryan Dinwiddie. Well, this is not 2016, 2017 or 18. It's 2021. Things have dramatically changed for Mitchell. The running backs he has now seem okay but neither Kadeem Carey or Ante Milanovic-Litre are flashy. They don' t look like a threat to rip off may 20-30 yards or better runs. They certainly aren't the second coming of Jon Cornish. His OL is a patchwork of backups as well as replacements & the receivers other than Kamar Jorden are all young guys trying to find themselves as players & seem to be playing tentative. At one time Mitchell could have put the offense on his shoulders & won. But not with this team. Not with the players he has around him. Putting him in doesn't give the Stamps a better chance to win than playing Jake Maier.

Hey Cody... On Saturday, the Bomber Defense is going to take you to SACK CITY!

Yeah, it was Maier's fault they lost. Alrighty then. Don't know what game you watched. I had a good laugh over what you said. Mitchell couldn't run before his broken tibia so not even a month later he should be spry as an Elk if he plays Saturday, right? I mean, he has such a good OL blocking for him he shouldn't get touched, will he? He was also having issues throwing the ball coming off his shoulder surgery of 2 years ago. But hey, still play the beat up all time great just because... over the backup who is outplaying him. They'll play Bo alright. Not because they should but because of his ridiculously high salary of over $700,000 a year.
