Pickle Rick

VAJ is so hot and cold ,  I'm not sure why Farhan would X that?    
I had to chuckle at Suitor suggesting that Jones/Bane JR were elite,  that the OC for Saskatchewan is a young up and coming coordinator,  how VAJ is in the talks for MOP,  his love for Save-On Foods.... he was in fine form tonight!  
 

Castillo
Castillo is #5 at +4.5 points to expected.
Liegghio is #9 at -0.9 points to expected. Three missed converts and his average attempt for 29 yards is dragging him down. 

Castillo should have been Grey Cup MVP in 2021. 

You may have noticed that the site has been somewhat slow today.  Trying to diagnose what is causing it, but probably won't be able to dig in deeply until later today.
May notice some intermittent up and down time while I try to figure out what is causing it

The Argos last bye week is next week - so enjoy that

😉

We won by by over 30 points over the second best team in the CFL and have been to three straight championships. Forgive me for trusting those that have put us in position to get to those championships over people with Doritios stains on their finger tips.

I feel it's possible that we broke bc tonight and they will lose more than they win
Evans is mentally unstable. VAJ is hurt. Davis sucks. 
BC hoping Rourke says **** this and comes home 

But but but but...game day roster management!!😭😭😭

Did we cover the spread?

Is Betts playing?   Haven't heard his name all night !

Whelp....i don't know how MOS does it...horrible lineup. MOS is just a lucky coach!! 😆😆 seriously,is there a better coach that gets his guys ready for big games???

Our guys came into the game thinking and prepared for typical non-physical pansy BC Lions football and got smacked in the mouth for it. Does anyone think we are making that mistake again? Expect us to dominate both sides of the LOS this week. BC is about to discover how nasty we can be. Bet on that.

so.....BO is second in the league in yards after the catch...believe it or not....so why not incorporate that early and often if the Lions try and do that pin ears back and rush with zero regard for anything off the edge in the flats or short dump passes?...something we did nothing of last match

Definitely enjoyed LaPo in the booth. Nice to hear some insights on what teams are doing vs. whatever random crap comes from Suitor. 
Man FAJ and Maier looked bad.

Broke Evans and finished off BLM.... that was the end of him, that playoff game. 

I really hope for the sake of Winnipeg football fans everywhere that one day we see Strevs back in Blue and Gold for one or maybe two more seasons.  Even if he is just the "change of pace" guy again.  Man do I miss those days when he was here.  2019 will forever be a magical season much like 1984 and 1990 for me.

In ZC8's entire Bombers tenure, I have never seen him under duress like he has been this year. I don't know enough to know if it's on the OL or something else, but it is a MAJOR problem. The first half of that LOLK's game was infuriating and so obvious that even Suitor picked up on it.... so there is definitely a problem. 

They were also anticipating snap count....and at times to me looked early...U saw T.O switch up their cadences...and basically nullified them and caused some penalty issues
 
I'm not overly concerned with our aging guys on the O-line...a good tech sound O-lineman who hasn't had injury issues in career (Bryant never has...Yosh few if any) can play a long time...Biggie is the guy we need to be trying to groom a new guy....he has been fine so far...not a dominating difference maker, but I will let season pan out and see what we look like in Oct....and what he did....he has been playing more out of the box this yr, or at times a pure rusher....so hard to tell where he is at in regards to losing a step....tho when we had turn overs and the defense flipped direction to run blocks...he didnt look like he lost a step in my opinion...still fast for a bigger body

In zone you usually leave the backside end unblocked by the OL so it’s generally 5 on 3 or even 5 on 2 at the line.  That’s where that split block going counter the line or a receiver cracking on the end on the backside comes in if it’s not a read play. It’s doubles across the line driving with the flow of the play to catch other defenders downfield.
It’s why DC’s like Hall love the bear front so much because it forces big on big blocks vs the run but pulls linebackers up into the line which is risky vs the pass and also forces your SAM and DBs to make tackles.
In what I’m scheming up for my guys we love seeing the bear front because if everyone play side even just turns their block off the gap off guard or off tackle we probably have 8 yards for our back before he gets touched.  Much harder to block through that flow to the ball if the backers are off the line.

I'll take 3-1 right now with all the injuries.  At this rate we only need to win 4 more games this year to at least get the cross over lol...

Hate seeing the Argos win but love seeing the Lions lose lol

I was travelling last week and missed all games. I need a fix so bad I am watching this crap. 

Man thanks for jinxing it.
Football gods please accept our apologies. Amen.

Knocks on wood….
