I am a CFL fan and post things that I think other fans would be interested in.
Honestly don't think it's a garbage post, but  say what you will, all good from my end.
Go Bombers on Sunday.

I am cheering for Winnipeg on Sunday!
Maybe a closet Bomber fan...time will tell.
 

I agree, I think everyone was given a chance to be a part of the forum and were treated like they all had been long time members here... even the few comments that could have been construed as negative, those in reference to the TEP forum in general, were not mean spirited, more a honest opinion of how that member felt about the differences between here and there... 
I felt it warranted a thread of it's own to say that it hadn't gone un-noticed and the hospitality exhibited was more than appreciated... I can't speak for the rest of the TEP members, but, I have no plans on ditching MBB as I really enjoy being a member here... the membership has proven to be 'men of their word' as you can take almost any legit stand that you like as long as you have narrative to support your position, which is cool... people shouldn't have a problem with being held accountable for what they say...
so, thanks again and I'll be seeing you regularly, lol...

It was interesting to see Collaros looking for a receiver, nothing there, and then clearly turning looking for another one, and throwing for a completion.
ie. He's good at staying calm and looking around for an open receiver.
 

Kyrie Wilson is the last Bomber to wear 19... Kyle Knox is the last Bomber to have worn 50...
now for a fun fact... there has actually been one player that has worn both, 19 and 50, while a Bomber... Chris Cvetkovic

yeah, I think it would be safe to say that the town folk felt like he had it coming... lol...  generally though, justice is about how much justice you can afford in these small towns... luckily I live in a pretty well established community where we have very little crime to speak of... actually my family has lived in this county longer than any other family , since 1863... but you tend to know everybody and everybody knows your business as well... 90% of the time my truck will be sitting in the driveway with the keys in it and whether I'm home or not the front door is usually unlocked, lol...
but there is a lot of history in Missouri and a ton of cool, and werid, stories about the communities and people...
 

I'm telling you, over time you see that Lapo would do it to any QB in his system... look at Nichols numbers since coming to Winnipeg... here's a hint, they've gone done each year...

here's the one for Streveler through the same time frame as Nichols above... as you can see, though fewer dots, a very definite pattern in regards to location...

here's the thing that kills me about Lapo and Nichols... it's relying on Harris to be out in the flat to catch that screen pass... oh, it's great for keeping Nichols numbers up but they suck as a play... you know why he's always open there? because the defense is giving us that play because it sucks... we'd be better off having Harris stay in the back field and block and have Nichols try to complete a play down field because...  getting 3 yds on a screen pass when it's 2nd and 8 still equals a punt... that play is not better than throwing the ball out of bounds...

I haven't done one for Collaros yet, but it shouldn't take long to whip one up, it's only 3 games... and I need to update Streveler's... but I'll throw them together and put them up for you!

damn, you know you're a small town when they don't even bother to count you! lol...
"As far as we can tell, Beaconia has not been included in past StatCan census counts, so there is no population information for this community."

Props to Rich.

Considering that football is almost 4 yards long, my hat goes off to Nichols for even being able to pick it up, much less for the center being able to snap it through his legs.

here's a link to all of the Bombers that have worn the number 19, if you decide on getting the year...

I ran in to a guy in Regina last weekend at the game.... "THIS IS THE YEAR"  #19

I have a blank home jersey that will be fitted with a #8 Collaros on Monday. You simply can’t go wrong, it will always be relevant and legendary. Arguably best trade in CFL history when he pulls it off on Sunday (/positive energy)

Just a heads up that Bart Kives and the CBC are doing a piece on ex-pat Manitobans living in Alberta and how excited they are for this weekend. I did a phone interview with him yesterday, and my understanding is that they'll be down at the GC Festival (Stampede Grounds) tonight shooting some stuff and hoping to chat with others that are from "back home"....
Figured I'd spread the word...

when this is where you are throwing the ball you had better have a high QB rating...

The fact that Zach Collaros in one year has won more playoff games than Matt Nichols in three years might change that. If we had a QB who was a needle mover, we easily beat Calgary in the Western Final last year. 
Are we in the Grey Cup if Nichols is still our starting QB? I highly doubt it.

Sure it is, I'd argue that Bishop had more to do with the Argos 2007 record than Nichols did with the Bombers 2019. Nichols is a classic game manager who can keep a team afloat, but he's not a needle mover.
