CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
MOS replaced the unknown Pigrome with the known quantity Prukop, likely at a higher cost. Why would you assume that there were any other factors?

Week 7 - E(l)ks @ Blue Bombers - GDT
I'll take the win, ugly as it was, but boy did we ever try to give it away in the first half. Got our first TD partly cuz we got lucky that the refs on the field didn't see the ball hit the ground on Lawler's big 'catch'. Gave the ball away 3 times in the first half, but Edmonton couldn't capitalize. We couldn't run the ball until the 4th when Edmonton's D finally wore down. Edmonton would become instantly better if they had a QB.

Dobson for Gray or Neuf is one of the changes I was hoping to see this week.

Week 7 - E(l)ks @ Blue Bombers - GDT
I'm agreeing with what most folks are saying, but it's the freakin' Elks.

Week 7 - E(l)ks @ Blue Bombers - GDT
We're playing the Elks folks. Expectation should be a big win. I don't like our front 7, but I expect a big win. I think we should change out either Grey or Neuf, but I expect a big win. I don't like our roster management, but I expect a big win. Elks haven't won this year, so I expect a big win. We're playing the freakin Elks, so I expect a big win.

Week (7) of E(l)ks at Bombers
Looking at the line up it looks like we aren't taking Edmonton seriously. That's probably OK cuz it's Edmonton but a loss would put us behind the 8 ball for first in the west this year.

Week (7) of E(l)ks at Bombers
The Pros are 20 somethings and amazingly athletic. It's like watching really good table tennis players compared to duffers at home in their basement.

Week (7) of E(l)ks at Bombers
I started playing pickleball 4 months ago. It's great fun. If you think it's just for us old folks you should see the pros play.

Bombers @ redblacks GDT - Week 6
Watching the game I wasn't worried until we allowed the 2 point conversion to go to OT. I just assumed we'd make a play to win the game. I suspect the Bombers players felt the same. A lot of the reason that we shut their O down in the first half comes down to a QB starting his first game. He looked like the game was moving way to fast for him in the first half. It seemed to slow down for him in the 2nd half, which is great for a young QB. Why didn't we put a spy on the QB in the 4th Q and in OT? He was killing us with his legs. Collaros isn't going to last the season taking as many hits as he has, so I gotta agree with the replace Neuf crowd. He looked like he was chasing most of the night. What happened to our killer instinct? Last year, no one scored TD's on us in the 4th so going in with a lead = a win.

Argos @ Als Week 6
Faj-jj is a good QB this year and I'm tired of pretending he's not.

Tigercats at Elks July 13
Man the Elf's played badly. If they cut Cornhole this year, do they still owe him 'guaranteed money' next year? 0-9 looks likely considering they play us and the Lions for the next 3 weeks. Outta the playoff picture mid-season is a very bad look. Suitor has always been bad, but I don't remember him being as bad as he was last night. TSN needs to do something about it.

Bombers at Ottawa
I talked my Mom into going to the gym when I was 20ish. She went 3-4 days a week for 50ish years & she was physically good until she hit 90. Unfortunately, she wasn't mentally fit after 80 so she spent a decade in care living out her worst nightmare. I can only hope that she never had a moment of clarity in those last years. I live with my 92 year old FIL to keep him safe. He used to be a runner. He still goes out for a walk, with his walker now, a few times a week, but he can't take care of himself. We have to check if he's wearing his runners or his slippers because he forgets. He can't use a cell phone because he forgot how, so we hold our breath the whole time whenever he goes out. What I'm saying is... Being fit doesn't get more years in your 20's you get more years in your 80's/90's. That may be great or become your worst nightmare.

I actually never met the guy, but I thought he was funny. He triggered all the right people all the time.

The fact that it was a screen pass has no bearing on the call. That's why if you just get in the way, it's not called but a real block gets called.

Elks at SSK
The Riders are 3-1. First win on a goal line stand against Edm. 2nd win in OT because Maier didn't throw the ball away. 3rd win on a single late drive + 2 point convert + returner error for 1 against Edm. Worst 3-1 team ever.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
It's simple. You can't come back towards the LOS and block a guy at any time. Therefore it doesn't matter when the ball was caught or where the ball was caught. It doesn't matter if the player being blocked is past the LOS or behind the LOS either. Those blocks can be called on punt returns down field 40 yards from the LOS.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Crack back blocks have been illegal for years. You can only use a legal block if the ball is caught behind the LOS, so it didn't matter where the ball was actually caught.
