TBURGESS

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.

The Elf's are good for what ails any team. The sky really is falling if we lose to them.

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.

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

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.

I watched my Mom and my wife's Mom go thru it. Not going to happen to me or my wife. We've got an exit plan dontcha know.

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.

Why is the poll already closed? I'd like to go with Ticats, Als, Bombers, & Stamps

Brady O

Absolutely not.

McCrae - The 2 huge plays turned the game around for us Willie J - Just another normal excellent game for him Coaching staff - Making the right changes at half time HH - The ref who called the weak PI that got us 7

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brady O

What if's mean nothing. For example: What if Adams didn't throw the ball to the wrong team 6 times? Who cares? Adams threw for 1,504 yards with six touchdowns and one interception with the Lions last season. I though he played 10 games for the Lions, but it was only 6. Redoing the arithmetic... 6 games last year, none of them anywhere near as bad as this years TOR game + 4 games this year = 9 good games + 1 horrible game. Therefore we should expect that he has a really bad game 1 out of 10 games or twice this year. He's lost 3 games out of 10. Every loss doesn't = Adams playing badly. Note: I'm not saying that makes him a word beater.

BC defense held Toronto to 0 yards in the first quarter. TOR only needed 329 yards to score 45 points. TOR had 106 yards rushing & 249 passing. Not great, but I wouldn't call it being shredded especially when you take the 6 turnovers into account. BC's offense put up 413 Net yards. They had around the same number of first downs, sacks, & Time of Possession as TOR. That punt return TD was a huge play for TOR. First time Adams has looked that bad in a BC uniform. So it's once every 14 games so far, not 8 or 9 times a year. THE stat is turnovers: 6 for Adams, 0 for TOR. (+1 on downs each) The rest of the team mostly did their jobs.

Adams threw 6 picks that directly resulted in most of Toronto's points (34 IIRC). It was a case where a player had a horrible game, not that the whole team had horrible games all at the same time. I'm not making any excuses for BC, just like I didn't make any excuses for WPG last week. Both teams played the best they could on the day and got beaten by better teams. Keep telling yourselves that in our case it was just a bad day by the whole team if you want to, but we won't know if that's true until we've played TOR and BC again.

This one ain't about the Bombers. It's about Adams horrible game and the coach not pulling him. There are 3 top teams in the league. This week the order is: TOR,BC,WPG. Who ends up on top will be the team who can beat the other two more often.

Willie J - One man wrecking crew Brady O - Thorax man had a great game Wolo - First TD got the monkey off of our back HH - Daramy-Swaray - Pulling the ball out in the endzone saved a TD

The other one is back up.

Nope he's saying A happened because of B, not A happened because of B & C.
