Every team in the league is running with backups. Even keel now. (Reilley doesn't count because his O-Line other than Chung are bush league. He will be on the IL pretty soon too, sad to say)
Let's see what this team is made of. Season isn't lost yet.Except for the team we play Friday.

Since I've asked you this twice now, how bout for once you tell us in what way(s) Nichols is a better QB than Streveler. Seriously, because the only argument I can make on Nichols' behalf is that he is more risk averse than Streveler, a point which could be argued both ways and could actually fall into Lapo's lap anyway. Otherwise, I think arguments could be made that Chris throws better, certainly runs better, and is far more likely to try to make a play rather than turtle with the ball or throw it away at the first sign of trouble, a trait seen by the better QBs of our league like Reilly and Mitchell.
When Nichols goes through his reads, if the first read isn't there, he goes through the rest until he has to check down or throw it away.
When Streveler goes through his reads, if the first read isn't there, he panics and throws it anyway, panics and throws a pick, or panics and runs.
You can call it "trying to make a play", but it's 1 TD to 2INT this year versus 10TD to 1 INT for Nichols.

I've always noticed the announcers are typically more excited when the losing team scores and makes it closer. It's part of their job to make the game more exciting and closer game are more exciting
The problem with biased fans is that blowouts are more exciting when your team is winning.

Thank God- I just threw up in my mouth a little, thinking I might have to cheer for the criders.
If the Lions win the next two Games, don't they host the WSF? That is what I am cheering for.
If we also win, then all 3 team are at 11-7 and it finishes
2) Sask
3) BC
4) Winnipeg

Well, the only favourable result this weekend was our own Bomber game.
The playoff race as of now:
RECORD NEXT OPPONENTS
Winnipeg - 9-7. bye, vs Calgary, at Edmonton,
BC Lions - 8-7. vs Edmonton, at Sask. vs Calgary
Edmonton - 8-8. at BC, bye, vs Winnipeg
Still a lot of variations in who gets in the playoffs.
What’s interesting is the fact that 4 teams can finish with a 10-8 record and I’m not sure how that would work..
Sask...lose 2 = 10-8
Wpg...win 1 lose 1 = 10-8
BC......win 2 lose 1 = 10-8
Edmonton win 2 = 10-8
It would be bad for the Bombers
Sask 2 Win 1
Sask 1 Edm 1
Sask 1 BC 1
Win 1 Edm 2
Win 1 BC 1
Edm 2 BC 1Total games against tied teams
Edm 5-3
Sask 4-3
BC 3-4
Win 3-5

This still falls under the fact that teams can wipe their ass with the contract players sign, but the players are idiots/selfish if they want to get out the contract.

I think Chairot draws back in Maurice like LD/RD combinations, Buff and him had a nice run a few years back, maybe it will work again, since they are going on road trip and Emstroms injury may be severe they will call up some to sit in the pb. Maybe best to keep Poolman playing with the Moose.
If Enstrom requires missing more than a couple games, they will call up Poolman. They can't go on the road with no extra D. I can't see them calling up an inferior D to Poolman.

Maybe you've just "had too much beer" like I have.
A lot of people don't understand the difference between accidental and incidental and use incidental wrong.
Accidental - Didn't mean to do it.
Incidental - Didn't affect play.
In this case, the trip was accidental as their feet got caught up, but was very non-incidental as it made the catch impossible.

So, my question is this; How many extra points do we get in the standings due to our power ranking? None? Then who cares, really. The only "power rankings" that matter can be found here:
I little bit extra fun. Can't have that.

I like the idea of having 1 challenge on each half... but coaches can't carry over the challenge on 1st half (if they didn't use it) on to the 2nd half.
Problem with that is that it encourages coaches to waste it on something stupid or ticky tacky late in the first half and waste time. Exactly what the change was meant to prevent.

Government of Canada can't figure out how to pay their federal employees, but can figure out how to pay this guy.
If this was a foreign country, look at the optics.
Someone kills a US medic. Gets put in jail. The country faciliates his release and then gives him a big payday. We would be accusing them of state sponsered terrorism.

Lemieux will not be anywhere near the Jets this year barring an incredible amount of injuries. He was quite poor on the Moose last year and will likely need at least another year.

As someone who is directly affected by both, I am (begrudgingly) okay with the wage freeze and losing my recent graduate rebate, as long as everyone has to share the burden.
However the premier/cabinet just voted themselves a 20% wage increase before heroically volunteering to pay back their future increases (which is not the same as a wage freeze) and increased tax credit for political contributions which of course benefits their friends the most.
All this is doing is changing who gets the money.
In the meantime, U of M will be cancelling some classes starting in the fall because the University will claim they can't give money to the departments to hire teachers to run them.

The picket will only be up from 7-5 Monday to Friday. It will not affect any events at the stadium.

To add... IF WPG wins Friday...
Both EDM (vs TOR) and BC (vs SSK) has still something to fight for so their games are not meaningless by any means.
MTL vs HAM on the other hand could be a snooze fest since HAM is already secured to host the cross over team from the West. They will probably wont play Collaros the whole game and make sure he's healthy for the playoffs.
If we win Friday, what does Edmonton have to play for?

So now that Montreal has beaten Calgary, are the Bombers guaranteed at least the 2nd overall pick?
Yes. That guarantees at worst 2nd overall. The only we don't get first is if Toronto wins, and not both of Montreal and Saskatchewan win.

So in terms of the playoff shakedown, with B.C. and Edmonton winning this week coupled with this loss, our only hope of hosting the Western semi-final is if we win next week in Ottawa whilst both Edmonton (playing Toronto) AND B.C. (playing Saskatchewan) lose at home.
Does anyone else feel it might be better to actually go through the East via cross-over? Playing away against Hamilton or Ottawa sounds better than taking on Edmonton or B.C....
Don't need Edmonton to lose, just BC. Our win puts us at 11 wins while Edmonton with a win would only have 10.
That being said it still requires Sask beating BC in BC. (and us winning too of course)

its should go as such: Argos (Bombers) 1st over all - they went 1-1 with Sask and sask beat them by +5 they went 1-1 with the Als with the als winning the series +14
Sask 2nd overall they lost both games to montreal
montreal (BC) 3rd over all having won the series both against TO and Sask
http://www.cfl.ca/game-rule-tiebreak/
- has won the greater number of games played against all member Clubs of the League, then,
- has the higher winning percentage in all games played against all of the other tied Club(s), then,Analysing them 2 by 2 is not how the tiebreak is determined.

I believe the draft order depends on how the teams finished in the standings. Incase of tie of the 3 way at the bottom Tor will end up last since it lose the tie breaker between Mtl and Ssk
The first tiebreaker in a 3 way tie is record amoungst games involving the three teams, not pairwise tiebreakers.

If Als win this they will tie the Argos w/l record and I believe we get the first overall.
Yup
Tor beat Mtl 30-17
Mtl beat Tor 38-11
Tor beat Ssk 30-17
Ssk beat Tor 29-11
But Montreal beat Saskatchewan twice, and thus Sask's record is worst amoungst the 3 teams.

Is that how ties for draft picks are decided? I have no clue, cant remember it happening. Better then flipping a coin xD
Same tiebreakers as playoffs amoungst 3 teams.

If the Riders, Als and Argos all end the season with 5 wins, what would the draft order be?
The Bombers have the Argos first pick and BC has the Als first pick so I am curious who would actually get the first overall pick.
In that case
1st pick - Saskatchewan
2nd pick - Us (Through Tor.)
3rd pick - BC (Through Montreal)
For them to all finish with 5 wins, Montreal would beat Saskatchewan and thus amoungst those teams, Montreal would be 3-1, Toronto would be 2-2 and Saskatchewan would be 1-3

Nice spin attempt here
@ctvwinnipeg: Premier Selinger says Liberal surge should unsettle Manitoba Conservative leader: Manitoba's premier says Cons... https://t.co/IlFiKCTPn7
Not really much spin. In the province the NDP number of seats didn't go down, but the conservatives did.
What he is neglecting of course is the the cons went down because Manitobans wanted change and still do. That doesn't help the NDP nor hurt the provincial Cons.
If anything it should bolster the provincial Liberals. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you ask) they are so disorganized that they likely won't be able to do anything about it.

So who runs to replace Harper? Mulcair?
Even he is not that stupid, but nothing that guy does would surprise me.
