At the expense of samberg our best defensive d man at that. I’m hoping samberg has the Asian ancestor flu that was going around the jets for the past 2 weeks now. But to be fair, the pylon has played ok against 2 really really bad teams so.
And time for some soon to be ufa fun…So can only sign 2… pick them
Demelo
Dillon
Monahan
Toffoli.
Monahan and Toffoli.

You have no clue. You can stick to your ideology like some feckless zealot while ignoring the facts. The Edmonton Eskimos finished first in a very tough Western Division where a 9-7 Rider team didn't make the playoffs in the West while a 3-13 Montreal team did in the East. The Rough Riders at 5-11 had the the worst record of any team to ever play in the history of the Grey Cup.
I was looking at scores from that season and some interesting facts come out for me:
- Edmonton lost only one game all season - guess who beat them? Yup, Dieter and Crew, 38 - 28
- I remembered why I grew up thinking "Barnagel" was so good, because Sask came into our barn that year and beat us, one of only two teams to do so at home that year (not counting that uber-crappy Western Semi-Final game). I remember being very mad after that Sask game.
- We beat Montreal 58-2 that year. HA HAA HAAA HAAA I think that game destroyed Vince Ferragamo.

just that they don't deserve the moniker of two headed monster and unstoppable force that people had bandied about. They were a good tandem, nothing more.

Not if they went 9-7. Like I said, I wouldn't be disappointed either but I like winning better than I like stats. My top two tandems that I measure all others are Austin/Burgess and Holloway/Barnes. Both put up big numbers, both had championships to their name. Not trying to be a bugaboo about it, I just value wins as part of the equation.
Austin/Burgess was really effective for sure.
Hopefully one day "Collaros and Streveler" will be right up there, if they can put together two solid seasons and even another Cup or two.

I know this show ended 10 years ago but I finally watched all 7 seasons of SOA. I also found out that Tiggy lives just down the road from me in West Kelowna.

13000+ in attendance tonight, but crowd was quiet. I really hope playoffs are all sellouts and loud.
The new guys looked great and Tofolli had a couple of glorious chances. Toffoli, Monahan and Iafallo looked fantastic out there.
Perfetti had a beauty deflection that rang off the iron. He had a very strong game but when Villardi returns, He's likely in the press box.
I'm going with the "TMI line" as their nickname - they score a goal, then come off the ice and tell you all about their latest colonoscopy.

The two headed monster played much better than that lame description.. Both qbs threw for a combined 4,603 yards & 33 touchdowns. But it's the Riders so naturally let's dismiss their play as subpar. The CFL was all abuzz about the way Joe Barnes & John Hufnagel played in 1981. Those guys carried a so so team on their backs all season. They finished 9-7 out of the playoffs as there was no crossover at that time.
Yes I remember every Roughrider game that I watched that year (and not all games were televised back then) the announcers were talking about "Barnagel". They were an effective one-two punch. The Bombers utilized Hufnagel in that capacity to some extent as well bringing in Huffer when Clements was struggling. The biggest example of that was the 1984 Grey Cup. I was always a fan of "mixing things up".

Strevelers injury, a broken ankle, isn’t a wear and tear thing. It was a freak accident made worse by riders targeting it.
Both streveler and buck need to evolve to the modern qb run packages. The cfl on the whole is lacking in this area. But I see no reason why he can’t put up a ton of rush yards while staying healthy and productive. Doesn’t hurt being bigger and stronger than half the guys on the field for defense. -

How about Iamonafoli?
Sounds like an Italian restaurant.
How about the "Forgetaboutit" line?? LOL

Miller looks to be paired with Samberg. Toffoli on a line with Monahan and Iaffalo.
too early to give that line a nickname? Tofalohan? The TMI line?

Special game time: 6:30 pm Sportsnet
The story - Debuts of Toffoli and Miller presumably , as the club tries to bounce back from “the worst performance ever in the Bowness era” (according to the coach himself). Caps on a 4 game winning streak against the Jets.
never got past the first period so I'll take Rick's word for it.

Two headed monster or dangerous is a pretty generous description but I guess it was one of the few years in the 70's and 80's that the Riders finished above .500 so while not all that great compared to the rest of the CFL, it certainly was pretty good QBing by Rider standards.
ok then how about Wilkinson and Moon in Edmonton? LOL Moonkinson - I just made that up.

Worked like a charm I'm the 2019 playoffs so I expect that to continue
would like to see a bomb to Brady in the end zone in this year's GC by Strevy like we saw him connect with Harris in 2019. Always like to see Brady used more for screens and receptions, though as we saw in the Ottawa game, he's got to remember to hang on to the ball.

Looking back at great qb. tandems in the CFL...I would have to rate the Russ Jackson and Ronnie Lancaster as one of the best twosome's....They were a force back then... Eventually though Ottawa traded Lancaster to Sask. and it worked out well for them... Russ continued to play 'lights out' for the Rough Riders ...I think our duo of Streve and Zack are very comparable and they'll be a helluva problem for opposition defences ...Scheming for us will be a huge problem for the rest of the league...Looking forward to it.......heh heh
Still remember in 1981 when the Riders had Huffer and Joe Barnes as a two-headed monster at QB, the advent of "Barnagel" as it was called was especially dangerous with Joey Walters at SB.

Best Bomber coach in my 40+ years and he never won.
of all the times I've seen the Bombers in the GC, the 2001 loss still stings the most. That would have been a great year to break the drought, all the pieces were in place...and we let it slip through our fingers...argh...

Message to latest players acquired......'That was not the real Jets'.....It looked like a well rested Canuck club as opposed to a 'bagged' team coming in from Seattle ...What crappy scheduling.....Don't like ever using that excuse but c'mon.....We'll even that one up in our barn in the last reg. season game....bloody rights
I was wondering about that too - how many times this year have the Canucks benefited from a team coming in from a previous night's game in Seattle? Of course, the Jets often get the same with a team coming in after playing the Wild the previous night...so...there's that...I guess.

Night night. What a disappointment.

7 pm start for me which is still too late.
Game 68 : @ Not Yet Rated

Yes, Winnipeg isn't supposed to win in New York. I still remember when we won in New York in 1979 in our first year in the NHL, which wasn't supposed to happen. The ref (I think it was Bruce Hood) talked about how he got death threats after the game.
