    Or how Toronto didnt have to pay for going over the cap, or being one of the teams that was given an extra Draft pick for no good reason.

    Or how they were owned by the BC Lions owner for several years.

    I know people **** on him here but David Braley is on my good guy list.  Imagine loving the CFL enough that you would own not one, but two teams.  Still, super sketchy and a very weird look for the league.

    I just don't logically understand how an avg 3rd best qb in the league wins mop over a Canadian rb with 2000 combined yards 

    The C = Canadian right? 

    BFL for sure Bush Football league

    Dude, Chad Kelly winning MOP does not even crack the top 100 list of sketchy things that have happened in the CFL.

    There is only one trophy that matters and this year Chad Kelly ain't getting his name on it.

    You guys are knit picking here.

    - i for one would never want nor expect to see Zach running down a defensive player on a pick... Dude's role is to pilot the offense and sling the rock... not chasing down and tackling an opponent.

    I can't remember the exact play but there was an occasion during a recent playoff game where Collaros made an extremely key tackle after a pick and prevented a TD.

    As for current "gamer" jersey.... I had been going with a late 80s Walby for a long time, but it got autographed last year and so now it is retired to the wall

    I think I've got one of those!  Is it made of some horrible offgassing plastic material with silkscreened numbers?  I think the brand is Raven?  And there's no nameplate?

    Among the many MANY things you never ever do to a jersey is wear an autographed one.

    Had a yen for buying a Christo Bilukidi but could only find an Andy Mulumba.

    I've got a sweet vintage royal blue Marinovich jersey that I'll let go for cheap. 

    Or if you want something a little more modern, how about a mid-2000s navy Whizzinator?

    2019 and 2021 I had small gatherings of a few friends. Last year I invited another couple to join my regular group and we lost. They are not allowed back. They are the bad luck guys. Although they did bring a sensational platter of home made pastrami fresh off the smoker,

    you are a true fan and I salute you.  there's pretty much nothing I won't do for homemade pastrami. 

    so what are people wearing for the big game?  I've had a DB97 jersey for years that I stopped wearing after the heartbreaking 2016 west semi that we lost.   This year my girlfriend got me a brand new beautiful uncustomized white road jersey and that's what won the West final, so that one is coming out on game day.  That jersey is undefeated!

    Yeah- I hope they do a better job of disguising the roll out to the right and throw across body to the receiver in the middle at the 8yrd line- I feel that **** is going to get read, picked up and pick6'd. 

    There was one throw like that to BOLO where Suitor pointed out how Collaros paused to reset his body before throwing back into the middle, which he said made the throw a lot crisper and less risky.

    The throw that I do not want to see again is the wide out throw to the field side wide receiver standing flatfooted at the LOS.   As soon as ZC threw that I was like "oh **** pick 6".  It really hung up there for awhile and the DB had hours to make a play on it. BOLO made the catch for like a yard and then got buried.  Damn that is a low-reward high-risk pass to throw and it happened fast enough so that it looked like ZC's first read.  That needs to go in the bin with the blind handoffs and the Prukop shotgun.

    remember those blind handoffs in the first Hamilton game?  Buck was into the lapo mad scientist juice there.

    (standard disclaimer: I know nothing about coaching a passing attack)

    read an article from Ed Tail today that both of BC's receivers tore their achilles

    all the best for speedy recoveries to those guys.  I can't imagine how much that sucks.

    1. Jeffcoat/Willie Just controlled demolition. Watch BC’s tackle #69, they made him look silly. I was actually laughing out loud multiple times. 

    that one play where Willie was clearly playing to contain and then wound up getting the sack anyway when VAJ got flushed -- that play started with #69 getting pancaked on what looked like a patty-cake shove from WJ5.  Good thing for him there won't be film study of that game!

    (of course what looks like a patty-cake shove from WJ would probably put me through the wall, but 69 did not look as steady on his feet as an offensive tackle should, is what I'm sayin)

    yeah BC took it away....and we had a hampered receiving group so we did bare minimum as to not inflict more injuries...and why run BO into a huge mass of bodies and risk him hurt for Grey Cup....I think we knew our defence had it in the bag...so we played it safe and put it in their hands...thats what I saw

    it wasn't just our passing game that suffered -- BC had zero respect for any sweep motion from Demski.  We ran that a few times with Demski going horizontal and Brady between the tackles and Brady got swamped by bodies each time, BC was really keying on him and ignoring any other run looks from us.

    We're so lucky that Lawler is a freak who can solo an entire passing attack.

    I really wonder what happened in that second half that caused our production to crash either way who gives a **** back to the Cup baby

    BC was stacking the box and our passing game was jacked up with all the injuries and Woli playing out of position.  I dunno if Buck was play calling to feed Lawler or if Collaros was ignoring everyone else but our passing game just didn't look right.  Was watching Woli waggle and he wasn't hitting the line like a regular CFL slotback would.

    Last regular season game when BC stacked the box we killed them with Brady in the flats .... wonder why that wasn't available last night. I kinda wonder if Brady got nicked up ... was weird to see Augustine getting carries in a game that wasn't decided yet ... totally not the Bombers style to sub out the top talent unless it's Prukop coming in....
