     I personally think that a ton of what Lawler does on the field ends up in other receivers seeing bigger numbers.

    I think you could say that of any of our guys.  There's not a single one of them that can be safely ignored, they're all playmakers and a secondary has to account for every man of our starting five.

    I think Lawler is gonna benefit from Schoen and Demski and Woli and Bailey just like those guys benefit from him.

    Kenny Lawler 850 yards 6 TDs in 11 games

    yeah, that's a nice 1250ish yard / 10 TD pace. I think those are pretty solid numbers for a guy who plays on a team with two other 1000 yard receivers and a feature back who soaks up 15 carries a game. 

    I'm so glad we've got KL for the playoffs.

  12. Elks @ Bombers: Week Of Thread

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted · Edited by johnzo

    as a bomber fan, when I think about this week's game I feel like Rocky Butler has pitched a hammock on my grave. 

    This isn't just a trap game, this is a 12' deep tiger pit complete with dung-encrusted punji sticks kind of game.

    buuuutt as a CFL / sports fan I like the drama of the nothing-to-lose snake-in-the-grass Elks vs the lots-to-lose Blue Bombers.  This is exactly why I watch the game.

    Crappy GM. Crappy Head Coach, Crappy team. Most players & caoches should be sent packing & find something they do well. 

    I don't know anything about developing QBs, but I think that Crum has done better than expected for a QB3 starter on a terrible team.  Has he got a CFL future?  Would he be a good QB2 anywhere? 

    Main knock that I see on him is the huge sack numbers .. how much of that is a leaky OL and how much is on Crum?

    18 - 11

    yup.  inter-divisional play is the only way to judge which division is better.

    mysteriously, all the Redblacks' wins came at the expense of the west.  They were 0-9 in their own division but were .500 against the West.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You don't mean this do you?

     

    hell yeah -- this is one of my top ten bomber plays of all time.

    gotta mix in the Milt Miracle, some plays from the 2019 and 2021 playoffs, the 1984 Mikawos Grey Cup killshot TD, the Michael Gray interception in 88, Deon Beasley ending Casey Printers' career in 2010, and now the Parker Pursuit from last week. 

    might be a fun offseason project to pull all those together into a youtube.

    The atmosphere at that game was truly amazing! It felt incredibly special to be surrounded by a sea of Blue. It was also the most nerve-wracking and thrilling game I've experienced in the 5+ years I've been attending Bomber games at BC Place as an expat.

    I wasn't behind the bench -- I was in the last row of the lower bowl behind the Lions bench, and when the giant wall of blue rose up on our 3rd down stop I realized my mistake.  Next year will be in the Blue section!

    BC Place has been an awful place to watch Bomber games for me.  In the 2016 WSF and the 2017 regular season game the Bombers were anti-clutch, blowing 10+ point leads in the fourth quarter both times.  hell, in 2013 we blew a lead to lose in BC Place, which is remarkable because I don't know how often in 2013 we actually led a game.

    In fact, I've seen eight bomber games live since I moved to the West Coast.  They were 0-7 in those games before Friday.  That win was even extra sweet for me because I've been waiting 20 years to see a Blue victory live. 

    Needless to say, that Rhymes reception gave me a trauma response and Parker is now my favorite Bomber.  He was channeling the spirit of Joe Lobendahn there!

    remember the dark days of 2013 when the Redblacks couldn't even find someone to draft from us?  (and I have no hard feelings towards Desjardins for pointing out the reality of the situation; our talent level was brutal then)

    Now our cuts are immediately popping up on other clubs. 

    why the hell did we cut ADS?  dude looked like a real asset.  Or was he a practice roster poaching?
