The 2012 Tiger Cats are my favorite flipside example -- top scoring team in the league, finished last in the East because Casey Creehan's D was so so so so sooooo bad.

there's a tweet in another thread that says that Newf still has a week to go on his six-game, so the question is moot.

hell, the Bombers' last win in 1990 was without a 1000-yard receiver. Rick House was our leader with 883 yards, if statscrew.com is to be trusted. clicking around on statscrew, I see that James Murphy somehow got 1400 yards in 1988 ... man, that's some Stegall-level work considering the QBs we rolled out in 88.

oh man I would love to go to this. have fun you guys, and I hope the fans aren't just the human wreckage who call into radio shows. "yeah Mike, less of a question, more of a comment ... you know what I think the Bombers should do? I think you should try to score a touchdown on every drive."

would you expect that Neufeld would be rostered against the Als when he's just had his first week of practice in like ten months? Can a vet shake off the rust that fast? (asking because I honestly don't know ... just seems like a lot to ask a guy who's been on the shelf for nearly a year)

Me: you know I don't think much of Trump but at least he got rid of that crazy kill-em-all motherfucker John Bolton. Trump: hold my beer

damn, Muamba channeling 2013 there

this is starting to resemble a CFL game. drama, great action.

for ****'s sake, Hamilton.

I think BC is going to absolutely paste the redblacks. BC is awful but talented, against a dead end no hope team like Ottawa they could bust out.

speaking of men playing boys... had to watch this clip over and over while making the animated gif and I enjoyed it more each time

In theory, everything is impeachable -- it's a political process, not a criminal one. In practice, nothing is impeachable unless Moscow Mitch says it is, and MM thinks things are just fine at the moment.

The upside of the Trump administration is watching the worst people in the world being abused by the worst boss in the world.

Mixed feelings about this. Bolton never saw a brown person he didn't want to bomb, so keeping him the hell away from the government is a sound move.

Yeah, Gainey did not account for Augustine on the TD play. Didn't see JA until he was well past him. damned if Augustine doesn't have a gift for making Ed Gainey look bad, torching him on explosion plays two weeks in a row. gotta keep him on hand for those rivalry games.

I am teaching myself songwriting and electronic music production so here are a couple of tracks. Yacht Wreck, going for a stompy old rock vibe here. 43 Sieges, something more brooding, ominous, a soundtrack you'd hear on a VHS tape from the 80s.

Yeah, but that's par for he course around here, it's a pretty damn bipolar place. It's just the way it goes. Lose a game and everything the team has achieved so far this year is fraudulent, smoke and mirrors. Win and we are on greased skids to a grey cup. Win big enough vs the riders and even Rod Black gets some kind words. There were folks losing it in the game day thread when the Riders scored the 35-10 TD.

the call on that Augustine TD was so great .. Streveler has just released the ball and you can't even see Augustine in the shot yet and Matty just starts yelling "Got him! Got him!" and then after the catch Black chimes in with "He got him!" Those guys actually had some rhythm yesterday. Maybe a great color guy can elevate everyone around them like a great QB can. TSN should keep those two together.

no way, that guy was super fun to watch and a real corsair out there but as a passer he wasn't great. He was a lifetime sub-50% passer in an era when the top guys were around 60%

Three critical second down plays in the first half with the game still completely in doubt, Streveler converts them all with gutsy power running.

and also please spell Streveler's name properly like I didn't. I'm always mispeling Nicholls and Streveller.

no problem at all. please post the url of the thread so I can check it out ... have been meaning to do more CFLing on Reddit.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers QB Chris Streveller runs for a first down against the Saskatchewan Roughriders during second-quarter action at Investors' Group Field in Winnipeg Saturday afternoon.

one of the little things I'm liking is how Augustine and Streveler are both running through some heavy traffic with good ball security. whenever I see a backup canuck tailback like LaFrance or Lochard they always seem to have fumble-itis, but Augustine keeps the ball safe.
