CFL draft is a huge crapshoot, yeah. Would be interesting to measure the correlation between draft position and career longevity. maybe @DTonOB has this? dude is doing mad science with his basement CFL stats lab.

how much of this is due to us consistently drafting late for years now because we've had a really good team?

I hope I'm wrong but I've got the feeling that Roadhouse's best days are behind him ... and even if he can get back to his peak, he's going to take awhile to get there.

has there ever been a Bomber OC that MBB liked? Looking at the recent OCs... Marcel Bellefeuille -- emergency scrap heap guy, only competent option at the time, somehow hung on way too long Lapo -- too cerebral, no killer instinct, bad playcaller. QBs check down too often. Buck -- ruined Streveler, predictable playcaller. QBs go deep too often. Hogan -- worse than Buck. offence starts hot and ends cold. can't make adjustments. seen wearing backwards hat and sunglasses. seriously, I don't think I can recall an OC who was good enough for this board.

rollin with Rankin

Holy cow, that sounds like an incredible amount of work. Super curious about the tools and data sources you use -- do you have your own play-by-play database?

@DTonOB what data sources do you use for your research? Does the CFL have a stats database for media?

Demski just passed 100 yards with that catch.

damn, Wheatfall earning his loonies tonight.

yeah, the TSN endzone camera showed zero daylight in between the tackles.

vintage ZC8 matador move.

nope, just saying it how it is.

yeah, feels like we're rolling with a bunch of guys who would be perfectly good WR2s and WR3s.

Ottawa has to change up something in the second half -- Brown not looking like the laser surgeon he played like last week, and Geno getting sticky coverage. They gotta figure it out or else game over.

D Mitchell not showing up much in the broadcast, what's up with him? Zach has never been a guy to really spread the ball around so I ain't gonna assume that Mitchell is playing bad just cause he's not getting targets.

Milt calls out Wheatfall. Making catches in heavy traffic and keeping the ball safe. Needed a veteran to step up tonight, love to see it.

Wheatfall playing gritty tonight.

****! I thought the officials were unpaid. should've googled that. my bad.

yeah, I will normally be pretty easy on the refs because they are volunteers doing a super hard job in front of tens of thousands of hostile people ... but I'm hating how slow calls come nowadays. Conferences on touchdown calls. Every penalty discussion needs to be scheduled on Teams.

great hang time. I've read a lot of blunt appraisals on this site but I think this is the coldest.

Think I'm a couple minutes behind on the stream. Newf strong candidate for block of the game there on the Demski screen. Loved TSN's iso on that.

maybe throwing jump balls to Sterns in the corner is not automatically a bad play call...

my brain says the bombers are in tough tonight, but my heart says GO BIG BLUE. 💙
