no Harris is a good ******* running back that does so many things for the offense in the backfield. Just because stupid sexy flanders is a good injury replacement doesn't mean we cater to him over our star runningback.

Hamilton has some real problems. Their D used to be an absolute terror a year or two ago now they look like a bunch of ***** cats. What happened? They get figured out?

That's what makes the last second loss difficult, they were so close to shoving it back in his face and they let it slip away. Best way to get people to stop being cocky pricks is make them eat their words.

The D was ineffective getting pressure on Mitchell and when they did bring people the coverage was too loose and he had easy completions. Saw it in the first game in Calgary too, too much space in the middle of the field allowing easy first downs. The only time the D was effective was when they got good and pissed off and started laying the wood on the guys catching the ball. Letting the Stamps easily move into field goal range with 27 seconds left is just unacceptable. Shame on the Lapo offense as well taking until half time to adjust to things that would actually work. Flanders and the run game is good but of course they waited until being down by 24 to use it.

Yeah I bet it does, you sure you don't want to add McDavid in there just to sweeten the pot a little bit? Maybe add Draisaitl too just to make sure it goes through?

yeah since the last ice age is a bit cherry picking too. That's really not a long time geologically speaking.

Win or lose we booze!

but they have been getting reviews wrong every year since they started... it's a lot easier for me to accept human error when there is no review so for that reason just get rid of it and we'll all live with the breaks evening out over the course of a season. Plus then we wouldn't get refs afraid to throw a flag or being overzealous throwing flags because they know that the replay official will do their job for them.

2006 indeed, it was the worst experience I have ever had at a football game. Weather was cold and snowing and horrible and the Bombers were even worse.

Just scrap the entire review process already. Been a **** show from the day they implemented it and all their constant tweaks to try and fix it have only made it worse.

glitch in the matrix

**** that ****, I don't want to sit in the cold assed rain in Calgary, and in September it's just as likely to be snow as it is rain. Give me a sunny fall afternoon and may the better team win.

That's me, and you just know it's true.

Just for the record, you don't need a PhD to be a scientist... I am a scientist and I only have a bachelors. Hell I know people who do research too without a PhD and only a masters. Scientist is really just a catch all term for people who science. Now experts are probably all going to have doctorates but then again you can have a PhD in something unrelated and it doesn't make you an expert on a different subject. People need to stop looking simply at the what kind of education or background someone has and simply try and understand the topics and decide if what someone is saying makes sense or not. Too much appealing to authority going on. There are unfortunately a lot of people in this world who don't have the kind of mindset that allows them to form their own opinions based on evidence and need to be told what to think by "experts"

but taking the 5 best times isn't really anything to do with average. the fastest of the fast at a skill position? Sure I'll buy that, but rank and file I get outside those elite few there's more dbs than receivers with speed. Also I really don't like using NFL numbers when speaking on a CFL forum. Those super fast receivers are few and far between up here and we get a lot of dbs that simply don't have the height requirement so it probably skews things in their favour in this league.

tough is not playing the Riders twice. We had the super soft part of our schedule in the middle, the Lions get theirs at the end.

and we are talking what? 100ths of a second differences? Which is inconsequential in the game of football. DBs are fast and there is a reason you see tons of tall receivers and so few tall dbs. DBs need to be fast to react, the receiver already knows what he's doing, the db needs to be able to react and keep up with that. Think about it like track and field, guys who win the 100m outside of Usain Bolt who is just a freak all tend to be shorter in comparison but as you get into the 200 and 400m you start to see taller players. Reason is pretty simple, long strides make a difference over a longer haul but short guys have more quickness, which in football is far more important. You make that quick move and the ball is in your hands and you're getting the first down. The reason you want a taller receiver is because you can get them to use their size to win battles, but if you have a bigger db they are probably going to struggle with the quick reactions more often than not. How often in football do you actually see a flat out 40 yard sprint? Those times don't mean a hell of a lot in the game of football.

Adams had a long lay off due to injury, he's just finished his preseason games, he'll be back to form, you can already see the flashes of it too. Randle too coming off injury we shouldn't be surprised he had some rough moments last game. They will be fine I have no worries about that.

I am also an asshat and will pick Messam, Bombers have had a hard time stopping him the last few years so go ahead Bombers, prove me wrong, prove me wrong.

I would like to see some evidence of this, dbs are always among the fastest guys on the team, Or at very least the quickest because a db who isn't quick isn't going to accomplish jack **** out there.

burn.

but if they didn't have a kicker who can hit consistently from 45 yards or better they'd probably punt more and with how good the cover teams are maybe they'd get either more turnovers or just keep tilting the field position to the point where eventually they do get the points anyway. So many moving pieces in football it's impossible to say that without this it's this.

but some teams take more care of the ball and don't let the other team get those take aways. Calgary is one such team. It's a two way street, the Bombers take advantage but Calgary doesn't give teams as many chances to take the ball away. I mean the Stamps certainly aren't going to make risky gambles in dumb situations on 3rd down as one example.

Perhaps trusting in their ability to develop young qbs behind Ray, seeing as they did it with Harris and Collaros. Sticking with the vet isn't a mistake, especially when they did make good offers to keep Harris and he opted to leave anyway.
