Mr. Perfect

Other random thoughts in no particular order... - I was mildly nervous about the game tonight prior to it starting. Jennings historically has performed well against the Bombers. That said Ottawa has no one comparable to a Burnham or Arceneaux. Considering they're a team the focuses on the short/intermediate passing game, I'm not sure the scheme fit is a good one for him. - The drive before the first half ended was legitimately the best single drive I've seen the Bombers put together in years. Absolutely text book marching 90+ yards with 3 minutes to go to get a TD and leave no time remaining. - Petermann is a tank. I know people have said Woli is a Jason Clermont clone. Personally I think Petermann is, and that's nothing against Woli whatsoever. - Very happy with the depth we have both at import and non-import receiver. - I love Geoff Grey. Jefferson as well. - What's Ottawa's cap situation like? Who exactly are they paying big bucks to? I just can't see why, regardless of who they may be paying, that you let both Harris and Ellingson walk... - Not sure what he did in the off season, but Medlock is pure gold in punting and kickoffs this year. - Lawler is a baller. - The "fake" field goal that resulted in a procedure penalty against Ottawa was amusing... -...As was just about anything they attempted all night. - One of these days, Streveler is going to bounce one off tackle 70 yards for a TD. No kiddin'... - Our D-line as a whole, even the backups like Roh and Thomas...love them. - Lots of 8's and 9's in the rum hut tonight. - I'm a little drunk - And once again, and I'll keep saying it until something changes, no one scares me this year. - HOW BOUT THAT SMOKE?!

IMO, the best single game of Matt Nichols career. Good for him.

Chamblin seriously punted there? Holy hell...

MBT would be a serviceable QB if he could ever knock it off with the picks... ...And Chamblin needs to keep it together better than that. Be pissed at your player sure....but don't chew him out like that either. That's how you lose a player, and lose a room...if he hasn't already.

Arbuckle got straight baited.

What if I told you, that Jim Popp just got lucky with Anthony Calvillo, and is really just a crap GM at the end of the day?🤔🤔

Cheating the cap yet he fields a team like that? Amazing. In all seriousness though, circumventing the cap and charging staff for plane tickets....ban him for life.

Poor Khari. Sure Kavis was a dud of a GM, but it appears Mr. Wettenhall has taken the scene from Dumb and Dumber to heart...."Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber..."

Randle simply put just isn't the player he once was. He took a significant step back last year and has continued to regress this season. I wouldn't be surprised if this is his final season.

The same thought crossed my mind but I was hesitant on saying it.

Which is kind of surprising because in my opinion the overall talent level in the league is down this year...but yes that vast majority of the games have been enjoyable to watch this season.

Apologies for sounding like a broken record, but again, nobody scares me watching these other teams play.

Random thoughts so far: - We may get 3 or 4 picks against Davis next week. - Neilsen is already better than Rod Black at play by play - As I said a couple weeks ago, Khari has the Als playing hard, tough football every week despite a significant lack of talent. - Not his fault, but does Brad Sinopoli still play for Ottawa? - Split screen is brutal - Wouldn't it be something if Montreal somehow knocked off Hamilton in the playoffs... - ...Is Montreal actually going to make the playoffs? Doesn't seem so crazy does it? - Jon Jennings may get some reps in the not too distant future.

Rewatching the game, I'll preface this comment by acknowledging he's never played tackle before last night but Speller was ugly at right tackle. Hopefully Hardrick is good for next Friday. Desjarlais almost got Nichols killed just before the ens of the first half as well.

The way some people respond makes me wonder if they are use to how football is played on Madden. You're not going to keep going full tilt when the game is over at half time, and your coaches will also adjust their calls accordingly. That's just how football is. It's literally no different than hockey when a team has a 5-0 lead after 40 minutes. The rest of the game is essentially a scrimmage at that point.

Nichols did his job tonight. No problem with how he played.

I can't stand Lapo...but...It's a three possession game at the half. Its bound to happen. The game would not have been called the same way had it been a ten point game.

Saskatchewan, BC, Toronto, Montreal...there are some BAD teams in the league this year. Not good for the overall product when four of the nine teams are awful, and Ottawa isn't too far ahead of that group of four either.

Make it a 3 possession game by kicking instead of 4 if you don't convert.

The Lions have given up.

That's not going to make the offensive line magically learn how to block.

Despite our flaws, every game I watch I feel better and better about the team we have.

You can't roll out when your tackles are being knocked on their rear ends.

Screen passes, hitches, slants....figure it out. Your line cant friggin block lol.
