    Honestly, some of the spots are getting tired. There's only so many Flex Cams one can handle. 

    It got a great pop and the fans enjoyed it. Win-win. 

    I like the switch from the kiss cam to the hug cam a lot. Not assuming that two people that present as opposite genders are partners that would kiss, whereas hugging could be friends, family, partners, other Bomber fans...

  2. This is great. Thanks, @wbbfan!

    Could you help me understand how the expected gain is calculated? Is it assuming getting a first down on the play, getting a first down on the set of downs remaining before a punt, season averages for that particular player, or something different entirely?

  3. 1. McRae -- player of the game. He's not coming off the roster anytime soon. Love the game of chicken he played on the FG return. One more cut and he was gone -- just missed the read on Kelly's block.

    2. Bailey -- Some hard fought yardage and a TD.

    3. Houston – The pick.

    HH. The jumbo package of 2,100lbs and 10 minutes grinding out the yards

    Douchebag of the game and forever — Awe for his victory formation antics

    The two LBs bring different things to the table... when deployed on D, Gauthier plays MLB and Briggs plays WIL... neither has ever been a consistent starter... Briggs for a few games as an injury replacement in 2019... both guys getting a little older (Briggs 33, Gauthier 31) and may not have a lot of time left... their biggest impact is on special teams... Gauthier, especially, as I'll never forget the game saving play he made in the 2019 WCF...

    Well put! I didn't realize Briggs was older (even though it would be a simple check on the website) than Gauthier. I've just found it interesting that Gauthier as the MIKE body type seems to get into games on passing downs more than Briggs. But perhaps that's because we have Bighill effectively playing WIL or even safety on those downs? And yes -- that Gauthier tackle was perhaps the most critical play in breaking our Cup drought during that playoff run.

    Well, first link to a "Thread"....depth for tomorrow is out:

    I like the move to Threads and away from Elon Musk's dystopia but I don't like this "starting lineup" format they are using this year where they don't show the additions and subtractions from the roster. I know we can still find the PDF on their site but that takes more work.

    As for the depth chart itself...

    - Going to miss Gauthier. Hopefully Briggs will have a good game. He seemed to be ahead of Gauthier a season or two ago (if I recall correctly he started at WIL for a spell) but then got surpassed.

    - I continue to be amused that they are giving Thomas a secondary OL number even though we're rostering 7 OL

    - Love keeping McRae on the roster

    If Demski is in the lineup, I'd almost prefer to see Agudosi take that spot instead of McCrae. 

    We don't have a "jump-ball" type of reciever without him in the lineup.

    I think Schoen is probably the closest to this and seems to have ability to high point the ball along with his amazing route running etc.

  6. I find it comical that we still have Thomas also listed with an OL number  despite rostering 7 OL.

    As for listing Jeffcoat or Jefferson as the Designated National -- I'm not sure how that rule works. I believe it involves a snap count of 23, but do they only track snaps where the Designated National comes in for a Canadian, or do they track all snaps that player plays? If it's the latter, that could be the rationale for not using it on one of the Jeffs. I wonder how many snaps Grant takes per game factoring in KO and punt returns.

    That's the funniest thing of all of this. They took their absolute best shot.... and still got their asses kicked.

    Reading the RF thread about the game is also comical. Highlights include talking about the "phantom PI" where Demski got bowled over, us getting away with illegal blocks on the Grant TD, and someone saying we have peaked already and the Riders are ascending.

    1. Collaros - Running and passing

    2. Grant - That return broke the Riders spirit

    3. Schoen - Amazing hands

    HH - Demski - got us out of trouble over and over

    Demski's become such an incredible route runner. It's so nice to watch.

    See Jake move out to DE for the Bombers final D snap of the game?  He tore off after Harris like he was Willie J!  MBB is being punked.

    He could have an HH mention for his play in peeling off his block and taking down Harris or the running back, I forget which. Solid play by fatboi!

  8. 1. Houston — two interceptions and a couple other nice plays on the ball.

    2. Jefferson — Playing with fire. The knockdowns. The sack / forced fumble. Coaching up his teammates on the field and hyping up the crowd.

    3. Demski (as a receiver / after the fumble) — incredible corner route running and ability to find the ball on the TD and that long catch in the first. That last one was right in front of our section and it was a beauty to see.

    HH. Jackson — I don't know that using a Designated American spot on him is the best roster management in the longer term but he had a great first pro game on teams and in jumbo / max protect on offense.
