  1. NFL attendence dropped through the whole Buffalo experiment. This isn't the only reason Over the last 2 years, I've been to Toronto twice. My trips have included 4 Jays games, 2 Argos games, 1 Ticats game and a TFC game. The Blue Jays got a lot of attention over the last 2 years. Playoffs will do that. 81 games x 40,000 fans is a lot of fans. For the Argos games, there are a lot of week night games, poor parking (expensive and not very close) in the area. The GO Trains get close if coming from the east, but are a bit more of the pain if coming from other directions. Both games I was at were poorly attended. Pricing in the lower bowl is high. Seats in the upper deck are uncomfortable. Parking would even be tougher the days I was there as the CN Exhibition was on at the same time (like the Red River Ex). The Ticat game had a good amount of rabid, football knowedgable fans. Even at 0-9, the fans were great. TFC - Sure they play in the same stadium, but attract a completely different crowd. Seating comfort doesn't matter as much, as fans stand for most of the game. Lots of knowledgeable fans, lots of energy, and a lot of noise, starting with the south endzone. I went on a weeknight with an 8 pm start. The more expensive seats were still not filled on the sides. The ends were full and highly energetic. Again, I think parking is an issue. Parking would even be tougher the days I was there as the CN Exhibition was on at the same time (like the Red River Ex).
  2. I went to two games back-to-back this year in Southern Ontario and wore Bomber gear. I had everyone under the sun talking about the Bombers to me. Maybe there is something to this...
  3. Should read "Western" not Windsor. You better ask Ed Tait to be your "Ed"-itor.
  4. It should be “Bluebombers”. Ottawa Rough Riders vs Saskatchewan Roughriders or it could be the Halifax Red Blacks...
  5. And the starting QB Nichols suffered separate finger and calf injuries in the last half of the season, of which both caused lost playing time.
  6. Did it? TSNs camera work and camera selection was garbage at the end. Looked like we missed the FG by 2 ft, and the ball must have bounced on the yard markers or out of bounds, but can't tell from the video.
  7. The Edmonton event was addressed as the police officer hit was working at a barricade for the CFL game (near Commonwealth Stadium, where the Blue Bombers were playing the Eskimos at the time of the first incident). Why wouldn't you want to show support to the officer, the Edmonton Police, and to those injured later in the evening? The Las Vegas event was pure evil. Those people killed and injured were co-workers, neighbours, friends, and possibly family of Bomber fans. As a concert promoter/host, the events in Las Vegas are directly related to the operation of our stadium and team.
  8. Roberts is old and lost a step. Andrew Harris #ForTheW What about Willard Reaves?
  9. Where is the other half of the league? North Division Team GP W L T PF PA Pts Calgary Stampeders 18 15 3 0 631 404 30 Edmonton Eskimos 18 13 5 0 599 359 26 BC Lions 18 10 8 0 535 470 20 Hamilton Tiger-Cats 18 8 10 0 427 509 16 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 18 7 11 0 404 653 14 Saskatchewan Roughriders 18 6 12 0 422 451 12 Toronto Argonauts 18 4 14 0 376 519 8 Ottawa Rough Riders 18 3 15 0 348 685 6 South Division Team GP W L T PF PA Pts Baltimore Stallions 18 15 3 0 541 369 30 San Antonio Texans 18 12 6 0 630 457 24 Birmingham Barracudas 18 10 8 0 548 518 20 Memphis Mad Dogs 18 9 9 0 346 364 18 Shreveport Pirates 18 5 13 0 465 514 10
  10. I like players using numbers of former greats. When they give that flash of greatness, it reminds me of the great times. Keep retiring numbers and soon your team resembles the modern day Canadiens, 42 passes to 67 and now to 56.
  11. Too bad Khalil wasn't a DB. A couple more dBs of Bass and we'd guarantee IGF the title of loudest stadium. Honestly, I'm still impressed by how much I saw Khalil's Dad in the stands for most of the games. It's like the first chapter of California fan base (before Scott and Gregory Mortland ).
  12. There will be a new jacket hanging in the coaches office. I wonder if O'Shea wears a blazer on the sidelines for the rest of the year.
  13. Did they call a trip on the arm tackle of Finch, or am I seeing/hearing things?
  14. South end zone screen has all the correct data. There must have been a data or computer reset while the camera man was panning the crowd. He did go 720 degrees around.
  15. If the ball was knocked loose by the hit from Leggett's hand, the fumble location is obviously the spot of leggett's hand.
  16. Best part of the game ending: "we won't have to listen to Rod Black"
