👁‍🗨S p r e a d I n g the ball around. This is how I like an offence. Use all your receivers along with the strong running game. 
So far, veteran wide receiver Darvin Adams has been targeted 13 times and has eight catches.
Meanwhile, newcomer Lucky Whitehead has been targeted 13 times for nine, Nic Demski 14 for nine, Drew Wolitarsky 12 for 9 and the combination of Chris Matthews, Kenny Lawler and Charles Nelson 11 for eight.
The team leader in both categories is actually running back Andrew Harris, who has been targeted 15 times for 13 catches. - Ted Wyman

He deserved the fine for stupidity. 

That voice you hear yelling “Why don’t you take a knee!” is actually my brother aka @Tony Fresco here on the board.  
We are in different seats now, but that year we were real close to a camera.  

Hey Adrenaline, why is your profile avatar the new Rider mascot?
 

The knee on 3down confused me.. 
We should have gone for a score.. 
 
Perhaps a nice jet package. 
 

Thats awesome!! what a wonderful moment/memory for you and your daughter.
 
Off topic, But My 9 year, My parents and i are driving to Minneapolis at the end of the month in a 1959 chrysler and a 1960 chrysler for a car show.    I have fun memories of driving to places in the US for car shows specific to these cars with my parents 20 years ago and i'm really happy that My son will be able to share them with me and his grandparents.. I wanted to bring my 4.5 year old daughter but she would he too much of a handful driving all that way in these cars.

To let the rest of the leagues see what an amazing play the jet package is? 
I assumed that was obvious.

Matt Dunigan is a fantastic commentator because the only thing he is biased for is a good game. Guy is just excited to watch football and it shows.

The free kids at the Eskimos game is great news!  The plan was already in place to take my daughter and 4 of her friends to the game against the bombers for her bday party!  Things just got a lot cheaper haha!

If the Bombers lowered the kids prices i would go and see more games.. my 9 year old only wants to go because he can go on the field after the game.. not really interested in the game itself.. or atleast watching with me at home.
The price is kinda expensive just to get him on the field.. I would also bring my 4 year, she would probally be into it, but that alot of money to bring two kids that are not super interested, aside from the snacks, drinks and playing on the field. 
 
 

Argos are better than their record

Think teams are starting to realize they have to start being much more affordable. Esk are giving free admission to kids 17 and under.

After an appropriate cooling down period for sober reflection minus the emotional bent, some thoughts on the game:
- Like the confidence of the coaching staff to go for 3rd and short gambles that are not "3rd and inches" gimmes, but Streveler saved the o-line's bacon on a couple of occasions with pure strength, grit, and never quit attitude. Should have been stuffed at least twice due to a bad push from the line, but found a way to outmuscle the defensive player and get the first down. Good to know he can make something out of nothing, but we are going to get burned on a key 3rd down attempt if those o-line mistakes are not corrected.
- Having said that, those who pine for Streveler to take over the starting job from Nichols during the course of this season should not hold their breath. Wasn't too inspired by his play once he came in full time, certainly not compared to how methodical Nichols looked moving the offence.
- Very confused why the command centre did not call down and point out the facemask that ripped Harris' helmet off. I'm pretty positive they can make a call on any penalty play even if the coach cannot challenge it. But I get why the on-field refs missed it. Harris was not in a spot where it was clearly visible from the backfield judge or anyone other than the sideline crew, and his helmet comes off so easily every game it would be simple to assume it just popped off rather than being pulled off. Dude needs to tighten that chinstrap.
- Everyone was so pumped to get Chris Matthews back and see what he could do. Still waiting. Meanwhile, quietly forgotten sidekick Darvin Adams made some spectacular clutch catches in the game to move the chains on second and long.
- Still think Ryan Lankford has the physical tools to be a big return threat, but Friday night was another example of how it is between the ears that is holding him back, and at this point I don't see coaching being able to correct that.
- Would just like to note that the Bomber defence has not allowed a touchdown in the last 34 opposition drives, and in 39 of 40 so far this season. Tip of the cap to the oft-maligned defensive co-ordinator Richie Hall.
 - Would just like to note that the Bombers were the only CFL team to score at least 2 offensive TDs in every game last year, have scored 4 offensive TDs in each game so far this year (12 in 43 total drives), are 9 out of 11 in converting red zone opportunities into TDs this year (the only two times they have failed is when they took a knee at the end of the game to run out the clock deep in opposition territory), and have scored a TD in their opening drive of the second half in each game this year. Tip of the cap to oft-maligned offensive co-ordinator Paul LaPolice.
- Ottawa actually took a knee out of "victory formation" on 3rd down with 20 seconds left on the clock, literally conceding a turnover to the Bombers on their own 20 yard line while trailing in the game. Have never seen that before.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, they pump up the team that is losing to keep their fan base engaged and positive by pointing out some of the bright spots, while their team is getting run over?
Honestly, i don't knwo why any of you care about the commentary at all. Its just another layer of enjoyment for me watching the game.  While i like going to games at the stadium, i prefer to watch games on tv as the plays are more focused, the replays are easy to see and they break down things and point out things i wouldn't otherwise see.
The stadium is great for being out with my Kids or with my friends, but for alot of the game i miss things. Might be my ADHD keeping me from paying attention and instead focusing on all the other **** going on. 

Please, please, please let us know what night you're going because I want to be there...
