I sure wouldn't be. I know that there are always some people that act like that, but I am not one of them. If they wouldn't have made those 4 yards I would have thought nothing about O'Shea and I would have focused on Richie Hall and the defence that crapped the bed. O'Shea made a bad decision. The kick wasn't even close. Again, I don't think I have ever seen a coach attempt a 61 yard field goal when there was still plenty of time on the clock. A good coach has to play the odds better than that. Just my opinion.

He made that kick out doors mbrg with a wind at his back. There's a big difference between the two situations. And history agrees with me. If there's 36 seconds left in the game and your that far out, you try and get the 4 yards. That's a no brainer, or it should be. 61 yards is too far of a kick to ask of even the best kicker, (which I believe Medlock is.), in a dome.

I'm sorry but I could not disagree with you more on this one. The reason you never see a 61 yarder attempted is because no coach worth their salt would try it. (Unless you have a Janikowski type kicker, which Medlock is not, in terms of leg strength.) The only time you might see it is when they are in desperation mode because there is no time left on the clock. In any other situation it is ludicrous to try a 61 yard field goal. I have never seen it attempted with ample time still left on the clock in my many years watching football. I don't care how good Justin Medlock is, he has never made a kick in a dome from that distance in a game, which is night and day different than doing it practice, because no one in the history of the CFL has done it. We are talking about odds here. We are talking about the odds of a kicker making a kick that has never been made in the history of the CFL to putting your offence back on the field to try and get 4 yards. Of course it's not a sure thing that they make the 4 yards, but the odds are better. A lot better. It was a meat head decision by O'Shea.

The defence was not good this year. They gave up the most net yards in the CFL. They were the worst in that category giving up an average of 408 yards a game. That is not good and if it wasn't for the turnovers that they created all year they would have been at the bottom of the heap in terms of points against as well.

Getting 4 yards in one play is about the same odds as kicking a 61 yard field goal? There has never been a field goal made indoors at that distance in the history of the CFL and you honestly think the odds are the same as making 4 yards? That opinion defies all logic.

Going for a 61 yard field goal was really dumb. Really really dumb.

When the Stamps play in the Western Final on Nov. 20, they will have had 20 days off and Bo Levi Mitchell will have not played in a game in 30 days. (Basically a month!) If any anyone is going to catch the Stamps on a bad day, the Western Final would be the most likely day. I think the Bombers would have their best chance if they played the Stamps after such a long layoff instead of in the biggest game of the year in the Grey Cup.

So now that Montreal has beaten Calgary, are the Bombers guaranteed at least the 2nd overall pick?

If the Riders, Als and Argos all end the season with 5 wins, what would the draft order be? The Bombers have the Argos first pick and BC has the Als first pick so I am curious who would actually get the first overall pick.

Loffler had a nice little "wow" play when he broke up a deep pass down the middle. The WR was complaining that it was PI, but receivers are always whining about that. I don't think Willy had his best day. He was a little off today, but come on, it's day one of camp. The QB's in general seemed just slightly off today. The best laugh of the day was when some lady heckled Willy when he threw a pass behind the receiver. "NICE UNDER THROW WILLY!" Some people have no clue... I watched Corney for a bit. It seems like he has some good jump to his step. I can't wait to see him when things get real on that line. #80 Thomas Mayo is not going to make this team if he keeps running routes the way he does. Yikes. To be honest, I don't think Mayo's going to make the team. Justin Veltung looked sharp. Brothers 7 & 12 looked sharp. They are brothers right, like the Sedin twins? Posey had a nice pick. The DB's in general were on the ball today.

The fact that Sinopoli won the Most Outstanding Canadian over Westerman was kind of outrageous to be honest.

I agree iso. For me I think it was the culmination of not getting our royal blues and getting those monstrosities instead. lol What's interesting for me though, is now that we have the royal blue unis back, I am ok with anything for the 3rd jersey. I don't mind now if they try some new and crazy design schemes, because I'll always have the royals to go back to. So...go nuts Winnipeg Football Club.

Let's not get greedy iso. We've been clamoring for royal blue and gold for 2 decades and now Wade Miller and the Winnipeg Football Club have finally delivered. Let's take some time to just be happy we got our royals back, or at least be content. To be honest, the away jerseys are starting to grow on me. I think they are going to look very good on the TV screen. I'm also very glad they didn't go with blue pants. Sometimes I am quick to complain, so in this case I think I should give credit where credit is due. In my opinion Wade Miller gets an A+ for his efforts.

Thanks Bigblue204, the Free Press has a pretty good picture of both unis. I am happy. They went with the classic look and kept it clean. Great job by the Bombers!

Thanks Goalie, but I can't see twitter at work.

I can't see it... I tried to go to the live stream but it wouldn't load. I looked around the Bomber site, but I couldn't find anything. I went to CFL.ca and saw the home jerseys, but I have yet to see the away. Where do I go to see the "reveal" pictures?

You liked the yellow tiger on a yellow helmet? I personally think that the uniforms they had last year, when they went with black jersey and yellow pants, (I generally don't like all black uniforms.), was very sharp and one of the nicest I've seen from the TiCats in a while. Both the Argos and the TiCats went to a more simple, classic look the last time they did a change over and to be honest I was kind of jealous because that's what I wanted the Bombers to do. Hopefully now the rest of the league can be jealous of the Bombers for doing the same.

The only difference with the TiCat Jersey is that they added a stripe on the sleeve. I don't see the problem. Their jerseys last year were simple and clean and I liked them.

The math doesn't work for Obi Wan. He died in A New Hope. The Force Awakens is around 30 years after A New Hope. Rey was 20 years old in The Force Awakens. Keep in mind, JJ Abrams has a long history of deceiving his fans. He said it that way to throw off the fans.

Rey's parents is Jar Jar Binks. It's pretty obvious actually.

I really hope that the who ever wrote the article got it wrong on the pants. Let's leave the double blue for the Argos. It is kind of weird though, because when the Bombers first switched to navy blue in 1995 they also made the pants blue. 4 years later they switched back to gold pants. In my mind this team is blue and gold, I hope they don't mess with that.

To what are you referring White Out? I am not able to see all of the pictures in this thread, here at work. (I can see the small sample of the royal blue jersey.)

I said that I'd believe it when I saw it, in terms of the team going back to royal blue, and now I have seen it. I believe it and I love it! If they don't design some of the minor aspects of the jersey the same way that I would, that's cool with me. I'm just happy we got our royals back. Looks like I'm going to have to empty my can of loonies and other change, because I may have to buy one or two new jerseys for this season.

Hello folks, I was wondering if you fine folks could help me out. I will be joining a hockey pool for the play-offs and I need somewhere that shows me an up to date depth chart for each team. Last year I used, dailyfaceoff.com and although some teams were accurate, others were not. It kind of messed up my draft. So do any of you know a good place to find up to date depth charts? Thanks, Dascow.

Have you ever seen the Simpson's episode where Bart Simpson gets a "Big Brother" and then Homer Simpson is jealous so he goes down to the office to become a Big Brother himself? In that episode, the Big Brother representative asks Homer what his reason is for wanting to join Big Brother. His brain is telling him "don't say revenge, don't say revenge", but then inevitably he blurts out revenge, and it's at that point that his brain has had enough and leaves. The Big Brother rep checks off the box that says revenge and Homer is on his way. lol That's what this reminds me of. After reading everything on the website I get the impression that one of the main reasons this person wants to acquire a CFL team for St.Louis is to stick it to the NFL and take revenue away from the NFL. Obviously not the best reason to start up a franchise, but knowing the CFL, revenge might very well be a box on their check list. The reality though, is that a CFL team in St.Louis will do nothing to the NFL's bottom line.
