    If it's the Riders, then no, no its not.  It will in fact be one of the greatest events in CFL history  and I pray there will be a commemorative plaque made to honour it because I'll buy two.

    I will take your thoughtful plan for twin plaques;....cut a bum-size hole in one....paint them bile green....attach them together with bailing wire ....and use them as a turlet seat for my Uncle Jebediah's outhouse.

  6. MOP award

    It's actually interesting to put Matt Nichols up against other former Blue Bomber QB's who won or were runner ups for MOP award. As it stands now Matt Nichols is on pace for 5322 yards, 36 TDs, and 10 INT's ( actually 9.69 but rounding up) while completing over 70 percent of his passes.. We should also win about 13,14 wins this season. I think he actually blows 2007 KG out of the water and has the advantage over Khari Jones in 2001. Heres why.

    1) 2007 Kevin Glenn went 10-7-1 as a starter good enough for first in the East. It was a great season for the Bombers after going through a crappy 2004,2005 seasons. Glenn ended up with 5117 yards, 26 TD's, and 13 INT while completing 62.5 percent of his passing. We also had a great receiving core at the time that consisted of prime Derrick Armstrong, a young Terrence Edwards, and one of the GOATs of all time Milt Stegall, not to mention a prime Charles Roberts on the ground. All the above players mentioned were league all stars and plenty of credit to Glenn for spreading the ball around but statistically Nichols already has the same amount of passing TD's as Glenn did, will most certain finish with less INT's and is on pace to throw for more yards.. 

    2) 2001 Khari Jones wasn't even his best season. That was 2002 where he threw for an incredible 46 TD passes but milt had the best receiving season of all time and took MOP award. Most people hold that 2001 team fairly fondly in their heart I was only 10 years old at the time but after a crappy late 90's run suddenly we were the best team in the league and it was exciting to be a Bombers fan.. I think the one argument Khari has which I've seen people saying for Bo was that he was on the best team in the league. The Bombers were the class of the league but I could see Winnipeg winning 13,14 games this year.. It's certainly not out of  reach at this point. But if we compare stats Khari's 2001 season consisted of 4545 yards, 30 TD passes and 23 INT, with a 60.3 percent passing completion. He also had prime Stegall, Bobby Gorgeous, and a young Charles Roberts. Obviously the game has changed in 16 years but Nichols will have Khari beat in every category except for possible regular season wins.. Also Nichols certainly does have a great o line.. A lot better then our 2001 team, and a slight edge over our 2007 team, Nichols also has a better running game then Jones had in 2001, but Roberts was still great in 2007.. The biggest difference really being the receiving core.. It was much better in 2001, and 2007. Anyways just my break down and my opinion compared to other  great Bomber QB seasons!  

    Nice research Arnie

    I've tried to pay closer attention to when Hurl is on the field and not. Seems like he's off the field a lot more recently. I think Briggs might be coming in more often for him on passing downs. We seemed to be rotating linebackers a bit against Edmonton, but maybe I'm just noticing it more or we're just shifting out LBs for DBs.

    It's impossible to keep track of all the rotations that take place during a game. In a fantasy world, I would be able to see the percentage of non special team snaps each player takes, and which position they play when they do.

    Briggs and Neuf immediately come to mind.

    Our coach actually said that about Carmichael? Really? Or is that fake news?

    Rod Hill WAS the greatest defensive back not only in Bomber history but IMHO in league history. He was so good that when we had him and Less Browne (leagues all-time INT leader) at the same time QB's would throw to Browne's side instead of Hill's side. Wow, that was a defense!

    I saw Hill at Duckworth today...working the room.

    Looks like he could still strap them on.

    Deciding to re-sign him at what he may want is what I was referring to as a possible offseason big issue ...

    If he's not under contract for next year, and since there will be little other competition for him at the current rate, he either takes a haircut or moves on to life after football.

    Maybe they meet in an area of mutual agreement, where  Bombers sign him to a Fantuz-like, coaches contract. The thinking being, that they can activate him on a player's contract if needed due to injury?

    To me, the BB hold all the cards on this one.

    Not at  all personal. I'm just saying that sometimes change is difficult to deal with, and it's important in those moments to truly examine why we feel the way we do. This is more philosophical than I really intended for a football forum, but the point is that all major social change comes about as a result of small cases like this one. Women have traditionally been under-represented in sports and it would be good for this to change. Basically, all I'm saying is that it's important to examine one's personal biases and I hope that you are doing this.

    did you also tie onions on your belts?  It was the style at the time.

    Three tips on:  Onions as Adornments

    1) Rather than hanging on the belt,  I have found that wearing the onions inside my briefs really has a way of attracting the fairer sex. 

    2) I've also learned the hard way, that the onions should be concealed in the front of the undergarment and not the back.

    3) It helps if they are roughly the same size.

    I watched the game...  Tate held onto the ball long on a few plays,   tossed in double coverage,   and made a few nice plays.     I was not impressed  or scared,  he seemed to like to throw rainbows across the field.   Definitely a step down from Harris that's for sure.   Ottawa just seemed to be completely disinterested until the 2nd half started when the D stepped up and started rushing Masoli. 

    Hamilton looked good in the first quarter and hot garbage for the rest of the game.   Masoli is absolutely terrible if any defenders rush him,   I'd say if we have any pressure on him and can contain him that our defense would get a tonne of ints.  

     

     

    See last year's late late game for evidence. Masoli was putrid, against us, and that was after shooting the lights out the week prior.
