It was not in  Jim Brown's time.
Which I was around for.

I'm really not loving this trend in social media to create hash tags out of every post.  #reallytiredofit #makeitstop

I voted "Yes" before reading the first post. I like the Chat for game day, but never go in there other than that. To me, if the new software or whatever, is in any way cost prohibitive, I wouldn't do it because 18 days out of 365 doesn't seem like enough to warrant it. 

If you want a pretty good and comprehensive break down of QB Matt Nichols. Just press on the arrows and follow the action..
 
 

R.C.A.F bomber crews were/are very well known for some of their missions/exploits in the AVRO Lancaster bomber!!!!  Definitely my choice ...and I even have a few hours flight time in one... that's how old I am!    Been a Bomber fan since 1953!

That was never ever flown by Canadians?  No thanks.

Lets look at Marcel's historical schemes and see where they ranked in the years he was an OC.
 
Sacks
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - His offence was the 2nd, 3rd, and 1st best at giving up the least amount of sacks (27,28,23)
 
2007 Montreal - Ranked last in the league (8th) with 68 sacks
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked last in the league (8th) with 67 sacks
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked last in the league (9th) with 71 sacks
 
Passing
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - He was consistently in the bottom half of the league in passing (7th, 6th, and 8th with 4054, 4619, and 4229 yards)
 
2007 Montreal - Even with Calvillo he ranked 4th in the league in passing with 5044 yards
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked last in the league (8th) with 4474 yards
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked 5th in the league with 4374 yards
 
Rushing
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - He was tops in the league in rushing each of those 3 years (2605, 2504, and 2436 yards)
 
2007 Montreal - Ranked 6th in the league with 1791 yards
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked 1st in the league with 2532 yards
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked 8th in the league with 1513 yards
 
Points Scored
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - He was in the bottom half of the league in points scored all 3 years (4th, 4th, and 8th for 470, 444, and 379 points)
 
2007 Montreal - Ranked 7th in the league with 362 points
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked 6th in the league with 408 points
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked 6th in the league with 397 points
 
Summary 
 
Other then his first 3 years in the league 10 - 15 years ago, his offence has consistently given up the most sacks in the league.
 
His passing offence has at best ranked in the middle of the league but that was with Calvillo at the helm, every other year has been pretty much bottom 3rd (or bottom half with Willy).
 
He has ranked 1st in rushing every year except with Montreal and Winnipeg
 
In points scored, his best seasons were 15 years ago when he was ranked about middle of the pack.  Every other year has been middle of the pack to bottom half of the league 
 
So in conclusion, Marcel is at best an average / middle of the pack OC whose offence seems to have more success with the run (except in Winnipeg).  His best passing years passing have been with Calvillo (4th best) and Willy (5th best)
 
Can't wait to see what Willy can do with a new offensive coordinator....

Very happy the marketing dept. is finally providing access to this type of material.  Kudos, kudos, kudos and please Sir, may I have some more!

I have caught practice nearly every day that I can during a quick bite.  I watch for maybe 30 minutes, but I can tell you, that if you're observant enough, there is A LOT that you can catch going on that I'm sure many would at least sit back say, "Interesting."
 
For example, who here knows that since Marve doesn't get very many reps in practice that he spends 20-30 minutes post practice, running roll-outs and tossing balls all over the field with Jhomo Gordon?  How about that we have had a half-dozen other guys taking turns kicking field goals?  Does anyone here even know now that Kohlert has practiced all week with the 1s?
 
There is a lot you can say in a couple of sentences to give people something other than "nice catch this, and bad drop that."

49th season opener....
Last time we won a game in Regina...
.....I could still remember everything...
Tonight, offense jelled...but defense was mostly Jello....
Easy to play O, when people actually block for the QB/RB's
Drew Willy took full advantage of the situation....
....with poise, good reads and a precise short passing game.....
...to the tune of 22 of 25 325 yds and 3 tds.
Outstanding game, from Paris Cotton....100+ rush yds....
...breaking tackles, and getting YAC in the passing game....
RB Marshall has some pretty good wiggle and speed....
....for a big power back.....with 2 TDs
That 2 back system looked real good today....
....and really provides more options....in the redzone...
KR Velting showed potential....had 65 yd return called back
Rough first half for Bryant.... but was very strong down the stretch...
Good game from J. Daniels on that right side....
Chung did not look out of place....in his debut...
Overall, huge passing grade, against vaunted Rider D-line
Moore had his first TD and a productive game....
Denmark still best receiver on the team....
Durant goes down with torn Achilles tendon...ending 1st half.....
Rider's questionable depth....tested early, with multiple injuries
For most part, Bombers controlled ball and clock, with their O...
But, DC Hall's tenure...off to shaky start......
Gap cancellation almost non-existent....on D
....as Bombers victimized by 3 long TD plays
...and a number of other big gains...
Soft coverages and lack of pressure up front.....
....completed the dismal picture...
Hurl was underwhelming at MLB.....
Big jump ball INT by Adams on goal-line.....
Parts of that game....turned into flag fest...
Riders had some problems understanding new illegal contact rules.....
Back and forth game......the Bomber O took...
....and the D gave back....until the last 2 minutes.....
Bombers then managed some stops....
....and gave Riders taste of own medicine....
...as they ran the clock out to seal the win.....
And that gin..... turned out nice again......

Please get there tomorrow This was a great analysis!
