    I’m going to try and be self-aware with this because I know I prefer Schoen over Brady myself, but I did have a conversation with my dad the other day where he made a very good point: we’ve never played Schoenball in the 4th Q to seal a win. We’ve made a habit of playing Bradyball. That stuff does matter and I don’t think I had really considered that until he said it.

    I'd say your dad is far wiser than you.

    The Elks are no joke anymore. Any team that plays them better be ready to play their best game. Or they'll lose like the Riders did. 

    Ford is still a better runner than a passer but combined with Brown creates a deadly duo that is difficult to defend.   Genuinely concerned for the Bombers when they play the Elks in the coming weeks.

  3. Somewhat related to CFL country wide:  I was in the maritimes the last 8 days and specifically in Charlottetown, PEI looking to watch the Banjo Bowl.  Couldn’t find a place to watch it anywhere.  We were even directed to a video game arcade!  Went to a restaurant with an attached PUB but they were playing MLB.  We needed to eat and therestaurant had great food and nice staff but no CFL.

    I find this shameful,TBH. I wouldn’t waste a dime marketing the CFL in PEI.  Maybe we can kick them out of Confederation.

    Special teams were ****, the offense was ****, but the D was quite solid. 

    Honestly I don't think the wind was as significant as some people are making it out to be. Yes there were periods it was a factor (like a couple calgary kicks and throws) but for the Bombers it was mostly about calling a stupid game.  Calgary had no answer for the run game so of course they get brown to try throwing into coverage because they weren't even trying to go downfield at all. And don't get me started about putting prukop in notnonce but twice to put us in 2nd and long. 

    Just a stupid game. Brown really had no chance given what they were calling for plays. 

    Brown did look tentative to me, however your point is well taken with respect to play calling.  The first scoring drive was what I expected to see more of with maybe a few shots down the field.  Instead it was a lot of short passes to the wide side of the field hoping for a WR to break a tackle.  Quick passes more towards the middle of the field seemed effective early and then they just went away from it.  Have to give some credit to the Calgary D, however.
