Yup that shouldn’t be overlooked. No way of knowing of July 1 was the date this Happened without an actual investigation but it lined up with everything said so far.
Kavanaugh’s performance regardless of the allegations should disqualify him. Period.
Listening to these senators this morning, they continue to lie and twist the evidence. They are deathly afraid of s real investigation.
Clearly some of them have serious issues with women and believe that “boys will be boys” is perfectly reasonable.
Her problem is she was attacked. And when she reported that attack she was attacked again. And destroying Kavanaugh’s life actually means he continues working on the second highest court in the US making a lot of money.
There are a lot of pieces at play here. Trump has fully invested himself in Kavanaugh's appointment and, given Trump's abysmal history of having his appointees spectacularly imploding, his ego cannot take yet another disaster wherein his judgement is proven faulty. Moreover, the GOP is still trying to do damage control over the Russia investigation and failing at that as well. Mueller is edging ever closer to proving that Trump has been laundering money for the Russian mob for nearly 20 years. Plus, if Kavanaugh fails at the appointment with three for certain and possibly a fourth woman alleging sexual misconduct on his part, he tenure are a judge will come under examination and trigger a full FBI investigation, so who knows what that will dredge up?

One of the most interesting things that was quickly skipped over was when the female attorney hired by the GOP to grill Ford touched on a note in Kavanaugh's calendar dated July 1st. That date and the notation appeared to line up with the events reported by Ford and named Judge as present. As soon as Mitchell pointed out that date and was apparently going to ask Kavanaugh about it, the Republican members of the committee called a halt and fired Mitchell. Hm.....

That's not luck, that is random chance - a basic calculation of odds.
Winning the lottery three times - now that's luck.
For the winner(s), it is pretty much pure luck.

I am not angry, maybe a little bummed when I have to converse with rider fans but I definitely am not angry. It's sports, and then it's entertainment nothing more than that. I'm sure all the players are giving it 110% and want to win as much as we want them to win.
Obviously, you have not been watching Adarius Bowman the past few games. And to nit-pick, by definition it is impossible to give more than 100%.

Yup we scheme Reilly like we did with Manziel, forcing him to stay in the pocket. Contain, Contain, Contain. Unlike Manziel though, this game will be tougher on our coverage guys as Reilly can go through his reads much better than Manziel.
Not even close comparing Reilly vs Manziel. Reilly's rapport with his receivers is phenomenal.

You are correct, luck has nothing to do with any of these events. If football was broken down to it's minutiae of motion and forces no action would be found to be random, physics could explain every action of the ball completely. Without a detailed description or understanding of these forces people conveniently attribute these events to "luck" or "the hand of God", neither of which is real.
If you are interested in exploring the concept of luck vs non-local causality, you may wish to research the work of the late Princeton Physics prof Dr. Robert Jahn. His research produced strong evidence that consciousness mediates implicate matter and events.

Jones got rid of Durant first chance he got, nothing has changed. I'd go easy on the qb jokes, I've watched your guy play this year
And what does that have to do with us slagging Collaros and Bridge? Not that Nichols is the second coming of Doug Flutie, but he is still better than Collaros, as poorly as Nichols has been this year. The Riders are in playoff contention in spite of their quarterbacking, not because of it.

Oh....tell me some more.....AND he's not our problem...but apparently at one time he was yours and could be again if you re-sign him...Take him away Ripper..lol
I'm sure that Jones is fantasizing about next February when he can re-sign Durant. Right. Durant must be desperate to publicly kiss up to Jones in a faint hope of being invited back. On the other hand, if he was still there, he would be far and away the best quarterback there.

Winnipeg:
Edmonton - We lost to them by 3 with Streveler at the helm, they're also in free-fall lately (lost 3 of 4) ... no reason we can't take advantage here. (W)
Ottawa - This is the Jekyl/Hyde team this year - sometimes they look stellar, other times... not so much. Likely a loss though. (L)
Saskatchewan - These bums barely beat Toronto last night, and their offense is nonexistent... can't see us losing 3 to them, especially since it is at home. (W)
Calgary - Realistically Calgary will probably have locked up 1st in the West at this point, so we might luck out and play a game against their scrubs like last year. (W)
Edmonton - I like our chances at home, and if this game has any meaning, the fans will help keep the D amped up. (W)
Record: 10-8B.C.
Hamilton - They'll be ticked about blowing that late lead yesterday, also the Tabbies are at home. (L)
Toronto - BC probably has the edge here, realistically. Toronto's been pretty bad this year. (W)
Calgary - Calgary's is just too good, and they'll likely still be playing for something here. (L)
Edmonton - Spanked the Lions earlier in the year, though this is in BC and is the tiebreaker. (W)
Saskatchewan - This game is in Saskatchewan, and the Lions have been atrocious on the road. (L)
Calgary - Similar to our game against them, could be playing at home against Calgary's second stringers (W)
Record: 9-9I fully expect an incoming storm of anger and disgust relating to how this post is unrealistic and optimistic and how I have no idea what I'm talking about. As a fan, I welcome it and would like to point out that this is my casual, slightly-home-biased opinion. I would also like to point out I am entitled to it, just as much as the doom-and-gloomers on this site are entitled to theirs.
I am in awe of your optimism.

Does anyone here really believe our coaching staff should return if we miss the playoffs this season? 5 full years zero playoff wins and regressing?
Playoffs or bust as far as I'm concerned. No excuses.Bombers have to actually win a playoff game this year or else. I am not sure if even that is justification for retaining this sad lot of coaches.

...........No kidding June, we all feel like that..
The last few games for the Bombers and for the Lions.
At stake - the crossover for playoffs...and a few jobs.
Remaining games for both teams and possible outcomes: (my best guesses)
BC Lions 6-6
At Hamilton - loss 6-7
Toronto - win 7-7
At Calgary- loss 7-8
Edmonton- win 8-8
At Saskatchewan- loss 8-9
Calgary- loss 8-10
👁🗨 A lot depends on the play of Jennings. He played very well in a loss-turned-win in the last game.
Wpg. Blue Bombers 6-7
At Edmonton - win 7-7 we have to beat Edmonton once, might as well be the 1st game
At Ottawa- loss 7-8 although it depends on which Trevor Harris shows up.
Saskatchewan- win 8-8
Calgary - loss 8-9
At Edmonton- loss 8-10
👁🗨 Injuries recently sustained may determine our final positioning and the fate of out Coaching staff...
Edmonton holds the key for both the Lions and Bombers..
Despite the win against the hapless Larks, I cannot see the Bombers winning more than one, at most two, of the remaining games even if Harris and Demski are back in the lineup. After nearly 50 years of watching, wishing and hoping, I've seen enough to be realistically pessimistic about this year's edition. Our NI talent is very good and the whole team is better than it has shown, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts and its not all Nichols.

Its a little frustrating to have the best National content that we have had in at least a decade and to be so lacking on the other side.
Agreed. Considering the pool of football players being churned out in the US with a population of 330,000,000 logic says that it ought to be much easier to find import players than fish in the Canadian draft pool.

I know... I can't believe we lost to them
Bombers lost because they played like crap and have done so except for a couple of games. Riders have won because they have had games handed to them, save perhaps for the Calgary game. Good teams win consistently, bad teams find ways to lose. Apart from the likelihood of the Bombers missing the playoffs yet again, it really irks me that we are probably going to see the Riders do well enough that we will have to see Jones again next year.

I'd imagine he might be one of the 3 players of the week for his performance to be honest.. that punt to the 1, the 51 yarder..
Seeing him ragged on for 2 bad punts.. possibly his only 2 bad ones this year.. is laughable.
Agreed. Every player is going to have an off-play or off-day but Medlock has proven himself to be the best leg man in the league for years now. My only concern about him is that we need to start grooming a replacement.

I'd like to see Lapo and Hall gone. Right now I am worried that we fire MOS in November and make Lapo HC.
This is a more realistic scenario than I am comfortable thinking about.

in General Discussion
Kavanaugh was asked point-blank if he would support a full FBI investigation into the allegations against him, including the motivations of his accusers and he would not give a direct answer.
