Not sure why anyone is against the idea of keeping them around. We know they both took over a crappy roster that couldn't be expected to win a lot of games. The whole reason we hired a guy like MOS as a first time coach was to get our hooks into him because of his long term potential, not because he was already a great head coach. Why would you not extend him when he's a much better coach now than when he was hired, which was basically the plan.
Start of the year I think a lot of people were hoping for an 8-10 win season, and expecting less from years of disappointment. We're sitting 8-4, and the schedule gets tough from here on out. But I think Walters has exceeded expectations for a rookie GM (especially a younger one who hasn't had decades of experience as an AGM or similiar), and MOS is becoming the coach we thought he could when we hired him, so why suffer through the growing pains to let someone else get that benefit.
Sign them up, let them do what they've been doing. It's harder than anyone is mentioning to stick to the long term plan when everyone wants immediate results. The team is finally starting to see results from the plan these guys put in play and have stuck to. Unless we'd rather bring back Mike Kelly and Brendan Taman to run the team......

I haven't decided if I'm driving down yet. The games I've gone to there have been decent, but the stadium isn't great. The Banjo Bowl was a great reminder of why I like IGF, fantastic leg room for a tall guy, and why when I'm in Winnipeg I turn down free Jets tickets (horrible leg room in MTS centre).

Blah. I don't like the lack of height in our receiving core, but despite his big game I'd still rather see Mcduffie sit than Clarence.
I'll still be wearing my Denmark jersey and hoping he's in the game. He's the type of guy who could have a big game while the D puts more focus on Smith/Dressler.

work unfortunately!
I'm actually on-location at a business right up till kick off. I've been meaning to ask about that NewLeaf airline, tho...anyone use that before? Flights only go Thurs/Sun, but man are they cheap....
I'm flying westjet round trip for $198, two trips in September, that pricing out of Edmonton looks pretty common in October too. Lowest I've ever seen.

Amazing. Would give anything to come home for that. Gonna sound ridiculous on TV, tho, I'll bet...can't wait.
You're in Calgary correct? Go book flights right now, round trip Edmonton to Winnipeg. Find a way to Edmonton bright and early Saturday morning, hit a 9am direct flight to Winnipeg. Sunday morning 6:25am flight back to Edmonton via Calgary, and as long as you didn't have to leave a car in Edmonton just end your flight in Calgary (it's cheaper than booking just Winnipeg to Calgary for whatever reason). You'll have your flights for $219, small price to pay.
I got mine round trip from Edmonton, direct flights both ways for $198.

Sure there are things to improve on, but it's a long weekend, the bombers won in Regina, the bombers have won multiple games in a row. I know people around here don't know how to do this, but try enjoy it. I'm on a 6am flight next Saturday for no other reason than to watch the Banjo Bowl in person, and whether it's by 3 or 30 I'll enjoy a Bomber win over the Riders.

1 medlock gaming winning fg from beyond 40 as the clock runs out.
my favorite part of having Medlock is that there's so little worry when he goes back for a big kick. I can't remember the last time the bombers had a kicker where it wasn't gut wrenching to have to kick anything over 30 in a clutch situation. When Harris went down on the last play, I counted the game as won from that range before Medlock even kicked.

It's how it works in the NHL as well. Chicago towards the end of this last season was looking at Panarin earning big bonus', and any amount that puts them over the current seasons cap is reduced from the following seasons cap, which in the NHL they have to be compliant with to start the next season. Like others, have no idea how this plays out in the CFL

due to the weather delay my pvr recording ended with 17 seconds on the clock, and my reaction was but i need to see how we blew this in the last 17 seconds.

thanks for the clarification. I may have missed them talking about it, I got home an hour into the game was was skipping time between plays and all of half time, got caught up to the live feed by the 4th quarter.

Don't quote me but I believe that was made allowable a few years ago.
I know they changed it at one point to specify you could come back in if pushed out, but not if you went out on your own. I don't follow all the rule changes closely, so it's possible it was changed again

on the topic of calls that may not be correct -and I haven't gone back to watch this again- early in the game, the fumble recovered by (I believe) Wild, should that not have been illegal participation? I thought he went out of bounds and came back in to recover it

*edit* point was already mentioned but i missed it

back to back wins? I would like 1 win please. No need to be greedy

Ottawa has a nice stadium, and great environment in the area before the game. Really enjoyed the game I went to there. Haven't bothered looking much at what the riders are doing so won't compare, but I liked the stadium in Ottawa.

The funny thing is that over on the Stamps forum, they're bemoaning their team too.
I did not know this but apparently Dave Dickenson isn't very highly regarded as a coach in Calgary.
When I was watching the bombers lose in Calgary last year I heard nothing but positive things about Dickenson from fans there

. We've only made the playoffs once since 2008.
I've lived in a city with the Edmonton Oilers since 2009, and am a Bombers fan, I'm not familiar with what playoffs are.

The win streak is 7 games. Only two other teams have 7 wins for the season. A win is a win. It's also hard to swallow using not playing Heath as an indictment of the coach when he's been on the team for less than a week
