He's made a career out of making insults and belittling pass for criticism and disappointment. Friesen = paid but amateur troll.

Anything that puts the game in a more unpredictable environment would benefit the underdog. **** that ****, I don't want to sit in the cold assed rain in Calgary, and in September it's just as likely to be snow as it is rain. Give me a sunny fall afternoon and may the better team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Got a feeling they are going to try to pound the ball with Flanders all day. Which means keeping it close not getting into a big deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was 2006. Kevin Glenn just decided he wanted to get the game over with as fast as possible, because you know, it was cold and everything, so he went into chuck and duck 2 and out mode. What a miserable experience that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Quote The Bombers' seven straight wins have come against mediocre or downright bad competition: the opposing teams have a combined winning percentage of .350. Calgary's is .875. This is another animal, entirely. This is from Friesen's article. I love statistics, you can manipulate them any way you want. The combined winning percentage of the teams they faced is low, but a lot of that is due to the fact that they played Saskatchewan twice. And Sask played extremely hard in both of those games. I honestly don't give the Bombers much hope in this game given the history and how good Calgary is, but using these kinds of stats to sell the narrative is dishonest, disrespectful and just plain bad journalism. Shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingin Sammy Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) 3 hours ago, sweep the leg said: I assume Hurl is the other scratch? That's what I thought...he hasn't practised in 3 weeks or so...but CJOB reported the following: 4h680 CJOB Sports @CJOBSports Harris/McDuffie on #CFL #Bombers depth chart vs @calstampeders , Neither are expected to play. Eric Martin replaces Justin Cole at DE I heard Jeff Hamilton on 1290 this morning say that Harris didn't get on the plane with the team...he's back here in Winnipeg. So Harris and 1 International, [we can only have 20 Ints on 44 man game-day roster(not including QBs) and we currently have 21 Ints on the depth chart] McDuffie or Knox...wow...they're keeping us guessing this week...I'm guessing McDuffie sits...I don't think Hurl is healthy enough to step in and help out the LB corps...he'll dress but I don't think we'll see him all that much...kind of like the approach we took with Thomas last week.

Why do I see this popping up in a future thread about "you're not a true fan if....." New benchmark for true fandom set. Better get on it, 17 and Noeller. Perhaps a day trip to Kansas to expedite the process. Or are you not true fans??????? Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
