October 9, 20169 yr Haven't heard it mentioned yet but Justin Medlock now has 48 field goals this year, breaking Troy Westwood's 1992 single season record of 47. And with 3 games left he needs 12 more to set a new CFL record.
October 9, 20169 yr definitely possible given he's had a few games with 7 FGs this year. Although for our sake I hope he doesn't get it lol
October 9, 20169 yr We have scored 29 more points than last year already with 3 games to go. Medlock a big part of that.
October 9, 20169 yr Congrats to Justin Medlock - glad he is a Blue Bomber. Even if he bounces the odd one off the upright, he has been integral to this team in 2016.
October 9, 20169 yr I don't know why I still hold my breath when we go for field goals, this guy has been money all year and worth every penny.

October 9, 20169 yr It's awesome to have consistency where we haven't had it for a very, very, very, long time.
October 9, 20169 yr The 2-3 (or more) games we didn't win last year, because of kicking, we are now winning because of Medlock, and the difference is huge.
October 10, 20169 yr yes imagine going through this year with Brett Maher or Tyler Crapigna as our kicker. We'd probably have three less wins right now.
October 10, 20169 yr Many thought the Bombers paid too much to sign Medlock this year, I'd happily contribute to his "gofundme" campaign to pay him more. He's been invaluable and best of all he could potentially play for another 6-8 years.
October 10, 20169 yr Worth every penny. One of the more important signings of the off season, for sure.
October 10, 20169 yr I've said it from the start. This was one of Winnipeg's BEST offseason moves. Medlock has been money his whole career. It's nearly an automatic three every time he kicks. We haven't this kind of consistency.. Well ever.

His reliability is also one of the reasons fakes like we saw yesterday can be so successful .. he's automatic. Trot him out there, even at 50+, and take the points .. it's what we've done all year.

Kyle cemented his job as our GM for years to come with this kind of move. Let's hope Medlock is our kicker for many Grey Cups to come.

One thing to keep in mind though is Paredes is 50-56 for FGs so he has the inside track for the season record. Interesting to note that although Paredes' FG percentage (50-56) his better than Madlock (48-56), Madlock is 27-27 for converts while Paredes is 27-34. Madlock is perfect for all his FGs inside the 40 (30-30).

October 11, 20169 yr Wait how does Paredes have more convert misses then field goal misses? Very strange

October 11, 20169 yr I expected Medlock to come in a hit FGs consistently. What I didn't realize was how strong a punter he is. Thought I read he's 2nd in the league in punts inside the 20... solid.
