July 22, 20187 yr 1 Harris. This might be the best stretch of his career. 2 mo. His best game since coming back huge difference maker in coverage. 3 the dl. Both lines played amazing. But the dl killed it in pressure and run stopping. Hh goes to Bryan Bennett for his hit on teams. Not every day a qb lays some one out.
July 23, 20187 yr I'm curious. Did we lose or win the game we played by ourselves? Edited July 23, 20187 yr by BaconNBigBlue
July 23, 20187 yr We are the only team not to have a bye week yet that’s why we have played six games.

Nobody has had 2 bye weeks yet, but BC will get their 2nd this week before Winnipeg gets their 1st next week. New this year is 3 bye weeks per team, so 2 weeks ago, 3 teams were off and that'll happen again in weeks 9 and 14.

July 23, 20187 yr They have yet to play anyone from the West even then they will probably only give up 15 points a game.
July 23, 20187 yr 4 teams have yet to play within their own division. Is it just me or is that insane? I understand the desire for late season battles but...

I prefer Winnipeg with the most points for. We've suffered through some anemic offensive outputs. A few years ago 353 points in 18 games, we're already at 199 through 6 this year. Not to take anything away from Calgary, I'm just happy to see a Winnipeg team that can put points on the board.

Not to mention that Calgary is 29.6 PPG and we're at 33.2. It's nice being the only team in the league to average over 30 a game. Despite our record (and the second half in BC), this year has gone better than I expected when Nichols went down.

Its kind of crazy we finish up with Toronto after seven games before we play Ottawa once, or that we play BC twice in a row before we play Calgary once.

I agree that the entertainment value of a great offense is awesome... but "defense wins championships" is the oldest cliche in the book... and it's still true today...

July 26, 20187 yr I thought 'not getting greedy and just settling for a field goal to tie the damn game' wins championships...
