Week 5 Takeaways

In b4 a certain TiCats fan plagiarizes this again lol

But let's get to it

1. Willie Jefferson was really onto something when he brought up the smoke thing, cuz there was a ton of it this last Friday, and IGF was rocking

2. BC has to be the most excruciating team to watch on national TV.  Man, just all around raddy and awful the way they got things on the sideline and field.  Lions fans, I'm sorry but I don't think it's going to get better any time real soon.

3. Edmonton is the league's win but without excitement team

4. Toronto is still in the cellar, but hey at least they finally figured out how to throw to D. Walker, they should try it more

5. Ottawa is still 2-2, but Dom Davis and Chris Randle are headed for trouble if they don't get it straightened out.  Almost Jonathon Jennings time

6. Montreal is the dark horse who you had better not diss.  Bombers had better be careful not to get caught in a trap game when we go to their house.  2-2 and getting better.

7. The Nick Arbuckle train got derailed as did the Roberson one.  Stampeder fan nation in a meltdown.

8. Despite the incompetence of Masoli and Hajrallahu, the TiCats showed why you shouldn't say they're done based on one fluke Stanback game.  Best in the East by far still.  Good thing Jamie Nye the not so science guy wasn't able to jinx this one.

9. The Riders were off thank god

  • Whitehead slowing down almost to a complete stop at about the 10 yard line, and then going 0-60 to get to the endzone was something very very special to watch...

  • Bombers - Beating up bad teams + Edmonton Ticats - Beating up bad teams + Calgary Eskimos - Beating up bad teams only Stamps - Getting better, but not there yet Als - Surprisingly

  • Make your argument for the contrary in a civil meaningful way. If can’t accept that agree to disagree. i present as an example the recent Premiers Conference. The Prime Minister of  Quebec doesn’

Disagree with your assessment of Arbuckle. He played well & his receivers did not. So many dropped passes & fumbles. Special teams cover teams were awful. Arbuckle played well enough to win. Other areas of concern on that team.

Well certainly not my concern.  Let em keep tanking I say and let the Arbuckle train go off the rails.  It's the Bombers time.

Oh FFS. You're clueless. Check out his QB Rating. Then check out Nichols. As you don't know, the QB Ratings takes his entire performance into consideration. So, his passing stats & wins. You sound more & more stupid with every post you make.

Dude chill, I'm pretty sure he was making a bit of a joke about it.  Of course Davis is not a better QB and we all know this.

Arbuckle is a good one. Of all the new qbs that have burst upon the scene, he has the chance to be the best as he's the product of the QB Machine in Calgary.

I only posted a fact.  I never made any claims.  You can stop with rude comments.

No, he wasn't. That's Skunk. As a fan, he stinks as bad as Davis is a qb.

What fact? Cherry picking stats??? We've already seen that yardage isn't the be all or end all. Why not mention his TD to intercept numbers. His QB Efficiency? His won-lost record?? Because you have no clue.

They are not... No question. 

This. I don't know what team people are watching. But I'm seeing a decent offense that sputters more often then not and a defence that can not stop anyone but the riders. They are pretenders. Coaching will get them above 500 but right now they are easily 3rd in the west, and 5th overall.

You really gotta chill and relax dude.  All I did was post what's on the cfl stat page.... which was funny.  Matt has 4 wins Dom has 2 so naturally it was funny to see that.  Really though relax because I would hate if you never made it to the end of the season..    thus missing a bomber grey cup win. 

Nichols QB Efficiency is 126.0 while Davis is 75.1. Nichols has completed 69.4% of his passes to Davis 66.0. The passing stats are set up by passing yard totals but not who is the fourth best or 6th  best qb in the CFL.  Skunk seriously saying Nichols as Number 6 is ludicrous.

Well, says the guy who ******* on every thread & every post about Nichols & never stops. Look in the mirror. You can't even interpret the stats right. You are a clown.

I never put him in the 6th spot on that list.... the cfl did.  Go post yer issues with it to them lol.

All I did was notice a 4 and a 6 place for the two players.  

If they used QB Efficiency then he'd be Number 1. They used passing yards instead.

think the CFL took holding out of the rulebook and just didn't announce it.

They screwed up so many games in the past with constant holding penalties,  they  took  a look at it, and decided ..... I know!  why don't we just stop calling holding!

D lineman were actually getting tackled right beside ref, no call. 🍰

No you didnt, You posted what you thought you saw. And you don’t even watch the Bombers. 

BC...a bunch of individuals, team is a  disaster

Cal...so used to them dominating, they are still good they are playing with a B/U QB but holes showing

Edm...they are a good team, still take a ton of penalties, but a good team

Sask...no Jones has left them without an identity, can they find one and can the find it in time

Wpg...all 3 phases showing they are good, but yet to play a full game

T.O...who is worse BC or T.O, MBT is looking decent and Walker is still one of the best, is it enough..when do they play BC

Mtrl...when you look at their roster it is actually decent, not surprised they strung together a couple wins

Hammy...lot's of big play on this team

Ott...with the amount of roster turn-over and talent lost can you expect anything other than a few struggles, well coached and can still make some noise

Side notes...Speedy B, and Lucky are simply put freaks of nature....what could have been in Roberts kept himself in shape...

Which reflects what I said. He’s incapable. He doesn’t even watch the games. 

Well, I sometimes wonder if Marshall Ferguson watches the games either given the goofy setup he has for his QB accuracy chart.

 Marshall Ferguson, sorry your over my head. This was not just one misstep, goof up, or mistake. It’s enduring. Ill will comes to mind. Vile accusations in babble ice the cake. This ? Doesn’t even watch games.

I don't suppose there is any word on BLM's injury but I expect the team will regain form once he finally returns.  With their poor start there is little chance they will be able to catch the Bombers in the standings, it's super important the Bombers kick their butts as well as the Esks. head to head and in the playoffs establishing dominance, if they can accomplish these goals throughout the season, taking the G.C. should be a cake-walk.

Well, the Bombers are 4-0, CAL is 2-2, they put Mitchell on the 6-game IR beginning with their game against SSK, looking ahead, that would mean he'd be eligible to return for their week 10 match up against the Als (assuming he sits a full 6 games on IR). So, they're currently 2 games back of us, but play us three times, 4 wins to start the year is fantastic, but teams have dug themselves out of much bigger holes, and they're actually still in a playoff spot as of right now (3rd in the West)

Also, Grey Cups are never a cake walk, just ask the 2001 Bombers...

C'mon now... everyone who peruses this site knows the single most important stat to judge a QB by is passing yards... it's even what the CFL QB stats page sorts to by default!

Well yeah. Of course. Without regard to games played, recent chart updates, all very confusing stuff! It’s bloody hard!

Does defending Skunkie’s stance make you feel ... I don’t know? “Icky” ?

I agree with you and was going to take up the cause but I didn’t an extra beverage first and by then had seen you were on it. 

@speedflex27 you lose any and all credibility when you have to resort to name calling. There really is no need to that.
