The OL hasn't been a problem... yet. The injuries haven't either. Beat Hammy worse than we did. 2. Bombers: Haven't played a top half team yet. Our DL and OL are top units. Our kicking is still in flux. 3. Als: Only 1 game against a bottom level team, but looked great for the first game in forever. 4. Argos: 1 and 1 against Wpg and Cgy. Vet laden team with below average QB's. I expect them to drop next week. 5. Lions: Reilly is the difference maker and their coaching and D are way better this year. 6. redblacks: Got a win. 7. Ticats: Played the top 2 teams and lost both. Banks hasn't been the difference maker he was. 8. Stamps: BLM has been bad which makes the team bad. 9. Elks: Couldn't even beat Ottawa. Ah yes. I remember this old argument. ”haven’t beaten anybody good yet”, yet you don’t mention that for the Riders despite one common opponent and a win over (in your own quoted opinion) a lesser opponent than who we beat.

bearpants Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Have you guys not noticed this Bomber team is better when they are counted out... My hope is that the bombers are never first in the meaningless power rankings... and are first place at the end of the season... just like 2019 Starman115, IC Khari, rebusrankin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 I don't know what people have been watching if you don't think TO is a good team. They're solid on both sides of the ball. I expect a much closer game this week between them and the Bombers. Piggy 1, Mark H., Mark F and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ****** that's a dumb ******* comment and you know it. Couple glorified Preseason games and we already know top half vs. Bottom half.

They beat a more depleted team than we faced, and comparing different games and who beat whom by what isn't a true indicator of anything, too many factors involved, and anyone who has played a level higher than JC or College would know that 1 hour ago, Bigblue204 said: I don't know what people have been watching if you don't think TO is a good team.

Glad fmb is getting another chance. We beat 2 top half teams. We knocked the cats down several pegs that's better than beating a top team. Idk how people see the carcass that went to ssk as the same group that we beat. They went from super confident about to avenge the Grey Cup unbeatable monster super team to tame ole puddy tats. We didn't just beat them We broke them. Edited August 16, 2021 by wbbfan Wanna-B-Fanboy, BigBlueFanatic and M.O.A.B. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes then no need to proceed any further- that is your #1 unbeaten team that takes top spot. If no, proceed to #2 #2. Is one of the team teh riders?

Sure, one could do that or one could know that games vs. common opponents are not a good indicator because things change, motivations change, a team's psyche can change, from week to week and learn to use a football educated eyeball test instead and pick the Bombers because they are simply the better looking football team right now.

Noeller Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 All I'm hearing from Terry is that we softened the Tabbies up for the Riders. Beat the will to fight out of them....so it was a gimme for the Riders. Figures....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
