Cheeky but even as 2x defending champs with a 6-0 record im still gun shy about being cocky .

I would argue the first one is a little too late.... the team could really use a week off right about now... but yeah not having week 1 bye or the last week is definitely a plus Wideleft, Geebrr, voodoochylde and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very happy when we signed him, he was a guy I wanted forever, and I thought his chemistry with Collaros would be a huge bonus but even I didn’t expect this level of dominance, very satisfied with our receiving core right now, it might be the best one we’ve had here since the early 2000’s.

Total opposite for me. Outside of his first couple of years he was never someone I worried about playing and felt his throw happy offences padded his stats. He has been great for us.

Kenny who? JK...Lawler is awesome,, but it seems pretty obvious by the numbers this year that Ellingson is a more than capable replacement. 53 minutes ago, Geebrr said: Total opposite for me.

Always has. Like you I never really noticed him because he's not a flashy big play guy. Just quietly racks up the receptions and moves the sticks. Always knew he had great hands, but never realized how much he gets targeted. (looking at past stats) Edited July 19, 2022 by GCn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game against Ottawa where he made circus catch after circus catch to keep Ottawa in it, including a touchdown and a two point convert to tie it late, I think we eventually won it in over time but he’s burned us on more then one occasion, really glad he’s part of the good guys now.

You should definitely not be cocky. That 6-0 record is gaudy but CFL history is littered with great regular seasons that went bust. Right now we are one-dimensional on O .... no one can stop Collaros. If someone figures out how to do that, or the weather kicks in, or god forbid (i'm not even going to say it, it would be so devastating) we are hooped.

I was at that game and it seemed then that the Bombers always lost when I attended. We lost 44-21. Trevor Harris went 29/39 for 361. Powell rushed for over 100 and Ellingson caught 8 for 100 yds.

August 17, 2018. https://www.footballdb.com/games/boxscore/ottawa-redblacks-vs-winnipeg-blue-bombers-2018081701 I must be getting my memories mixed up but the particular game I was thinking of was against Ottawa the same season in October we won 40-32 in over time but Ellington had the touchdown and 2 point convert to tie it late before we eventually won in over time. But that goes to show how good He is we can’t even pin point the exact game in the same season! Wideleft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Zanetti Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Apparently we tried hard to sign him when he was a FA but he ended up going to Edmonton(probably due to Harris signing there also). Man if we would have gotten him back in 2019 we could be back-to-back Grey Cup champs right now.......

We have had a number of import receivers that didn’t work out. Just yesterday I was thinking about that guy that was given a free truck with his name all over it. Nick Moore he was promising. A kind of disappointment. He went back to BC after being on our squad for two seasons. Finished the 2017 season in week 4 celebrating a TD and tearing an ACL in the process. Being nicked his career was No Moore. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
