Apparently we fell off hard from last year though

well to be realistic...to have maintained that...or be even better would have just not been fair hahaha...

We also played nearly twice as many games this year, which makes it tough to compare overall numbers.

5 NOTABLE NUMBERS FROM BOMBERS VS. LIONS

148.3: QB efficiency rating for Collaros in his five quarters of work against the Lions this year. Collaros played all of game one and went 23-of-30 for 288 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, dressed but did not play in the second matchup and then went 4-of-5 for 68 yards and two TDs in the first quarter of the final game.

A perfect rating, FYI, is 158.3

14-283-4: Dalton Schoen’s receiving totals in three games vs. the Lions – 14 receptions for 283 yards and four touchdowns. Schoen had at least 82 yards in each game, got a touchdown in each and averaged 20.2 yards per catch vs. B.C.

379: Yards rushing by the Blue Bombers in the three games vs. B.C. Winnipeg rushed for 141 yards in the first game, 74 in the second and 164 in the third. The 164-yard total was the highest rushing game for the Blue Bombers of the season while the 141 in the July win ranked as the club’s third-highest ground total.

41.1: The Lions finished second to the Blue Bombers in the CFL this year in second-down conversion rate at 50.3 (Winnipeg was 56.2). But in the three games against the Blue Bombers, they were just 6-of-16 (37.5%), 5-of-16 (31.3%) and 12-of-24 (50%).

66/36/31: In the one game this year in which both teams were healthy, and both had something at stake – the first meeting of the year – the Blue Bombers built a 21-0 lead before Nathan Rourke and his receiving corps found some traction. Rourke threw for TDs of 66, 36 and 31 yards – to Josh Pearson and twice to Dominique Rhymes – in what was a 43-22 Winnipeg victory.

So what you’re saying is we can pass and run effectively against BC’s defence?

now that would be a big bonus....i sure he be eased in possibly in WF...or is he slated right in?....but him added to Rose, Nichols, BA, Darby and Parker, with also Ford showing he is more than capable, and whomever the extra db will be...gives us some real nice depth/options....

Sorry, I would have responded to this earlier but I had to go chase those dang kids off my lawn.

I want to buy a scooter. And start swinging my cane at the young' ins when they get in the way.

Pretty crazy that we've got the second worst sack #'s in the league but basically lead every other category.

Not really - hurries and disrupted passing lanes are just as good. 

Rourke isn't a draw. Ratings down 27 percent from Last years west semi.

Why the CFL wants to compete with the NFL on Sundays during the playoffs make no sense. Plus not having the games on network tv like CTV really hurts. The goal should be maximum exposure for the CFL but I dunno the way this league is run.

No Riders in the WSF this year is the big difference in ratings.

and knock downs....tackles for loss on what would have been a sack...thats why a lot of times stats are misleading...case in point Sankey and Dean tackle numbers...

exactly....and why they dont have even half the games on the CTV network is baffling....it's not like the programming on there is must/have to see t.v

Games really should be on CTV as well as TSN.

I might be wrong but didn't they try Saturday for the playoff games about a decade ago and decide it did not work?

CBC did a good job with games
