Yeah Argo teams and defense are far bigger worries than their offense.

Especially with our propensity for giving up huge yards on kick covers and Zach's brain farts turning the ball over....

I would love nothing more than to get into an offensive shootout if we have to play TO. We win that 98 times out of a 100.

11 All Stars for the WBB:

 

 

All star Houston not likely to even play in playoffs.

Lazy journalists. 

 

I'm surprised that Kolankowski is not an all-star. Hodges must be spitting mad.

This gets a bit of a 'yes but'.

When we take care of business at the WF and if TO makes it thru, I'm hoping we can control the line of scrimmage limiting AJO's production so play action means nothing for them.

Can't believe they snubbed The Seal. 😞

Awesome. 2 of my UND guys. Love to see it.

Just wait until Dinwiddie wins coach of the year and goes on a 10 minute rant about roster management during his acceptance speech! 😂

This is exactly why he wins COTY.

Nichols not being an all-star is a joke.
No slight, but there’s no universe in which TJ Lee is the better player

watch him get chosen for a League All-Star and the players voted one as well

IIRC if you aren’t a division all star, you can’t be a league all star.

I thought in the past thre have been guys who didnt get the divisional but got the league?...could be wrong...

I think CFLPA all star awards are more prestigious anyhow. Voted on by players of opposing positions, DBs voted on by WRs and vice-versa, and so on, and no votes for your own teammates. Still going to be an element of popularity but who knows better than the players?

Holm over Nichols?

No, you have to be a divisional all star first before you can be All CFL. Is there still the All Canadian Team?

4 TD's from punt returns & 6 from interceptions.  The Bombers only had 3 that didn't come from the offence (1 punt return, 1 interception & one fumble recovery).

it's too bad I can specifically remember our three non-offense touchdowns... Grant vs Sask, Houston vs Cgy, and Biggie vs Edm... would prefer to have so many, I can't possibly remember them all

I think Nichols had more...he did at one point...not to poo poo on all hour Holm luvin but no way he should be ahead of Nichols considering his physicality and ability to run stuff better and tackle.

The dense media in Canada just ran and slurped up Osh's early in the season quick feet yip yappin

 

Pretty good article in the Sun today about Hardrick. 'Football saved my life': Bombers' Jermarcus Hardrick not too tough for tears (msn.com)

so FWIW, both Dave Naylor and Marshall Ferguson have publicly said Brady O should win the MOP over Chad Kelly. Not sure if that means anything, but it's interesting that there is some national media sentiment in Brady's favour, which is surprising to me.... maybe there's a chance they actually get this right? 

If he was an Import back....I think they would have excluded him...Being a Canadian...with the 2nd best all time yardage total...I believe many see the reasoning an will get it correct

That being said...even if he was an American, he has the better, more impact and consistent season regardless, and if snubbed that be pretty sad
