Quote from: Jesse on Today at 01:59:14 AMIf that's what the record is, then that's what it is.

But saying it's a consecutive games with a reception record when there are games that occurred in which he did not record a reception is absolutely nonsensical to me.

if you don't play you can't record stats like a catch. it's catches in consecutive games played.

it was dumb to try and not get him a catch. i am sure Demski is a little upset.

Being available to play is part of any record.

Ya, but that kind of begs the question. What you're saying is let's track a whole new useless stat. And that's fine, I wouldn't be against it. Now convince TSN/CFL.

Related: what REC has the most consecutive starts, where injury-missed-games end the streak? It's probably a low number.

I don't think it's a whole new stat. I thinks it's what the definition of consecutive games with a catch should be.

I don't know, they often say in pressers they don't track or care about any of that stuff. Who knows if they're lying.

You just know the Sun guy will ask Demski in a presser this week! I guess it's a good thing Demski wasn't our top REC today, and thus won't be getting any post-game presser.

How close was Demski to beating the #1 all-time? If he wasn't even close, then who really cares. If he was 3 games away from being the best ever, ya, that would be upsetting.

Like who cares about some stupid record?? You're a receiver, you should have a catch in every game you play , it's part of your job!! Still why not do a bubble screen or something to keep him happy? Mind you with streveler that's a 50/50 chance it's incomplete anyways!!

Sir Blue and Gold · **Today** at 02:28:02 AM

If it doesn't count if you're hurt it also shouldn't count if your quarterback is a linebacker and your offensive coordinator called 35 straight a gap runs on first down?

That's why Zach always does that little Demski fly sweep underhand toss of all of 1 foot in the air.

Hmm, I wonder then how much of that streak was on Zach doing it for Demski rather than our OC?? What if all this time the Demski sweep call was a hand-off and not a 1' "pass" and it was Zach making it a toss?

And yes, even Strev can make that 1' pass without an INT. LOL.

I think they all just forgot or thought the earlier non-pass counted. I mean, they had to know with 2 mins left up 15 they were going to go prevent-D and not see the ball again...

As for "who cares", it's done purely for the fans. TSN (and all football leagues) just love their little stats & numbers. It adds fan interest, especially when the game themselves are boring, like this week.

What I find odd is no one @TSN figured this out during the game to mention it? That would at least give them a talking point in an otherwise lame game.

Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 01:11:14 AMThat was the worst performance by a Bomber QB I can remember. Take off the Blue and Gold glasses. Nothing is disrespectful about judging a players performance and pathetic. We won i spite of him.

Blueforlife send me 2 messages stating I took a shot at Stre comparing him to your grandson Double down on being wrong Go tell Strev on Saturday that your grandson can throw a better 10 yard pass Let me know Strevs response Your post wasn't fair and its disrespectful to Strev You don't like be challenged on your position

Can't take the heat Get out of the kitchen Do a spicy post and people will comment

Now who is being disrespecful in sending me these 2 messages? Unbelievable IMO

This gets my vote! Carve-out for incompetent OC scheme.

dd · **Today** at 02:43:47 AM

It's pretty sad when your OC has to come up with a game plan that doesn't feature passing the ball at all because your Qb can't pass!! But we pulled a rabbit out of a hat with that game, Vaval scoring a ST TD and Cam Allen picking off 2 passes, big big effort from D and St, because our O was very Pop Warner and basic, in fact it wasn't even pop Warner as they have a pass rule you have to pass 1 in every 4 plays, strev would be dead in today's youth league!

But seriously, hats off to the BB for pulling off a very unconventional win, that's 2 now with strev starting. It was only Ottawa but heck our playoff lives are still alive for another week

Let's hand if to our OL on run block. Many times during the game everyone knew we were going to run and we still managed to run. Yes, Brady got many 2Y stuffs, but he also got quite a few 5 & 6 & 10ers. And again, everyone knew we were running on 1st (and probably 2nd).

Doubly so at the end of the game. The hoggies got Brady near a 10Y average on that last drive even though the D *knew* we were going run-only.

So maybe this is one of the solutions to our crap pass pro. No pass, no need for pro.

Make a good point
OL can't pass protect so don't bother
The run offense was good against an Ottawa club that is good against the run
Running the ball successfully when the world knows you will is a pillar of strength for any club and a sure way to secure victory
The best at it in our generation was Pringle and Mtl. Harris a very close 2nd. BBB building his case to challenge those greats imo.

Quote from: TecnoGenius on Today at 12:03:41 AMBut then it wouldn't have worked. Everyone expects the Demski sweep because we run it a lot. No one expects the any-other-REC sweep, because we use it rarely.

Agree excellent play call
