I am not one to question who they put on the roster, but I'll make an exception for

Kelly. That guy should not be on the field.

Quote from: Jesse on August 10, 2025, 12:28:28 AMThe singles were absolutely the right choices. There was never room to run.

i need to see them again...cause i think he could have got to the 30.

Yup, this is a total dream game so far.  If we can legit beat CGY then we can legit beat SSK when we have to.

But he's a NAT backup FS!  He's basically the same as all other NAT FS (except Dequoy).

I think he's doing ok.  AS FS HE SHOULD NEVER BE ONE-ON-ONE (except maybe vs a RB!).  Scheme is the problem.

That happens when you let it go over your head, intentionally or otherwise. There is always room to run with a 5 yard halo, otherwise nobody would ever have any sort of return.

Read the article on 3downnation... it explains it better.

decent road half.  turning the ball over on downs was the low point...and the bomb TD

TOP 18-11 (ish).  CGY brought it a lot closer in the 2nd Q.  However, it's enough that if we pound them in the 2nd H we should start getting to bully ball time.

Anyone interested in gambling, CGY will still give you about 2 to 1 payout right now.  Remember, they were massive favorites going in to KO.

It's a good thing Dustin comments on the Bombers success because all I ever hear from Suitor is how great Calgary players are. When he says something about a Bomber, like he did with Willie, it's how other teams fail to play him properly when he makes a play. I'm tempted to file a formal complaint to the CFL about Suitor.
Go Bombers!

VAJ has 108 yards passing and 78 came on the bad coverage that went for a TD. I was already going to be annoyed if they converted the 2nd and 10 let alone a blown coverage for a TD.

If you want to get tackled at your 5 yard line, sure.

Both kicks went into the endzone. It would have been a terrible idea to try and make a play on either.
My wife is amazing!

That was more on the pressure imo. We sent everyone and did not even hurry him.

The problem with our team is they very seldom use all there receivers. how many times have they hit the speed guys in this game so far?
