2019 CFL season

9/9, with some difficult throws in there. 1 TD, 1 2 pt conversion pass, 1 running TD.

Came in down 11 after the 3 minute warning.

Eric Rogers too. 3TDs and 2 2 point conversions, and the onside recovery. HUGE game.

[Erick Estrada]

Yep. Those weren't wide open receivers he was throwing to. He put the ball where only the receivers could bring them in. He threw it where only Rogers could grab it on the TD and 2 Point converts. Honestly he looked more accurate than Bo. No QB controversy but it's nice to know the backup is a gamer.

It will be interesting to see how bad Bo’s shoulder injury is.

Yeah...if its his AC joint...likely out a month as you dont want scar tissue building up and the only way that happens is by not using it.

[Erick Estrada]

I think Bo could be out for a while. This certainly is looking like a season of adversity for the Stamps. Not a bad thing as I think this will be a team that gells in the 2nd half of the season.

Stamps have only played 2 games...little early for "clear front runners" talk

Never too early to talk about front runners and teams in trouble. I'm sure no one would disagree that Montreal may only win 3 games this year, for instance. Calgary had a great run but the D simply isn't in the same ballpark as they had last season.

So i’m not going to sit here and say BLM isn’t an elite QB, he is, but I am going to say is it worth paying 750K for a QB in this league with a strict salary cap? With each passing week I watch Riley and Mitchell I’m starting to wonder if it is.

I’m just getting home now, what a great game that was! Arbuckle was great when he needed to be. What a comeback!

LOL you make it sound like after two games it's over for them. Did you not learn your lesson last year when the Stamps kind of took care of business against a hyped Bombers team in the playoffs? Mat Nichols was getting booed off the field last game because outside of a few big plays he wasn't very good. That's going to be a season long issue for that team.

[White Out 403]

I think it is over for the Stamps current run. So what? And last season the Bombers we're never favourites over the Stamps. That's a bit of a history rewrite

They were according to some that week. That's not a history rewrite as you can see below;

As long as the Bombers lack an elite QB they will always be beatable.

[Strange Brew]

How teams play in June means little.

Nothing wrong with noting who is playing well right now and who isn’t. But the Grey Cup is what, 18 games away? That’s a lifetime in Canadian football and we've seen Stamps lose to teams that they crushed in the regular season.

With turnover Calgary has had you can’t be too surprised by early season struggles.

So... The hype was what? It was an even split on the one writers poll you could find. Big deal.

Calgary will still make the playoffs but I'm predicting a west final in Edmonton or Winnipeg. I don't see why you need to kick up so much fuss.

I'm not sure what you are arguing. I showed proof that the Stamps weren't universally a favorite to win that game and now you change the goal posts to "big deal" because you don't have recourse. Even you thought the Bombers were going to win and they didn't.

[White Out 403]

Eh nm not worth it.

LOL. When the Bombers are one of the 'teams in trouble' after 2 games it's always much too early to talk about front runners and teams in trouble. When it's the Bombers who are 2-0 it's never too early to talk about about it! Reminds me of the 'Rank the Canadian teams' threads in the Fire on Ice forum that would miraculously pop up whenever the Jets went on a winning streak.

Way too early to call the Stamps' run 'over' (Why? because they lost one game to Ottawa?) They could literally play .500 until Labour Day, gel as a team, and then go on a run into the playoffs and basically be a as good as any other recent year. As for the Bombers they are just as likely to rip off a good summer, get swept by the Riders in the Labour Day home and home, and sputter into November, like basically every other year.

It's far too early to make grand statements like the West final is going through Winnipeg or Edmonton, because they both have a single win on the Stamps after 2 games (3 games for Edmonton) and have not played each other.

I mean, I'm sure we could all do without the bitchiness of this response. I made a pretty bland prediction and did so without any real smack talk. But if you want to Riders up your CFL chat go ahead.

edit: I also have like, no ####ing clue what your 1st paragraph is supposed to mean. You quote me then say all this stuff about "rank the canadian teams" (a poll/thread I've never created on the FOI, ever) and all these supposed talking points I've had about 2-0 and 0-2 starts.

Really fragile stuff.
