OT: 2018 Winnipeg Blue Bombers (10-7) NEXT @ EDM (8-9) November 3 (CLINCHED PLAYOFFS)

[Holden Caulfield]

I don't miss bowman at ALL.

 

[None]

I don't miss bowman at ALL.

His replacement has already had more impact in a single quarter than Bowman had in the first 6 games.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Thompkins looking good so far.

Also found it weird he fell out of the NFL so fast. He wasn't anything amazing but he was a pretty solid #4/5 guy.

Who?

Thompkins looking good so far.

After his initial success with NE he couldn't get regular playing time with Oakland(despite being my favorite team, less than stellar in personnel decisions in that era and the NYJ, another team well versed in bad personnel decisions.

And even at 6'1" I'd say maybe considered short for the position and if another player showed better in even one game that might be enough to swing the pendulum.

I remember years ago in one of the football magazines there was an article that broke down every position in terms of the size and attributes of what constitutes an NFL player at each position.

It's basically why College OT's are switched to OG in the pros and why a College CB might end up moving to S in the NFL and vice versa.

Wish I still had that issue. I remember it being a pretty interesting read.

#4/5 WR in the NFL is about as close to the bubble as you can get, especially with how TEs get used now. You either have to be a good returner or a dynamite ST cover guy to stay as a #4/5, otherwise you get pushed out by rookies.

Pats have Matt Slater who is the ultimate special teams cover guy, so Thompkins was never going to stick in that role with New England.

 

[ThinIce61]

Here we go.

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

What ever O’shea did for the refs before the game, it should be illegal. We are so lucky rn.

 

[bustamente]

So many weapons on Offense, and you get rid of a stiff like Bowman and add another threat in Thompkins

 

[None]

Franklyn with happy feet there on the interception by Fogg, not as much pressure off of the weak side as he thought.

 

[one other person]

Demski is really good, nice to see Thompkins on the field! Nice to see some calls go the Bombers way too

 

[Holden Caulfield]

How can you just "wave off" a penalty. What bs.

I think Dressler made a point of running right into the defender on that play. Actually turned and ran into him

 

[ThinIce61]

Bombers almost as many TO's as TO has points.
Clever no?

 

[ThinIce61]

It's the CFL and the officials work at McDonald's during the day.
That's how.

 

[DerekDevils30]

I feel like this offense has another gear they haven't hit to this point

 

[jetsforever]

These high-offence games are fun
Also, Harris/Demski are an awesome Winnipeg-born RB duo

 

[ThinIce61]

Santos - Knox can play.

 

[ThinIce61]

No roughing the kicker there? Or is killing him considered different.

 

[kcin94]

If you get the ball, it's not a penalty

 

[HannuJ]

k please sit Nicholls now and play Streveller

 

[ThinIce61]

Heck, play Bennett.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

No roughing the kicker there? Or is killing him considered different.

As long as he has the ball you can hit him. He hadn't kicked it yet.

 

[bustamente]

Lot of Bombers had great games tonight, JSK was the D leader, Miller on ST's was great, Demski, Thompkins and Dressler were very good, Argos sold out trying to stop Harris and they kinda succeeded, but so many other weapons Argos had no chance.

 

[snowkiddin]

Argos D comically sold out to stop Harris and it bit them in the ass.
