Although I didn’t see this coming this quickly, I knew the firing Doug Berry was more then likely inevitable.
I was listening to it on the news on the way back to work and Lyle Bauer was quoted as saying they expect to have a new coach in place with in two weeks. That got me wondering if it had anything to do with Don Matthews resigning recently from Toronto. I doubt it, but if it does happen you heard it here first!
Wow. Quite the win over Calgary on the weekend. Too bad they blacked it out here in The Peg. I just managed to catch some highlights. Seems they have a bit of their momentum back since the wheels fell off at mid season.
The defence is kicking ass and taking names. Kevin Glen is still a bit shaky, but it’s been at least two games since he’s thrown a pick. Charles “Blink” Roberts took the season rushing title for the second year in a row with 1560 yards. This puts him less then 100 yard from his personal record of 1624 with one game left in the season. Uncle Milty added another TD to his chase for the record. He is still one TD short of the all time record of 137. I personally think he’s waiting to add a few more to that number before he retires. 140 is a nice round number. Of course there is always good old Troy “Wide Left” Westwood. to worry about. I’d really like to know how many games we lost by the less the field goals he’s missed.
Things are looking up in Bomber town.
Update: My mistake, they still have a chance of securing the semi-final game at home, not the final. Still that’s pretty good for a team that went from 5-2 to 8-8.
Winnipeg managed to eek out another win today against the The Ti-Cats. For a team that came out of the gates full tilt and went 5-2 to mid season they sure are sucking as of late. They should have been able to walk all over the tabbies and run the score up.
One comment that caught my attention as the game ended was that this brings the Bombers back to 50% and they still have a chance of securing a home game for the eastern final. My God… Only in the CFL
