There is an interesting fact.

There is an implication of time of possession, that is driven by rushing/running game. When there is more ground game time of possession increases and allow the other team to push for mistakes.

The Bombers are definitely trending in the right direction after a rough start with a depleted o-line. But after several weeks of learning each others’ tendencies, the group has started opening holes for the run game. And with Hardrick out for Saskatchewan, the Riders could be hard pressed to win the possession battle.

I don’t think of this as battle… it’s more of a ‘meeting of the minds’ (where grey matter from one player attempts to merge with the grey matter of another player).

Yes, but is it left brain vs right brain? Right vs right? Can 2 rights make a wrong? Is the left ever right? :grinning::rofl:

You jus gotta know people across this nation Canuckville that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will destroy those lowly pretenders from riderville and will proceed to win the 2024 CFL season series … again. Put ur bottom dollar on it, Blue Bombers for the win, you can’t go wrong.

Trey Ford for trevor harris plus Brady Olivera for AJ Ouelette and finally shea patterson he of the cornrow salon head to anyone who wants him in the CFL, he’s there for the taking. Make it happen Paul Jones Assistant General Manager of the Saskatchewan Roughriders Football Club.

So … so the Saskatchewan Roughriders football club will come prancing out from the tunnel pregame in their tight ridiculous looking dark obsidian ballerina tites. Who thinks up these bad ideas in riderville, actually, who’s responsible for that 3rd outfit.
