How patient will Dinwiddie be with JM if he continues to struggle? What a weird set-up with their qb situation especially with the big contract given to JM.

Good to hear in 2026 we have "Happy Zach" after 2025 unhappy Zach. I prefer happy Zach.

Condell did every thing i hoped he would. It’s early and the pass game has a lot to work on, but the play call was a massive improvement. The wind was crazy, which isn’t un common there (or here) Picking the wind in the 4th is a gamble. One that has paid off big at times and missed several other times. Personally I hate giving up possessions. but that was a strong wind. nailed it. Rust is real. We’ve got a bunch of changes on D, and that makes it hard as well. but with modest contact at best in camp, you need to use the pre season to get what you used to get from camp.

Nick Anderson is good and type lb we need...damn him tho cause it's due to him we have Jones...cut the vet for a raw rookie...see Osh..its allowed and can be done

I really thought Ottawa was going to be better... Stillmtime I guess but maybe I overestimate Dinwiddie's actual abilities...

wow is Ottawa bad, stunningly bad

Rain or shine, it's going to be ugly with the two worst teams in the league.

First game in an abreviated training camp & pre season where hitting was rare. Give the guys a chance to find their football legs,

Faj and whining about perceived non calls... Name a more iconic duo....

Jones made a bunch of tackles... grabbing at guys legs after they blew by him.

It's not a graveyard anymore. Until last year we were undefeated at McMahon Stadium for 5 seasons. Yeah, the Stamps won every game played there last year but who cares? We've already got s win in Calgary this season. With Noeller it's either total happiness because the birds are singing & the butterflies are free. Or absolute terror because the damned sky is falling in.

You know after watching mills run all over us, If dudes could tackle he’d have had less than half his run yards. Why can’t our guys tackle? They all go for the big hits it seems. If nothing else but he was, Osh wouldn’t miss tackles like that as a player. Must piss him off or maybe it’s lack of padded practices? Somethings different. Bighill didn’t miss tackles until he was cooked. Are jones and kyrie cooked? When was the last time Tony Jones made a tackle for a loss or less than 2 yard gain. ??

Fajardo and his late slides. Yeesh

Pouring rain in Ottawa is going to make this a very ugly game...

Elks short yardage qb Snyder gets a yard for the first down and seems to glitch out with a celebration. lol

Blasphemy!

As I’m pushing my glasses up, Nield had two drops . . . :)

Leroux to Sheehan... Hoping that gets cleaned up.

Two points I forgot: Perkins looks like a natural in short yardage. For CFL rookies, short yardage can sometimes be an adventure. When we went for it around our own 20 or 25 with a full yard and he was able to convert, that to me indicated the coaches have all the trust in the world in him to be able to convert. Long snapping: Two snaps on field goals were less than ideal. Kudos to our holder for being able to dig it out of the turf and get it pinned for Sergio without interrupting his rhythm of the kick.

Was busy Thursday and was at last night's game... Excited to finally sit down and watch some CFL on TSN. Think both of these teams will be better than most believe... The RBs are better with Dru than Maier, but there's still potential. Faj is still a noodle armed nobody, but with a proper game plan, he can at least give them a chance.

Good comments! I especially agree about Nield. We were missing that steady big target in the middle of the field last season. Despite the drop I think he was everything and more what we would expect of him in Blue and Gold. Good guy to have when you need a first down in a throwing situation.

Took a few hours for the hangover to go away from yesterday, but after re-watching the game, I feel there's lots to feel good about, especially considering the standard quirks that typically come with a week 1 game. Some random thoughts in no particular order... Half time adjustments. It was clear as day that adjustments were made on both sides of the ball. Half time adjustments, specifically, lack thereof has killed us in years past. Pass protection was significantly better in the 2nd half. Run defence was significantly better too. Tommy Condell vs Jason Hogan. For those that haven't heard, I'd encourage you to listen to Zach on the post-game show. He was beaming when asked about the offence after the game. Also, Strevvy was live-tweeting during the game yesterday and made a comment about how our receivers were wide open in the intermediate game. That was sorely missing last year, as was just a solid flowing offensive game plan. The wind - as mentioned by Noeller (also Zach on the post game), this was not a consistent wind throughout the game. I know people on this forum think Osh is an idiot (you're telling on yourself for thinking this, just for the record) but the wind was unpredictable and the team still found a way. The times Osh has in the past decided to kick twice in favour for a fourth quarter wind has usually worked well in our favour. While we didn't have the wind in the fourth, we still found a way. No one bats 1.000 Tommy Nield - Despite the one drop, looked very solid. Nice to have another capable National receiver. I look forward to seeing what he does as he gets more reps in the offence. Looking ahead - Very much Looking forward to Thursday against Hamilton. I would imagine Tim White has a chip on his shoulder. If we can keep Kenny to a respectable number receiving, I like our chances. Hopefully the forecast changes as it looks like crap for the end of the week, Thursday included.

hahah...i carry no grudge with anyone who is a Bomber fan....But also stand by my opinions and experience...etc...and will retort to anyone...I'd cross check my mom to get the puck if I was a hockey player to get the win hahaha....So hopefully no one is thinks anything is personal...I'm wired from the late 90's and early 2000'S era where we did what needed to be done and called and held no punches verbally regardless of who got their panties in a twist...back when men were men I guess and snowflakes only showed up dec thru March We aint the same dude tho lol....but we do think similarly
