I’m looking more at the play by play announcers and can’t understand why they’re talking about the game, players and backgrounds. Where’s the nicknames? Where’s the deep, deep analysis of what the players are thinking? Where the shots of the food they’re going to eating at half time? Amateurs..

6'5" 230 lbs > 6'1" 216lbs Let's hope Big Chris can get open for Medium Chris.

In my defence, I had a dog draped across my lap and.....I was without adult supervision.

this is just fantastic on so many levels....

There were a noticeable number, confirmed by speaking to them, of Packer fans that made the trip up from the states. They had a great time, judging by the cheering, screaming, laughter and liquor they were consuming. The wave that carried on for twenty or so cycles around the stadium got most fans breaking into ovations, foolery, and lots of commotion. NFL has a lot of fans. It was somewhat shocking to witness the difference in the foot print of a NFL field overlay a CFL field, first hand, and absolutely further convinced me the bigger field adds more chance for exciting plays. A Bomber game is better value for the money but being there was a cool experience.

It's game day! (A real game day) Bombers coming out with the !! 🤣

I'm glad that someone else is picking up the "Skunk is typing the words "Big Chris" with one hand" vib...

I sincerely did...and like 230lbs or something. ******* Skunk got all up in my head....

Nice tribute to the history of the Raiders with Gruden. Except the team is moving to Vegas next season. Thanks for the memories, Oakland & **** you. Lol.

Edmonton D-line are dirty buggers, hopefully they don't get any free shots at Streveler. The head shot MBT took from Mike Moore last weekend was fined but it should have been an automatic 25 yd. penalty by the command centre as the infraction was so obviously vicious. After the hub-bub of the Simoni hit on Collaros died down things appear to be back to normal in regards to on-field player protection.

You have to discount the first 2 season's really...since 2016 he is 40-23 as a head coach

He's 10 feet if he's a foot!

Happiest person I've seen all week was the Packer's fan at the downtown street market yesterday. Tim's cup in hand, jersey/beads, Logo shaved into head, cannabis leaf sneakers - talking to guys in Delta-9 t-shirts. Legal weed (for those inclined) + Canadian exchange rate = What's not to like?

and I have to say, I more than just a little excited for the game! GO BOMBERS!

Yeah, that was predictable with our chosen offence. We'll have to combine two receiver totals to reach a thousand. The only category where we might hit a thousand, besides Harris, is two-and-outs. Or, so it seems.

dude is in ok shape, so yeah he ain't the tallest guy on the field, but he's a big strong guy. That's why the ladies and Northern Skunk are so in love with him

Seems like if you get fined for a certain number of head hits you need a automatic suspension

Haha more like Big Chris and Bigger Chris

Probably. 6'3" with the exchange rate would still only be 5'10" American.

Interesting to note that Winnipeg hasn't been dinged for an off-side penalty on offence yet this year..attention to detail and perfection like that will be key moving forward with the Strev

I bet they take a few roughing the passer penalties to try to throw Strev off. I hope they don't hurt themselves.

Because American heads would explode when they came up here.

So...Eskimos Bombers tonight ...the new Battle of Alberta? - Morley Scott 👁‍🗨Wow, 44 less penalties (414 yards) than Edmonton. Let’s hope that ratio continues tonight.. The Bombers have been nailed for a league-low 67 penalties this season, totalling 599 yards. The Eskimos have a league-high 111 penalties, covering 913 yards.

regardless of the promoter's total failure...the Bombers pocketed whatever the rental fee was..500K perhaps..more?...who knows...and all the concessions sold..win win in my books Wonder if they keep the turf that they placed to cover up any non-turfed areas as well moving forward

One down one to go. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/david-koch-obituary-1.5257303

I physically saw an NFL/American field for the first time a few years ago. I was surprised too. Too bad they didn't playthe game on the CFL field. Would have been interesting to see what they did with it.

Bits and Pieces (Game Notes) This week, Michael O'Shea will record his 100th career regular season game as the Bombers' head coach - he will be only the 3rd man to reach the 100 game mark: Bud Grant 160 (102-56-2) and Cal Murphy 138 (86-51-1). Mike Miller had 2 Special Teams Tackles last week and is now tied for #5 all-time at 175, 9 behind 2nd place...Wade Miller The Bombers are #2 in the CFL in the % of their offensive plays that are rushes - 42% runs vs 58% pass calls (SSK #1 at 45%0. After 8 straight games with 10+ penalties, Edmonton incurred just 6 penalties last week vs Toronto. Edmonton is #1 in the CFL in yards per play on Offence (6.9 yards) and #1 on Defence at just 5.3 yards per play. T. Harris has another INT-free streak going at 169 in a row; he has thrown just 2 interceptions in his last 423 pass attempts. Andrew Harris did not catch a pass last week and in fact was not targeted at all for the first time this year. Justin Medlock leads the CFL with 6 punts inside the 10-yard line and with 36 of his 56 were directed "Outside the Numbers".

This game isn't too bad but mostly I find NFL preseason football almost unwatchable.

You wont be seeing a exhibition NFL game ever again in Winnipeg and I'm okay with that, poorly organized, poorly priced and the teams complaining about the field

The only people watching this game should be family and friends. My excuse is I can't reach the remote.

No Rodgers. No Davante Adams. No Antonio Brown. No Derek Carr. Instead you get a bunch of backups and third stringers. What a joke. Kudos to everybody who knew to stay away from this scam.

One game should not anoint Streveler as the messiah nor damn him as a wasted signing. Not many quarterbacks would survive those criteria.

Jack Layton, a remarkable political figure, passed away 8 years ago today. RIP, good sir.

And by the time he gets to 140 games, he'll have a record of 91-49-0 (65%) 😁

I thought he was 6'3 for sure.

I really thought Streveler was way bigger than 6'1"...huh. TIL.......

Need the D to keep up with Harris and keep the game close for Streveler so he doesn't lose any confidence.

Big Chris to Bigger Chris for two td's tonight will be friggin awesome...

Small Chris likes this! 6'0" 200lbs

https://www.tsn.ca/halifax-cfl-group-says-moncton-contest-success-not-critical-to-long-term-goal-1.1354952 Anybody else not like Leblanc and think this is going to end up not happening?

Yes, but lots.of people here discard the obvious in favour of blind hatreds and ignorance so I am left to try and hammer the obvious into their heads.

we look fine

All the announcers are sure making sure that WINNIPEG is mentioned at least once every few minutes...prominently.

The NFL may never come back to Winnipeg but for sure it's never coming back to Oakland.

They have played two CFL games with same patches

Not sure why or what the issues are with field other than the goal post patch. The field turf installed at IG is the same brand and spec as about 90 percent of the pro and college stadiums in North America I think all the CFL club field turf types are the same in except for Mtl and and BC..and obviously T.O's natural surface

This is Oakland's home stadium.

Complaining about the field yet its 10000 times better than what the raiders play on.

Clearly they did no research. How can one be five minutes into a telecast and not have mentioned the Walby burger or Shawarma Khan?
