Labour Day is the peak of my sports personality. Secretly hope for the best while fully expecting the absolute rock bottom worst! Every year I remind my wife: don't let me watch Labour Day! Every year she fails. It's her fault.

Enormous game for the boys, 1st place on the line.....LETS ******* GO, BLUE!!!!!!!

Riders don't really scare me...offense is nothing to.write home about...how many tackles have they cycled thru as well? And that goes with weak interior guys...in front of glass QB Harris They have the worst pass defense in league..and if we utilize our more athletic oline properly it will eleviate some of the lack of cohesion...and if that opens up the run...they will cheat on it and if smart cerebral zc shows up I can see this being his best game of yr I think Younger is gonna severely out coach that dumb arse Mueller in this one... Today I also believe will be the game we see.some different things with the Strev use too...as in passing...

Redemski

Everyone says it but really Fat Boi needs to call it a career

Man we needed that, that's huge

This thread needs to be renamed to the appropriate: "Banjo Bowl Preview Game".

Id like to see more of that from him. When he's playing his best he's making plays outside the pocket Credit where it's due. Nice ball to demski

Woooo.. Demski was hit there.

nice response

Now that was a nice pass

That was a SOLID drive and not what I was expecting. Shot downfield. Moved the chains. Capped off a scoring drive with a two yard plunge. Can we call it a game? 😂

Smith needs to retire, he really sucks at this pbp thing

I thought you weren't allowed to pull legs anymore. Or did I make that up?

What about the punter?

Hey...I'm a positive passionate fan now don't get me wrong...but also not afraid to call things out and voice displeasure or concern where need be...I don't wear exclusive blue goggles...

I'm hoping that Collaros is riding a wave of confidence following the game winning drive against Hamilton and shows up with his biggest performance of the season. We need vintage Collaros to win this game.

Sanchez said in the pre-game that this is the first time he's thought BC's receiving corps was outmatched by the opposing secondary. Wow was he wrong. And I guess he missed 2 of the 3 last games BC played where they could barely get a first down against Bombers secondary....with two "MOP" QB's.

In general we had been keeping a true imp tackle with upside on the pr for years. Drew Richmond would’ve very likely been a good one imo. larnel Coleman and Khalil Keith were both highly touted guys who played guard and some spot starts at rt due to injury. The xfl and nfl tried to convert them to rt a bit but to no success. Both lost out to Randolph and vanterpool who are also guards teams tried to convert to T.

Demski with the TD! I love how he covered up with two arms at the end!

Good response to the Riders TD

Adams would be a huge upgrade.

Thomas eating **** on every down

Zach you moron.

Time to answer back I thought our oline was patch work...if we can't expose the Rider one we are in trouble

It's a drive that the Bombers O needed

take that regina

Clercius is gonna be so good

Lousy punt...dude has no leg

Oh yeah hahahha...keeping that one in holster for later

Johnson likely isn't even that useless. He was one of the guys I thought showed best in training camp as a young receiver. Probably should just be a PR guy this year though. Adams there are no excuses for though.

That all being said tho...Adams off and Johnson still on...schmeck and Thomas as 2/3rds of our DT rotation is enough to make a guy wanna put a pistol in his mouth...Osh still needs to work on perfecting a roster with logic and talent...not his bias....is that better? 😁

Surly only looks out for one guy, surly.

Stay calm. It's only a game. Stay calm, It's only a game. Stay calm. It's only a....

This much positivity from Booch is enough to make me believe!!

If it comes down to the running game, I don’t have a lot of faith that we do much of anything against that Saskatchewan front. Saskatchwan will take away the run, blanket Lawler and force Zach to dump things short to allow their DBs to come downhill. Our offense has given me no reason to be optimistic. If we win today it’s because both special teams and defence score.

Keys to the game for me ol. Gonna live and die with our ability to block today. TDs. We can’t expect to sustain winning with 1 or less tds. Dl. Our secondary has been exceptional this year. At some point they will need some pressure from the front, and with biggie back they will need to step up with gap canceling. players to watch Lofton/Randolph. The greenest set of tackles we’ve started in ages. The riders play for sacks, it’ll be trial by fire. zach/buck. On top of scoring tds, limiting turn overs and trying to off set the raw tackles, we’ve been breaking the huddle extremely late all year and rushing to get the play off on time. With the crowd at igf west we will need to be on point with getting into formation quickly. We’ve got WRs back now and lucky to use. No lack of weapons, it’s time to make use of it. Biggie. He’s been pretty rough this year especially in run stopping. It’ll be interesting to see how healthy he is right now, a further reduced biggie would be a big problem. Habba. Hasn’t really taken the step forward you’d hope for, though he’s missed a lot of time this year. We badly need production across from wj, if Habba doesn’t step up soon we should look for new ends. Bonus, kick cover should be fun to watch in this game. Lots of guys on both sides who get after it, and guys for us who have been making big plays on teams.

I've said for years Atlantic won't work. I'm not sure why they focused on it instead of Quebec.

They need to do a touchdown Quebec in Quebec City really...that would be a major hit Give the shitbirds a natural rival too for this weekend...scrap the Atlantic thing as it's gonna be yrs if ever before they get the infrastructure in place in order to not make it Bush league

Match cover is indeed a familiar concept in the cfl. The argos bend but don’t break played it a lot. And weren’t the first. They played a lot of 30 front with mobile lbers dropping back too. as jbr said the more you run the better. Play action also helps. You can time pa with breaks and freeze the D, pump fakes work as well. If you watch the pass concepts in those videos what you see is a lot of crowded forms and concepts. Very limited crossing, motion, dragging etc. mesh concept, a crosser from each side run towards each other close enough that they can high 5 is tough on mesh. As is delayed motion, and 0 motion (motion at the snap in stead of pre snap motion) as well as chip/block and release concepts, and rpo’s thrown at the largest coverage bubble. In general rub routes and layered crossing is the easiest way. Instead of trying to attack seams that don’t exist you force the defenders into extended trail position. using less of a tight stack, with spaced routes makes it harder to defend. The field is huge and if you space close to evenly you force man cover. You can also attack it on a personnel basis. Rb wheel to a vacated spot on a block and release, and routes that send the rb deep really mess up match cover. you can also force one of the better pass defenders to defend your worst target and force your their worst to defend your best. To do this you need to get to the line quickly and have the qb/wrs adjust to alignment. You can also start the passing targets in the back field and motion as late as possible into position. The more you do this the harder it is on the secondary. You can’t do it every snap by any means but it’s very hard especially in split field cover where one side would be man depending on the number of targets. You can also run overlap patterns, the pattern match really depends on teams spreading their targets and not crossing the middle in a flood. So if you have 3 on one side and you have the outside and inside run to the same spot then run a matching route like an inside curl, then pause, then run an in and where the WRs read leverage and run against it.

**** Rourke, **** Betts and **** the Lions...

Sooner or later the Bombers are going to have to look at replacing Stanley as he will have to retire in the not too distant future. While it's not optimal, maybe it'll be somewhat beneficial to get a guy like Randolph in there to get the experience and see if he can eventually be a guy we could count on some day. I realize there could be better games for this change to take place, but I'll be interested to see how he plays after a week of practice rather than just being thrown in there.

I would rather talk about the Riders inching closer to their 700th loss as a franchise lol

Oh look they have more fans than the Argos

I think lapo said he’s on color for the ldc

Younger generations aren’t getting their drivers license at the same rate as older generations did. Autonomous cars will become a standard within the next 10 years. Then add another 10 for older cars to age out. Then the lawsuits will be on the AI when it needs to make an impossible decision.

That’s just asinine, has he not watched any football this month?

Hopefully Suitor misses the ferry and can't make it to Sask

It's not huge tho. It's maybe an inch over average From a friend of mine who knows Gray, it wasn't a money thing at all. Geoff was ready to move on.
