****, even our hockey team wins the prime  events at that stadium. 

Collaros has been more of a threat with the deep ball - and I might add not in ideal conditions. 

Collaros > Nichols. That being said, I don't want either next year even if we win the cup this year. 

you going?  Buddy I went with last year just told me he's in!

It's cold and snowing right now and I couldn't be happier. Gonna bundle my ass up and enjoy every  moment of the upcoming bomber win.

It would be nice to beat 2 Dickies in a row

Collaros just guided the team through a game where the Stamps had everything to play for... they didn't rest anyone, and the Bombers got the W.  To me, there's no question that you ride with Zach.  He's a much better passer than Streveler and showed some mobility as well when he needs to scramble.  Just gotta hope he doesn't take a big hit, but if they can keep him upright, maybe, just maybe, Zach could be the saviour!  It's all about getting hot at the right time, and after last night, everyone in that room has to believe that they've got the talent to go get to the Cup!

You know what, I don't really care which team we play. We have shown we can beat either calgary or saskatchewan and the losses were hardly blowouts when they did happen. 
All we need to do is string together a couple wins to play in the Grey Cup and if not for a few lapses in games thought to be well in hand this team would have cruised to first in the west.

You gain nothing starting a running qb and trying to weave in a passer. But spelling a throwing qb with a mobile qb is proven effective. If collaros gets knocked out of the game as a starter we lose nothing from having streveler come off the bench. If collaros has to come off the bench he has to find a passing rythym. 
Remember the hurry up package after the short yardage team got a first down last year? We can have that back. 
Not to mention it's what our offense is designed around. We never made the read option or rpo work real well. 
Collaros made better use of our system then Nichols did and showed better accuracy then we've seen in a long time.

McGuire.

Might the fact that in colder weather people tend to not drink as much cold liquid be a part of the equation?  Sort of like why the sale of hot chocolate tends to be minimal in July and August but starts to climb in September?

In any league if you stand in the pocket for too long you will get hit. That has nothing to do with being asked to.

They're not asked to take shots, they just don't get rid of the ball soon enough. 

I had to look this up to be sure, but I knew it was low.... the Bombers have now only put up double digits in points in the 2nd half 3 times since week 5.

Don't know yet, need to see how the playoffs go.

the 01 GC was on ESPN CC last night and I almost.....almost.......decided to watch it. Couldn't bring myself to do it. I still have never re-watched the game in the last 18 years. It's still too soon and hurts too much...

I'm not sure what you're reading into my post. I said that beating bad teams early in the season, like we did, is the same as beating bad teams at the end of the season like the Riders most likely will.

Easy to be a powerhouse when you're beating up on the weak kids. Can't overstate the lesser quality of most of the teams we played in the first half of the season.

Classic 'Rider math 1+1 = 3 lol

and Fajardo didn't look too $*** hot in your game on Friday, so keep calling that kettle black there pot!

I think that’s fair.  In the 4th quarter I expected to see basic, totally telegraphed runs straight up the gut, but for the most part the play calling was much more varied.  He let the ground game do what it was designed to do, and Montreal didn’t have any real answer for it.
