That was a punt not a FG attempt. Thankfully dude ran it out

And if my aunt was a man she would be my uncle.
This is just bad,game over

I am really not impressed with Charles Nelson

Not going to criticize the O game plan......as I am not sure what that is....

It looks like they were not well prepared in all three phases of the game today. Maybe resting on their laurels? Hopefully they will take this as a good lesson

I thought the offence played well once they figured out to do without Harris and Demski.
nicholls came up with a game changing drive fir a field goal to give the blue a 10 point lead and capped it off with the big play to Tompkins.
i thought he was back to his old form in the 4th and kudos to them for overcoming some big injuries.
 

Honestly the hate on guys have for Nichols is getting old.
He is not a flashy qb but with a good d and when he is running a steady ball control offence that doesn’t turn the ball over it makes for a winning combo.
the only qb’s that are better are Riley and Mitchell with Masoli possibly ahead of Nichols but he has yet to win anything.
He proved his worth in the 4th with the drive that led to a big field goal and by not turning the ball over.
ill conceed Montreal is not a good team but they have some solid players on D.

I hate, as a fan of the league, to see things go sideways in Montreal as it is likely bad for the league and hope they can get on track as long as it is not against the Blue

I was soundly beaten to a pulp by some posters for my Smoke 'n' Mirrors post.  Nonetheless, I said that I'd post win or lose. So here I am after re-watching the game with a few comments...
-Nichols is cool under pressure and almost always makes the right decision with the ball;
-home field advantage is a great thing and the Blue seem to have finally  embraced it . The O-Line Leap is a site to behold and adds warms the cockles of my heart
- Andrew Harris is to the Blue what Marshawn Lynch was to the Hawks minus the  'it is all about me attitude' and the fact Wally B. let him get away is almost as confounding and confusing as the beating I took last week for my posting
-Mr. Mo 'looks better and better in Blue every game' Leggat is an amazing football player and when he is on the Bombers defence is good but not great and he adds an intangible  to special teams that few teams in the league have.
In summation, it was a nice win with a few peaks and valleys. Glenn still had his way with the defence despite his glaring errors but it was nice to see the d locked down the game after Brandon 'Slaw Rebchuk' Bridge burned them for that td. I think this team showed great character and aplomb with this win. My concerns are alleviated for the moment but I still see some major flaws that even this win cannot hid including the need to for a MLB (wouldn't it be nice to have Muamba) and  to learn the basics about tackling.
I am still not sold on this team because the defence is not great and probably still suffering from Post Traumatic Mack Disorder.

This is why I created this post as with those stats it truly is a case of smoke and mirrors. Thanks for doing the leg work. The Bomber brass could use yo uas their stats guy!

11 and 7 good I hope for a crossover into the East for an easier road to the cup...

I said pa-pa-pardon me? You proved my point. I know the type of catches Denmark can/has made on slants, over the middle, crossing patters but not deep jump balls. It was a poor throw to the wrong player being covered by a guy who is an INT machine right now.  Keep trying to discredit me if it makes you feel better but the guys on the post game show were saying the same thin gas me. I guess they are wrong too. Moreover, Lapo was also unimpressed with the offence last game but what does he know??

LOL - smoke and mirrors?  A win is a win, a loss is a loss. I did not think the Bombers would be 7 - 3 at this point. Could the Bombers be 3 - 7? Sure, the Bombers could be 10 - 0 or 0 - 10 .  This, by far, is the most entertaining CFL season I've seen in probably 10 years. Maybe more.  Other than the Tigercats, every team is capable of winning any week (one only need look at Mtrls' over Calgary earlier this year). 
And as already stated - bombers almost always 'stink' at the LDC - Saskatchewan almost always comes out on fire and the Bombers come out flat. The fact that they (Riders) were held to only 4 points (I think) in the second half shows that . 
Matt Nichols has been outstanding this year, and if Andrew Harris isn't already a shoe-in for Outstanding Canadian and possibly player, then the 'fix' is in lol.
Just enjoy the season - no team is going to win every game and really looking forward to the rematch (thought gotta PVR it - off to Rogers and UFC on Saturday)

Let me get this straight because someone doesn't have 7000 posts their opinion is less valid or not worthy of being taken seriously. I suggest that isn't a great way to invite new comments or participation in this forum. I post when something inspires me to do it. Yesterday's game was one of those where I felt the need to get my thoughts off my chest. I was in the 'babble' section during the game and usually am there when I can be.  I may not be a 'prolific' poster but I know the right time to post and I have legitimate concerns about this team moving forward. I am not panicking just yet I'll reserve that for Saturday's game. If they are picked apart again then I'll be posting and if they destroy the Rider's I'll also post something. I just fel it is very 'Trumpian' to judge someone by how many posts they have or don't have!

I'm shocked at your irrational response. We re all Bomber fans here. I'm not ranting and raving. I backed up my concerns with stats. I do believe many of you have BLUEBLIDNERS on and that they are lucky to have won 7 games. They do not dominate teams in fact they usually get off to slow starts and have to come back. I know football is 4 quarters but I would like to see them play a full 4 quarters like Calgary does. The Bombers are a middle of the road team. Good but not great. 
If i am getting such flak for posting my concerns after a loss imagine if I posted my thoughts, which were similar during the win streak! You guys out here who think you are above us lesser post number posters would probably want to send me to Regina! I'm sure you have concerns over the defence and if you were at that Montreal game as I was had thoughts of leaving even if you stayed to the end. I will not stop posting when I have concerns despite your comments.
 

And therein lies the problem...

Finally, a voice of reason. Let us hope it is better and that the guys out here can get over me and my post!

lolol.   yup.  this is hilarious.   gotta love people who can't handle their posts getting critiqued.  Its like they've never internetted before.

You make me laugh I'm not butt hurt just questioning why jabroni no. 2 looks at post numbers as a sign of worthiness?? Only he can answer that and moreover I prefaced  my comments with " I haven't lost all hope and it is just one loss" so no ledge or jumping legitimate concern about a team that has won 2 ot games and another with a miracle comeback/Montreal meltdown!
