BBRT

Mookie! Great seeing you here. I pop in when I can. Work travel keeps me out of Canada more than I would like. Miss the "Our Bombers" days. I always wonder where Nasty Nate ended up. I even pop over to Total CFL every so often. That was where I first ran across you. Long time ago!😀

This is exactly how I see it. Collaros needs to play error free ball. If he gets into trouble there is a good sideline to throw the ball to. Trying to make something out of nothing will lose us the game. If he has a good error free game we win. If the opposite happens we will not win.

Yeah back in those days my office was just off Colony Street (by the Bay) and I had to park several blocks away. One of the best memories I have is standing by the Bay on the one side and watching the Bomber Grey Cup Team parade back in 1984. Very cold that day but I hung in for the whole parade.

And on this I have to agree with Bluto - I moved from Dallas to Winnipeg in 1981 (better half is from the Peg). My office was just off Portage and Main and I suffered!! I thought it could not get any worse until I had to spend a week in Toronto in Feb - downtown staying at the Westin (right by the harbor) and walking up to the client about 5 blocks away. I have never been colder even with my walks to my office in the Peg. The wind and dampness and cold just got to me no matter how warm I dressed. Never forget it!

I want to see the Argo's in the cup for two reasons - 1)This will help the season ticket count in Toronto for the Argos and 2) Bombers will prove once and for all they are the better team.

I really do not see Calgary winning in BC - but stranger things have happened. I would believe that a BC win will happen and the Bombers need to put the pedal to the metal on Saturday and win. I would not like to have to go into Calgary the following week needing the win to secure home field advantage and a bye into the Western Final. Calgary will be playing all out to secure a play off spot given that the Riders should lose to the Argos this week.

lots of good comments on this one. I was only able to watch the first quarter and then had to tape the rest which I will watch today sometime. When I had to turn off the game (damn Bridge Night and my wife was threating me with her Darth Vader Death Look) the Bombers did not look all that good. Glad to now learn about the win in OT and will watch the game tonight.

I agree with your comments. BC Defensive Line is a little on the light side. I think we can run against them and should be able to wear them down as the game progresses. I think the key to the game is to keep our offense on the field and the BC offense off the field. However when the BC offense is on the field I think it is time for both Jefferson and Jeffcoat to show up. Both have not been all that impressive the past few games at least IMHO.

This is my opinion also. The win did not prove much other than what TBurgress indicated. Next week will be where the rubber meets the road. If we win I think we are well along our way to another cup appearance. If not then we probably will host the WSF and probably play the Riders.

Amen I agree with Noeller - just win today and worry about BC after that - one game at a time. Note disclaimer - this is the second time I have agreed with Noeller this week - a new record!😀

I just want a win to keep up with the Lions. And I would love to see the Riders win in BC but I think that is a lost cause. I think we will win and if only by a FG than who cares? It is the Lion game next up that will be the acid test IMHO.

I see this game as sort of a no win for the Bombers regardless of what happens. If the Bombers win it is due to the fact that the Argos did not play their "A" team as they want to rest starters etc. etc. - If the Bombers lose there will be tons of questions . IMHO the Bombers need to win just to stay in first and continue to fight for home field advantage for the WF or WSF etc. Nothing else matters!

I sort of have to agree with Noeller here (cough cough cough) - and I seldom agree with Noeller. I think the Argos could get sharpshooted in the Eastern Final. Just think they are on cruise control and it will be hard to put the pedal to the metal when it counts.

Got to agree with most of the comments on the Elks and Ford in particular. I think Edmonton is slowly but steadly building a competative team. Maybe not this year but next year if they keep the progress going they will definately be in the hunt. The Riders?? Not so much! Lots of changes needed in Rider Land at least IMHO.

I agree with TBurgess - we should win but not by the blowout others are predicting. I think it will be a good game and provided we do not make as many silly mistakes as we seem to want to make - we win by 10points or or more.
