The Hamilton team played more conservative in the second half - They full well knew that playing against a Richie Hall defense they could crank it up again any time they wanted to. Hamilton is just a far far better team on both sides of the ball than Winnipeg, as is Calgary and Sask as far as I am concerned. You will never ever win anything of importance as long as you have Richie Hall as your DC. There is no way in the world we could have pulled this one out. I doubt we will win many more. Make the playoffs and one and done is what is in store for this club. Maybe they will fall into the cross over and then get pounded out east.

That is a good question. As for me I moved out to Calgary about 18 years ago. When I lived in the Peg (moved there from Dallas in 1981) I was true blue fan. Season tickets and all - lived and died each game. When I moved to Calgary for a number of years I maintained my season tickets in the Peg even though I also have season tickets for the Stamps. Then over the say, last 5 years or so I have become more or less emotionally detached. I don't watch all the games - I tape them and then decide if I want to watch them afterwards. I use to yell and scream at the TV (drove my better half nuts!). Now I watch the game with more or less a detached overview. If they win I am happy - if they lose; well life does go on. I think I have changed into more of a CFL football supporter than a Bomber supporter. In an hour or so I will be watching the Edmonton-Ottawa game and then the Rider-Argo game mixed in with some NCAA football.
So bottom line I have moved from a live or die with the Bombers to more of  casual fan. 

I don't think you can embarrass this franchise! Wade Miller and Kyle Walters are beyond being embarrassed. As long as 25K or so pay for tickets each and every home game they will just keep trucking along. New HC here and there, new OC and DC here and there. Few good players here and there - No Grey Cups since I can not remember when. They just keep trucking along same same.

Why do we need to give them the Apple? Just the roadmap would be all I would give them (and charge them for the roadmap)!

and our DB's would run away from it!

He probably got lost on the way to the booth or rest room and ended up on the sidelines - would have been better if he ended up on the Hamilton sideline!

Saskatchewan has a better QB and a far better DC - even if they had a Door Knob as DC. They will kick Toronto butt today - where we lost and we go into their barn soon and will probably keep the score close until Richie Hall fails yet again. Hence my thinking the Riders are a better team than the Bombers.
As for me today is a great day 3 CFL games on, lots of NCAA football and tomorrow I get to watch the Bears-Vikings game along with the Browns and Pats play. Great weekend for football here in Calgary. I also just purchased two tickets for the Grey Cup! Not sure who will be there but thinking Calgary vs. Hamilton.

I agree - I think the game will be a hard played game and Lawrence will be there but I think the refs will be keeping a very close eye on him and the first time anything of major consequence happens he will be gone. What the Bombers have to watch out for is taking shots at him and getting penalties of their own. This game IMHO will be very close and may depend on a Medlock FG to win it - and given his season so far would be nice to see him win one for us. Also would be nice to see a Richie Hall Defense not give up the ghost in the second half.

Sorry dude - trying to blame this on on the ref's failure to call what Adams did is just sour grapes IMHO. The Bombers offense and defense just plain gave up the ghost in the second half. I believe the office scored 3 points in the second half and we all know what to expect from a Richie Hall Defense - Nothing more to say - A Richie Hall defense will never ever win you a Grey Cup!

Amen! Bombers need to come out in Q3 as if was 0-0 otherwise the Als get back in the game and anything can happen.

I am with you on this one. I like what Peterman brings to the table - reminds me of a bigger Rick House.

NAH! Saskatchewan is not that bad. I have a number of clients in both Saskatoon and Regina. If I had my choice I would rather go to Saskatoon but am in Regina often on business. Great people in both cities.

In Moosejaw hotel at the moment waiting for my ride to the game. Will be sitting with clients (all Rider fans) but will have my Bomber gear on. I am hoping for a clean well played game. No major injuries and whoever wins please let it not be decided by a ref's call etc. Game day weather looks good so far.

This be true - the back to back in Regina will be what it is all about. Going to be a slobber knocker  slug fest for sure! Can't wait. I live in Calgary but have tickets (from my client) for the Regina game. Room's booked and ready to go!

I agree with what you are saying. My major grievance is that despite our record with is great I have great concerns as it relates to our ability to not only win the Cup but just to get there. I do not believe that we will be able to get their unless we can prove we can thrown downfield and stretch the defense. Failing to do that IMHO will doom us when it counts. I also do not believe we will achieve what we all are wanting ( A Grey Cup Victory) with our current QB. This is solely my opinion and I do not expect everyone to agree with it. And as one of my old bosses use to say "Exception Noted".
