Dumb (and presumptuous) question. I posted an article relevant to the discussion. You know, the part where the previous provincial gov't crapped the bed with IGF and now the new leader is owning up to it.

An 80% comp. rate is nice, even if it's only based on 16 completions. The offense had a short field all night long, so Nichols and co. didn't necessarily have to do much. More points would've been good but I can see why the approach on offense was pretty vanilla. A win is a win is a win. And in this case (on the road against a division rival), it was much needed.

The defense has played pretty well overall lately, perhaps since that embarrassing loss to the RedBlacks at home. To me, this begs the question: has O'Shea started to get more involved in the defense? He did hint at that during the off-season.

Rent free in that mucked up noggin of yours. Too bad it's just empty space.

And in marvelous fashion, no less. A defensive game for the ages.

Maybe the best defensive performance by the team under this regime. Absolutely dominant. Fogg had a monster game.

This is how O'Shea has operated since day 1. Is anyone honestly expecting him to do so differently now? As for the return game, the blocking doesn't appear to be as effective in previous years. I don't think that falls on the returner.

Nah, there is no approach. Don't try and deflect from your error. What I said is your statement the team is currently on a losing skid is not accurate. They just won, thereby ending the losing skid.

This. Harris needs to have a big game against a lousy run defense. Nichols needs to play smart. On D, they'll have to contain and pressure Reilly to keep damage through the air to a minimum. Exactly 52 weeks ago to the day, the Bombers went into Edmonton and got a huge win. Hopefully, history will repeat itself tonight.

You said "current losing skid" despite the fact the Bombers won their last game. You do see the inaccuracy of your comment, right?

No way that happens. That region is too saturated. I do agree that NC is a horrible market for hockey, though.

Not to mention severely unhinged.

And the original transforming sound! Amazing!

The old boys oligarchy!

Well, this is awesome.

Has anyone checked out Craft Beer Market at the corner of Grant and Pembina recently? They renovated and the entire front portion of the store is now single cans and bottles. The variety is incredible.

I would assume Harris finishes the game last week if he doesn't get taken out at the knees by a defender. That was pretty brutal.

Nice job taking the bait.

"Now, now... We should try and understand her point of view and find middle ground," said no rational person ever.

Try reading what is actually posted and then formulate a proper and thoughtful response, instead of going on the defensive. What's fair enough? You've addressed nothing and resorted to deflection. No attempt whatsoever at finding "middle ground," much less engaging to discuss anything in a productive manner. And once again, more misconstruing of what was actually stated. For the second time, I didn't call yours or anyone else's views silly garbage. I commented that the useless FB post you felt compelled to share here is silly garbage. And here's why: it accomplishes absolutely nothing as far as actual meaningful discourse goes. Moreover, if you already knew that, why post it? It's literally no different than if someone posted a hard left-biased "letter" rife with inconsistencies being shared on social media. All it does is spread misinformation, fuel the raging fires of ignorance, and take up space.

Rich comment coming from the guy who once **** on me and erroneously labelled me a SJW merely for having a different opinion. And in what universe is me saying a long-winded FB post is silly garbage misconstrued as a personal attack on other people or on your views? That's quite an obtuse reach. One heavily biased letter from some "person" on social is not indicative or representative of anything, anyway. Misguided speculation and reaching are no way to create productive discourse.
