Eternal optimist

Well, I wasn't the one who said the Esks wouldn't run it much, but I will own up to the fact that I did say I'd prefer to see the Esks than the 'Riders (using the logic the 'Riders were the better team). Boy did I learn my lesson: When in doubt... Riders' suck.

I guess even the league's best fans know when to beat the traffic.

But then how will I procrastinate? Seriously though it's good stuff.

Sure, but the 'Riders have a tonne of former Bombers that would love to stick it to us on our home turf. Muamba, Marshall, Jovon Johnson .... Kevin Glenn. Also if the snow and cold weather sticks around, the passing game will likely be less important for both sides. I guess gentleman's agreement to agree to disagree.

Obligatory harrumph of discontent on behalf of the private sector.

Contrary to popular misconceptions, when Remembrance Day falls on a weekend (Saturday this year) it is not observed on the following Monday (unlike say, Canada Day) as it is not a statutory holiday. Most people will not get the Monday off. Sorry to be a debbie downer but most people are probably going to figure this out in the upcoming week anyways. That said, I plan on coming into work on the Monday without a voice from being so loud at the game on Sunday.

I think Edmonton is the easier match up for us, but I think the Riders are hot now and are the realistic opponent. I think the Bombers can beat either team, especially if our D shows up as they did last night.

Anytime your defense forces more turnovers (7) than points they surrender (5) - you're doing something right.

Good thing we're starting a QB with a Touchdowns-Interceptions ratio of 11-14 (0.79). Fun (but somewhat expected) fact of the day: LeFevour has more career rushing touchdowns (17) than he has passing touchdowns(11).

Hey man, that's a low blow. No drunk person or individual on welfare deserves to be compared to the lowly 'Riders... show some class.

Protip: Most stadiums let you bring in sleeping bags.

Yeah, I could see that as being a little out of line. Still just ticked they're starting LeFevour over Davis... shouldn't even be joking about more injuries based on what has happened to our team the last few weeks.... so to your comment I say touché, good sir.

This bodes well for the Blue & Gold.

I don't think Lefevour could afford to pay for 46 tickets to the game on his salary...

Maybe if we're lucky, lame-duck LeFevour will throw of his patented suicide passes to Lankford and Washington... then we can airlift in some better receivers?

Even if we won a Grey Cup using backdoor, underhanded tactics as you suggest - it is still cheating and would tarnish that championship forever. I would much rather the drought continue and honestly win a Grey Cup, or try to do so than use those tactics. The "it is only cheating/illegal if you're caught" logic is a slippery slope at best, and led to much bigger problems in other much more real issues at worst. For a fantastic, terrifying example of what happens when an entire industry lies through their teeth, look no further than the housing market crash in 2008.

I just meant starting LeFevour in Davis' place... but I understand your confusion.

Seeing as how clock-and-dagger this regime has been with injuries... is it possible Davis was hurt in the B.C. game, prompting his untimely yank? Would also explain why they'd give him the week off...

I think people are underestimating how badly this regime wants to host a home playoff game. If they feel LeFevour is their best option (besides Nichols)... right now, today...they'll go with him.

Any update on Adams' injury?

Only problem with that logic is you have to go through Ottawa - who have the opportunity to win the GC at home... that stadium will be raucous.

The three possible (realistic) outcomes are: Bombers win, Edmonton wins -> WSF in Winnipeg VS Edmonton Bombers lose, Edmonton wins -> WSF in Edmonton VS Winnipeg Bombers loses, Edmonton loses-> WSF in Winnipeg VS SSK This is why I hate the crossover system - one of these three teams has to go play in Ottawa / Toronto, despite the fact that team will, at worst, have one more win than the first place team in the east. The other thing that is kind of a "pick your poison" scenario for the Blue & Gold is, omitting the possibility of a tie, Winnipeg is going to play a team coming off a 3-game winning streak.

If we're going to be digging up zombies like Carr, I'd give Aaron Kelly a call before Carr. Younger and less removed from the game.

I see your Greg Carr and raise you a Drew Willy.

Our only touchdown was a blocked punt, kick coverage was stellar all night, and Fogg had some nice returns.
