    History has taught me to be pessimistic about the LDC, I still have nightmares from the 2002 Rocky Butler game (so frustrating to see live). However with everything going on right now, this week feels like we are playing with house money.

    Yeah, I feel like the guys playing will have something to prove for their brothers (Nichols and Harris) and will step up.  Its a big game, a split would be huge for the team.  It wouldn't shock me if we went in there and won.  Riders will be pretty cocky..

  9. Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion

    Nichols deserves a chance to work out of his funk.  He has given his all to this organization the last couple years and has won us a lot of football games.  Winnipeg is such a funny sports town, as soon as a guy struggles for a few games it's time to get rid of them (Bombers or Jets).  

    My prediction is that Nichols will play well, throw for over 300 yards and 3 tds.  Bighill will spy Johnny Football all game and make is night a living hell.  Bombers win by at least 3 touchdowns.

    He's also got the most punchable face ive ever come across in all my years on this earth. It really makes you appreciate Bob Irving even more(if thats possible) after listening to that idiot. Which is something i can no longer bring myself to do. As soon as i hear him on 1290 or wherever else(no idea why anyone even bothers asking his opinion on anything CFL related seeing as every word that comes out of his mouth is green diarrhea nonsense), i instantly turn the station. We truly dont know how lucky we are. Bob is so even keel and always maintains his impartiality no matter what the circumstance. Braindead fanboy Pedersen doesnt have an impartial thought or bone in his body. Surprised he doesnt walk the earth with green pompoms at all times.

    He is sickening.  And nobody is allowed to call him out on his bs either.  But he fits in well with that fan base as most of them are exactly the same.

  13. Blue Bomber Attendance

    It takes my wife and I an hour and a half from home to the stadium every game.  It pains me to hear that people in Winnipeg think the stadium is too far away from them.   I would much rather drive to and park at a Bomber game compared to a Jets game ANY day of the week.  My wife (who doesn't like driving in the city) if totally comfortable driving to a Bomber game.  Ask her to drive to a Jets game? Nope.  

    The Bombers have attendance issues, we all know it.  What is the fix?  I have no idea.  The CFL as a whole has been given such a bad reputation by people 20-30 years old, and isn't considered a big time game in town.  I can hardly give away my $100 ticket if I can't make it to a game, which is ridiculous.  

    The Bombers have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly in the last couple seasons, where when there is finally excitement around the team and we draw a good crowd, they lay an egg (except Banjo Bowl).  People around Manitoba generally assume the Bombers are doing poorly, and are always surprised to hear when they win a game.  

    I do think that the Bombers need to make some big improvements to the game day experience to keep those who do go coming back.  Improvements like if they have a band playing at half time, make sure that you can actually hear it in the stadium (that has happened twice now, which is absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing).

    ****, it was that cheap hit to the head that did it, I hate Montreal, they are and always have been the dirtiest team in the league.

    Now, having vented, I was disappointed that in such a lopsided game, we too didn't take liberties, right there tells you there is something missing still from this team.

    Winston Venable issues headshots to the following players in that game... that I can remember... The one to JFG... once to Bastien in the 2nd quarter... one to Matt Nichols (the penalty that negated the red zone pick) also in the second quarter... and one that he tried and missed on Marshall (actually can't remember who it was but I think it was Marshall) in the 4th quarter...

    Yet Jasper Simmons gets fined for a helmet hit.
