Harris and Nichols were the catalysts of turning us from a perennial bottom feeder to a perennial playoff team. While Nichols helped get the ball rolling Harris was the ball itself. Without Harris there is likely no trade for Zach in the first place as I doubt we are even talking about a playoff run in 2019 at the trade deadline. I will argue until I'm blue in the face that Harris has been the most important Bomber of my entire time as a fan (which goes back to the late 90s). I include Milt and Zach in that statement.

The recent weather will probably be good for the team on the field but maybe not so good for driving last minute ticket sales.

Tell me about it! I can’t focus on work or anything else this week. All I care about right now is the game on Sunday. It’s been a long week.

I do agree but single elimination games will always worry me. Give us a best of three and I’ll bet my house on the Bombers every time.

If we can’t pull off the three-peat I would be happier to see Harris get another ring than have any of the other teams win it. Does a healthy Harris even come back as a starter for TO though? AJ has done pretty well for them.

This has aged well. With the Riders playoff hopes hanging on by a thread I feel even better that if we had to lose a game it was against Hamilton. That is one loss this year that I will gladly accept given the circumstances.

It sure is. Three years also. I’m not used to seeing deals that long in the CFL.

Harris, Lawler, Stove... Most of our biggest free agent losses have ended up injured this year.

Should we interested in Desmond Lawerence?

I’m sure the boys aren’t even thinking about that. One game at a time. Right now their job is to prepare to take care of business against Edmonton.

Yep. The O wasn’t perfect but played good enough to win. The D played awful today.

True! 12 and 2 is another wonderful silver lining. I’m definitely worried about this defence though.

By losing to Hamilton we have now made it a bit harder for Saskatchewan to cross over. That’s the only silver lining I can take from this one. Hopefully this thought can help some of you feel better about today as well.

Defence having a terrible day. Are all the injuries finally catching up with us or is this just a blip?

I’m sure the announcers said he is the second most targeted Bomber this year. Obviously not being injured for any games has helped with that and targets per game may put him lower on the totem pole but he has been looked for. That said he’s played well all year and I’m glad to see him get some numbers on the stat sheets to validate that.

Geez BC looks like a mess. Pipkin was pulled too early I feel. Adams isn’t looking very good at all on just a few practice reps with a new team.

Yeah, we broke them.

That wasn't quite enough for me. Against Calgary he had a game you should be able to expect from any pro on any night. That didn't make up for the Montreal game. Yesterday did.

To me getting that punt off versus having it blocked or being tackled for a TOD was just as big a play as the 55 yard game winning FG. Leggs erased that Montreal game from my mind yesterday. Great game from him!

That is an awful looking collection of LBs. Yikes!

This game always scares me. There were too many years where we were significantly better than the Riders but still somehow lost (Rocky Butler and Michael Bishop games come to mind) and I'm still suffering PTSD. That said, we seem to have flipped the script in their new toilet bowl stadium and we definitely are a much better team, so I remain cautiously optimistic.

Mmm… Laphroig. Islay scotches are definitely a cut above the rest.

I expected nothing less.

The Trestman experiment probably soured a lot of potential NFL interest when looking at CFL coaches.

Well, we did have Fred Reid in 2009 so he may have won a few games.
