Why did the score flatter us?  Take away the fast start for the Riders was the game that one sided? I didn't think so, the difference came from the points the Riders got early and that was the margin of victory. 
You are over reacting to a poor start that they couldn't over come and mistakenly thinking the entire game went that way. It did not. 

Im not sure id consider what the riders did by faking injuries being outcoached.. I actually think its poor reffing and if refs had a sack.. Hed put an end to it immediately. The riders made a mockery of the game.. Thats not being outcoached... Its being assholes. 

Funny how Hurl gets his missed sack brought up all the time yet Westerman and Jeffcoat both had the exact same thing happen and no one talks about it at all. 
Missing a sack on Durant isn`t the worst sin in the world, the guy has made a career of not going down in the backfield when you got him dead to rights. 

How many 5 - 10 yard passes did Nik Lewis catch on 2nd down?  You would think they would lock in on the guy?
 

HH goes to my wife who put up with my yelling  and swearing last night and didn't once tell me to STFU.    It must be love  

Well, let's not forget a couple things.  This game is always huge because it's the biggest CFL rivalry, and it's one that SSK will always come ready to play in and as we all know, records go out the window on Labor Day.  And as usual, we can expect that new stadium of theirs to be sold out and romping.
 
But as far as whose team is doing the best overall, clearly it is the Bombers.  Now it doesn't mean we win on Sunday.  We've had a 4-game win streak against them which is one of the longest we've had on them in forever.  At some point, it's going to come to an end and I suspect they're going to leave it all on the field to try and give it to us.  But just as in 2013 when our bad team beat their Grey Cup winning team, it did not mean that there was a debate about who was better.

Well take away the 2 games and we are 5-2..Sask 3-4.
We won the head to head, but wasn't because of the missed field goal...the miss played a part in it, but that comes down to Wpg having a better FG kicker then..no?...sign of a better team.
Factor in our first game of the year, after a week off...we should have lost..but didn't
Montreal actually other than the T.O blowout have played tough games...heck beat CGY as well so they aren't really a free spot on the bingo card.  Wpg didn't really get stomped by the Stamps either...leading at halftime, a stupid goal line penalty and a pick 6 combined with Nicholls worst game in Wpg doesn't really add up to a stomping. 

Austin stepping away with an acrostic message
"We All Now Know Every Really capable coach must retire someday."

Don't wanna count any chickens before the eggs have hatched, but I remember reading this piece on Wade Miller when he first got hired for the job, talking about how the guy has basically never failed at anything he's ever set his mind to. The Booster Juice franchise into the whole Pinnacle Staffing thing...he's always been successful. You might not always agree with his methods, and I know personally of people who quit the WBB FC (behind the scenes office gigs...accountants, etc....) because of him, but, if the guy has indeed built a long-term successful brand, then you can't argue with the results...

It just goes to show though that, organizationally, we are starting to make the right decisions and are allowing individuals to develop and grow in the roles they've been placed in.  For too long we were knee jerk .. making changes because we didn't realize the success we wanted ..  these guys committed to doing things their way and are allowing it to play out, regardless of the outside pressure.  It's paying dividends.

Best coach we've had for this team in a long time.  Say what you will about Berry or Lapo .. but Mike has grown into the role and we are seeing why he was so highly regarded.
He, Walters and Miller have really helped change the culture of this organization. We are only now just reaping the benefits.

Incredible gift you have TrueBlue4ever. Excellent touch to add the photo of Cactus. 
The halcyon days and Nick Hill references bust me. 
 Your choices are spot on. How many Sidecars did you indulge to create this superb reproduction? 

Well friends, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers marched into La Belle Province tonight trying to get to 7 wins by the halfway mark of the season for the first time since the halcyon days of Kahari Jones (editor's note, actually they were 7-1 back in 2011), and more importantly to keep pace with the leaders in the Western conference heading into the Labour Day weekend. And despite the temptations of St. Laurent street, which has led more than one young player astray in the wee hours of the morning, the Bombers showed no ill effects as they jumped out to a 10-0 lead before the teams switched sides for the first time. But as we have come to expect with this team, nothing comes easy for them, and close games that come down to the wire are as predictable for them as it is to hear Nick Hill saying "Come ooooon down" during our commercial breaks. So it was no surprise to see the Alouettes storm back and tie the game up with a last second field goal to send us into overtime all evened up. But a little extra football never hurt anyone, and the Bombers got the job done when they needed to, and it all turned out nice again.
Now as is the custom after a game, I bestow the Happy Honker award on a player that in my mind is the most deserving of it. Now as you know, the Happy Honker ward does not usually go to the best player in the game, but is given to that player who did something just that little extra special, that made you stand up and take notice, that maybe made an impact on that one play. And for 60 minutes it looked like that player who was going to receive the Happy Honker Award was special teamer Ryan Langford, who ran down Stefan Logan when it looked like he was going to return kick all the way for a touchdown, which of course led to Maurice Leggett corralling a fumble 2 plays later and the All came away with nothing when it looked like they might get 7, and with the game going to overtime, those lost points certainly cost Montreal.
But the game did not end after 60 minutes, and so the Happy Honker does not stop there. We got an extra game, 2 extra games in fact, and therefore this Happy Honker is all about 2. In the first extra session, on down number 2 at the opposition 10 yard line. Matt Nicholas hit Clarence Denmark, who 95% percent of people may want to get rid of when the Bombers sign Derel Walker, or so I have read, and Denmark made a great grab, changed hands with the ball, and stretched over the goal line falling down for touchdown number 2 on the night, and that was a touchdown the Bombers absolutely needed to keep their hopes alive in the end, so that is Happy Honker #1. But as I said, this Award is all about 2, so there is a second Happy Honker tonight. In overtime #2, Darian Durant threw a pass over the middle but failed to see Chris Randle cutting across the field, and Randle made a beautiful play to get interception #2 on the night, and all that was left was for Justin Medlock to kick yet another game winning field goal to send the Bomber fans off happily into the night, and with it 2 points for the Bombers in the standings. So my 2 Happy Honker Awards tonight go to Clarence Denmark and Chris Randle, for 2 big plays on 2 overtime drives that gave the Bombers 2 big points.
 

If the ball was knocked loose by the hit from Leggett's hand, the fumble location is obviously the spot of leggett's hand.

Absolutely agree... in the shot from inside the endzone, it looked like the hit popped the ball loose, and from the other angle he was hit back around the 2 or 3 yard line, so based on that, I believe the ball was loose before he crossed as well.

1 Darvin adams. 5-88 with 2 big big catches. 
2 harris Churns and burns for over 100 yards combined. 6.5 YPC. 
3 Randle 2 picks from the man on the island. 
HH denny with the circus  catch, TWICE. 
Honorable mention to MO. Sack, forced fumble fumble recovery. 

Could not stand the TSN coverage tonight. Seemed like they just came up short of having an iso camera on Nik Lewis all night. Wish I woulda been setup to listen to CJOB instead of TSN. All bloody night Nik Lewis

How can TSN not have cameras on both sides of the end zone?  The angles for the possible fumble on Montreal's overtime TD was horrible.  I think it may have been a fumble.
 

How those guys don't get sick and tired of hockey / Jets talk is beyond me. 

This is done by random draw each game.

The closer the lot you park in, the longer it will take to get out.  That's the reality of it right now unfortunately.   This goes for "I" lot, where I believe you parked, as well as U lot and VIP parking on the footprint.  I tell people ahead of time that if you will be in a hurry to get out at the end of the game, to park in "Q" lot or even better, save yourself $10 and park in the Value lot.  Those are the best options from what I have heard that will get you out the quickest. 
**For everyone reading this, there is an exit plan in place after every game in order to help keep things organized and flowing as best as possible.  There is no easy option.  Our goal this season has been to have EVERY lot emptied within 45 minutes after the game, and so far so good.  This may seem like a long time for some people, but it is the new normal and still way faster than pretty much any stadium in the NFL.**

I'm glad 1290 is putting more into the Bombers and the CFL in general. I get frustrated when they spend crazy time on hockey when the CFL season is in full swing and the hockey boys are still in the gym, and golfing.

I think this sums up Medlock quite nicely. When he comes out I view the kick as automatic. No matter how far away.
The wind in Hamilton was stupid, and he laughed at the movement of the ball on the one that he missed when the ball made a right turn just before the posts. If you noticed, he kicked several more into that crosswind and aimed directly at the left post and was successful.
I've always loved watching him kick the ball.

Pretty much identical to last season: injured in late July, missed August, returned for the home-and-home vs. the Stubble-jumpers. Here's hoping he can repeat his back-to-back performances in those two games.

No one in the history of the CFL has ever done 1000/1000 rush/rec. If Harris can do that he is the MOP. Since he is on pace for it right now that makes him my choice for MOP up to now with Nichols nipping at his heels.
