I would hope we learned from last time not to risk being short on the roster

Agreed, I hope they brought someone else this time. 
Even then, I don’t like the idea of missing Demski with the offence is just turning it on, but if he’s hurt why not just sit him? 
 

I get they’re trying to clinch first, but this is not the game to risk losing a guy long term. 

I don’t want to see then run out a field hospital in November again. 
 

Shivers also got his CFL start working with Don Matthews in BC, kind of makes sense. They both prioritized talent over character.

Shivers is why so many of the fans are OK with the shitty attitudes. Most of them jumped on the bandwagon in that era so to them that's just how it is. 

Shivers was good at finding talent, but his past led him to be a real ******* of a person.

Agreed, that era built their current bandwagon. Before the Shivers/Barrett years, their fans never seemed as douchey.

Funny in that game Osh with an after the whistle cheap shot on sideline to cause a Lil scrap...do as I say not as I do lol

In response to Mo Kelly legit beating up Prefontaine on the field lol. Wild stuff in the 90s.

Blount! Dubuc! Fleming!

Good times.

In an alternate universe somewhere there is a statue of Jay Walker outside of the stadium in Point Douglas.

Jay Walker with the the best performance out of nowhere since, ironically, Troy Kopp.

Or the old Canada Packers site! 
 

Also, Mitch Running could have been a star with a better QB.

Calgary Stampeders Classics has uploaded a real interesting old Bomber game. This is the Jay Walker game from 1998 where JW looked real good beating the tar out of the Argos at the tail end of a lost season.

That was the only game he ever played for the Blue, he wanted more money than Ken Bishop wanted to pay for a guy who might well have been just a one-game wonder ... but I've always wondered what might have been if Walker had been in the mix in 1999.

 

I was at that game. My Dad still swears Jay Walker was the one who got away. 

If Demski can’t go I think they should move Clercius inside and bump Lucky out to wideout.

I think Hamilton is gonna find a way...

If they get in, I really think they’ll get to the cup. 

I saw @BBRT over there calling them out for it. Good on you man. 
 

I get that it’s  sports, **** talking is a thing. 

I mean, we call riderfans inbred or worse (though quite honestly some of that should probably stop as well) . 

Point is, leave womens bodies out of it, this is 2024. 

As the father of a daughter, that crap gets me mad enough to sweat like someone from Saskatchewan trying to read.

The difference is how many big plays we gave up. 4 different players with huge plays, 25, 47, 42, and 37 yards. Rankin had two huge runs of 30+ yards then brown had a 25. That’s pretty wild. We got gouged bad on the ground again despite being well ahead. 
 We need to clean up gap cancelling and getting off blocks as well as tackling. 
 

That is true, especially the second half the tacking was pretty poor.

I think we still need 1 more bigger LB to clean up behind the LOS. 
 

We can get guys into the backfield but we don’t have any LBs that step up to hold runs in the 2-3 yard range, it’s almost a guaranteed 8 if the back crosses the LOS

Back in nineteen dickety two....

Press box bugs? Highly dubious 

What a pleasant surprise to wake up to

Love when the Lions lose on their home network broadcasts. 

 

My 1999 Bomber season seats tell me that last night wasn’t even a really rough game for the Defence though. 
That was 100% a Kerwin Bell garbage time performance by the Elks. 
Reminded me soooo much of those late 90s Bomber teams that would be down 35-1 with like a 49-29 final.

I'd like to see Hamilton sneak into the playoffs. A QB like BLM, even at 70% of his previous self, makes the playoffs more interesting. 

Bomber/Ticat Grey Cup game again? 👀 
 

Had it on for 10 seconds. Heard the commentary team. Off. I can’t watch this. 

1. Zach- Kind of surprising for this season, but legit one of his best games as a Bomber, if not the best.

2. Kenny- Showing everyone he’s still the best receiver in the country. 

3. Brady- Just dominant. I don’t know what it would take to beat out that TD catch and run for CFL play of the year. 
 

HH- Clercius. Great mucker already, and a solid 4/5 option to boot. 

Crunch- Alexander for knocking an Edmonton slot into next week away from the play. 

Turd- None. Edmonton players acting fools a bit at the end I guess. Purifoy being himself but nothing overly turd-ish.

.878 win rate since 19 wooof! 

Man, we nitpick on here ( and rightfully so a lot of the time) but for real, I grew up in the 90s and 00s daydreaming of the Bombers being like this.
In perspective, it’s pretty damn awsome. 

While we’re on bad commercials, what in the blue **** was that table ad? 

Bombers now 9 years without a losing record in the regular season

I looked at my wife and said I think I just saw the most irritating commercial I’ve ever seen.

Reminds me of the cheap local ads they used to show on the old Channel 7. “Second Encore’s got…karaoke!”

 

That’s only 75 cents Terry, for **** sake

Offense finally just firing on all cylinders. 

Gotta yank the starters now. Really want Wilson to get some reps at QB. No sense risking injury now. 

Risking injury, extremely valuable backup reps as well. Especially given our current QB room. 

1-877- KARS FOR KIDS…

Lol @ Paddy “I told you you’re the ****** best”
