It's game day! The 4 -1 Bombers take on the 1 - 3 Tiger-Cats. Can the boys in blue build on the momentum from last game? The defense allowed only two field games against the Lions, and now they take on the Hamilton Offense run by Dan LeFevour. LeFevour rushed for over 100 yards last game. Can the Bombers D contain him? Forecast in Hamilton tonight is rain in the afternoon which should be clearing for game time, with a game time temperature of 21 degrees Celcius and a SW 15 km/h wind. Chris Cuthbert and Glenn Suitor will be calling the game tonight for TSN. As always, join us in the chat room during the game!

It is the depth that has taken a hit on most teams, and that depth is felt most when injuries hit. Personally, I like that teams are being forced to play Canadian in new ways. Mother is the necessity of invention. Canadian athletes aren't necessarily worse then their American counter parts, they just haven't had the same opportunities, training, and competition. Give these Canadian kids a chance to play against higher competition and watch them grow into gamers.

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Bombers-moving-back-to-CFLs-West-Division-223527041.html Wade was in charge when they made the announcement. I suppose it is possible those talks started with Joe Mack / Buchko

It was the Bombers choice and Wade chose to move back to the West, as that is where we belong.

I wonder if Hoggins was on board with this or if it was forced on him.

I know last year when Johnny Lefever played against us he moved the ball at will. Let's hope this year is different.

Hefney isn't being brought in as a player for the Bombers.

No clue .. I'd even ask .. when did the injury happen? Thought he came out of the game relatively unscathed. Maybe Jay-Z stepped on it.Yep I saw him at the concert and he was having a great time. Didn't look injured to me. So second or third angry post about moore (and other bombers) going to this concert... Im curious, do you believe these guys should be caged up and only let out for games and practices or..? Where do you see the anger in that post?

Here is the problem ... on a good team, Frolik is a very strong 3rd liner, who can play top 6 when there are injuries. Great penalty killer who can chip in offensively. On a team like the Jets, he gets to play on the top 6 all the time. If you pay Frolik like a top 6, you will never get to be a good team because your money is wrapped up in a player who probably shouldn't be there. So yes, a deal could have gotten done, but is it the deal you really want?

Without knowing what kind of money he was holding out for you can't just blame Chevy. If they were asking in the 5M range and wouldn't back down, then sometimes walking away can be a better move then just signing someone and handcuffing your team long term. I would take Frolik in the 4M range. Much more and it is too much.

Not surprising, Bombers stay at 3rd behind Calgary and Edmonton. http://cfl.ca/article/cflca-power-rankings-unbeaten-stamps-on-top-again

Are you really going to call Ray a lousy QB because of one bad game? Games Played: 178 Comp Pct: 67.5 Yards: 47,466 TDs: 251 Ints: 143 Rating 98.0 Grey Cups: 3 Games Played: 219 Comp Pct: 62.0 Yards: 39,418 TDs: 222 Ints: 151 Rating: 90.3 Grey Cups: 0 Guess which stat line belongs to which QB. They've both had long enough careers on good teams and bad to smooth over the "bumps" Is there any situation where you would choose Glenn as your QB over Ray?

Well it's impossible to keep track of all the stupid that comes out of his drool-hole. Yeah, I tend to tune out half way through his sentences.

I didn't hear the Toronto part

No, they are playing in SK, he meant down the highway from Regina.

Will Ford, a few nice runs and a TD

Does the West dominance continue now with Sask and Toronto? Quick score for the Riders.

I voted yes but I do wonder how long his rope is. Very good chance we don't make the playoffs this year with the conference we are in. Do we have to make them next year, the year after before people start calling for his head? When the Wild came back to Minnesota, took them 10 years before they stopped selling out and a winning team mattered more to the bottom line.

After years of suffering through horrible teams, I think a lot of people are still waiting for the bottom to fallout. We will see what this team is really made of after Labour day. But you are right. We are 4 -1, just spanked BC in BC. Didn't even give up a TD. Lets enjoy it.

Reported attendance was around 25k

JFG was nursing an injury. Not sure if he dressed or not, but he was injured.

I don't, because if we had him we were less likely to have traded for Willy. I have seen Kevin Glenn, and I'd rather sift through other QBs to find "the one" then settle for Glenn. Kevin Glenn sits 10th in all time yardage and the longevity he has had in this league shows his ability. The problem with him is he can't take a team on his shoulders and take control of a game. He needs a spectacular defense and weapons around him that allow him to be a game manager, and not the game winner. He is the absolute last QB that I would choose to lead a last minute drive when the game is on the line. 9 times out of 10 he will throw the pick.

We've also scored the most points in the league

It was 3 years ago today that Richard Harris suddenly and tragically passed away. Thought I'd make mention of it since this website's moniker comes from him. Great coach and more importantly, great man. Rest In Peace, Richard Harris.
