    I think Hamilton has a good chance of beating Edmonton. Edmonton was not able to get consistent pressure on Collaros during the regular season and Hammy has not been turning the ball over of late. With Hamilton mostly healthy, this could be an offensive shootout.

    Winnipeg vs Hamilton in Winnipeg. 

    Edmonton vs Ottawa in Edmonton 

    Or 

    Calgary vs Hamilton 

    BC vs Ottawa .

    Winnipeg vs Edmonton 

    It just makes more sense 

    Please explain how option 2 would work in the second round of the playoffs...

    I am NOT a Trump supporter, but I love seeing the media and the polls proven so horribly wrong. If you look all the way down to the basic reason why Trump won, there are two possibilities:


    1. They are incompetent and did not factor in all the variables

    2. They wanted Clinton to win and tried to manipulate voters by posting inaccurate results

    Quite frankly, they got what they deserved - both scenarios leave them with egg on their face. The voters of America sent them a strong message. Perhaps this can be a small start towards unbiased reporting, if such a thing is even possible anymore.

    If Sinopoli was open every play he would have had a career day and so would Hank. Suggesting that he could have set some offensive records but chose not to is just ridiculous, and I can't believe you believed that pile of manure. Especially when he's trying to make a statement for continued employment next year.

    Oh sure, he would tell me that in order to get employed again next year. Nothing was said about offensive records, other than by yourself.  He meant that Sinopoli was generally open as an outlet option, nothing more than that.

    Did he teach you all about taking credit for all good things, but throwing everyone else under the bus when bad things happen to you? That's about the only thing I'd trust his advice on...

    Lol. He actually explained to Chris Williams why he didn't throw to him on a certain route. 'Brad was open, it was a safe throw to move the chains.'

    Believe it or not, I flew to Ottawa this morning and was seated next to Henry Burris:

    Dude is ridiculously into NFL & fantasy football.  His kids play hockey (thank you Canada)

    A few tidbits he dropped about the game and other things:

    1. Sinopoli was open behind our SAM LB almost every play. He said he could have thrown there more often but 'the defense had this one, it didn't even matter.'

    2. Thinks the Bombers are a good team that had an off game. 'We cashed in on that and locked up first place, yes sir.'

    3. He was talking about buying $60 shots of whiskey the night before. One of the coaches walks by and says 'thanks for the scotch. Hank replies 'any time.'

    4. He likes to shoot the breeze with his OL - until two of them managed to move up to first class seats. Pretty big dudes to be seated in economy.

    Nah, they're over-confident and BLM thinks he's invincible.  Edmonton showed how to dismantle them last year and made BLM look ordinary, I don't think this year's version of the Stamps is any better.  It's just a matter of having an opponent perform at the top of their game and play ball from the opening whistle on. (HEY BOMBERS!)  A team with a pretty record like that is never as good as they think they are.

    Or a coach who's waiting till the playoffs to try a certain scheme against them. AKA the Giants finding ways to pressure Brady in the Super Bowl.

    But all the so called "intelligent" posters here swore up and down that our oline was the problem and that Willy was far superior to Nichols. Quite frankly, Willy has looked horrid from the very first snap this pre season, and I'm someone who thought he was Ricky Ray lite in 2015.

    I know how much people love this argument, but he was signed to a big contract and started five games this year - decisions made by professional "intelligent" football people

    Truth be told, Lions, Esks and the Bombers are so close despite differing strengths and weaknesses that you could throw a blanket over all three at the same time.

    When Nicholls is an effective game manager, that is 100% correct. Also, all three teams have issues on D
