TBURGESS

This year's team reminds me of the great teams of the 80's. Expect them to win every time they play no matter if it's at home or not. We kept most of our '19 team while other teams had to re-tool, which helped us get wins early on. Good teams are built from the lines out and we have the best O and D lines. That's where we were better than the rest of the league. Collaros gave us the kind of QB'ing we haven't seen in decades and the defence shut teams down completely and consistently. On the other hand, the level of competition this year was really poor compared to the 80's. We didn't play team that made the post season for almost 2 months which juiced our stats. Ottawa, BC, and Edmonton were all free spaces on the bingo card. Calgary, Hamilton and Montreal were too, for the first half of the year. Toronto and Regina were better than the rest and we were better than them.

These are the best of times in Bomber land and yesterdays game will go down in GC history as one of the best of all time. I'm enjoying every minute of it.

1. Castillo - All the FG's and a couple of extra points on kick offs. 2. Bighill - All over the field. Sideline to sideline. 3. Nichols - Made THE play to save the game. HH: Adams - Not our #1 threat anymore, but came up big when it mattered.

Today my drink of choice will be Gin and Tonic and my dinner will be Nachos.

I resent that.

You're saying that no player should ever throw a ball into the stands? 🙄 OK Boomer.

Keep your eye on the field and you won't have any trouble seeing if a ball is coming. Everyone around here believes a mouthy 17 year old heckler that those dirty rotten Riders specifically targeted him instead of any of the other hecklers in the stands. I understand that he coulda got a broken nose from the frozen football. Musta been really scary for him.

They have to stop Harris from consistently getting 7-8 yards on first down. They need to force turnovers. They need to make their FG's. They need to complete a few deep balls. They need to play an almost perfect game.

MOS should win, because this is the first year he's had a dominant team. Before that he was the coach of a middle grade team, so no one outside of the 'Peg would vote for him.

If you get hit with a ball or a puck for that matter in the stands, it's your own fault for not paying attention. If you think the kid was the only one heckling, then then you may buy a bridge from me. If you think a player would get so annoyed about a mild heckle, then then you may buy a bridge from me. If you think a mouthy 17 year old is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth, then then you may buy a bridge from me. If you're still thinking about the Riders this week, then they are living rent free in you head.

Football player makes a great play and throws the ball into the stands. Fan says it's cuz of the heckling he did and it could have broken his nose. Keyboard warriors use it as another excuse to whine about the Riders. Just another day at the forum.

He who must not be named doesn't count.

Ottawa would give him a starting spot based on his play, just ask PLAP.

I can't see any reason for Streveler to come back to Winnipeg. He's earned a starting spot and the salary to go with it. In Winnipeg he'd be a glorified RB who gets a few downs a game.

Yes there was, but folks were saying it shouldn't have been a penalty because Faj-jj was sliding late. Re Riders Turnovers: The first one was Demski's mistake, one pick was Collaros' mistake, the rest were good plays by the Riders D. Faj-jj had a pretty good game except for the 3 open deep balls that he missed. Those were turning points in the game.

There should have been a 15 yard penalty on Alexander. Not only did he hit a sliding QB, he hit him in the head with his elbow. That's a penalty every single time.

We need to play better this week if we want to beat Hamilton at home. If you look up 'Ugly Win' on google, the first link should be to yesterday's game and the 2nd link should be to the Riders win last week.

I wasn't worried at the half because we were only down by 3. I started worrying when we turned the ball over on downs on the fake punt. If the Riders make the FG, they don't need a TD at the end, they kick a FG and give us the ball back with about a minute left.

A bit of both actually. Peredes lost the Bomber game, a Riders game and the playoff game. That being said, BLM had a bad season and should have been rested more often. Maier looked great in most of his playing time.

Pardedes sank them, not BLM.

Harris practising is great news. We'll know tomorrow if his knee held up.

I think the Riders are better than they were the last time we played them and I think we're better too. I'm looking forward to a real football game instead of a beat down this weekend.

Fun games to watch, but some really bad mistake filled football. Are we that good or is it just that most teams are really bad this year or is it a bit of both?

Personally, I like the trash talk. It adds an additional layer to the week before the game. Receivers should think that DB's can't cover them and DB's should think that receivers can't beat them and so on. You look pretty stupid if you can't back it up but that's part of the fun. Who cares if teams put it up in the locker room? It doesn't really matter. The only thing that matters is how you play on the field.
