Looked brutal. I had something relatively similar happen playing baseball, when I went to barehand a ground ball and it didn't turn out too well. Snapped fingers back, and while it didn't break 'em, they were in a splint for awhile. I can only imagine how much worse it was for DW, 'cause they REALLY bent backward.

he'll just have to throw left-handed next game or just hand off on every down. It's just Montreal anyway so our D is probably going to score two or three TD's on their own.

I thought the o-line struggled when Greaves went down... any updates on his status?

Yeah I was wondering that too. I am assuming that we will get an update at some point this weekend on Greaves. It always causes havoc on the line when an O-Lineman goes down during the game. I was going "Oh no" when I saw Greaves go down. At least the Bombers struggled through the adversity and prevailed. I was impressed with Ottawa's O-Line play as well, pretty good for a bunch of cast-offs, and the rookie NI they have playing tackle did well too I thought.

he said on TSN immediately after the game "I'm on a lot of drugs right now, so we'll see how it is later"...hoping that it's not massively black and blue this morning (his hand)...

Well I have to admit I just about filled my pants when I saw the replay of Willy's hand bending backwards like that.

I'm kind of disappointed. He threw for 308 yards in week 1 and only threw for 307 last night.

 

If he throws for 306 next week, I think we should hand the ball to Brohm and see what he can do.

 

Just kidding. The last we had a quarterback throw for 300 yards in back to back games was September 12+19, 2009 with Kevin Glenn.

 

Wow.

Not only that, I think Walters and O'Shea have to go. That performance last night shows that Walters just can't find talent and O'Shea is clueless as a HC.

Then there's the "Ohhhhhhh" line....

Ottawa's running game may be worth watching too...

This is like that time that the Bombers sat Westwood and the camera kept panning to him during the game in his street clothes standing with Matt Sheridan, looking all hang-dog and morose.

I think you underestimate the players we have defensively. There are a lot of good talented players on this defense. Particularly in the secondary. When I look at the receivers Ottawa is trotting out I give an edge to our secondary without hesitation.

I underestimate them right now on purpose. We've seen only one game from this crew. When the defence goes out and dominates in the next 4-5 games, I'll give them more respect in terms of their talent. I want to see the kind of performance they had against Ricky Ray a few more times.

I would think he needs to be here to force them to release him. He says I'm here ready to practice and then they either have to pay him to be on IR or release him. They can't suspend him because he's disgruntled. They can suspend him if he's sitting at home and not participating.

Enough with this well-reasoned logic - this thread is exclusively for half-baked conspiracy theories. Take your nonsense somewhere else!

Maybe he's here to secretly kidnap O'Shea right before the game starts, then Banks himself takes over as head coach with a goal of sabotaging the Bombers. Bryant Turner's new son shows up and kicks the crap out of Banks and coaches the team to victory. Just a rumor I heard on twitter...

Well here's a picture of Bryant Turner's new addition, and I believe that it's a "she"....

My fondest hope - one day she marries Chase Stegall and they have twin boys, one who becomes the CFL sack leader for 12 years straight, and the other one who ends up breaking all of Chase's receiving records, because of course he's going to break all of his dad's records when he is signed by the Bombers in 2025.

The D is another matter but I suspect that they'll simply outmatch Ottawa because let's be completely honest here, they don't have a lot of talent outside of Burris.

I don't want to confuse talent with heart. Right now, I'd say thanks to O'Shea and co. on the coaching side, we've got brains and heart. That goes a long way in football. Talent-wise, I wouldn't say we're much better than Ottawa. Where we'll beat em is if we can out think them and out-work them. The key will be getting Hank to turn into Frank, which is all about getting through their O-Line and containing Hank so he can't beat us with his legs.

Not me, I go after their pair of rookie halfbacks early and often.

I want to see how their rookie NI tackle handles the blitz, coming from 10 different directions.

How does he have nothing to show for it? He's playing for the RedBlacks based on the bonehead GM in Ottawa who can't recruit a kicker to save his life.

FYP

Not to be a Donald Downer but the ticketmaster map offers a different story.  29000 would represent 3000 or so sold in 24 hours.  But you never know.

Which now will forever be known as "The Stonestreet Bump". (Colbert reference)

Alright, after reading MOS' comments in the FreeP about this, I realize it's a non-issue. I take back any previous statements of negativity toward BT...

Non-issue indeed. It was handled internally. At least until the baby came out, then it was handled externally.

Fraser is a liability at safety sometimes. He started in Calgary but moreso because of the ratio & where Huff wanted to play his Nationals. Fraser can't seem to get over at times to make the plays he needs to. Hopefully we can take advantage of that & go over the top on their secondary a few times.

Too bad that the REDBARFS didn't sign Cauchy to be their safety. I'd just love to see us take on a secondary with JJ and Cauchy out there, whiffing tackles and misjudging patterns.

This would have been me this year seeing Henry Burris in a Winnipeg uniform:

I think Cam is funny and the eye-candy on the show is great, but Phil is my favorite character, if only in how he reminds me of my brother-in-law and how hard he tries to keep up with current trends to stay "hip" to his kids, only to look even more un-hip by doing it.

YOU'RE WELCOME FORUM!!!

My god I hate you.

what's with the two acronyms? Is this some lame bilingual thing? Why not just put out an English and French depth chart?

Is Ottawa actually starting 5 Canadians on their OL?

 

Menkin is an International. Hopefully our pass rushers can burn their 2 rookie OT's

 

They starting 8 Nationals though. 6 in O 2 in D.

Just checked and yes Menkin is an "international". Perhaps the Ottawa guy drafting up this depth chart should have paid more attention to that than making it bilingual. That receiving corp. is really putting the fear into me all right. If they light us up it will be a tribute to the athleticism of Henry Burris. He's going to have to be on every night to make that corp shine. He can't afford to turn into "Frank" and start his cry-baby routine. Not for the fat cash that Ottawa is paying him. Even if he lights us up tonight, still so very glad that I don't have to swallow my bile this year watching him play for us.

Also looks like they are starting a rookie NI, Macmillan, at tackle. I really hope we make them pay for that.

I might be in the minority but I like the elddest daughter and the blonde milf the best.

Julie Bowen is still pretty hot all right.

Just guessing, but all you MF fans loved 30 Rock and Arrested Development, right?

What Clicked Wednesday

Modern Family was the night's biggest show among viewers (11.4 million) and crushed everything else on TV in the key demo of adults 18 to 49 (4.1 rating). Here's how dominant Modern Family was with those under 50: It out-rated its closest demo rival, CBS's Criminal Minds (2.8 rating), by nearly 50 percent.

Modern Family isn't a hipster show. It's actually really hilarious!

Just curious why Eric Stonestreet is in Winnipeg? Is he in a play or something?

CKND just announced

Did I just time travel back to 1995?

He was probably scared the Jets might make the playoffs this year.

I actually wanted to watch this game since I missed it.... I went to watch when they were replaying it last night and I only lasted about 5 minutes cuz I couldn't handle Rod Black.... I really wish they had made Rod Black the panel host and given the real talented Rod (Smith) his pbp position... or just get rid of Rod Black all together...

Speaking of replaying it - who the hell decided that the game of the week to replay should be that crap-fest Rider game? What a joke!
