I actually like the weird camera angle. Feels much closer to the action ... especially on the third down sneak at midfield ... and on plays where the player is tiptoeing down the near sideline you can see it a lot better.

I think the Ottawa people also deserve credit for upgrading from Glenn to Burris.

WHAT

That Eskie D is looking great again. Zero first downs for the Bombers in the first quarter last week and zero first downs for the Stamps so far this week...BLM with three yards passing...

I want to see an entertaining tie. Edmonton D looks like it's keeping on keeping on.

Can any team in the CFL tackle this year?

Say what you want about Stephen Harper ... but I think the TiCat offence would be better off with him at QB.

Brett Maher = STPOTW Terrible clock management by the redblacks, tho, leaving Ricky Ray with 30 seconds.

...this is turning into an entertaining game.

Ouch. And Kierre Johnson is their #1 receiver...

I spent two long years as a Rough Rider season ticket holder in 1995 & 1996. The team won six games over those two years. You think the Bombers have been a circus the past few years? They've been a Swiss bank compared to the Glieberman / Firestone / Chen years in Ottawa. There are a ton of great football fans in Ottawa, would love to see the Rouge et Noir reward them with a win.

I'm thinking that Willy wanted to hit JFG in flight, but JFG wasn't running and couldn't adjust, and that's how the ball wound up overthrown.

Me and the spouse are checking out some Fringe shows while we're in town this weekend. We're going to see: Aiden Flynn Lost His Brother So He Made Another Caws and Effect Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Hopefully they will be more entertaining than the Bomber game this weekend. Anyone else going?

Had late after-game dinner last night at the Logan Corner Chinese restaurant. It was amazing, much better than I expected for late-night Chinese. The pork dumplings were fantastic; the butter chicken is some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's not butter chicken like the Indian dish; it's battered and fried. Tender, fresh and delicious. Then we had to go out to Crown Mazda to get our car's AC fixed and we wound up eating at Chicken Chef on west Portage just near the Perimeter Highway. Got the perogie dinner. Very good chicken and mashed potatos, but perogies were fried to be hard and dry. Got an enormous portion with tons of bacon for the perogies. I brought home half of it.

pre-game late lunch @ Shawarma Khan for me & the mrs. Delicious, the best shawarma I've had in a while. The hot sauce was choice!

I've been on teams when they believe in one another & no matter if they're losing, they believe they can win. It's powerful, believe me. And a team like that doesn't come together very often. When everyone has each others back & believes the guy next to him does too as well as trusting he will do his job... GREAT THINGS happen. It all starts with the head coach & his coaches... Yeah, the best teams I ever played on weren't dominant, they were the teams that would bail each other out of trouble. D gives up an easy TD or goal? O gets it back. O turns the ball over? D forces a punt or turnover. Those were my favorite teams to play for.

This is the one game I'm going to get to see at IGF this year. When I booked my trip in June I picked this game because it worked with my schedule and now holy crap it's a first place showdown.

Whoah man am I glad I waited to watch the youtube. Helluva game. Thanks again USA.

USABomberFan, you are the man. I was travelling this week and didn't get a chance to tune in live and have been avoiding spoilers in the hopes that the game would be available somewhere. Thanks for coming through for me!

I wonder when we'll see all the plays from training camp that are going to feature Woods in a Thigpen-ish way?

Yeah, big Durie fan here too. Hope his recovery goes smoothly.

Paxson also laid out Glenn with a casual shove after the lateral. Insult to injury!

It's weird that with all the teams that are even more desperate for OL help than we are ... BC, Hamilton, Edmonton ... you'd figure someone would make a move to get Peach. When was the last time a CFL team raided another team's practice roster?

Raw punting yardage doesn't tell the whole story. What's his net yardage after returns and how many times has he punted out of bounds with no return? How do these numbers compare with the rest of the league's punters? Answer those questions and I think we'll have a better idea of how good our punting game is. (Edit: yeah, pretty much exactly what iso said)

Back in the nineties when I played men's league touch football in Ottawa, I wore #59 because of MOS. Always been a huge fan of his and it's so awesome that he's turning the Blue around.
