gonna be a lot less of the filthy casuals around this place this week too so it's gonna be good in that respect too.

best part was gord miller explaining it away as the game was closer this week... uhhh no it wasn't.

The cherry on top is the Winnipeg fans winning the loudest stadium thing too. Face it Saskatchewan, the Bombers are a better team and Bomber fans are just better fans.

He had some absolutely laughable attempts at tackling today, including the one big play where his epic whiff of a shoulder tackle took out his own team mate who might have had a chance to prevent the TD.

They are who we thought they were.

A few absolute busts by the defense today but they were better overall at limiting the easy passes. Much better performance even if the big plays did lead to some heart stopping moments.

I dunno, I just want to see him playing

POOP!

Unless he is hurt there is no excuse for sitting Poop out. If they insist that Ogopogo has to be in the lineup then I'd rather they sit Jeffcoat even though he's been playing awesome than Poop. Poop plays a different position and quite honestly we need that presence in the middle of the line.

I am more interested in whether or not he would rather be the top scientist in his field or have mad cow disease.

He would improve himself a lot more if he'd shut up once in a while and just focus on doing the PBP rather than trying to add colour commentary as well.

You're wrong.

Hughson is OK, but I think he's gotten full of himself ever since CBC made him their top guy and it makes his call of the game much worse.

All the talk about Wild from everyone even remotely close to the team has said we'll be lucky to see him at all again this season.

Hall can have a pass rush, just need the DL to get after it, and honestly they were heading in that way but the change at DT has impacted that in a negative light.

I predict our record at midseason will be 7-2.

It was pretty consistent in the game though. I mean it's not a huge game changing thing but it shows the kind of class that Riders team has. Guess that's why clowns like Duron Carter fit in with that team.

well he did say play by play so that automatically excludes Dunigan and every other colour guy. As for Hughson, ugh seriously? That guy is so over rated it's not even funny. Cuthbert is so much better at hockey than him it's not even funny. Best in the country AINEC. Though that says as much about the competition as anything.

I can't take Stegall seriously on TSN. He tries too hard to be a character

Engineers are glorified calculators.

The issue is probably that Trevorrow sucks and they wanted to make a good movie.

just think of the possibilities, we could play Knox, Knox and Knox at linebacker!

Yeah except the rules actually read that you are limiting the number of americans not having a minimum required Canadians. That's where the designated import comes in, the numbers work out such that you only have enough Americans on your roster who aren't designated imports to leave 7 Canadian starting positions. You start more Canadians you have american backups who aren't designated imports and they can come in when ever and where ever you want them to. It's the guys with a DI tag that need to replace another american on the field.

I'd take a linbebacker upgrade in a heart beat, I think once everyone is healthy the secondary has less issues. I think the young guys Walker and Alexander have shown enough to give them more time, just need everyone healthy. Linebackers though need help. Knox is no Ian Wild and that position needs more production out of it. Just don't have the consistency there. I can't see the Bombers spending a pile on receivers at the moment. I just don't see them being willing to drop anyone now and giving another big ticket to a receiver. That money could be better spent somewhere else if you ask me.

yeah I can't figure out why people are harping on the defense so much when to my eye they adjusted well but the offense remained stuck in neutral for most of the game.
