Bomber first possession.....Nichols hits Bowman!
....who drops it.
Harris running well, again.....
Nichols finds Adams wide open 22 yds in end zone, for TD
Blue 2nd possession...Adams takes short dump 25 yds...
Harris keeps pounding.....NIchols hits Adams down to the 5
Harris waltzes into the endzone untouched from the 1....TD
Franklin completes 3 passes, setting up 25 yd FG attempt,,
....that is missed.  All omens looking good for Bombers, so far...
Still looking for Loffler.....
But on O, Bombers have 9 FD and 120 yds for the quarter...
Wilder getting stuffed by Blue D...DT's playing well....
Harris screen pass...then Dressler makes nice catch on sideline.....
Nichols finds Adams down to the 5, Harris untouched (again)...
....on swing pass for the TD....22-1.....with 11,000 unhappy fans....
Bomber O making last weeks 2nd half....just an unhappy memory...
Argos finally mount a "drive" featuring 3 interference penalties on Blue..
After 16 plays.....at least the Argos can chip away with 32 yd FG....
Argo kicker misses that one as well....Fogg runs it out, TO gets nothing...
After another Argo 2 and out....Fogg tries running catch on punt return..
....he misses....Noel gets the Argo bounce....and runs it all the way.  TD
Bombers running out the clock, last minute....until Harris fumbles....
Argo kicker finally pops a field goal.  25-12 at the half
Bombers literally give away 11 points in the final minute....
Another laugher no longer that funny....more gin incoming.....
Blue D line doing a nice job of keeping Franklin in the pocket...
Bomber patchwork secondary, not looking that patchwork.....
Harris turns the corner for big gain, Nichols rolls out..hits Dressler...
Harris rumbles to the 5, then the 1.  Nichols sneaks in....TD
Good response from the Bomber O....Nichols back into groove.
Better pursuit and tacking from Bomber D, in this one
Fogg rolls back in with 55 yd punt return.  Demski takes pass to 15
Medlock puts Bombers up 35-12....gin consumption down.....
Wilder stripped by Jeffcoat....Nevis recovers....
Demski catches ball out wide, but fumbles it.....
...some Argo picks it up....cruses 85 yds for another Argo D TD.
18 points now given up on turnovers....
Nasty habit of no killer instinct at times...
But at least, we do have the Argo O...Franklin dreadful INT to Sayles
Lot of talk about the "Franklin era" this week....pump the brakes...
Nichols to Dressler down to the 20, Medlock makes it 38-20..
...as MOS decides that a 3 score game is better, that getting cute...
Wilder running wide... is not his thing....complete non-factor, today..
Bowman catches one!  Well, on the bounce.....too bad...
...as that one would of been worth about 45 K......
Argos down to their 3rd down....ball stripped by Thomas....
...Nevis recovers, to cap off his strong game.....
Harris rips off 20...still pounding away....must be over 150 now....
Is this guy, the best player in the league?....one could argue....
Argos take time out with 46 seconds left....what for?
To find the airhorn?  To dress Pinball?
Clock runs out....38 to 20, and a much needed win...
Score makes it look competitive....actual game was not....
No reason not to sweep these guys....or keep drinking....



 
 

Please don’t rip me apart for starting a new topic, I really wasn’t sure where this post belongs as I feel it’s more about our patience and our future (even though it’s onviously a lot about tonight’s game). I don’t post often, but right now I can’t hold back, I just keep looking at our team from top to bottom and haven’t felt this good in an eternity. The jury is still out on if Hall is going to prove us all wrong, but that’s about the only bad thing I can say right now. 
Hoping not to get too many hyperbole GIFs in response here, let’s all just be happy haha.

We’ve never developed our own QB like Calgary, BC, and Toronto...
We have no QB depth...
Our scouting department can’t find any talent...
Our Canadian depth is atrocious...
We sign big names for too much money and they end up as busts...
No one wants to play here...
We can’t tackle...
^ things that we’ve said for years, that are actual things of the past
Guys like Nevis, Medlock, Okopogo, Fenner, Gaitor, Bighill, Harris coming here and looking as good or better than they ever have. Bowman smiling on the sideline when he’s mostly catching short passes and guys named Wolitsrsky and Demski are getting the TDs, ready to be a team player and happy to be surrounded by good people. Number 1 embracing number 82 in the end zone after his second TD catch, and walking him in on his first one. Santos Knox being a compete beast.
Listen, one game doesn’t make a season. For years and years, I’ve just wanted one Grey Cup, just one. Now, for the first time in my 33 years as a Bomber fan, I’m not even thinking Grey Cup, I’m thinking “wow, we will be competitive for years to come”. “Wow, we have depth, young guys being groomed to be starters in a couple years, vets who are happy to share the limelight.” I know people rag on Calgary for two Grey Cup losses in a row, but who here wouldn’t have traded places with them the last decade? I’m not being a homer here. We have a rookie QB who just made history. The panel and the commentators were glowing talking about THE BOMBERS - when has that ever happened? Everyone is buying in. I want to win a Cup, but knowing that the Bombers won’t be the joke of the league anymore is an amazing feeling. 
And this team is humble! They take on the personality of their coach, a coach who many were calling to be fired not that long ago. We went through some growing pains but it finally feels good to be a Bomber fan. Again, I’m not saying we’re going to dominate every team, or that we’re even a contender yet, I’m just saying that we have backups at most positions that would be starting on several teams in the league. And if the Strev is the real deal (and I very much believe he is, as do Burris, Dunnigan, and Milty), he could be on our team for the next two decades, because he’s TWENTY THREE. 
Muamba and Westerman had three penalties, our entire team had six. Not long ago we felt spurned by them and now I wouldn’t have it any other way with the personnel on this team. We always say the refs hate us, but even they were kind tonight, or maybe it just shows how disciplined this team is  
Oh, and not sure if it’s been mentioned, but tonight not one, not two, but THREE Winnipeg natives scored TDs. Has there been a team in history that had three hometown players score TDs in a game?
Ok, feel free to rain on my parade or bring me back down to earth. I lurk and lurk but tonight nothing is going to take this smile off my face. I don’t care if it’s the lowly Als, 46 point wins don’t happen by accident, and we all know we could’ve put up another 20 points if it was necessary. 
Next week is another game and another challenge, but right now, it feels good to be a Bomber fan.
NUUUUUUBRADDDYYYYYYY!!!!!

I can’t answer for D or D, but my feature, In Case You Missed It will be on hiatus for a bit while I go on the 6 game IR. It’s a bit of a process to put together that bit and I’m fighting some health issues at this time. I’ll be checking in daily with some minor stuff..and I hope that works out.

I am curious if the trade down by the Bombers with the Lions could also be viewed as a "Geoff Gray is coming this season" move?

The loss of Hurl is going to take some time to get over.  We've all put on a brave face, but at some point we need to acknowledge loss when it happens.  If we don't, the healing can't ever really begin.
 
Hugs.

One might argue that the bombers have employed a great many POS qbs over the years. 

@JohnDHodge
I can confirm that linebacker Sam Hurl will not be returning the #Bombers in 2018. #CFL

I'm not sure if the winter has suddenly got a bunch of people in a pissy mood, but there is way too much caddy / sarcastic remarks and insults going back and forth between a number of posters over the last little while.
As a rule, we really don't like over moderating this place and take a wait and see approach on a lot of the "on the line" questionable posts.  Unfortunately this has led to things sliding too far in the wrong direction, and seems to be snowballing.
It is popping up in more threads than not, and not the kind of discussion we want to be the norm here.
Moderators are going to be taking a harder line on this kind of behaviour over the next little while.  You will get a warning or PM on these questionable posts.    Not going to immediately lead to a banning or suspension unless it become a recurring pattern.  So if you get a warning, take a moment to consider what you are posting that led to the warning.
 

I do not understand the multiple supplemental drafts.  Why the heck weren't they all lumped into one?
Establish a deadline, if you miss it, congrats you are eligible for next year's draft.

I honestly like the idea of taking Vandervoort at 1, and then see what shakes out for OL/DL at 6.
It just scares the crap out of me to go receiver so early.
