So a couple things..... -Stamps starting virtually everyone important....going to look like a 1st preseason game out there... -Bauming almost certain that The Fever gets the start....

Because starters on both sides of the ball for both teams will be sitting.......it's a glorified pre-season game. Yeah, there's technically something on the line, but it really means very little. That, combined with the weather factor, means you can't use this game to judge anything.

Using this game vs Calgary as any kind of litmus test is completely ridiculous....

So bauming asked him exactly this, and here's MOS response:

@DarrinBauming Reading between the lines here, I would bet Dan LeFevour gets the start Friday in Calgary. #Bombers Andrew Harris "ran around" today, and Timothy Flanders practiced, so that's another critical position on O still to be determined for Friday Travis Bond did not practice today, and I would think he's doubtful for Friday. Pat Neufeld has filled-in extremely well at LG. #Bombers

Not to start this whole thing again, but y'know, they do have incredible sturgeon fishing in Minnesota, too......

This is super ****** up....seriously.

I get to see the Bombers play live maybe 3 times a year... I would never miss an opportunity in the closest place to my house. I don't care if it's -50 and a blizzard. Bombers live is everything...

Beyond useless??? We were a kick away vs Toronto and a starting QBs calf muscle away vs BC this week, losing by like 9pts. Jesus Christ. We're not getting pumped in all 3 phases and losing 55-0....

You want to hire a former GM to be a "scout" minion for Walters? No, that's ********. You need someone who's just a scout, period. Maybe someone who has dreams of one day becoming a GM, but is working their way up the ladder......but you don't want someone who thinks they know better and is going to do things their own way. Barker and Taman (who I love, btw) are awful ******* ideas and anyone who brings that up is insane for a lot of reasons. That scouting kid that we lost to the NFL....the young one.....that's the kinda guy we need right now.

He's out...it's official. Won't dress this week.

If they get 20k in there Friday night, I'll be shocked....Calgary is one of the most fair-weather sports towns going, and the forecast is for **** on Friday night. I'm wearing full ice-fishing gear!

**** you guys are insane right now...amazing what a couple losses in an 11-win season will do. We don't need a GM.......I'm not even sure we need to "fix" the scouting, but if we do, we just need someone down south who can find bodies. Not someone up here that does player personnel day to day...

also have to keep in mind how difficult it is for the D when the O can't sustain a drive and give them a break.....

pleeeeeease lock this thread.......

Far more concerned with going through Toronto...

the story about Steven Seagal and Katherine Heigl made me sick to my stomach last week. I think everyone knew Hollywood was sleazy, but I'm not sure I knew it was THIS bad....like really, crazy, brutal bad on women and minorities.....Christ.

Everyone's is! It was a known fact going into the 2017 CIS Draft that it was one of the weakest in years...

It's always so funny when I read stuff like this. Pittsburgh D had like 5 turnovers in the first half of the first period. Murray got ZERO help in front of him, but hey...he let in 5 goals or whatever, so he's "teh shits".... then the poor DeSmith kid who comes in, and within the first minute, another brutal turnover, and Wheeler makes an INCREDIBLE move on the defenseman and puts a backhand top shelf....what the hell's he going to do? I almost...*almost* felt bad for the Pitt goalies. Except **** 'em 'cause it's Pittsburgh, and yay Jets....

So Irving reporting that Harris is good to go and will play this weekend, but Nichols "Not so much...", for what that's worth. Regardless of what's wrong with him, hopefully Davis is put in a position to succeed and looks better than he did last week. Curious to know how much closer (if at all) Flanders is this week. Hoping we'll have everyone that's not "done for the year" ready for the 12th...

I have faith that if they know Davis is starting this week (he should be...) then they'll tailor a game plan to play to his strengths this week, and he'll look more like he did in the pre-season games. This Friday night should basically be a glorified pre-season game anyhow, so let's see it. If the guy pulls out a win, call it a bonus.

I'm CERTAIN Milt still could....

I don't give two shits where we play Nov 12....Dom Davis HAS to start this week. No chances with Nichols.

Davis has a rocket arm... We've see it! That's what was so maddening about his performance on Saturday.... We've SEEN that the guy can play well! I dunno what the hell was going on out there...

Qft. When this team was healthy and winning regularly, I haven't had this much fun watching Bombers football in years. Love this team and the management we have running them.
