Bailey was the player of the game for me. Oliveira looked amazing though. Sliced through Edmontons defense and gave us what we needed in the second half. Glimpses of the future

It's all relative. RBs absolutely have without a doubt. They've made a jump since the QB change as well

With Tyrell coming off the roster, you have to expect the Bombers will be keeping that starting american (Hardrick) on the offensive side of the ball. So I see McKnight getting some plays tonight.

To be fair, every team has probably improved. But there was definitely a "jump" we made that happened after the Toronto game.

We are a better team than we were at the start of the season. Our offense has started to catch up to our defense and our defense has improved (especially getting Richardson back). Alford and Nichols have cemented themselves on De'Boundary and Darby has been invisible at SAM (good thing)

Number of Dis is determined by the roster, not the starters IIRC Edit: I think I see what you're saying. But there's actually 6 Americans listed either as backups or kicker

Since we removed 2 Canadians and added 2 Americans I'm assuming we have to sit an American. That and the fact that our roster has 5 Di's.

Unless Hajrulahu or Medlock becomes available I really don't see the Bombers signing any more kickers. They will see if Mourtada can get out of this rut and if not Crapinga may come back to do the job

Honestly it might be impossible to tell unless you are the refs under the goalposts. I'd like to know what the rules are when the ball is kicked higher than the uprights, which Bede does quite often. If the ball is in line with the goalposts does it count? Is there some discretion?

Excellent. I'm only 35

That's why I put the all-star part in brackets. I don't think schiltz is the answer for them but I kind of figured he could be what they needed to win that game given what Adams had done up to that point.

Alouettes always put way too high. They are a pretender and could be without their "perrenial all star" big play VA

How about Alford going one on one with Derel Walker? That kid is something special.

If you are replacing Picton then you'll have to start a Canadian elsewhere. Edit: Nevermind it looks like Riders start more than the required amount.

I didn't say easy. I am just not jumping on the Calgary bandwagon just because of one win at home. And if BC is missing Whitehead for any significant time they are a very average team. Sask will still get Evans back. So as long as they don't implode I still think they are the best of the rest. 🤷‍♂️ It's not really a discussion of who matches up best against us (it admittedly is probably Calgary), just about who I think we'll be playing in the West Final.

Sask may not be the best of the rest. But in every game they fight and fight. That will likely get them to IG field for the West Final.

Have to feel good now if you're a Bomber fan. Up 3 wins in the division with 6 games to go.

I never feel overly confident heading into any game. It's the CFL. But at this rate I feel like Bombers and Riders SHOULD be undefeated the rest of the way. Would love a Rider loss to all but seal first place though.

Lucky seems like an awesome dude. I don't think he deserved to have his wrist broken. That just comes with the territory of being in Brandon Alexander's... territory. Hope it's not as bad as it seems and he can come back and continue his stellar season. And then maybe if he doesn't want to get hit by BA anymore he can join us for next year.

Mourtada's mechanics look great imo. It is more of a confidence thing and getting used to the live action and pressure. I hope those easier kicks will build that base confidence for when he has to kick the longer ones.

From week to week you see this Bomber team make it look relatively easy even when the score is close. The teams in the league know they have to play their absolute best to have a shot. They know they have to fight us in the trenches on both sides of the ball and have a run game to keep us honest. This is finally that game where the opposing team didn't bring any semblance of a run game and looked like a peewee team against our lines. That is a recipe for disaster against this tough Bomber team.

Canadian? 🤦‍♂️ Canadian? 🤦‍♂️ Edit: double post hard to fix on my phone. **** it

Doesn't matter. That was utter destruction. Wouldn't say he had the best game out of all of the Bombers who had awesome games. But something should be said of what we get out of Alexander at the safety position. Set the tone for this game and put the Lions in their place early.

I see an Edmonton D that has been nowhere near the receivers at times tonight. His arm Imo doesnt look pro level. But I could be wrong.
