Somehow the hangover doesn't ever feel as bad after a Bombers win

It's going to be a dog fight in the west this season. Just have to take care of business when we play and everything will take care of itself. If we beat a scrappy Montreal team we going into labour day sitting pretty at 7-2 I like our chances at 8-3 or 9-2 after the home and home against the Riders.

His play calling is average but his schemes and " X's and 0's" are probably the best in the league if not right near the top.

If it worked Lapo would have looked like a genius. I don't necessarily agree with it but we had a few games last season where the gadget play worked and we praised Lapo for it.

What about the man getting these guys the ball? 80 percent passing the ball, 4th straight game with no turnovers, and 10 yards shy of 400 yards, not to mention a modest 27 yards on the ground.

Elite game manager. Nothing to see here

Haha! I mean as funny as it is I don't think we need to snoop to his level. Let the play do the talking. I'm ok with every other team under estimating Nichols.. Just going to make it that much sweeter when we pull out the W

Statement game for the blue and gold. One win out of first. How sweet it is.

I actually don't see Edmonton winning anymore then 12 games which hey is a nice season but I don't see them as the team to beat in the CFL right now. That's still Calgary in my opinion

Edmonton has played Calgary or us yet I wouldn't call them elite just yet. They're a good football team. Are they as good as there 7-0 record indicates? Probably not but give them credit for pulling through in crunch time. Reilly and Nichols are very similar in that manner. Both QB's are one and two respectfully in fourth quarter comebacks this season. I think this game will go down to the wire again. Hopefully we can put a ***** in the armor. If we win we're only one game out of first and up 1-0 on the season series. How crazy is that.

Well for one Glenn always has nearly double the INT's and the Bombers have nearly more then double the wins. So take your 40 old Glenn I'll take Nichols any day. Twice on game day

You would be surprised how many junior/college players use steroids.. There's no reason to believe in a league where the stakes are higher that players aren't using. They're just finding ways to get past the system.

It really shows a lot about your fan base.. The fact DD was considered royalty and now that he's on another team his name and legacy are dirt.

I love Thursday night games. Something to look forward to before the weekend. Get my football fix in nice and early I'll take a thursday game over a Saturday or Sunday game any day!

Side note: Should be a very interesting offseason in regards to QB's. Where will Franklin end up? Does Lulay stay in BC to hold a clipboard even though it's evident he can still be a starter, does Collaros stay in Hamilton, what about the future of aging QB's like Glenn, Ray, and Durant? Should be interesting to see how everything plays out.

You may need to break the bank for him because if you think a 40 year old Kevin Glenn is the answer then think again.

Sorensen being on the top 50 list was an absolute head scratcher. He was pretty bad in Winnipeg and found a home in the starting rotation in Edmonton filling out a need but being far from from a great player. I feel like they just wanted to pick a starting Canadian OL and put him in the top 50 and pat themselves on the back thinking they know more then the average fan.

I'm fine with your post. I'm actually mostly in agreement.. But your use of the word "storey' instead of "story" multiple times makes me wonder if you know the difference.

As long as Dressler is in the line up for when we play the Rough Riders is all that matters. Can't wait to see him torch that defense on labour day

Weird then why trade multiple draft picks for him? It's not like they don't have a capable backup in Bridge in Saskachewan already. Be prepared to be disappointed rider fans.

It was one of the most light hearted football games I've ever been a part of. I think we were up 40-0 at half time. I had around 10 carries in the first half but probably close to 300 yards rushing. Every play seemed to go for a long gain. I played QB the second half and only attempted two passes. I was handing the ball off to kids who never even played running back by the 4th quarter.

Teams rarely throw the ball against Randle. Getting Randle from Calgary was one of the best moves Walters has ever made. He'll never have the sexy stats but his impact on the field can't be undermined.

It was. He has a kid here. He squashed that beef he had in the city years ago.

34 points a game. I think we're doing a good job of putting points on the board and getting the ball into the end zone.

No one uses the spin move quite like Roberts. I was a young kid playing running back back when Sir Charles was in his prime. I remember one game where i used the spin move on the first play from scrimmage on an outside pitch and took it 80-90 yards for a touchdown. That was a fun game. Me and our QB probably used that move successfully several times that afternoon.
