"Keep the meter running... our QB is on his way out the back door!"

We gotta take this one game at a time, with the personnel that we have.    The reality is that the Bombers do control their own destiny.  We start stringing some W's and we can go into the playoffs with a bit of confidence.   I hope the boys used the bye week to their advantage.
Annnnnddddd.... I still think Nichols can rebound (my medication hasn't worn off completely yet) 

I am saying be patient. These guys got us from **** to a lot of wins the past few years, why throw em all out on their asses at the very first sign of adversity? Let em rebound from this, they've earned that chance. 
 
But no, some of you are just so angry it's hard to believe you are functioning adults. Lashing out demanding people answer for these losses right now! I'm pissed off and I want blood! rabble rabble rabble. 

Perhaps I'm in the minority here but what's not to like about Walters?  He's brought in the talent to rebuild this sad sack team inherited from Joe Mack.   Say what you want but the guy has done a remarkable job . Lest we forget that we had a 3-15 team not too long ago.   The blame should squarely fall on the coaching. I'm running out of excuses to defend O'Shea.   Hall needs to go.  LaPo just looks lost right now.. no imagination again. Just like it was all those years ago.  This season is slipping away and changes need to be made.

Kent Austin is now selling mini donuts?

Or some corrective lenses. "I like where the defense as at."

Have they gotten rid of no yards for this game?  

I gagged listening to him "gush" over the Saskatchewan defence.     How their #1 offence couldn't get anything going against them.    Their offence must really suck with Collaros at the helm then.  It'll show opening day.

I would assume at 75% Healthy Nichols is better than a 100% healthy LeFevour or Davis.     This is awesome news!  GO BOMBERS!!!

Almost live.....I turn on the PVR and take in the Bomber game on Saturday evening.....no one tell me the score!
Amaretto and Coke the beverage of choice this week....as snowflakes visit 'Peg City on double-header day.
Defence looking to atone for last week...with early pressure.
Nicholls tests his arm to Adams over the middle.....who takes a vicious hit for his troubles....and looks like he may not be back for a while.
Jennings deep ball off a bit....which leads to punt to Fogg......who finds a corner and sprints down the sideline...praying for no flags the entire way.
The prayer is answered....first career punt return TD, on his 4th do-over........Joy short-lived as Adams is headed to the locker room.
Defence continues to put the heat on Jennings.....who is throwing it away when he isn't getting drilled.
Andrew Harris reels off a couple of plays in pursuit of 1,000 x 2.....and allows Medlock to expand the lead to 10
Which holds up for most of the second quarter as the punters get a workout.....
Nicholls hard count still fooling teams, as the Leos jump offside twice.......
While the secondary gets some licks in on Jennings as the corner blitz gets called a few times.........
Feoli-Gudino gets into the act and Medlock adds three more and another single....before BC gets a late drive to squeeze out 3 points just as the half is done..
Third quarter sees more of the same.....if you like stalled offences and hard safety hits.....except Loffler takes out his own teammate and not the opposition...
Bombers biggest danger come playoff time may not be the opposition...but their own injuries, as Walker becomes the latest casualty...
Ty Long pulls BC to within 8 after a long distance FG......and the city holds its breath, as Andrew Harris loses his helmet, then lowers his head into a hit....
Yet he comes back, undeterred.......while the body count grows with a BC injury....there will be some ice  bags passed out tomorrow, hard hitting everywhere...
And tempers beginning to flare in the scrums as Bond coaxes an objectionable conduct penalty out of the BC defence on 3rd down......
But Harris turns it over after the BC gift penalty,  only to get another do-over when the Lions forget to count to three (plays off after an injury, that is).......
And then the Bombers start throwing punches.....as the game slows to a crawl.....
Bombers' special teams' unit quietly gets the job done time after time on punt coverage.......while the d-line makes some noise with another sack....
Forcing a conceded safety....16-6 as we hit the 4th.....
Where Jennings tries another long strike downfield.....but his accuracy remains elusive as Fogg picks it off and returns it deep....into Medlock FG territory......
19-6.....and BC showing no sign that they will mount any offensive threat....especially with Mo Leggett making sure tackles on Chris Rainey......
Jennings finally connects on a TD pass.....except it is to a blue jersey, as TJ Heath jumps the route and scampers 64 yards for the playoff clinching TD.....
Crowd rushing off to the Jets' game now......don't miss much......except for two late cosmetic scores by BC  to make it artificially close, no big deal.......
.....and injuries to Okapalago and Leggett, much bigger deal........
Bombers secure a playoff spot, raise a glass and toast them........now drown your sorrows because of those injuries....going to need more amaretto........
 
 

I think the problem only exists because it was preseason.  In the regular season,  saturday night games are always hosted by HNIC.   So Jets fans would tune into cbc , Sportsnet or ctiytv to watch the game (either online or cable).

I've been to many games at IGF and the old stadium.    I was just pointing out that it's the announcers job to try and motivate the crowd.... whether we agree with it or not.  And i believe most of the audience/crowd/fans knows to be quiet when the offence is rolling.  Even if they don't, there's plenty of people to tell them or help them understand. 
And for the record, I want the True North to stay at Jets games.   Bring back glorious and blue at Bomber games.

I'm not sure where all the hate for the "True North" is coming from.  I agree it needs to stay at Jets games though.    It's a fun thing and becoming a tradition , so why not have it?   Is it any less stupid than throwing an Octopus in Joe Louis arena?  Or sounding the Hurricane bell in Carolina?   Seriously, why get all bent out of shape about it?
As for the Bomber game experience... the announcer's job is to motivate the crowd and get them involved.    So telling fans to stand up at Bomber game or encourage the crowd to yell "First Down"  , i'm all for it.      Here's something to consider... if the fans are having fun and into the game... that makes the home team's adrenaline get pumping and they start to get amped.     THIS IS WHY IT"S CALLED HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.

Sounds like some people around here have put the festivus pole up somewhere else.

Given there are starting NFL quarterbacks who miss wide open receivers (It's sports. Mistakes happen shockingly enough), it just goes to show how absolutely clueless this comment is.
 
Players in the CFL are here for a reason. That's not a shot against the league or players, but it's just a fact. You're going to see a lot of mistakes not just by quarterbacks, but at other positions as well because of the quality of players.
 
Idiocy.
