Nichols has to get over fear of failure and get over that fast.  Going to make mistakes, just have to make more plays.

Challenging the spot of the ball almost never works but I have never seen a ball spotted so unfairly before. The ref took the ball and placed it two feet ahead of where the pile ended up. On a fumbled snap no less. It was clearly a terrible spot.

I don't know how anyone can defend Nichols at this point. He will always be our limiting player. 
 

The league should be ashamed they put shitty refs like that on the field. Garbage spot on third and 2. Can’ Count the number of missed holding calls. ******* disgrace. 

Refing is a joke. No way they made that 3rd down. Especially after a fumble. They gave them a free yard spot.

THAT WAS SHORT!!!

efing refs really want TO to score.

The Bombers do not have a killer instinct.  They let teams stick around and this is what happens.
 

Time to wake up boys.  TO is taking it to you.
 

What about the double hold.
 

Someone fell asleep in the Matrix.

I noticed they keep showing pretty girls.  Are they trying to drum up business for future games?
 

Let the other teams have competitive games, I've seen enough tight Bomber games, I could comfortably live with stomping teams the rest of the time.

I would love to see a good ol fashion ass whoppin as well.  Been far too long since I felt confident we'd win the easy games.

It's GAME DAY!!!! BEST OF THE WEST vs Beast of the East (Ed Tait TOTALLY ripped this one off of me - jk)

THE 4-1-1
Kickoff: 6 p.m. CT Friday, Tim Hortons Field, Hamilton
TV: TSN, RDS, ESPN+
Radio: 680 CJOB
Vegas line: The Ticats are favoured by two points.
Home/Road: The Bombers are 2-0 on the road this year with wins in Vancouver and Ottawa. Winnipeg is 4-1 in its last five road games, the lone blemish a loss to Edmonton in the 2018 regular season finale in which a number of the team’s starters did not play or had limited reps. Hamilton, meanwhile, is a perfect 3-0 at home this season.
Recent history: The Bombers 5-0 start is the third best in franchise history. The 1960 squad opened with 10 consecutive victories en route to a 14-2 record while the 1939 Bombers rocketed to an 8-0 start, finished the regular season 10-2 and then defeated Ottawa to win the second of the franchise’s 10 Grey Cup championships. The Ticats, meanwhile, have opened with a 4-1 record in their first five games for the first time in 21 seasons.
Series: The Bombers are 64-55-0 all-time vs. Hamilton and 27-32-0 at Ivor Wynne Stadium/Tim Hortons Field.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but I can’t get over this feeling like this could be a trap game. I’m sure O’Shea won’t let his guys be too over confident.
 

I don't wanna get too cocky and chirp too much because I'm a big believer in karma, but man, what I wouldn't give for us to be the new "unbeatable" Stamps, and for the Riders to be a totally shitbag all year...

Go Bombers!  All the way to the Grey Cup and take the trophy home.

why is my beer so salty?

As long as the exit end of the catheter is not the intake for the IV.

My ideal approach...
Prepare like any other week. Have the starters go through the reps and start the game. Then take them out, one by one during the first half. 
Let Nichols start and manage the first quarter. 
Let Harris get the rushing crown. 
Let Bighill tackle a few. 
Then, swap out as many as you can. 

Bo's gonna start chucking it up deep now. Hopefully the fog makes the deep shot a little more difficult

I’m going to give some credit to Mike O’Shea.
The decision to substitute players for the 4th quarter was an important step for O’Shea. It was a must.
When Streveler went in, it was a learning experience. He threw that pick to the sidelines. This was the time to make that mistake..when you’re up by big points, not when #1 QB goes down and you’re pressed into action. Right there, Streveler found out you can’t casually throw that ball to the sidelines. He had to bullet it there. Now he knows. He won’t be doing that again. 
Streveler found out by playing. There’s no other way.
