Didn’t he do that to the Argos and Stamps too?

Bummed to hear about Randle being cut loose. Him coming over from a perennial contender was big when our franchise was still in shambles. I’m a big fan of his and sorry to see him go... was so sure he’d be a part of the next Blue Bomber championship roster 😢. Wish him nothing but happiness and success.

Well yeah I know this - but many pundits/fans really spent a lot of time pointing out why the Bombers would win handily. In reality it was a hard fought win with both teams giving it everything. Our guys were just flat out better today!

I can understand why it was such a hard call to make, but yeah I’m not complaining either. Thought this mic’d up game once again showed the vastly different character of each coach. Dickenson: screaming at the refs “he can’t do that! Hey he can’t do that!” O’shea: to his players “go get it - you go get it”

Huge win and was it just me or was this almost a trap game in sheep’s clothing? Calgary has looked lost and on the decline (both sides of the ball actually) for a little while now. So on the one hand they come in snarly... while the Bombers are off a 4 game win streak, and a bye week to soak in that feeling where everything was going right. Flat/tight in the 1st quarter but you could see everyone start to wake up and come alive midway through the 2nd. I thought that if the Bombers could just keep it a one possession game, then they’d have a chance to gain all the momentum. Best 3rd quarter all season and what a game to watch! Soooo happy to see the Bombers put it all together in a meaningful, hyped up game in front of the hometown crowd.

I honestly don’t know who’s more annoying, Leafs fans or Riders fans? They both pop up everywhere like a damned fungus and act like their fandom is better and worth more than others... playing like azz at home only makes it more insufferable really rips me up! Need more rye ~reaches for bottle~

Fantastic news on the heals of the 31-0 nothing beat down on Saturday! After Gray was released I was hoping it was just a matter of a time before Walters worked something out. Great Monday so far!

Yes he was... and yes he is!

If I was Jennings I’d fire my agent on the spot for such a stupid public comment. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

No we don’t. We lead the Esks in the season series due to point differential. An Esks win could put us in a spot to potentially chase down Sask for 2nd.

This was a classic CFL game. Lots of offence, lots of points. Our D wasn’t lights out invincible like last game, but still managed impressive stretches mid-game where they iced T.Harris and Powell repeatedly. Also bailed out the O on the fumbles and bad snaps by holding the all-caps to field goals. Sure it was frustrating to watch the lid come off of Ottawa’s potent quick-strike O at the end, but those guys are elite at times (I’m sure R-B fans can’t stand the streakiness of their team). Like I said, classic CFL game. The refs were busy and jobbed the Bombers on wrong calls, non calls, and ridiculous spots. But overall the Bombers played way cleaner than Ottawa and the penalty yardage bears that out. It was great to see Nichols much more back to his old self, especially at this time of year. A win like this sets us up for more than just revenge against Sask next week. Feeling good about this victory warts and all.

Would love to see the Bombers D pick up where they left off and show they can dominate no matter who is on the field. The last month they’ve been on a mission despite a craptastic offence. As for Ottawa... there seems to be this persistent notion that Mark Nelson is still their DC. Noel Thorpe is their DC this season.

Some (mainly rider fans) now saying Edmonton made the Bombers look good by mailing it in... Eskies weren’t just standing around smoking cigarettes - they just got curb stomped by a Bombers team that wanted it more.

Look around the league... battle-tested heart and soul of the team just cranked out a 90 point season while kids like Draisaitl in Edmonton are already 8.5 million and up. Wheeler’s salary is well deserved. The Jets are in this crazy window of ‘win now’ yet still have a surprising amount of cap space. The talented prospects are coming out of the woodwork and are fighting for a spot on the club this year. Need a captain like Wheeler to guide the youth.

The one with Randle’s failed ass-tackle? I thought Sayles 37 was the last one chasing on that one. Maybe a different play you’re referring to. If so... ugh yup just bad all around
