  1. I would guess Burnett and Tyler will be the 2 inactive players.   It was interesting to compare our Week 1 this year vs last year.   O-Line is obviously the biggest difference and should be vastly improved.   I really like the Anderson/Westerman combination over Thomas/Vega but still worry about our LBs.   I think the Riders will approach the game wanting to test our front 7 much more than our DBs.

  2. I had a look at how many times each team plays on 4 days rest.   We lead the way at 4 times (in each case the first game is on the road).

    In the West, BC, Calgary and Sask all do it twice while Edmonton does it once.

    In the East, Ottawa and Toronto do it 3 times and Montreal and Hamilton do it once.   Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal all have one game on 3 days rest.  (The Labour day home and home between Toronto and Hamilton is on 3 days rest so at least its the same for both teams)

     

    For 3 of our games on 4 days rest, our opponents have 5 days rest.  The other opponent will have 6 days rest (Cgy).

     

    Only once do we face a team playing on 4 days rest and they are at home for both of those games so don't have any travel to worry about. (Cgy)

  3. From the Bomber website

  4. I sense a good percentage of STH's are eternally loyal and would make the commitment as long as there wasn't a severe penalty attached if they couldn't fulfill the commitment.   If 10,000 people took the Bombers up on this deal, it would cost $1,000,000.   I wonder if this was one of the differences in opinion that led to Jim Bell's departure.  As a fan I like it.  If I was the CFO, not so sure.
