Plus, wearing Rider livery outside of the province shows that they could escape if they really wanted to.

If we look at Streveler's performance with a really buggered up ankle, should we accept less from Shoen?

Now, who could have seen this coming?

Bryce Mitchell: Strengths Generally reliable receiver capable of making difficult catches in traffic over the middle or one on one down the sideline. Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed. Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field. Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target. Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts. Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield. He is quicker than fast and lacks elite wheels to simply blow by defenders, but he has good football speed. Weaknesses Hands are good, not great. Will drop some easy balls and sometimes will body catch. Occasionally fails to high point. Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback. Comes off the snap high and upright, and doesn't get to top speed quickly. Not sudden or elusive.

The only constant in life is change.

Ain't nobody there who looks good,

Unusually so?

Bombers almost make enough mistakes to lose the game, but came up short in that category.

When he was on his game, he was a force all over the field on nearly every play, this year- not so much.

Would sound better with a Morgan Freeman voiceover.

Gotta admit that the Argos have built a pretty good team that Toronto probably doesn't deserve.

You obviously have not met the right border guard yet.

This may be the critical concern of the whole game. Kyrie Wilson has not regained his best form and we are going to need him at or near that to contain Adams.

Lions will stack the box in order to take Oliveira away, but that ought to open up the crossing routes, slants and quick outs. Woli/Demski time! And Lawler is way past due to break out.

Agreed. However, O'Shea is not infallible and shows every sign of being human. The criticism leveled at him is justified for the most part, and some of the same concerns surfaced late last season. The Bombers struggled in the playoffs and there is legitimate concern that the pattern is being repeated this year.

It seems to me that the quality of new recruits has fallen off substantially this year. Or the newbies are not being given a fair shot at making the team,

Rating a quarterback on the basis of one play is silly. I should think that every season there are boneheaded plays by many, many players.

Agreed. This was a win that feels like a de facto loss.

Is anyone else still conscious?

Well, there goes the goddam game, Maybe not. UGH

Dare we hope?

Bomber D showing signs of life.

Well, as crappy as the first half was, here's more of the same. And another screwup - this time by Castillo.

Agreed, but the defence and special teams have to step up.

Unless the Bombers get to Dukes a lot in the second half, the Bombers will lose and lose badly. And I cannot see how that can happen.
