If I had to put money on any QB in the CFL who could protect the lead, it would be Ray. If his receivers can get open he will find them- the Argos seem to have given up on the running game for the moment.

Would love to see the Stamps get their butts kicked due to their arrogance.

With all the hype about the Bombers being soft on the run to begin with and and now missing three starters on their front seven, might a smart BC coach anticipate that the Bomber D will be hugging the line? Then the vulnerability would be in the 10-15 yard zone with the odd fly pattern for the home run ball. Glenn may not have the arm for a 40 yard breakaway pass, but he has been darned good on the short and medium passes.

And we may now not have a front 7 capable of stopping anyone.

The boast makes for good media attention, but little else. Harris is one of the best running backs in the league and a darned good receiver to boot, and he has to be excited at the prospect of attacking the depleted front 7 of the Bombers. The Bombers are going to have their hands full. We are going to see if the running game is as trivial as Coach O'Shea says it is.

Ford's best year with us was running for 594 and receiving 41 with a total of 3 TD's and 2 fumbles he lost. Grigsby so far has 623 yards running... 341 receiving with 9 total TD's and I believe 0 fumbles lost..... You may want to rethink your opinion on Ford. OK, Ford may not have been the best example. My point still stands that Grigsby has yet to make his bones.

That's why God created caffeine- the oil which makes western civilization tick.

With these DL injuries, i am concerned that our already-soft defence against the run has become completely vaporous. Barring a small miracle, Andrew Harris should have a field day, and we could be looking at a blowout.

Grigsby has gotten better over time but a ways to go before being as good as Ford or others we've had. If Grigsby goes down- that shouldn't be a big deal. O'Shea says that the running game is not all that important.

They're both probably out shopping at.......the Pall Mall.

I am impressed by all the gooder Inglish here.

Wow. The Saturday game is beginning to really concern me.

As much as it smarted to lose three straight to the Riders, I take comfort that all three games were close enough that it (mostly) erases the shellacking we took last year, and all three could have gone either way. Although there was probably some smugness last year for Rider fans, they games were not entertaining to watch, and this year all the games were. We have resolved two keys problems from the past few years- head-coaching and quarterbacking and we have not been blown out once this year. I still have concerns about our run defence, O-line and running game, but there is no quick fix unless Billikudi suddenly becomes available and that changes our whole team. Oh yes, and our import receivers are still mediocre but did look a lot better last game. Come to think of it Corey Watson is still not hurt.

And then there's the special sofa: Chez Lounge

The CFL East division is such a dog's breakfast that, as odd as it sounds, even Ottawa still has a shot at the playoffs even with their atrocious record.

AHA! Taman's nefarious plot has been exposed!

O'Shea was on H&L this PM. He may be whistling past the graveyard, but he was pretty definite that he didn't consider the run defence or the Bomber running game a concern.

Sunseri may not be another Durant, but he's not bad. I don't see the Riders going into a blind panic and trading for Ray or Burris, but Durant's loss is a definite blow and places Calgary head and shoulders above the rest of the league. It's going to take Sunseri a game or two to get into into the groove, so maybe that will work in the Bombers' favour as far as chasing the crossover spot. ,

In the Freep interview today, Walters says clearly that there are no major personnel changes planned, and no mouth-watering players to be announced any time soon, so the roster we see in probably the one we are going to have for the rest of the season. Good, bad or indifferent, this is it with maybe a tweak or two, so winning two of the remaining games (and Hamilton is playing better, so that one is not a gimme) is about what we can expect. There will be a lot of gnashing of teeth and wailing, but that is the price of change. Pass the Valium around.

If you want things to change you can't look the other way. Yup. Silence is complicity.

Both Romby Bryant and Aaron Kelly looked pretty decent as receivers on Sunday. Doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't be replaced- particularly Bryant. Kelly actually fought for the ball on a couple of occasions.

On Saturday? Were they wearing them at the fan day or did you mean Sunday? And how do our regular jerseys look like the Argos brand? The royal blues are still our 3rd jersey. The signature ones will be worn a couple more times tops and then we will never have to look at them again (except on people who actually bought and wear them).Having said that, bring back the royal blues as the #1 jersey. And speaking of Royals, William and Kate are having another baby. This would be a more natural segue if you had linked this to Kuale screwing the Bombers on Sunday.

This confirms Dunigan's speculation some time back that the nature of Lulay's injury might well make Lulay's shoulder so unstable that even a minor impact would spell an instant replay. We may well have seen the last of Lulay- bad news for the Lions and the league.

For whatever reason, Vega was a non-factor in the Banjo Bowl and may have been better served to have been left on the shelf until 100% or close to it.

The Bombers missed a golden (and blue) opportunity to sell a lot of T-shirts last game if they had ones emblazoned with "I survived Banjo Bowl 2014" on them with spots where the score could be written in permanent marker- heck, even the gopher-humpers would have bought them.
