Nah, I was assured yesterday that resting the starters and possibly taking our foot off the gas was a non-issue, and that there would be nothing to worry about. There should be zero complaints from everyone who expressed that all week long.

Dunigan trying to rally the offence from the booth.

Prediction - today is the day we give up a 4th quarter touchdown on defence.

Why did they start Cooper in favour of Nelson? Anyone?

Apparently the Bomber back-up receivers are earthworms given how often McGuire targets the ground with his passes.

Shaw Cooper making me long for Charles Nelson. At least he ran up on balls and got some positive yardage. Neither making Grant worry about his job security though.

Well let’s see what halftime adjustments we make. Montreal making good use of the short swing passes, let’s get Demski more involved or run those jet sweeps.

Your boy is sucking ass so far. May be time to give him up for adoption.

Is there a surer tackler on the team than Mike Jones?

Win the turnover battle, win the game if this weather keeps up.

Holding is not challangeable.

Always enjoy when the PBP guy has to guess who the pass might have been intended for.

Looking to run before you catch.

You can get a cream for that. Ask your pharmacist.

You may have a point there. Adams certainly could have used less zip on that pass.

So, curious to see how Castillo does. Last week he was sneaking every kick just through the uprights (except for the bad miss), but since they went through he avoided the Mourtada scorn. But he has not been drilling them straight though on any kick, all have a hook to them so far. Will be interesting to monitor that since Ali is still around. Not sold on him yet.

Kongbo with an opportunity to be a full-time player today. Making a strong early impression.

Castillo with the miss. Bring back Mourtada, at least he can kick the converts straight.

Re-configured o-line looked pretty decent on that short drive.

Whoops! Team’s so intimidated by us they just hand us the ball.

Since we moved to the West in 2014, we are 4-2 in Montreal. Going back to 2011 we are 8-2 there.

Never ceases to amaze me what fans here get offended by. Bombers do the same thing by including a playoff ticket in the season ticket package. It’s good business to get fans to invest, and then offer a discount off of a season ticket package if the game doesn’t come to pass.

Apparently a sellout at BMO Field tonight. Two caveats - 1) it is a socially distanced sellout, so I think they capped sales at 15,000, and 2) it is against Hamilton, so many of the seats sold could be to Tiger Cat fans. But every little bit helps in trying to encourage attendance in Toronto.

I might argue the Edmonton game where they dropped a potential pick-6 interception in the 4th quarter had some luck to it, but that is neither here nor there. This team should be ready, but removing starters in favour of back-ups does open a door for our opposition. And in 2001 when we operated that way we allowed Calgary to sneak into the playoffs, and have them the perception that they could compete with us. Anyway, if everyone is not worried about it then OK, I will not go doom and gloom. And I look forward to tomorrow’s GDT free of angst or complaints if we struggle. 😁

I know all these changes make sense, and I know it is a good thing to see how our back-ups can do (especially McGuire who could use some substantial reps), but it still eats away at me a bit that we are taking our foot off the gas here and running a “pre-season” game of sorts. I guess it is flashbacks of 2001 and how badly that approach backfired that year. Anyone else feel that way?
