Risky pass by Ray considering the situation.

Sneaky punt, good idea, poor execution.

A good way to throw away the game??? I dunno...

Yikes! If Roc is defending against Green next week it's going to be ugly.

Import Recruiting
Alexander looks good so far, so that's one. Poop makes two.

3 stars and HH week 2
Speculating, but one reason for Nichols poor performance may come from the added pressure he puts on himself to beat BLM, pushing him to try to do too much. Coming from the same college and having a lot of the same connections and friends it might eat him up that BLM has surpassed his accomplishments at E. Wash. and as a pro. Nichols came into this season expecting to prove himself so this game was a huge test for him.

Import Recruiting
The Bombers have brought in plenty of recruited prospects over the last 4 years but O'Shea has cut the majority of them for whatever reason. Perhaps they weren't good enough players but I think O'Shea's obsession with ST players contributions plays too big a part in deciding who stays and who goes. Thus they have a roster stuffed with LB and FB type players who are not skilled enough or lack the experience to actually play their position. Fielding Hurl and Briggs or a rookie at WIL for the next game is going to trigger flashbacks of a LB crew we might have seen in 2014-2015.

Yah, I don't know if Lankford is the answer or not but as a player with some experience I think he deserves a shot. They had some bulkier receivers in camp in the last two years but for some reason they've settled on Washington who is a duplicate of Adams and does not look like he will contribute the blocking help that the primary receivers could use.

Some Positives
LaPo seems to be neglecting the role of the FB to protect the QB far too much in favour of an extra receiver, didn't see Normand in the backfield very often. On that play that Nichols got sacked hard from behind Harris had to decide which LB to block as Cgy. sent two, unfortunately he chose to block the wrong one and Nichols didn't see the backside LB coming.

I'd suggest when Thorpe gets healthy give Lankford a shot at the receiving job and send Washington to the PR, in two games he's been pretty invisible and the purpose of another tall skinny receiver eludes me as Adams already provides that and the original intent was to add a physical receiver.

Multiple offers??? Ugh uh, he took the only offer. Why else would he choose Sask.?

Wrongo, before Sask. picked him up Messam was hanging on the line for months like forgotten laundry, free for the taking.

The team that showed up in the first half was the same team that dominated the first half of the West semi. The team that showed up in the second half was the same as the team that blew the West semi.

I thought they announced last season that if the play was on the opposite side of the field (it was) and had no effect on the play it would not be considered a challengeable infraction?

3 stars and HH week 2
The most frustrating thing about that game was that they squandered the crowd advantage and the momentum they gained through the first half. I was very impressed with the resilience they showed in the first half, they faced adversity but they moved the ball reasonably well caught the momentum and looked like they would dominate the rest of the game. They showed up in the second half just long enough to fold their tents, wave to the crowd and turn out the lights.

It was Carmichael. I don't care if they have to bring Jovon Johnson in for the next game, they can't expose Carmichael to Ricky Ray.

Stamps @ Bombers: Game Day Thread
How many TD's has Carmichael allowed in 2 games, must be 4 or 5? Same story every time, he back peddles until the receiver blows by him then gives chase but never catches up. Enough already.

I think with 100% hindsight, letting Burnett walk was a mistake, the LB depth is weak.

Who is the 2 man reserve? Foketi + ? I read a tweet that sounded like Flanders might be dressing.

Random News Items
This is nonsense, you either respect our legal system or you don't, you can't apply the rules randomly to suit your prejudices and apply random justice. You do know that he brought suit for $20M against the CDN. govt. and it was before the courts? You do know that the Supreme court has already ruled on the legality of his imprisonment and confession? Trudeau has nothing to do with the decision the court renders, he is simply following best legal advice and offering a payout and an apology to put an end to it and cut their eventual losses. Khadr spent 10 years imprisoned in Guantanamo which is basically a Gulag created by the Bush administration exempt from US law. The only reason Harper brought him back at all is because Obama basically forced him to, which just exasperated the situation by confirming the CDN. govt.'s true intent was to ignore the constitutional rights of a citizen.
