Heading in now from Victoria Beach, but looking forward to the game. Weather could be sketchy late afternoon/early evening with severe thunderstorm activity in the forecast. Here's hoping it's tapered off by kickoff! 

Let's go Blue...#BlueAndGoldTillImDeadAndCold

What the hell happened to our team? Who took the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and replaced them with this efficient bunch? 

It can't be as easy as replacing a Qb, can it?

I'd say ya, but "the facts say Willy was doing the same thing when he was playing" LOL

Ah,  the colours....

.........Coming on down on Hamilton

 

I bet if Stegall had some decent qbs at the start of his career, he'd have maybe between 2-3000more yards in his yards total. Amazing what he really did.

It's all 3 phases. Bombers had 21 points on 92 yards at one point.  

Bond was also added back so I think he's been helping a lot. Him and Hardrick are monsters. But Nichols is definitely making a difference. 

Man I feel bad for Hardrick.  Guy was practically crying when he had to come out for the 2nd time.  Hope hes OK.  

Bombers look like they aren't trying anymore 

3-4 didn't look attainable 3 weeks ago but yet here we are, these last 2 week the team has played very well, can they keep it up? 

Let's hope.

A struggling TO with out ray, a struggling montreal, and the riders twice. Things are looking up in swaggerville.

Hopefully no let down against Toronto, looks like a couple of guys got injured tonight hopefully not to serious especially Hardrick.

Hardrick was the only injured guy who didn't come back. 9 days until Toronto. 

Gotta give Denmark and Mayo some props tonight.  Also Westerman wad held or tackled by a Hamilton oline on every play. Refs need to call these blatant holds.

We can't afford any injuries to those imports on the O-line that's for sure.

under 80 ish yards in the 2nd half, 5 first downs 4 2 and outs. Could be as simple as the moves made on the OL. Though I think nichols gave a spark and made the best of a better situation.

Worth the 2.5 hour delay.

Bauming said there were only three 2 & outs all in the 2nd half.

1. plays #84,85,86. 2 and out. First drive 3rd quarter.

2. plays #114,115,116. 2 and out. First drive 4th quarter.

3. plays #131,132,133. 2 and out. 3rd drive 4th quarter.

4. plays#151,152,153 2 and out.  5th drive 4th quarter. 

hes just mistaken. 1 isnt a huge difference, but 3 2 and outs when we badily needed to drive the field in the 4th. 

1/4 15 yards in the 3rd quarter passing.  

4/6 36 yards and took a Time count penalty.

so 5/10 51 yards and a time count when we were deep in enemy territory for the 2nd half.

You need to get some sleep.

On a stormy weeknight we had approx 17k fans in the stands AFTER a 2.5 hour delay...

Can anyone dispute Winnipeg's claim to be the best fans in the league?

Watching the highlights this morning... I love the full tilt block Lochard makes on Maher as the blocked punt is recovered... this is a big part of why kickers don't like making tackles.

So who else stuck it out last night?... my friends and I decided we were already there so we might as well stick around for a bit... due to my complete lack of confidence in this team... I wasn't completely comfortable til the final 3 minute warning.... but I'm glad I stayed... got to bed around 1:30-1:45 am... needless to say my 5:45 am alarm came quite quickly this morning!

I went back to the stadium once I found out they were actually gonna play, stuck it out until I got home at about 1:45.

Worth it.
