Might be relying on Harris a bunch now that the cold weather is in,hopefully he sticks it to his old team.

His return back to wally world, flanders on the roster having been tearing it up, I expect the best game to date from harris. 

All the games are huge from here on out, I hope we play a hard 4 quarters of smash mouth football. GO BLUE!

Need to start winning again, before this whole losing thing becomes regular.........

 

...and these guys can't POSSIBLY win a game...........................................................right?

ahh its not that cold outside i was just outside in shorts, tho i might throw on jeans before the game

its plus 2 here, saw 0 this morning. If it stays on the cooler side could be an advantage for us over the dome cats. 

 I hope to see the BC SUCKS chant in full effect today

It would be great to see Harris go on a tear reminiscent of Chris Garrett in the 2011 East Final.

Defence needs to play better today.

Have to keep Jennings from having his way

got to keep him under pressure

then get the ball to Smith and Dressler

 

 

This is yet another "must win" game. Bombers must pressure Jennings, contain BC receivers and for God's sake- don't fall behind in the first half or the game will be lost. If the Bombers lose, the rails will be greased on a downhill slope.

were def gonna need that pressure today, I dont think our secondary matches up well vs Arceneaux/Burnham/Sinkfield et al.  but let's just play aggressive and turn that ball over like we were doing weeks ago

i think the offense will play their best yet. lapo might have a surprise package with harris and flanders both in the lineup. both are good on the run, catching the ball and protection. 

my worry really lies in the defense. i dont think bend-dont-break d will not work vs the leos. their receivers are big and physical and they are good running team.

rainey also worries me. finch killed the bombers by giving blm a good field position. if our st team will not show up in first half, this game will be over by the halftime break.

Both teams defenses are suspect. BC has the better offense and tops the league in rushing. We are 5th against the run, so the cool weather may play into their strength.

BC has the highest punt and punt return averages. We have the best average against punt returns and we beat them in FG %.

BC's number 1 in penalties taken. We are 7th.

BC's only given the ball away 22 times (We're @ 21 having played one less game). We lead the league in takeaways @ 45 for a +24 (BC's @ -1).

Home field hasn't been much of an advantage for us.

A BC win means they get a playoff spot and likely 2nd in the West. A Bomber win means we keep our 2nd hopes alive. Both the Argos and the Als need to lose for us to get a playoff spot this weekend.

I can hardly wait for the game to start. Should be a playoff atmosphere.

 

Just heard from a friend who's working at IGF today....seats are all wet. Bring a towel! I washed my Bomber shirts after last week's loss.....first time in about 7 weeks. Time to start a new winning streak!

I honestly think that Jennings is such a gun slinger there will be chances for turn overs. Just gotta have the offense going cause he's probably going to make some plays as well. Keep up and win when the mistake happens. That's what they did on the streak, need to do it now

A turnover is really valuable when you can make points off the turnovers, and the Bombers have not been able to do that consistently. That could make the difference today.

Points off turn over are huge, game changing events. They can be really big too, if they help you flip bad field position even if you dont score though too. If you force a turn over in the red zone then drive for 2-3 first downs get a good punt and pin em deep in there own end thats massive momentum and a good rest for the D. But yeah scoring off turn overs is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.
