Edmonton @ Winnipeg 

No changes for the Bombers...

Travis Bond on the Bombers getting a 'reputation' for 'gritty' play  

Who'd a thunk? Bombers are ahead of Eskis in sacks 2.9-2.7 per game

6/7 cfl writers have chosen Edmonton over Winnipeg. Only Don Landry has picked the Bombers. I'd be ok with that if he also wouldn't be the only one to pick the Argos in their match.

Missed these big games it been a while 

In 2011, Bombers and Esks were both around 5-0 I think (something like that...) and met early in that season. We won at home that night, I believe. This game feels a lot like that....

Cant remember last time i was this excited for regular season game.  I still have an hour and 15 left at work (in BC) but this day is done, already packed it in.  This feels like banjo bowl on a Thursday.  Only project work on my mind now is what beer and food will pair best with a 32-14 bombers win.  

 

ITS PLAYOFFS IN AUGUST!

there we go....that's exactly who it was. Man, we drank a lotta whisky that night....

I think Stamps even finished the game after taking that shot to the nuts. I never really liked the guy, but man after that you had to respect the toughness of the dude. 

that defense was so fun to watch, i would get a little excited every time we punted in 2011 .  Every defensive snap felt like we would get a sack, pick or lay a big hit.

I distinctly remember a "DE-FENCE!" chant spontaneously breaking out that year.  The atmosphere at Canad Inns was incredible when the defence was on the field.  They were so exciting.

Who is going to channel their inner  Marcellus Bowman tonight for the bomber D?

wouldnt be a blue bomber game without weak calls negating big plays by us.....

Last bomber esks game i went 2 was a wooping for Edmonton. So I'm not going today. Something like 44 3 Esks. Was so bad.

Fugg yeah muthafuggas - first bomber game in seven years!!!  I'm across from bomber store in Alaska shirt - I'll buy the beer...

Edmonchuks goin down!!

Streaming from Tenerife Spain.   Lovin' the first half. Go Blue

Carmichael is trash. How many more chances is he going to get? He's easily the worst import on our team.

Yo man what site are you streaming from? I can't find a link 

Fantastic play selection from Lapo.

Boy, I have hated Edmonton my whole life. Those stupid rolls the defense does whenever they make a big play...i just hate that

STATEMENT MADE......juggernaut Harris....we're officially playing with the big boys...noticed served Edm.

If it wasn't for the refs. ...we win this one BIG.........referring in this league is bull$hit,

Impressive game!   Look out we are for real!

PS.  Anyone know where to buy those Diversity Tee's?  I'd like to pick one up but I'm not willing to pay for the $18 shipping from CFL.ca  on a $20 Tee.

Statement game for the blue and gold. One win out of first. How sweet it is. 

560 total yards. Marching at will... 2 big plays by Edmonton made the final score closer. Almost 40 first downs. Statement made!!
