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.

"Definitely have to be on our Ps and Qs this week going against (Reilly). Great matchup." -  TJ Heath

"I feel like we have great confidence already."  -  Clarence Denmark

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.

Bomber store

More first downs than points...need to convert more 7's.

Great game otherwise.

Bombers have quietly won 10 of their last 13 at IGF 

Was JFG injured on the game?

Lower body but still in gear on sidelines during game

They really have to do something about those illegals contact. Watson ran right into Heath. It should have been a penalty on Watson for interference.. It seems like it was planned.

I wasnt able to watch the game. 

Hmmm, time for Wolitarsky or Blazco next week.

According to our favourite colour man the db has to get out of the way.

Coates filled in and caught some passes even made a first down.

Coates did an awesome job filling in; to be honest JFG and Coates both seem to be larger impacts than Kholert was.  Not that Kohlert was terrible I just mean we did upgrade that Canadian spot which is awesome

What a ridiculous rule eh?  Watson literally tossed Heath to the turf, I could see it if he ran into Heath but it was a full on shove.

Only in the CFL.  Not applied that way in amateur football.  Everyone is entitled to their cylinder (shoulder width field to sky) and position.

Sad.  But the good news is Maas isn't so smart without his 15 challenges. Wally was lost last week too.  Good game by the Bombers. Solid effort. Defense needs some work, gave up a lot. Offense is firing on all cylinders.

Agree, agree agree. It used to be you could hold your ground. Now, you can draw a penalty.

Its ludicrous and has to be changed.

I'm holding my ground on this one...

I only saw the 4th but was impressed that despite giving up the big play to Watson the offence came out and helped the defence with a couple solid drives. 

A few thoughts...

Harris is a true play maker and Nicols/Lapo knows how to use him . 

Gotta keep Flanders in the line up.

The Thorpedo continues to impress 

this team is one win against Calgary from being legitimate contenders if they do that sky is the limit BUT can't leave so many potential TD's off the board and continue with sloppy tackling leading to big plays. 

Great crowd tonight no reason that if the Bombers keep playing like this that the crowds continue to show up and who knows maybe even a couple of sell outs

D gave up 4 big plays... 1 was a fluke TD catch. 2 were on the Roc and 1 should have been called back for holding. Thought the D was good. Fluke Hail Marrys were the only time edmonton was able to move the ball.

This is a BIG point worth keeping in mind....

Wait...I thought Wiecek said nobody would show up as long as O'Shea was coach.

And the Bomber fans agree..

Backups for sure if JFG cant go. Didnt look overly serious tho

Reilly passed for 356. Is what it is.

That's exactly what I was screaming at the TV.  He's entitled to his spot on the field.  Is that actually a rule that was changed in the CFL?

Wiecek can sling mud from his ivory tower all he wants, I'll be watching the Blue & Gold from my seats with the rest of the city of Winnipeg.
