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.

Reilly passed for 356. Is what it is. 

Yup... On those 4 hail marrys. If we remove then hes probably around 150. Heck u take out the 73 yard one to watson because of the hold and hes under 300. 

Does anyone have a youtube link for the game?

You can't pick and choose plays to not count in the stats. Good thing there wasn't more time left. Halls defense let them walk down the field at will.  Full credit to Nichols for the win. He didn't make any mistakes, and took what was there

Just GTFO already. Bombers marched at will on the esks. If more time was left the O probably comes down and kicks a FG or TD. Just go away rider prider.

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. 

Eh on the first one I put more blame on Walker, Roc had position behind, Walker needed to get in front and disrupt that ****

Lapos game plan abused the Eskimo LB they had no answer for Harris it was funny watching 12 chase him around the field all night.

On the long play by Watson in the 4th, wasn't Bryant Mitchell (80) for Edmonton doing the same thing that JFG for us and Williams for them did, which earned them holding calls?

Are you sure it wasn't 13? I feel like the Esks had 13 men trying to catch Harris, and still couldn't do it.

Was a brutal non  call on the hold. Refs botched that one bad. 

I really really dislike Carmichael. Really, how long before he's a backup?

I feel Don Landry of CFL.ca needs a shout out. Only guy out of their 7 predictors, who picked us to win.

Got to give credit to Nichols on those too many men calls snapped ball the moment time was called in. The Esks guys were gassed could barely run off the field. Have not seen a team get physically beat down like that in a while.

Holy crow that was fun!! How great are these guys to watch!? Super proud of the team. Battle ready and resilient. Tough as nails. 

Andrew freakin Harris. Unreal game, even with the giveaway. Nichols throwing darts all game long, even with a poor sack or two. D did just enough. Still think it's the system more than the players that's giving us pass D issues, but hell theyre winning, who am i I argue. Plus that Edm rec core is legit, even without Bowman.

Crowd was fantastic. Here's hoping for a mild fall to keep that place full. Such a riot when there's 30K+. 

We won, so I'll lay off Andre Proulx and his crew. 

Something special with this group... it's been building for awhile. 

Oh and mom had a great time.

Agreed when the Bombers went up tempo it seem to catch the Esks off guard Bombers saw it worked and used it to their advantage during the game.

How many first downs did we finish with!? We punished their D. They looked beat up by halftime.

I believe it was 38. And only 1 (!!!) 2-and-out all game.... 

Somebody should of got Andre Prouxl a bigger hat or a smoke he looked so disheveled out there.

Noticed bob even called him out on the radio tonight. Said he always seems to be in the area but never makes a play 

I said last week that before I would say this team is a good team they would have to play against the top tier teams in the league and should they play well and beat them then I would say yes they are playing well and deserve the praise they were given. Well they played well again this week and against a 7-0 Eskimos. Yes the Edmonton have several injuries but nonetheless we controlled the clock and ran over them it seemed at will. Congratulations to them and the coaches. My only concern is Carmichael and will if ever will MOS agree he is not that good of a ball player. He was burnt yet again this time for 2 touchdowns and seems to be trying to catch the ball rather than first attempting to bat it down. Let's see what happens in the next few weeks. We had over 500 yards of offense which says to me that LaPolice has finally come out of his shell and is calling some longer passes and mixing up the calls well....good for him. Hall needs to do better with the defense.  We gave up over 470 yards of offense and while there were what 3 big plays it nonetheless has to be reduced. Congrats Bombers you are doing well.

Carmicheals 9 lives are being used up quickly.

 

 

 

 

Charmicheal is out a second soon as Alexander is healthy

Majority of Nichols passes were short to medium length throws. If you watched the game you would know.. So i think... And just my opinion but since you jumped off the fan wagon a few weeks ago.. Like Ripper... Just GTFO

quit now. You're exposing yourself as the dolt that you are. The Bombers get full points for winning tonight.
