Game day thread: Ottawa QuarterBLACKS vs Bomber BYES

So we are all wondering what the defensive line is gonna look like but does it matter against a third string quarterback?

Time to shake off the rust from the bye week or shall we say the Bombers have all healed up from their little nicks. I doubt if they have forgotten how to play .... as much as the players may be chomping at the bit to get going,  I think we as fans are far more anxious than the players to see the game underway.

We are likely to see a defensive line that has 2 international defensive ends and one international defensive tackle. That means that Corney, Thomas and who knows who else will be platooning. I personally don't see many other changes. It will be interesting to see who gets the start, Knox or Santos Knox at linebacker. At safety Jones or Loffler ... maybe a little experimenting with where to put Loffler but probably not.

Other than that I think Michael O'Shea will be standing pat tonight - - and that feels like a habit - - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Game day - Yahoo !!!!!

I just delivered mail to a hotel on pembina highway, walk in and there's a group of Red black fans standing in the lobby. I jokingly say "gonna be a tough game for you guys", they respond with a serious tone"not at all, we'll talk at the end of the game". Props on them for travelling with their team but I hope those guys are eating their words around 10pm tonight.

Hubris to the max

Do you really want to know??  I sure don't. 

I believe it is the actor who played Xena

I don't see a blow out.  Ottawa is a good team that is strong on both sides of the line and has a good secondary.  The "rookie" QB has already faced a lot of live ammunition and won't be overwhelmed.  I think I remember him winning his first start as a Cardinal.  I am not high on him over the long term, but he could come out and surprise us tonight.

That's what they said about Max Hall too

That's who I thought of when I saw Lindley's underwhelming NFL career.

Me, sitting at work, waiting for CJOB pre-game to start............

I believe he had one of the worst playoff appearances of all time.

that's awesome, but my thing this year that I'm convinced is helping the Bombers win, is Crown Royal Northern Harvest mixed with Pepsi Max.....I'm CONVINCED the Manitoba-made rye is working.....didn't have it on Labour Day, but made sure to buy it for BB....

From Lindley's wiki page:     Lindley threw his first career touchdown pass to Michael Floyd, ending an NFL record 228 pass attempts without a touchdown to start his career

The run game should be a factor. Its hella windy.

Sorry, but you are ruining a perfectly good Rye bu putting Pepsi in it... and besides, Northern Harvest is meant to be drunk straight on the rocks... at most a splash of water to cut it a bit...

Otherwise, I approve this message

 

I am not enough of a man to drink straight rye....you have no idea how badly I want to be that guy.... I just can't do it....

That looks like the bear in my backyard waiting for me to come out of the house.

you can be.. you just need botox injections in your entire face to stop it from spastically twitching and contorting as the rye works it way down.

When I was growing up in Pinawa, this kinda thing was actually a regular occurrence, especially in late summer and early fall....

Rye is pretty harsh in general to drink straight up. It's not exactly the expensive scotches or something we're talking about. 

Rye and water is a fine drink with some ice.

Then I forget what happened and wake up with new injuries and all my friends hate me???  but not sure it's related.
