If we beat the Eskimos, then yes the number to clinch a home game is 2. And the number to clinch a playoff spot will be one, provided there are no more ties in the CFL season.

BBlink Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Looks like they are going with an additional DB (Porter) to replace Dressler. Some anti aircraft artillery against the potent Eskimo air attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Has Sam Hurl ever missed a game due to injury? I don't think so. insert joke here : _______________________________ My theory is the defensive backfield has improved quite a bit. Guess we're about to find out. Heath/Randall going to get some picks methinks. Maybe Alexander too. In addition to a win, I hope to see some headphone throwing, or kicking something over on the Edmonton sideline. Might be good to see a player pull that, to see what happens. maybe a baseball style coach screaming in referee face incident.

17to85 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 The Esks DL is much healthier and their secondary much improved since last we faced them. Good thing their linebackers still look iffy. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not considering we got Hamilton next week and a two full game lead on them. But it would be the first time we actually swept these villains in a long time, and it'd be great to see this team go 14-4 this season. bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 A win and we're still in the hunt for 1st overall. A loss, especially by more than a TD and we're in a fight for 2nd place. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 OK that at least makes sense, though I am not worried about being tied with any teams to be honest. Just don't think it's in the cards. We will either finish ahead of them or we won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may still be feeling the woes from the NFL and getting cut. He also will have to adjust to the field again and the new schemes but ya, its gonna be a boost.. just not huge imo right off the hop.

That might be a bit chicken and egg - the Bombers had success against Edmonton in the last game by running the hurry-up offence as much as possible, but one of the statistical consequences was losing the time of possession battle. I'd argue losing that battle is what helped them win the game. If we slow the offence down to hang on to the ball for more of the game, we don't take advantage of their defensive weaknesses like we did last time.
