After wading through 13 pages of the "Sky is falling" (the Mat Nichols thread) and more of the same on the LaPolice thread, I saw a lot of grumbling and nonsensical blather. The " what a difference one game makes" sort of said it all in terms of a frustrated board of posters. But now that we have got that out of our system, let;s look at what we can do to be positive and to put our team in a position to win.

It is possible to beat Calgary if we get a couple of non-offensive TDs like the Roughies were gifted at perfect times. Note too Regina replied to Calgary's attempted come back with more scoring of their own to really put them in their place,

Assume that Lankford & Folketti start and that Chandler Fenner plays most of the gane

What would you do as head coach/OC/DC to give  the Bombers their best chance of winning?

I haven't gone thru all the messages but do you know Devonne Claybrooks has been hospitalized with an undisclosed illness & won't be at the game Saturday afternoon? That is a significant development. 

Voodoo!

If Saskatchewan can beat Calgary, we can beat Calgary. 

If we don't it's going to be one ugly week up to labour day around here eh.......lol

After the final whistle when Riders thumped the Stamps the other night, Calgary HC Dave Dickenson and his brother Riders ST Coach Craig Dickenson shook hands. Camera caught the jubilant Riders coach say to his deflated Calgary brother: 'We had to work for it. You'll take Winnipeg next week." Dave Dickenson replied: "We'll see."

Calgary is an elite team but Riders showed Stamps are probably not as good as their 7-1 record shows. They are beatable. Nichols will have to be his best, make plays and shake off contact when the pocket shrinks. Bombers will have to get and early lead and limit turnovers and penalties. Bombers front 7 will have to seriously pressure BLM and limit the explosion plays. Crystal ball says Bryan Bennett might play a factor on specials.

AWESOME!!!!

Nichols being able to shake off any contact worries me a bit.
