East turtle derby heating up as OTT leaves door open for first with a loss on Fri. No matter the state of the team HAM usually responds on LD.

Big divisional game with tie breaking implications  down the road.

Playing an evening game on Labour Day when kids have to be in school tomorrow is insane. TSN doesn't give two hoots about the fans.  There's 5 hours between games today. is there an MLS game in between?

Tomorrow is an administration day - most kids will start school on Wednesday.

Maybe in Manitoba but here in AB school starts tomorrow. I wonder if it's the same this year in Hamilton  as I read last year that there were a lot of complaints (this being one of them) that school started the next day. 

With afternoon games people  complain they have to cut short whatever else they are doing. Impossible to please people.

You are correct. I just checked out one of the calendars out there - they had three administration days last week.

They used to start the East Game at 1 pm EDT & the West Game at 3PM MDT. Second year now TSN has done this.

Ryan Bauman bomben TD..... 300 pound guy, runs  good route, finds open spot, good hands.

That was my favourite play of the weekend.

Schultz is colour guy for Argo radio broadcast. He's good.

Masoli moving around nicely in the pocket.... amazing how these mobile QBs with a decent arm can make some plays to get the ball downfield!

Darby picks up a Green fumble and runs for a TD but Masoli chases him 40 yards and tries to cut him off to prevent the score. Love to see that in a QB.

I don't think I wanna see Matt try and run 40 yards all at once...

I don't care much for Brandon Banks attitude but man he's become a heck of a receiver.

That's a full quarter worth of production for Nichols

Well Argos are now 3 and 7, Montreal is 3 and 8, BC at 3-6. We've got a two game lead for the crossover.

Score flattered TOR. They are awful

but Montreal is showing signs of life, whereas we are showing signs that the ship is taking on water.   who in their right mind after week 2 would have thought that our next game after Banjo Bowl against, at the time, the lowly Als wouldn't be an absolute gimmie.  Now it could be the most critical game of the season if we're carrying a 5 game losing streak into it.

If its Labour Day and we're already hoping that the team is good enough to make a crossover, that says something really sad about the 2018 Bombers/

I agree.

I was thinking today, about  the glory days, when we had James West, Tyrone, and company, the Bombers were waiting to see which team they would face in the Western final.....

I heard an interview with James West, he was asked which team he would prefer to play...

his answer was "the best one". Those were different days. Heard some radio interviews with Calgary players today, Bo, and a defensive guy.

They have that attitude.

Fans hoping for the team to be better than the worst is not a good thing.

I hope we at the least maintain the crossover spot.... but,  by that time we have the QB situation figured out ....  then we plan the parade

I can't see any western cross over team advancing very far this year.

Hamilton & Ottawa are both set at the qb position and Montreal seems to have found something Pipkin. Toronto is the only week link in the east right now.

I am not sold on Trevor Harris. In the Ottawa vs. Montreal game last week, he did nothing, possession after possession. Well, other than rattle off long snap counts.

Hoping for second in the west.... but would settle for the cross over....it's always better than nothing right ?

Ours start tomorrow.

Pipkin has had how many games?? Diddo Thompson??

 

Man people are so quick to think these guys are gonna be great.  it's been 2 or 3 games.  let's not start anointing them as the  next best things yet..  CFL history is rife with flash in the pans.. hell how many have we seen??

 

I get the negatrons want so badly to show how pathetic our QB is and yadayadayada but let's see if Nichols snaps out of it or if these 2 can continue on their rises to greatness before we proclaim the east set in stone.

I wonder why Schultz never went back to TSN.
