No.. I'd be screaming at Nichols for throwing a suicide ball..

Nothing wrong with that. Its part of football. Guys get hit. Oh well. 

Laughably embarrassing performance from Edmonton. I’ll take it. 

Full marks to the Bomber D for the win tonight biggest W of the year

*******. Dominant performance by the D. 

Williams looks like a long term shoulder injury.

William's got crushed reaching backwards for a horrible pass...  William's being hurt is on the QB..

 

I don't fault the DB at all for laying him out..

Biggest win of the season.  7-7 and third place looks a hell of a lot better than 6-8 and fifth.  A home playoff game is not out of reach.

This has to be one of the most poorly quarterbacked games by two #1 QB's in a long time.

For sure. You the ******* tho. 30 to 3 dude. D was impressive. The fact you made it seem like Edmonton just sucked because no reason  says all anyone needs to know about you. Enjoy your night. You likely wont tho cuz the D dominated but here you are being salty.

I gave the D plenty of credit earlier. It was a good game by them. Even a great game. Edmonton definitely sucked though.

They sucked cuz Our D made them their *******

Man, I’m thrilled we won and our d dominated, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen such poor play from the O when the team plays so well. 

Nichols and the O were not sharp... again

Is it not possible that both statements are true?

Nice win. 

Tied for 3rd. 

Holds tie-breaker against  Leos. 

I correct myself, Bombers still have a game with Esks.

DOMINANT DEFENCE!

I can’t remember a better game plan from our much maligned DC Richie Hall. 

Pure Gold (and Blue, of course)

We can still get 2nd especially if the Riders choke in MTL tomorrow and start going on full tank mode.

Johnny Football is going to have a big game soon. It could come tomorrow.

I’m so darn impressed with that defence tonight. My god. If this is what they have been saving up to do, we could win the rest of our games from the D alone. Two years ago the blue d was a turnover machine. Tonight’s blitz machine stymied the schmoes to 3 points. That’s eye opening. Blitzes, turnovers, incredibly hard hits, that’s football that’s fun to watch.

Teams will figure us out defensively so our D has to play better. We caught the Eskimos off guard. They figured we were finished.

Sayles brings the pain, man. Totally clean hits too

edit: didn't realize he was actually hurt. I feel like a penis

We don't judge here. 😉

Why is it unnecessary?  Pretty damn necessary if the guy catches the ball instead of dropping it.  DB's don't have time to make sure on a bang bang play if the catch was made, coming up to make the hit/tackle.

Fair point.  Personally I thought it looked late and avoidable.

Last 4 games-

250 yards passing against

205 yards passing against

234 yards passing against

192 yards passing against

With lots of garbage time yards in the last two games.

 

All 4 would have been easy wins with a functional offense.  Last 2 were wins.

D has been great any game we've had an offense.  The trend is pretty clear.

Without a doubt this D gives this team a chance to win every game at this point. If and when Jeffcoat gets back, it will be even better. Gaitor has been a pleasant surprise at SAM too.
