Boy been a long time since I purchased a beer at any stadium. How much is a beer normally?

More.

I think it's $9 or $7? (And, we're the cheapest for cheap draft in the league)

Screw you, Skunk.

What ?...... why you being so mean ?....... once Nichols puts up that three hundred yard passing stat tonight and we whup the stamps ...then everyone will be cheering that Nichols is on a huge upswing heading into the playoffs with his first win over the stamps in8 games....it's all good !

 

Pretty rare occasion for me to use the Ignore feature...  gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

with the new law that came info effect last week, will there be a designated "alternate" smoking area??

I think in Manitoba you can only consume in the comfort of your own home.

sorry, there's no heavy sarcasm font!

Out?

What happened to Loffler?

Upper body injury. He’s been showing signs of something, what with the dark spots under his eyes..

Hecht is a solid journeyman but he’s no Loffler.

The way he's played this year, I don't really see that as a big loss. Hecht is a veteran who may have more range as a safety.

Hecht sucks...  would way rather play Demski/Peterman/Woli and start Fenner at safety

I was hoping to see another pick from Loffler tonight.

That crazy Milt..

Loffler disappeared for entire games at a time this season. He just can't cover the field & the new rule changes has physically eliminated from the game. Bombers should reevaluate the safety position in the off season.

He has been really good the past month. 

The return of Kevin Fogg really seems to have turned our DB core around...  probably coincided with Sayles emergence

 

Hecht made his mark on a few blitz packages throughout the season. I'm sure he can fill in for a game or two.

It's  pointless that Nichols has yet to beat Calgary as a bomber ?........ I guess you could go read all the fire richie hall posts if you prefer that....

well they are far more relevant as to the reasoning for the Bombers not beating the Stamps than the constant Nichols bashing.

Are you implying that the defence lost us the game against the Stamps ??  If I recall correctly, the Stamps were held to 12 points for the majority of 3 quarters, and the Bombers only TD at that point came from a short yardage package trick play to Langford for the score.  Nichols did NOTHING that entire game.

hopefully the O move the sticks tonight, because that was an extremely frustrating game to watch!

 Not having any luck against these guys is an understatement...... Nichols is 0-8 playing them.  If Nichols wants to pull out the silly walk again tonight would be a perfect time to do it.......

We are aware of this, but he did lead a big 30 plus point comeback against them a couple years ago and only lost cuz they got lucky enough to see Parades make a crazy long FG.  And had he played in last year's game in the season finale he would have won albeit against backup Buckley.

 

Point in being though he hasn't exactly gotten to play them when they're in a bad streak and looks like he'll get to do that tonight.  The stamps have been our kryptonite long before Nichols, but I think the trend is broken tonight.

If not though ... I think I know who will be responsible and it won't be Nichols

This is true, unless you are a medical patient. Then there will be designated areas. Of course you need to make sure you have all the proper documentation on you. Anyone interested in more info, message me. I work in the medical cannabis field.

This year, but in past years the D has been teh shits against the stamps no questioning that.

I hope they have to scrape Bo off the turf tonight.

There were people smoking the pot in the regular smoking area before so I don't see that changing
