Let's move on to the stamps!

Seeing a tonne of traffic on the rider threads- time to flush it and set our sights on the Western FInal!

 

Any concerns going into the game? who's healthy? 

Is the decision to stand pat with our receivers and not o for Matthews going to bite us in the ass?

How do we match up against Calgary now?

 

Go Bombers!!!!

Now would it not be fantastic to beat Calgary, win the cup on the 25th and then see BLM and Singleton leave to try the NFL?

Somehow I doubt BLM is going to be the next Jeff Garcia

The Bills need a quarterback. He could go there to let his career die...

at which point he would be the next Jerry Garcia...

Just say no to Brodie. She sounded like a big Rider fan to me.

Hmmm. So, if a commentator has a team preference they shouldn't be on the air?

There's always a chance she could be reformed but until that happens she'd never get my vote as long as she's a Rider fan. Besides, I've been a Sara Orlesky fan for too long. Sara gets my vote.

They have to find a way to get Brodie Lawson on one CFL game a week next season. 

Oh, I see, you're sweet on Brodie, are you? Well that's okay. Whatever floats your boat. 🙂

She will drive ratings. But I don't care who cheers for whom as long as they aren't biased or forced down our throats.

So who will be calling this game?

Cuthbert/Suitor, Black/Forde ...

 

Or can TSN get it right and send out Miller/Dunnigan, the winning combo?

If it's Black/Forde I'm gonna smash my new TV. Man I can't stand Black

Rod Black is a knob.

Honestly I'd take Rod Black over Glen Suitor. Suitor is just the worst. Black at least is monotone enough to tune out. 

Thompkins out, Nelson in but Lankford listed as a starting receiver. Hope they use Nelson.

I really hope Lankford is not starting...did Thompkins get hurt or is this an attempt to get a legit returner on the field?

Gauthier's in too. I hope he's in top form. Before he got injured he was on pace to break the record for special teams tackles and we didn't look so good last week in that area.

Ed Tait reports that both Thompkins and Santos-Knox have been moved to the 1 game injured list:

There seems to be a certain determination on the part of both the Bombers and the Stamps this year.  I think whoever wins tomorrow takes the cup on Nov. 25. 

It's cold, we have the advantage in the trenches, especially our OL, and we have the best Running Back - I like our chances.

I just hope the coaches aren't thinking about leaving some plays in the bag for next week - they should throw everything at the Stamps tomorrow. 

Thompkins in my eyes is a far better receiver but honestly they didn't even throw to him last game, this teams passing attack is always going to run through the 4 of Dressler, Adams, Demski and Wolitarsky so if it helps the return game it's not a huge deal. Unless someone gets hurt in game, but in that case we might be screwed either way. 

This team's offense really relies on Harris to start it off so let's just get the OL to dominate again and let Harris run all over the field.

We are getting better, deeper......cause didn't you say earlier in the season that our passing attack only went through Dressler An Adams ?.......

Thompkins had 57 yards receiving in the last six games. I don't think his removal will affect our offense much.

I don't trust Lankford or Nelson with punt returns.  I don't think O'Shea does either.  My guess is this is a move by Lapo to get more speed into the offense since the temp will be slightly above freezing.  I'd prefer Nelson, he's a big threat in the run game too, with and without the ball, very good blocking in the game he played, also very good on kick cover.

I'll buy it from you for $5 - don't smash it!

It is a little bit of fun waiting for Black to come up with a nickname for a new player............has he made one for Wolitarskey yet ?

Our O line will have their hands full with that front. I can't wait for game time. GO BLUE!!

Just keep on underestimating this team. That D is playing some damned good football the back half of this year. Ask the Riders how bad mouthing the Bombers OL went for them. 

 

I love being the underdog.
