It's game day! (A real game day)

Bombers coming out with the !!

🤣

Edmonton is widely considered the second best team in the league and we beat them with 87 yards passing. This team needs merely non-disastrous QB play to win. 

Pointless FG to end it. Let's be honest.. Esks scored a TD in garbage time. 

 

4 tackles, 3 QB sacks,  1 knockdown, 2 forced fumbles. I can’t recall a better performance than that. Willie Jefferson!

Jefferson on another level, all nite

Good win by the Blue, crazy bad reffing, what the hell is loose ball interference? The ability to stop a Td? Roughing the kicker when again???

Effectively 6 points up on Edmonton now

And we own the tie breaker now if it comes down to it at the end

Onside recovery too. Sweet Jesus, he is on fire. Just total dominance.

Yeh we're up by 4 points and own the tiebreaker

Bombers 3-0 vs Alberta....

Sask in 2nd place now.

so can we all agree that the biggest problems with the offense are Lapolice now? 

Esks D is pretty good. Bombers are also. Decent game. Strevs had 3 or 4 drops so his passing looks bad but.. 11 or 12 of 17 for 165 170 is Nichols numbers.

Rios had to get his rookie mistake out of the way... balance the ridiculous pick 6

Id agree with this. Id also say tho.. 4 or 5 drops by receivers... So.. U can add 75 yards with catches. Esks are also pretty good on D. 

Even with the subpar passing (some not all of it can be attributed to drops) the element of being able to run the ball that Streveler provides makes him the preferable option to Nichols in my mind. 

How many times has a QB with over 400 yards passing (430) lost to a QB with under 100 (89)?

184 total yards by Strev.. Nichols like numbers.. Nichols is all in the air tho. 

I lost on my pickem but i’ll take the 8-2

and most importantly we got the season series against the Esks

And that punishing option run/pass stuff is demoralizing....especially avoiding turnovers.

Ideally we have both and make use of both.  I know the 2 QB system isn't ideal usually but with these guys and complimentary skills they have I think it gets us the Cup.

Edmonton was so afraid of Streveler running it gave more room to Harris. Really puts a D in a pick your poison position. Now get the passing game figured out and we got something special here. 

I guess our AHL squad is good enough, after all.

How do u stop Strev Harris etc in November.. Only global warming can

No tie breaker, Bombers take the season series 2-0.

Milt Stegall thought LaPo called a great game. Recognizing both Streveler’s strengths and weaknesses and devising a solid plan to lead to a win. I think Milt knows a little more about offensive game planning than you, so I’ll go with his assessment, thanks.

I'm gonna eat this one. I can't believe we won this. The D looked like **** at times but at other times they looked all world. But they won this game, no question. Unreal team win, but I'm still very concerned about Strev as a starter... 

Fluck yeah.  Didn't get a chance to watch this game.  Just caught the tail end of it.  I am pleasantly surprised by the outcome.  Season series over the Esks which could be very important at the end of the season.  It sure sounds like Jefferson was in beast mode.
