Week 11 features the Bombers (7-2) at the Elks (6-3)

Storylines Bombers  coming off back to back wins against the Stamps and the Lions. 

After Nichols gets injured, it's Streveler time. How will this unfold? 

Andrew Harris is suspended for positive PED test. 

Told that the Elks are for real and we're finally being tested.

WEEK OF GAME THREAD:

 

I strongly recommend scanning this thread. There was a lot going on and we were definitely the underdogs on paper that week. 

 

 

ORIGINAL GAME DAY THREAD: 

 

Edited August 19, 20205 yr by JCon

I could watch Willie Jefferson come around the edge and swat the ball out of the qbs hand all day.

I really do think the unsung hero in this game was Geoff Gray, knew how to play on the edge and did just enough to get under Edmonton's skin... all whilst not being penalized.

Dirty? Arguably...game-changing? 3 minutes and change after Strev gets stuffed on 2nd and 12, two stupid Edmonton penalties kept that drive alive allowing more time to be chewed off the clock.

They totally found a way to win this game. This bodes well for the second half of the season. 

 

Small side note, the Western Final is on TSN right now.

They’ve played it before and I’d rather see the Friday night game that was played in whatever week this was in the CFL back in 2019.

Don't get me wrong, I won’t tire of ever watching this game as we stood tall and held the ’mighty’ Riders to their fate. But I’m hungry for different games, and different action. 
As it is, if I want to see goalposts being hit...I’ll watch hockey..😀

So which is the worst delusion

A) Thinking the world is flat?

 

B)Thinking Cody Fajardo is a legitimate all star QB who was going to throw for 5000+ yards this year?

 

C) Being an anti vaxxer?

I actually saw Derek Taylor tweeting some **** about how good CF was going to be this year. Christ almighty, the **** they believe over there...

I feel like there's a lot of crossover there....

It's Friday night, on a summer evening, and the only thing I have to look forward to tonight is replays of Bomber games years past. 

I would gladly listen to Rod Black right now taking about some ridiculous burger totally ignoring a football game.

Are you trying to start a movement for Black’s Life Matters?

It's pretty lame the CFL website doesn't have an archive available for previous games over the years, especially now that a 2020 season isn't going to happen.

It'd be fun to go through classic games, milestones, and moments from seasons past.

The CFL is incapable of even thinking about things like that. No surprise.

I can't stand him... Just the thought of Black calling a game gives me the runs.

Nichols is misunderstood.

Jesus, late august and we were still rolling out Fenner, Gaitor, and Hecht? I don't remember that!

You're forgetting Gaitor was actually good last year... then he got hurt... Maston took over and was much better... proves you CAN lose your job because of injury...

Fenner and Hecht... not as much... Let's just say Jones and Alexander made a huge difference...

Man, at this rate were never going to win the cup.

yeah it's not looking good.  Hoping for a miracle run on the road in the playoffs, but hey I'm just a glass half full kind of guy...

I'd even take Keith Urban in the broadcast booth staring like a deer in headlights at a football game right now.

Dark times indeed

 

Happier times. 

You know that Urban is trying to telepathiclly ask Cuthebert for help ditching this creepy Suitor guy.
