Another trap game. They're all trap games at this point. I'll be very happy to get back to IG Field this week.

Good chance for rain tomorrow   

It looks like a cold and wet forecast for gametime tomorrow, so that likely means few long passes and more reliance on the short passing and running game. I like our chances.

For the first time in a long while I feel like crappy weather games may actually disproportionately disadvantage us. Our offence has really shifted from the old Lapo run first/dink and dunk style into more of an explosive big play offence that runs less and passes more. It has been coming along great but rainy weather may bog us down a bit. 

Hopefully Harris and the hogs can reignite the 2019 formula if/when it is needed.

We have 3 rbs on the roster and one of the best offensive lines in the game. I have plenty of faith that if the Bombers need to ground and pound they can figure it out.

You mean questionable? 

Light rain if anything during the game.

If there is lightning in the area should someone Flex

I'd have said that back in the 80's playing on a grass field but with turf fields today the passing game still works & the track is fast. Unless it's a bloody downpour like Ottawa a week & a half ago.

Well, if there has been a weakness seen in this defence, it has been giving up yards against the run at times. Here’s some pessimism for you - if this offence is not as well built for bad weather as the 2019 squad, what does that mean come playoff time if we have cold and snow?

the problem isnt personnel. teams are defending tight zone and inside zone runs differently this year. Thats why its all harris runs for 1 or less vs harris runs for 7-10. If our run package play call doesnt evolve it wont improve. We've seen one out side run in the last month + where the pass game play call has improved dramatically.

😄

I'm questionable for tonight. The wife scheduled a dinner tonight with some old friends. Hopefully, the place has a TV and showing the game. Otherwise, I'll be following the game on the phone and at the mercy of my wife's desire to get home early so I can catch the rest of the game. 

But I think we got this... Let's go Boomers err... Bombers !!!

This need re-apperance.

That problem was solved with the return of the Stove.

If this game wasn't at IGF East, I'd be a bit concerned.......but I feel pretty confident about keeping the Elsks down at home. It's a brutal place for other teams to play...

Let’s hope. But it seems likely.

full dose now of Stove and Wilson has that run defense rectified...I'm not too worried

Is there a link to where we can buy these orange jerseys being auctioned off after the game?

Way to jinx it Barker in what would happen if Collaros went down. Sheesh.

Elks have nothing to lose,no one expects them to win ,definitely a trap game imo but most of the games remaining will be till the playoffs...Go Blue!

How do the Bombers react to a bit of team turmoil, will there be much flexing,, will the point after's be an adventure, will Elizondo get fired this week or next after the Bomber beat them b2b 

ALL RIGHT!! SHOWTIME!!!

I'm betting the Mourtada jersey comes in at a bit of a discount.

Bombers will just pay for it and give it to him… together with plane ticket home.

The way some of these were going up I was thinking his might be the only one to go for the minimum lol. Can always change a name bar 😁
