Nolby Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 4 Elks players literally tried picking up my girlfriend when she came out of her office downtown yesterday. Maybe this will be an entire distraction and theyll be off their game now today....GO BLUE!!!!! Mark F, Geebrr and Wideleft 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Gonna be hair, teeth and eyeballs all over the field tonight. Elks ought to be in a surly mood and the Bombers are on a roll. This should feel like a playoff game. with finesse out the window. Time for the Bomber to grab grass (Astroturf) and growl. coach17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchy Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Couldn't help but laugh at some of the prediction comments; HODGE: When do tickets for the West Final go on sale? BOMBERS ABBOTT: Winnipeg is the best team in the league and Edmonton is a flaming manure truck careening towards a canyon. BOMBERS BALLANTINE: You know it’s a bad week in Edmonton when getting blown out by Winnipeg is the third worst L of the week. BOMBERS GASSON: Edmonton is bad. Real bad. Winnipeg is the opposite. BOMBERS LUDWIG: I badly wanted to do it, but ultimately the only way you pick Edmonton is if you’re angling for a job with 630 CHED. BOMBER MCGUIRE: Losing Kenny Lawler hurts, but not enough to fall short at home to this dumpster fire. BOMBERS SMITH: It has been a bad week in Edmonton and it’s going to get worse when they get molly-whopped by Winnipeg.

Just rewatched the Lions game last night. I think instead of putting McKnight in for Lawler, they should just dress one less player on offense, just to make the game fair for the Elks. Should probably spot them 10 points too. Edited October 8, 2021 by Wideleft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideleft Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm expecting big things from Adams and Demski today. Rewatching the game, you could see how active Adams is even when the ball isn't getting thrown his way. As much as I hate to quote Suitor, he pointed out that the Bombers weren't really going to Lawler that much in the previous 3 games, so I don't think we will feel that much pain from his loss. Our D is just so damn good right now. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 In previous game vs Esks... - Harris has 3yards short of 100yards. I expect him to have big yardage again. - Swiss-army knife Demski rumbled 21yards for a TD. Should be used in the running game again. - Bailey (72yards) and Adams (53yards 1TD have a big games. With Lawler off, expect those 2 to be relied on again in the passing game. - Collaros fumbled the ball near our end-zone and Elks scored. He should make it clean this game and protect the ball. - Mourtada missed 3 FGs. He made 3 FG last week (in a dome). Need to make his FGs tonite but hopefully all he need to make are PATs.

Nolby Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Bunch of losers over RF whining that the Indigenous logo on our helmets is lame,one guy had no clue whatsoever what it was for. Took 2 seconds to figure out and I'd say it's a classy touch to do so for what's gone on with residential schooling and such.

Geebrr Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 "If that is a tribute to indigenous peoples. It’s a fail. I’m sure some people appreciate it. I’m sure they could have covered the logo in x’s or o’s and claim it honours indigenous peoples as well and some would appreciate it." Welcome to Saskatchewan. For context : "As a part of this commitment, the club is honoured to unveil a new, star-blanket themed logo designed by local Anishinaabe artist and star blanket designer Dené Sinclair. Matching precisely the team’s colours, the logo will be used during the October 8th game against the Edmonton Elks alongside an honouring ceremony for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day" "In First Nations and Métis traditions, being gifted with a star blanket is a high honour. Sewn or stitched in the middle with the image of a morning star – the brightest light in a dawn sky – a star blanket is given to leaders in a community and wrapped around their shoulders in ceremony. To design and create a star blanket, Indigenous creators have to find a delicate balance between mathematics and art, focusing on precision and creativity while ensuring nothing is out of sync." Wear it with pride, I think it looks awesome. BomberBall, wbbfan, Sard and 8 others 5 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
