Yup. That sounds like it. As I recall, that seemed to motivate us even more.

It was the in the 4th quarter of the Grey Cup.  Penalty made it 2nd and 18 then Harris busted off a 20 yard run with Bryant and Darvin Adams finishing off blocks right at the first down marker.

Streveler was injured in his last start with a high ankle sprain which was a game in Calgary.

Can't believe Cooper is getting a second crack at returning kicks. That was an all-time dog-******* last week. Man oh man.....

Maybe its a cap thing? Perhaps he's loaded and is paying the Bombers to let him play.

It's been 2 years since I had a chance to see the Bombers live (and what a chance that was) damned right I'm gonna watch this team. 

Same. We try to get to every game we can when the Bombers come here, so our group of 3 are going regardless of the fact that it means pretty much nothing (other than momentum) to either team. Still kinda regretting not getting Grey Cup tickets 2 years ago, even if they were damned expensive - winning the Cup here in Calgary was a dream come true 😁

After last night's games it looks like Kenny Lawler, with just 27 yards needed today, could be the league's only 1000 yard receiver in this shortened season. Nobody playing for any of the other teams today is even close. What a season for #89!

And he had to miss a game

got a pair of tickets for dirt cheap. mostly for a social thing. its cold and a meaningless game but going with a friend. 

I’m in a similar situation. I’ve sat through so many **** weather games at McMahon that I basically expect it when the Bombers come to town. At any rate, it’ll be nice to see the team live and relive some memories from the Grey Cup. Maybe see some of you guys there. Go Blue!

Waiting for that @JCon GDT.

The one thing... it was a monsoon and Cooper on the sidelines looked pissed so it means he cares so yeah... give him another shot in a nothing game

If there was ever a reason for this forum to have a love reaction to posts, this here would be it.

Cooper failed in every aspect of the game and it is beyond me why he wasn't sent home unless he's been paid ahead for the rest of the month and they want to get their money's worth.

Probably the same reason as to why we have Mourtada still with the team

Cooper's still around as the back up RB.

Watched the game on PVR this morning and a few things were evident:

If Collaros goes down, we are boned.

Meier was better than Mitchell, who was barely better than Brown.

Neither Brown nor McGuire are going to be the Next Big Thing in quarterbacking but both deserve another shot, just not this year.

Calgary has some very good receivers, but their O-line is poop.

Bomber O-line is awesome.

Augustine had a GREAT outing, but his O-line opened holes I could have gotten good yardage through, bum leg and all.

As usual, the zebras had a rough night. I felt for the Bomber D-line- time to put Vaseline on their Jerseys?

It was a frustrating game to watch, If the Bombers had a half-decent backup QB, the game would have been out of reach by halftime.

Except for that one Calgary pass, the Bomber defence was its usual stout self. They deserved better.

Very much agree with this take. It looked to me like we were playing lots of backups on D, but on O it was business as usual except for the QB. I think Brown started out nervous, and didn't do himself any favours regarding his job future.

And what was up with Calgary trying to injure Brown?? REfs needed to step hard on that.

Our offence should've destroyed them in the first half.

They kind of did, but a brown fumble took 7 points off the board.

Things we learned:

1. We don't have a backup QB we can win with.

2. Maier is better than our backup QB's, likely better than BLM.

3. Our 3rd string RB is better than Calgary's 3rd string RB. Maybe it's really the OL, not the RB.

4. We're not invincible. We need to play the full 60 minutes.
