Is he trying to convince everyone else or himself? Honestly the whole thing gives me the vibe of he's hoping the Bombers come in fat and sassy. That's a fools hope. You want to beat this team you need to earn it. You gotta play you A game for 60 minutes of hard nosed football.

Exactly. This is a desperate cliche- hoping for breaks.  
 

I guess we know how he deals with high expectations.

Well take er easy a bit man! I am like you but I find ways to keep me steady like reading about the Blue Bombers fantastic and rich history in this league, coming on here learning all I can, and of course drinking when needed to calm the nerves.

It truly is a remarkable set of professionals currently coaching/playing for our beloved Blue Bombers football club.

Hang in there and enjoy this team. They are special in many ways! Do not forget to enjoy it!🙂👍

As a fellow life long Bomber fan disliking every other team to varying degrees we’ve earned it. Never wavered in wearing our colours thru the lean years. This ain’t going to last forever so let’s enjoy it while it lasts.

Oh and Riders suck.

Holm or Lawrence will be active and Kramdi is out.

Too bad they are taking Walker out.  I think he’s a guy we need vs pass and run in playoffs.

If the DL keeps Rourke moving the secondary won’t be primary.

If Bailey doesn't go I'd give oleary orange the shot. He earned it in his time IMO.

[rebusrankin]

Pretty solid looking lineup. I do wish Bailey was healthy and not a GTD. One more DL like Walker would be nice, I might have done that and taken off a DB. Oh well, Go Blue!

[Nolby]

That's the best looking roster we've seen in a while

Loved how BOLO has developed this year.

That offensive depth chart looks like a team that wants to pound the ball on the ground.

[Mark H.]

I am looking for the OL to play the way they did several times this year

Sept. 30 against the Rider comes to mind.  Aggressive and really punishing the Defense

Then the runners will rumble...

Brady for a buck fifty sounds just fine to me.

That was my exact first thought. Ground and pound.

Or Rutledge. Hope he isn’t finishing on the pr.

Whenever I see the Bomber hype videos I literally stop what I'm doing and sit there in a ball of emotion.

Curious there seems to be a few here that think the world of Rutledge. Rookie year he did a good job but I'm not sure if teams will be clamoring to pick him up in the off-season. Probably someone we can offer a contract to when Darby goes to chase the money again lol

[K-Shack]

Shouldn't we have room for an extra American on the roster? I think we overrostered Nationals last game. I would have liked to have seen Walker stay on in lieu of Burtenshaw, perhaps (although I guess he plays teams). I miss our DL rotation from last year to keep everyone fresh.

[Wanna-B-Fanboy]

Anyone else here think the Lions are going to ground and pound that ball with butler down our throats and then toss a big play pass? much like the 2019 and 2021 iterations of the Bombers?

He was really up and down. He was brilliant at time but the club is pretty open with the fact he just hit the wall. The jump from 12 games to 18 is gigantic. 
 It’ll be interesting to see he and Gmac if they finish on the pr. But I expect the club will re sign them quickly.

Yes I think we are one short on american players. As in, we could probably roster Walker or McCrae if we felt like they gave us more than what a Canadian is providing us. The only one I can think of his Burtenshaw...but our team does value special teams more than most.
