Since we've now seen the Bombers and Riders after week 1, opinions, predictions etc...

Riders D looked decent but, not saying much vs Edmonton who hasn't won a home game since WW1. Bombers put up Grey Cup bound (predicted) 42 points on Hamilton....WITHOUT LAWLER. I can't wait until this guy is back, the Oline vs their d line will be interesting.

By that logic any QB ever is capable of it

Guess which quarterbacks threw the last three 400 yard games for the Bombers.

Ryan Dinwiddie versus Calgary in 2008

Steven Jyles in 2010

Matt Nichols in I'll say 2017

How did I do?

Dinwiddie, Bishop, Joey Elliott

I want to see Dunigan’s single game record broken, this team showed they have the horses to do it, just need the coaches to keep the pedal down. Would rather it be at home so I can witness it in person but doing it to the criders would be okay too.

At home, in the Banjo Bowl behind a sellout crowd would be fantastic.

Would be my preference as well but…

They haven’t said anything that I’ve seen. Dickenson just wouldn’t answer the question so media is speculating as far as I know.

This is why Dickenson should have been fired last season.

I was literally just telling my friends that I want this game to be a beat down from start to finish. I don't want anyway for the Riders to excuse this one away.

But Dunigan's record is untouchable, lol.

Yes and no. Yes, the play call was poor bordering on idiotic. Having your QB even on the field throwing that ball was just a head scratcher from beginning to end. No, in so far as that hit was pretty benign and most QBs would have just bounced up from it. Harris is old, and was always a bit fragile so part of him not playing is simply a function of age and complete lack of resiliency. The Riders can look forward to that all season long no matter what Dickenson does.

Fine is a little scary because he's the type that could go off.  Good deep ball and can run around a bit. 

I'd be more concerned about Harris exploiting our weakness of stopping the short pass.    Fine hasn't shown anything in the CFL in pre season or regular season over the last two seasons that shows "scary".

Harris doesn't like getting smacked around, and has been called out on it by players...wilts like an old weed....so allowing him to get smoked like that...will be in his head all yr now...especially when I see him being in top 2..3 QB's for being sacked....should be interesting for sure

Jeffcoat confirmed to be out so that's a very thin DL.  Bennett is the only back-up DE and Schmekel and Fox backing up at DT.  

Interested so see what Fox can do. O'Shea said he liked what he saw from him in BC.

Mike Miller to the 6 game. Jake listed as a back up OL as well as DT. Schoen and Oliveira good enough to go.... As per DT.

So Jeffcoat out and Fox in, any other changes? Didn't look like it to me but... 

Disappointed to see Miller is still not on the roster and there hasn't been any mention or coverage of what's up with him.

Fox as the Designated American on D, so he can rotate with the other Americans and take 23 snaps in place of Schemekel. I like this. Less excited by using a DA spot on Jackson.

We need another DE ASAP and if Miller is on the 6, we need a National STer.

What would be the thought of Thomas changing jerseys and backing up the OL? 6 or 7 guys there isn't enough?

Definitely a bit concerned about our ST coverage with Miller out and Briggs admitting that the punt block was his fault because normally Miller is in charge and he didn't get everyone ready. Hopefully all that is cleaned up...
