*Note: a win this weekend would clinch a playoff spot for the Blue Bombers for a seventh straight season, their longest run since a 17-year streak ended in 1997.

- Zach Collaros is 6-0 in his career in Labour Day Classic games – 3-0 during his days in Hamilton, 1-0 in his one season in Saskatchewan and 2-0 in Winnipeg. In those games has a 13:3 TD-to-interception ratio while passing for 300 yards three times and over 400 yards in 2015 while with the Ticats.

- The Blue Bombers are 24-3 against West Division clubs since 2021.

- A victory in Regina this weekend would give the Blue Bombers a winning record on the road for the third consecutive season, matching a mark last set from 1960-62.

These are the good times, folks. I hope you are all savoring them.

Shouldn't be a penalty unless that's primary contact point.  It's a form tackle so it isn't.

If you can't bump helmets on a chest to chest tackle they better throw a flag on every play aside from the ones where the guy runs out of bounds.

Chest to chest then ride up isn’t illegal contact. Especially when it’s two guys tackling. I’d be fine if they called em all like that. My real problem is with consistency.

Hey he can over throw his WRs by 20 with ease lol 

Wish we'd rush these punts.  Guy is taking a 5 yard running swing into his kicks.  Doesn't matter if we have 11 blocking we aren't getting returns.

If our offense was doing anything, we'd be up a bunch right now. Sask O is garbage .

I miss Grant

Buck is calling a crap game so far

Not sure what you're seeing. He keeps throwing it WAY over receivers. Can't get stronger than that.

Quick slants to DS and DW please.

That’s targeting schoens head 

WTF? TWo dropped passes by Dalton?

I saw the flag and thought "at least they are flagging Moncrief for going for the head too."

Flying spear into Schoen's facemask.

Brady needs to get into the secondary and run over Dalke.

Play action seam 

Surely play action is coming.

On his way to the end zone

Sask  no. 3 wants no part of tackling brady

Imagine being so bad at rushing you get called for hands to the face whilst on D and still dont get penetration.

The Riders D can’t do this forever. I think we will be up by at least 10 at half 

Ugly call 

Playcalling could be better...

Good time to fake it.

Demski's gotta hit that harder, just need 4 for short yardage, don't dance.

Nicely placed punt
