*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.

 

 

 

Shud have blown the whistle.

So you named the Winnipeg player, but not the dirty piece of **** Rider player?

 

Forward progress was stuffed.

So you just get unlimited time to keep forward progress now? 

Great question.

Bucks gotta call a good series now. 

Alarm clock can go off anytime now....

Time for Jackson to take a knee and rally the troops 

This sucks.

Zach and Dalton with absolutely **** games so far

The one yard dive is such an offensive advantage you can’t let guys push reach etc after their stopped but the league has no interest in calling that dead. 

Embarrassing. This riders team is so bad.

D is starting to stay on the field way to long, O needs to wake up with a drive and points

We're a second half team.... 😬

Let's hope Zach gets in the groove. 

The slow whistle drives me crazy.

O needs to wake up, Defense got greedy and then burned, maybe because they trying to cause a spark, trying to hard (Houston this means you)

At least complete a pass this drive

It’s a long game. What was the score at halftime last week?

Why does this feel like the BC game?

They could also call the insane hold on Picton where he literally tackles, not blocks, Maruo who otherwise would be the next guy driving Pipkin back to end the play.

Horse collar tackle. Hand inside the neck roll 

Lets not forget this is the Riders and there fans Grey Cup

Not doing anything right......at the moment...

Oh look, a Macrae bobble.
