*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.

 

 

 

Boys better wake the hell up.  Can't give the greenies anymore points before answering.

 

Was that Augustine on the fumble kr?

Houston shouldn't be playing the boundary.

McRae should be given an apple and a GPS cuz why. Plus taking runs away from Brady is stupid

Oh look, a Macrae bobble.

For an imp that’s a cut worthy mistake.

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

I dont like that argument. A win today and a fluke next week and they are 2 points behind us with the series.

Only down 10 is one thing.   Playing like trash is quite another.

I think the McRae experience should be over next week...no reason to be rostered

McRae Jackson out...Haba and Fox in

Why does this feel like the BC game?

Nah. In the BC loss, it never felt like the Bombers were in the game. If Shoen had hung onto the ball, its a whole different game,

2 FN yards that's pitiful

Too bad they have to have a Japanese lineman on the PR and not anyone who can catch a kickoff or a punt. 

At first glance the run plays are the only time the Bombers are more physical than the Riders… got to be better

Roadhouse time for a couple make up plays

Should be using him on O.  Exact guy we need when downfield passing going nowhere.  Play him off Oliviera, screen to him quick, widen out the D.  

Sask tackling with their helmet

Demski what a grab! 

You need a big play call on Demski

Demski!!!

Poked the bear

Went to throw some money on Bombers to win after the last score, still almost even money for Bombers to win despite the deficit.

They can't use those 3 spots on anyone but Globals.  Probably didn't need the 2nd American lineman for 12 weeks though.

Dalke is useless unless he cheap shotting

Good call to throw. Everyone was thinking the Bombers would run.

Need to see two Sask defenders hit each other in the head
