*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.

Kramdi with another wiff.

He looked disinterested there.

And Rose just watching instead of ganging or getting wide to close off that run lane if he gets loose.

Roadhouse is killing us first half

 

Willie's eyes got too big there on 2nd down.

Dolegala pretty smooth in the pocket they better not drive out so wide.  He's not gonna run.

Kramdi whiffed on the sack too

When he messes up like on ST and that last pass play it’s pretty glaring.

Halftime can't come soon enough.....

Roadhouse Zach buck and Houston. 

Our kick returns are little short of pathetic.

Field the ******* ball Parker.  Geezus.  
 

This is the reason you haven’t been on returns.  Field the damn ball.

D is going to be wiped unless the O plays a lot better in the second, 1 series doesn't win games

Especially with the limited depth...but we got 2 fullbacks tho...that's handy

That all being said we got em right where we want them

One of the worst Bomber halves I’ve seen in the O’Shea era and we’re only down by 6

Missing JG to quote captain obvious.

I still don't know what coaches see there..not like it's needed for ratio purposes

Somehow, O'Shea is a fan, accord to the interview in the OB pre-game show.

Maybe post-2019.

He gonna throw a few picks yet...his deep balls are just garbage

Houston needs to ease off on the pick six thoughts.....

Need to get Lawler more involved. I can only recall one pass thrown his way.

Piss poor half...and we arent buried or in trouble...I expect polar opposite 2nd half

But not the worst, thank God. If the offence can be at least average in the second half, we can win easily.

Pass game kind of lives and dies by the deep ball.  Has harmed us a lot in big games but usually make just enough plays to win, or D steps up, or Harris/Oliviera step up.

I've given up on them moving off to more of a quick passing game when needed.  Seems Collaros doesn't go for it.

That's his Achilles heal...falls in love with certain players for wrong reasons...and it's not talent

Houston reminding me of TJ Heath of yesteryear, who was also bad for going rogue and getting burnt deep.

That has to be on Buck. We need more crossing routes, slants and outs.

So...what is up with Kenny lately?

Our helmets don’t use navy blue and Saskatchewan has white face masks 

Be better TSN you fucken  clowns
