*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.

 

 

 

PURE CRAP!!!

Why not challenge that? That was pi

Run over the receiver to flag

Incomplete pass wtfh

Ok you ******* idiots it was an incomplete pass 😂

If you aren't going to challenge a potential 50 yard PI call, don't challenge anything.

Another bad time for a 2 n out.

Even that jam was 8 yards down field and stopped lawler dead.

AGreed. They just crowded him off the ball without looking for it.

Where the hell is our contain?  Alford just picks it up off the turf and runs to the numbers for 15.

No consistency on O......very herky jerking looking...

Yup...illegal contact or pi...we had 2 options...

That Lawler play is a must challenge IMO.  It's PI and if called it's points on the board.  Now you punt from your own 25.

To be fair the ball was screaming down field with no height at all. But yeah kick cover is real bad. 

Bombers starting the second half as they left off the first one.

Not sure how that affects contain on a ball just inside the numbers.

Osh mentioned they switched coverage schemes...well old was working good ..this one sucks all yr...and reason to keep going with it is????

Whatever,  par for the course and totally expected..  let's just play through it.

Now the riders getting instant field position every drive 

Something's not right with our kick coverage again this week. Is it that Sheehan's line drive kicks are getting up field too quickly before the coverage arrives? Also we still really miss Janarion Grant for field position.

If the cover team is barely half way down field when it’s caught you’re gonna get a lot of yards.

The way they are punting is completely different.  The aussie **** has proliferated the league.  They aren't pinning kicks inside the numbers anymore.  They are kicking across the field regularly instead of the nearest sideline.

KrappyD again 

Bomber offencce was getting thier asses kicked in the first half, now it's the defences' turn.
