Stickem Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 A lot of comments are concerning our receivers...IF Schoen is out that's not great BUT we do have other guys who can get it done....Demski,Woli, Lawler and Rasheed and Bolo (if he gets a shot)....AND then there's the force I don't think the Elks can handle at all, and that comes in the form of a bulldozer named Brady O...When we start rolling the antler guys are going to have their hands full....I don't like their chances at staying with us, with as much as we have on the line ...Take them out early and don't let up.... rebusrankin, Piggy 1, BigBlueFanatic and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 No doubt Schoen is a very important cog in the offence but we do have a variety of weapons on offence, just win against Edmonton rest some players against the Stamps and let the roster get as healthy as possible for the West final.

JohnnyAbonny Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 5 hours ago, Pepper_Brooks said: Put Parker or Cole in that position. These upcoming two games should serve as auditions for some of our depth players like them, Eli, Dobson, Haba, and BOLO, to determine if they can step up and secure full-time roles for next season. Cole at FS would be interesting. I’d say more auditioning in the last game however. First place is not a lock yet. 2 hours ago, johnzo said: as a bomber fan, when I think about this week's game I feel like Rocky Butler has pitched a hammock on my grave. This isn't just a trap game, this is a 12' deep tiger pit complete with dung-encrusted punji sticks kind of game. buuuutt as a CFL / sports fan I like the drama of the nothing-to-lose snake-in-the-grass Elks vs the lots-to-lose Blue Bombers. This is exactly why I watch the game. I’m not sure. Injuries or not, Edmonton at home for first place is far different from a trip to Ottawa in the summer. I don’t think anybody’s getting trapped Piggy 1, Noeller and Pepper_Brooks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'd like to see Parker stay in over Houston but I bet Houston goes back in and we see Hallett at S, so we can start even more Canadians. Not loving McCrae as a starter either, would rather see BOLO. BigBlueFanatic and Piggy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteakTips Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I feel this could be a trap game. Last time around the Elks QB running game was controlled. Not sure this group can do that again as contain seems to be a weakness for this group. Discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Was at the Jets game tonight. Every time I go to a Jets game, I wish I had gone to 3 Bomber games instead.

We lost to the Riders, Ti Cats & the RedBlacks all with rookie qbs. Yet, let's keep thinking the Elks have no chance. They do. We have to play hard the next 2 games to make sure we wrap up first place & have the WDF played at IG Field.

But the NHL season is 82 games long and even the best teams don't show up sometimes. And fan engagement at hockey games is **** tier.

rebusrankin Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Running QBs scare me given how much success they've had against us. Teams with nothing to lose scare me. I just want a win Saturday so we clinch and I can relax. BomberBall, Piggy 1, blue85gold and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 All we need is to lose this one, only to have the Stamps eliminated and we face Tommy Stevens in the last game to run all over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpants Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Yes of course any team can win on any given day... but here's few stats to chew on over the last three seasons... - Bombers coming off a bye: 7-0... 9-0 if you include playoffs - Bomber against Edmonton: 7-0 - 2021 first place clincher against BC: Bomber 45 - Lions 0 - 2022 first place clincher against Edm: Bombers 48 - Elks 11 I like their chances... despite all the legitimate reasons to be nervous...

ddanger Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 19 hours ago, Noeller said: that's really the point I've had most of this season... I just don't trust this team game in and game out. You never know who's going to show up. I know they keep saying Collaros's numbers are as good as last year but it feels like he's had way more turnovers this year, Lawler isn't necessarily playing up to expectations, the D has been very soft at times...... so I'm not saying that Edmonton is FOR SURE going to smoke us, just saying it's a possibility. Agreed. It just doesn't feel the same as previous years Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
