Huge tie breaker, Lawler back, can't downplay Rourke and his quick insertion to the lineup.

BC will be fired up, have to match their emotions and exceed them.

LETS ****** GO BLUE!!!!!!!

I see this one being a blowout but I'm just not sure which side the Bombers will be on

Lucky I bet rips a couple big returns 

I also think we had basically 2 weeks to prepare...can't not field 46 healthy bodies..tho a couple are questionable and no reason not to be prepared...even with Rourke back...we know what he is and does...he's not an unknown and he's never beat us...so with 1 week of practice he shouldn't now...as I am sure our defence will.be extra amped

We come outgoing unprepared...no in game adjustments and basically look like weeks 1 thru 5....then we definitely have a coaching issue as we have the talent and experience 

Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the Blue easily win. BC Suckage team has not excelled last number of weeks.

Don’t know if O’Rourke can be fully prepared with 5 days of practise. 

BC Sucks! 

Keys to the game for me, 

rock the Rourke, he’s well set up to under perform, this should be his worst game of the remaining season. Make it hard on him, don’t let him improvise with his legs, hit him a few times, contain him, and blanket his wrs like last game. It’ll be hard to do the same as we did to vaj but any thing similar will be good. He’s coming off a terrible pre season performance, hasn’t played a meaningful game or Canadian Game in a good while, hasn’t had time to adjust to the lions O or personnel, or had time to study us. 
 

score tds. Real easy, can’t keep kicking 6 fgs with multiple 50 plus expecting to win on 1 td alone. 
 

bully ball. Pound the rock early and often, we need to stick with the run and maintain that physicality. 

I’m still pissed about Adams not being in the lineup and how that will affect our ability to pressure, but I guess I have to get over it.

Would love to see a quick start on offense… Get up early and put even more pressure on Rourke’s shoulders…. Have him toss up a few ducks.

Key to the game...don't force it to Lawler.  BC's secondary and D in general is terrible.

If the offense gets on track and starts putting up TDs instead of FGs, this should be a Bombers win. Knock on wood, I have way less concerns about the D and ST... If the O gets figured out, then we look like the Bombers of "old" (2019-2022)...

Fred Penner playing the half time show today feels like a good omen....

 

 

What's the over/under on the number of times the booth slobbers over Rourke? 300? 400?

It's going to be gross so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna listen to OB in the yard tonight...

His son lives on my parents street close to my daughters school and  was here a couple of weeks ago. It’s cool meeting him. His son has a cat and yup. We all know how that goes.

Ya I've heard some great stories, and all of them revolve around "Fred Penner is a GREAT dude..."

This explains why he was not at the Fred Penner Bobblehead give away on Friday night at the Goldeyes game.

Bombers win in a close one. BC turnovers and some key Bomber ST returns the difference. 

Hope I’m right …

Watching this one in Bedford, NS. Generally have had good results against the BC Lions when I'm here. 🤞Thankfully it's an early start in BC. Only 8pm ADT! 

Key to the win has to be pressure by the Bombers up the middle to flush Rourke out where he can be rushed and horizontalized. 

Fred Penner lived across the street from some family friends of mine growing up. Great people.  He lives his gimmick in the best possible way. 

DT bringing Suitor on the OB pre game show..... siiiiiiiiiiigh......... I just died a little inside.

One centillion, over. Suitor runs out of saliva after that then just kind of gums on Rourke. 
 How pissed will every one be if Rourke gets knocked out of this game haha. (I don’t really want to see him injured, but the vitriol would be hilarious)

Renowned Riders homer.... Just.... Literally can't even. 

NFL coaches would roll through an ocean of broken glass and peroxide to find a QB. 

Saying Rourke didn't get a shot is a complete joke.

He chose to sign first in a place with an entrenched QB and backup.  And then he went to 3 more teams.  Two of them not having a clear starting QB at the time.

He had a shot.

He is also a huge vancouver homer. It's nauseating to listen to riders or lions games he does.

Just the absolute worst choice to have come on an OB Bombers pre game show vs the Lions....
