Man, they're quite cocky over there right now. They played a decent game, nothing scary, we aint BC.

BA's experience, leadership and smarts would be welcome IMO......

Of all of those the most pants on head ******** is defensive backs.... bombers D crushes it as a defense based on their ability to defend the pass... sask passing totals are bad yet somehow are better all across the board on D? ******* morons writing about the league.

Player to player, our secondary is hands down better. On top of that, our system and coaching in the secondary is drastically better. 
 Secondary to secondary we have the biggest advantage of any post season match up. Even more than rbs in tor vs ott. 

Not sure who all, but sounds like 4 regular starters are not practicing for the Gappers. Dinged up last weekend I suppose....

"receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker (neck), left tackle Trevor Reid (knee), defensive end Bryan Cox Jr. (knee), and strong-side linebacker C.J. Reavis (knee) were all non-participants in practice on Tuesday"

KSB, Cox, Reid all left last week's game due to injury.

I'm assuming one is Shaffer-Baker who got absolutely blown up with a head shot last week.

Shots like this remind me how I'm glad my son hung up his football cleats last year.

Regardless of the gross color he wears, I hope Shaffer-Baker is okay.

Update looks like KSB, Cox, Reavis all practiced today. 

Reid DNP

All the Bombers practiced in full.

I  agree, and no disrespect to Wilson, but we are appearing to find a groove with our Lb's.......I am leery of changing that up......

yup....i think it would not be the smartest thing now to make excessive un-needed changes just for the sake of change....and because it's for a guy who has been here a while

I’m not sure there’s even ruffled feathers in general now when it comes to that stuff, social or traditional media.  

Most of the players in the CFL come across as friends, bulletin board material seems to be for the fans these days  

 

I mean, if I'm a Bomber player, am I going to get upset if I hear Trevor Harris says the Riders will beat us on Saturday? Not really. as a player I have other things to prepare for & worry for.

on a different note Trevor Harris has a face and head that just makes you wanna punch it....

Jersey too. 

Those Riders Obsidian green jersey are the most ugliest uniforms. I hear they're wearing those hideous things on Saturday. Why, as the home team do we allow the Riders to wear those at our stadium?

Sure but not as bad as wanting to throat punch every last one of those save on ‘family members’.

All these are nice assets but do not compensate for the loss of speed and the poor decision-making he was showing when last on the field. But in the Free Press, he was quoted as if he expected to be the starter in the WSF. Given O'Shea's history of favouring old players over better, newer, younger one, who knows?

Apparently we are Blue On Blue this weekend... Wearing the Alternate pants with the regular home jerseys.

I do not care for that combo. The gold on jersey doesn't match the gold on the pants. It drives me crazy.

I mean they're practicing so that's a step up on some of the guys who dressed in the grey cup last year.

"Bighill, can you walk?"  "No coach Osh"  "Good, you're going!"   "Schoen are you able to run at all?"  "No coach" "Good, you're going!"

just read this week's entire thread ... happy with the patriotism but not so pleased with the worry warts

the west final is not going to be played on paper, no matter how good our presciptive analysis

personnel decisions are mostly irrelevant but a more talented player may make a big hilite play (I believe our talent is better this year than last)

its going to be won based on character and true gut wrenching grit and confidence

the riders have been on a roller coaster and at the pinnacle of their rail ... we all know what will stop someone on a roll

some have a winning tradition - others just show well

the bombers are that confident heart that refuses to panic ... they have an amazing 4th quarter victory mode

this is the house that MOS  built

a bad bounce or two can change the course of a game, sometimes irreparably but most bomber victories I remember, the veterans come back methodically to save the day

an when providencce is on their side they accept their gift

THEY ARE MORE THAN LUCKY
