Go Bombers

Just win. Like let's reset this stupid narrative about how awful the Bombers are and how amazing the riders are.

[Noeller]

Banjo Bowl Warm Up Game.... Like the people of that province, it's almost always ugly. So just find a way. Take 2pts and run like hell...

While I am always a Bomber Fan (since forever) at times you have to face the truth, at least IMHO the Riders across the board are a better team that what the Bombers have. Especially in the trenches. However at times the weaker team prevails but IMHO this will not be the day.

In spite of all the lamentations about the DL, the Bombers have have allowed the fewest rushing yards per game in the CFL. Specials have been good too. There are a few bright spots on this team.

Is it cause teams gouged us in air and with most explosion plays...?

How many rushing attempts against us compared to other teams?

Sorry, we're second, SK is first. 180 rushing attempts against Winnipeg, 160 against Sask.

Bombers and Sask tied for 3rd in YPC against.

[WinnipegGordo]

Win the turnover battle and win the game as they have been a key contributor to the Riders' success this season.

Also don't retaliate to the Riders pushing and shoving after the whistles. Sask likes to play over the edge and the officials like to call off-settting misconduct penalties. Don't give the refs the option.

I wonder if this will be a GG talking point tonight:

Is it about a rider? Then no.

[Goalie]

GG will talk about the crowd and pretend there’s always 5000 bomber fans there. Another packed house in Regina. When that is determined to be a lie. As they have had multiple 10000 ppl dress as seats nights this season and last.

To me, that's a remarkable stat considering what Zach's been through before he got here. We basically picked him up from the Argos for a bag of footballs as it appeared he was just filler after Matt Nichols went down. Congrats to Zach. Good for him. 

[Booch]

Play smart...have a sound game plan and I think we take this...ZC and BO always go off on Sask

Can't see us being out coached in this one with Mace on the other sideline so that's a plus

If we are tho...good god definitely time for changes

He really has had quite the career turnaround since coming here.

Now the question needs to be asked. When he retires, is Zach a CFHOF qb?

I think Mace is a better head coach than Osh. I think Mace will win his share of Grey Cups over time. He uses his roster to its fullest. Doesn't play games or appears to play favourites. If Mace had been our HC the past 2 seasons, I think we'd be 4 time Grey Cup champs.

imo, yes. based on being the best qb for a few years, an over all long strong career and rings. he’s not in the discussion for top league qbs, maybe mid tier among hof qbs. 

3 keys for me 

1, find an x factor. its going to be hard for us to out score the riders straight up. probably need teams or D score or a bunch of turn overs. 

2 mistake free offence. we can’t afford give aways or to falter in the red zone. 

3 secondary is primary source of D. that dl isn’t going to carry the day with the all canadian interior. kyrie doesn’t have dominance left and jones is a box tackler. the secondary will have to be the strength of our D and give fits to harris.

If he's able to win one more championship, then he should be in that conversation.

Dave Dickenson is in the hall of fame and basically played two full CFL seasons and 3 half seasons. 

Collaros has 4 seasons as the highest rated passer (1 in Hamilton, 3 here) and 2 Grey Cups.  He'll be in the CFLHOF immediately when he retires.

I agree on his roster use and how he selects players

That being said he appears to be a bit clueless and slow at times...not very astute with game management

Plus his teams still play undisciplined

Started in 5 straight Grey Cups, 2 Grey Cup wins as a starter, 1 GC MOP, 2 regular season MOPs, 2 times All-CFL, yeah he's going in.
