We start the week with BC at Calgary, two team under .500 both chasing the Bombers, it would be great if they could both lose but I guess go Lions

Reese yeah.

Smith. Gatkouth. Major Williams possibly. Maybe Jaworski but that could be wishful thinking.

No one really on O.

I forgot about Gatkouth but yeah he the new breed of end and i can see being very sucessful...I kinda already consider Smith as arrived and a player...just on a Osh team you rarely get the chance to prove it...but he has in every chance

I hear size doesn't matter.

You can't teach size. Like I know these guys were big receivers but when both were interviewed after the game oinn TSN I had no idea. No wonder those 2 can ball. Big, physical receivers who make the tough contested catches. Just WTH are we doing?

yeah they have a couple speed guys in Jackson and Berryhill...smaller dudes...But then have those 2 and Cottoy...to get mismatches and win physical battles...We have one guy currently to do that..Clercius and we misuse him almost in a criminal way

Clercius backs up Cobb & I just don't get that. You know he's gonzo when he becomes a FA after this season. Another draft & develop player (for other teams).

Went through this with BOLO a couple seasons ago.

It's not exactly a murderers row of ex-bombers draft picks on other teams

Desjarlais, Exumé, O'Leary-Orange, Dobson, Rene, Ford and Kongbo. By my count.

Desjarlais had one good season coming back from the NFL but the Ottawa OL has been a tire fire the last couple years running. Dobson and Ford would be nice to still have. Maybe Kongbo too but he is on his 4th team already.

Sorry disagree. We have been doing this for years. Who is Rene?

Patrice Rene. Tall DB that the Bombers drafted in 21 or 22. He was injured the first game and out for the year. Let go that offseason and signed with BC. Been an off and on starter.

It's an offensive struggle so far in Edmonton, though the Elks are moving the ball to start the 2nd quarter

having everyone but Exume still here would make us a better team...Thats 5 starters right there that would replace Cobb...Wallace...Elsbury...Moxy and Schmeck...tho Scmeck on and just have Kongbo for Ball works too

Yep I would have made a trade in a heartbeat for Herslow as Bluto suggested a few games ago.

Kind of weird dynamic on this Argo-Edmonton game with two play by play guys calling the game (Ferguson and Farhan), both sharing the play calling and the color commentary. I guess Suits is doing the Edmonton game and Lapo is doing is flag-football thing? Where is Luke Willson??

I don't care what anyone negatively says here about Cody Fajardo. Mostly stupid hatred because he used to play for the Riders. The guy is an elite CFL qb. he's in the Top 3 or 4. his accuracy is incredible. He sliced & diced the Argo secondary today.

Agreed but he is a whiny person which negates his accomplishments

Lots of players whine. Some strut, like Alexander. Some have been suspended, like Kelly. Who cares? Not everyone are Boy Scouts. End of the day, can Fajardo ball with the best of them at qb? He sure can.

He says on a whiny person fan forum. Man, you’re more annoying than Fajardo. Ppl don’t like him cuz ppl these days are scared of someone who isn’t afraid to be themselves. Demski played for the riders. Neufeld did. Nield and several very good to legendary bomber players in the past have also. Cody isn’t liked because why. I don’t know. He’s a better QB than collaros tho.

He has two Cup rings, but his whining and complaining to the refs every time he gets hit, does not endear him to fans.

Hamilton is putting up a pretty good fight against the Riders

3rd and 8 on the 42 and you go for it in a 6pt game? WTF?!? Take your 3 and get a 2 and out.

And it looks like they got Frost hurt on that gamble too.

Oops, that was Ford who got suplexed, not Frost.

Also what’s with kickers wearing clear glasses this year?

Sick catch by wheatfall. One guy I hated to lose this year.

That was a hell of a TD catch by Wheatfall, having a pretty good game
