ubbullrun Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 www.ubbullrun.com/2014/7/2/5856998/buffalo-bulls-cfl-winnipeg-blue-bombers-drew-willy Ottawa at Winnipeg (Drew Willy) Last Week: Drew Willy was the shining star of the CFL last week, getting attention on both sides of the border as he led the Blue Bombers to a big win over preseason eastern division favorite Toronto. This Week: The Blue bombers have a chance to start their season 2-0 for the first time in several years when they host Ottawa. The expansion Red Blacks are led by Henry Burris, a quarterback with 17 years of NFL and CFL experience. Last season Burris had an amazing year but he was released by Hamilton in favor of a younger Zach Collaros. Ottawa, who was reportedly looking at Willy in the expansion draft, snatched up Burris. Expectation: I have been told that It's rare in the CFL to see a team put up 40+ points in two straight games and Ottawa did not look like an expansion team during the preseason. The RedBlacks have an experienced roster that won't play like a new team. Willy and the Bombers will still prevail but in a much narrow fashion: Winnipeg 31 - Ottawa 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 The last time the Bomber started 2-0 was in 2011. They also went 0-2 in the pre season that year and made the Grey Cup....... #justsayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I look at it the other way. How do you prepare AS a team who has never played before? Bombers by 20. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair GM Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 A team playing its first game worries me, because I expect them to come out as fired up as they'll be all year. That said, I love how prepared and disciplined O'Shea's Bombers were last week. I don't think O'Shea is the type that tolerates complacency, and expect a really high compete level out of Winnipeg. Think it'll be higher scoring because I don't think Ottawa's going to be able to play great defence with their poor NI situation.

M.O.A.B. Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I want the Bombers to be a part of the new chapter of the Ottawa franchise history. But I want it on a positive note (win) for the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're a little low. well we are going to be denied at least three TD's due to the fact Bryant Turner won't be there forcing fumbles in the end zone. I still say that Willy should play the first half in a lazy-boy, or at least be forced to throw left-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Blue Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ottawa will be competitive tomorrow because they've got a good QB, and I actually expect their defense to look a little better than Toronto's. I would be surprised if this was an easy victory. Then again, I don't mean to brag, but the Bombers are 1-0 when I'm in attendance this year so maybe I just have that effect... rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
