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

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

Bombers 300 Ottawa 4

That will be the score, but only if Willy plays the whole first half in a lazy-boy recliner.

Winnipeg 1 - Ottawa 0

Interesting side note... from an article in the freep.... how do you prepare for a team that's never played before.... I think it will be a close game

I look at it the other way.

How do you prepare AS a team who has never played before?

Bombers by 20.

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. 

 

Bombers 36 - Roughrenegblacks 27

Chemistry is a big key on the OL and that's gonna be an issue for the ReturnBacks.

I thought the Jets would win their first game based on their emotion too... Bombers 5 - Redblacks 1

All you have is preseason footage so you're right, that will be a challenge..

Hmm, does Ottawa have Tim Stapleton on their roster?

Bombers 300 Ottawa 4

Wahoo wahoo wahoo wahoo............you really think the Bomber will only score 300?  I think you're a little low.

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.

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.

Bombers 300 Ottawa 4

What about the second half?

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...

Winnipeg 128 Ottawa -14

 

Mike O'Shea will find a way.

The Bombers are 1-0 this year when I am falling down drunk so I guess I'll have to take one for the team and do it again...sigh...

I was thinking more like aspirin, an oxygen tank, nausea suppressant and ice bags.
