Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined.

Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months.

To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really

Maybe Willy is the 15th best QB in the league...  Jensen looking very much like a starter, Gale looking capable.

I'd rather lose with a young qb than Willy right now. What's the point of playing him? Only MOS thinks he gives us the best chance to win & that's why he'll be gone sooner rather than later. I'd demote him to number 3, make Nicholls the starter & work Davis into the lineup. Time to see if he is starting material. If he can play & does well, I'd try to trade Willy for a bag of footballs or cut him before we're responsible for the remainder of his salary. I'm just sick of the **** we have at qb. How this team makes zero changes in the off season at the qb position & then is forced to during the season to scramble because the qbs they have just suck. Willy sucks. hell, thy don't even bring in decent guys in the off season to push the qbs they already had. Tired of the crap this team throws at its fans & then brazenly asks us for patience.

If nothing else, that game hi-lighted.... just how boring and uninspired our team is.  Riders played like they desperately wanted to deliver for the home fans.

Both teams played as if they believed they could win, and I haven't seen much of that from our side this year or much of last. Whether or not anyone wants to say it our loud, this edition of the Bombers has lost that confidence and needs a major shakeup.

Mosiac was rocking. Victory was there for the taking. Loudest that place has been in a long time. I know it doesn't mean much, but felt dam good to win one at home.

Nice win Ripper, I'm a huge Corky fan and like what he's building there.

Good chance to show-case Franklin in the second half for the Esks., Ti-Cats ain't coming back.

I fear the upcoming game against the Esks. They are hardly breaking a sweat against the Tabbies and mopping the field with them.

Wow, I hope the Bomber D-Backs are watching this performance, without some of the regulars returning it's going to be a gong-show.

Edmonton running away with it with 11:00 to go in 3rd quarter and might as well play the whole bench. We'll probably see Franklin real soon. To think we could have had Reilly, Bowman and Watson...but I can't think about that right now...tomorrow is another day...

They definitely have to give Franklin reps. when they can, sooner or later Reilly will be knocked out for a few games and it could be later in the season.

Wow Ti-Cats making a game of it.

Wow. I don't know what they shot Masoli up with at half-time, but he has bumped Willy down to 16th best quarterback in the league.

Wild On Edmonton

Nope, Wild still plays for the Bombers and they can't have him.

Jaw dropping. Wtf is happening to the schmoes. Total collapse. Fans booing. Record for Masoli.

An amazing classic CFL game and you weren't the only one who bailed.

Jeremiah Masoli sets new CFL record for most consecutive completions in a single game with 23, surpassing Jason Maas who got the record against...no surprise...WPG.

What a coincidence third on the list is Ray against Wpg.

I was hoping no one would mention that.
