Ed Tait piece from Monday practice says Dressler returns this week, but still no Johnny Adams. Also, Trent Corney and Bruce Johnson questionable for this week, while Randle sat out yesterday but should be good to go Thursday (took a vet day)......

Curious what happens if Johnson comes out (maybe a good thing, depending on back-up...)

yup if you don't have the Tigercats locked in on Draftkings and the TSN pool then you need to re-examine your draft skills.

Yeah... the crowd will definitely lock in the Ticats D.  But you don't win GPP's on DraftKings picking with the crowd.  A desperate Bombers squad is a total long shot... you'd take down 1st place if you had the right players.

You need massive stones to do it, but Bombers are the play this week if you want to take down a big GPP.

Castillo on the 46?

I'm assuming Waggoner will see more playing time to spell Bass. Interested to see him on the MLB position.

Same with Loffler on the SAM.

After some twitter rants, Hubbard got in the lineup. He has to show up ...  otherwise, shut up.

 

I would think Bond and Castillo are the 2-reserves. That's almost a given.

If O'Shea will carry 2-import kickers, it would be a  big question how he pick his gameday roster.

If Willy struggles early, I just want to see a change at QB... not necessarily a permanent change, but just to mix it up...

O'Shea, on the topic of whether he would sit Drew Willy for a series or two for Matt Nichols during a game:

"No, I've not considered it. I believe our guy is playing at a pretty good clip. Now, the next thing you're going to say is, "Well, not to start a game?" He's working through his progressions quickly, he's making throws, he's thrown some balls into some really tight windows for good completions. He's got to grow in this offence, also, but the only way he's going to grow is if he keeps playing."

I'm definitely feeling a Bombers win tomorrow night.

Its time for Waggoner to show that he has the stuff to be a CFL pro. He has the college experience, size and smarts, so he should cook or get off the stove. Bass did not do well last game, but neither did most of the defence, so lets see what Bass does tomorrow.

edit

Listened to the the John Hodge podcast re Calgary game.... they talked quite a bit about the 12 seconds choke at the end of the first half. According to them the Bombers had a time out available to be used. If that's correct..... that they had a time out, and didn't use it.....

 

To me, that 12  second choke, (assuming they had a time out) into the third year of this group, is  a strong indication that they do not have what it takes.

I will go into this game with mild optimism (like always). My fear is that it will dimish by half time...(as it has far too often lately)

I'm not sure I can even hold on until half time.....there has to be some improvement soon or the stadium will be empty 

All I want is to see a little bit of progress. The past two weeks have seen regression from this team....want to see something positive going forward...

me to. Progress. A close game win or lose is progress.....our offensive line playing better and protecting the qb and opening up the running game would be progress

I don't care one lick about progress.... I want a win. I'm completely over 'trying real hard', 'watching the film' and the 'these guys are good professionals'. Win or make some changes.

I want an even time of possession in the first half.

I don't want to see any garbage time...

That's why you're so angry all the time. The process matters and a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

I dont care how will they do it but I want a 'WIN'.

Heck I dont care if someone from the Bombers get to the Ticats bench and knockout Austin. Lol!

Disagreeing with what the Bombers do and disagreeing with other posters isn't the same as being angry. Progress and process don't matter until they result in wins.

I agree with you... however, we're into year 3 and this team seems to be no better than week 1, 2014... the Redblacks are in their 3rd year of existence and are considered a grey cup contender...

I don't want to spend 40 years walking in the desert. Twenty-five years is quite enough.

Same old, same old. We win if we control the ball - both ways. Can we not expect for our OC, the film-breakdown artist extraordinaire to plot a game plan to fit what we expect to happen? ? ...ie Hamilton will have heat-seeking personnel, all vying for a piece of Willy. We know this. PLAN FOR IT.

We're up against Masoli. Not Collaros. This is as close as we get.

That's when I started on these boards...  only joined because i felt like Kelly and Bauer were gutting an aging but still talented team and putting this franchise into a death spiral...  boy was I wrong...
