"Cam Lawson at DT with Thomas & Schmekel sitting out.

He sucks

I met the soon to be mother of my child at the Bomber game against B.C. our first date was August 3rd 2023 We beat the Lions 50-14, I had my last ever first date, Less then 2 years later, we have season tickets together, we bought a home, and we’re expecting our first kid together. A lot do amazing memories In a short amount of time, especially against the B.C. Lions! Go Bombers!

Shove this win up your ass, Jamie Nye

Practice notes from DT via Twitter. Vanterpool at LG Kramdi is practicing Jarious Jackson has arrived.

Something no one has mentioned so far was I thought Hogan called a hell of a game. We’re going to score a lot of points this season whether it’s number 17 or number 8, I really enjoyed some of the X’s and O’s He drew up. I think you’re going to see an opportunity for good receivers to make plays often in this offense.

I really don’t get any of the Myron Mitchell hype. I would be incredibly unaffected if he were to be cut tomorrow.

First practice of the regular season is today. Out with the old and in with the new. Time to get it started.

You win that challenge you take 3 points off the board and have the ball. That’s the worst pi I’ve seen in ages.

Collaros is literally Uncle Rico way past his physical prime but all he wants to do is throw the ball over them mountains

1 strevy almost 250 3 tds, did every thing he needed to for us to win 2 Peterson stepped in for Brady, over 130 yards on 23 carries. didn’t miss a beat 3 wheatfall 5 127 and 1td with 69 yac hh the first td pass to Demski really set a high tone for the offence and game crunch of the game mci with the pop forcing a fumble and turn over on kick cover block of the game big Stan way down field blocking for the screen pass to wheatfall awe that’s dirty. Strevs throw away in the 4th he was hit late and hit in the head and with no call while bc chirped him. honorable mentions Demski jones bonds adams Lawson wj schoen vaval

Vanterpool in for Dobson is a major upgrade up front too. Vanterpool would be my player of the game. Here's a stat for you: Peterson averaged 130 yards per game in his last 2 years of U Sports. 130 yards rushing in his first CFL game. Took a few more carries to get there than it did in U Sports...but still.

Give some love to wheatfall too who looked like a legit threat out there.

Maybe it’s because we’ve seen the same stubborn loyalty to veterans for a few seasons and some people would like to see the team adopt a slight shift in philosophy so that it could potentially lead to winning the Grey Cup, not just being in it.

This game showed me why I'm glad Buck Pierce is the hell & gone as OC. Stev's best game of his pro career. He showed he can play qb. Changed up his fundamentals this off season. He showed that if you give him the entire playbook & not just make him a one dimensional raging ground warrior or gimmicky qb he can make the throws. For that we can thank LaPo & his protege Buck Pierce. Lapo had at least a bit of imagination with Streveler in 2018 & 19. He actually used him the best at the time considering back then his limitations as an actual qb plus his inability to read a CFL defense. Pierce OTOH was just sadistic expecting him to go out there & take the punishment that he did. I'm excited for Jarious Jackson as his position coach.

9 defensive tackles. 1 TFL, 7 other tackles within 5 yards of LOS. Not going to see many better games from a MAC LB in the league.

Strev - **** you to anyone who says he can't play QB Rookie RB - To not be overwhelmed in the moment is almost unbelievable, given the circumstances. Vaval - Not even our best returner and looked fantastic.. HH - The Trinity for walking around with a 2 footer and a wheelbarrow. Dear CFL, We just did that you your golden child without our QB, our MOP RB, our Returner, and not close to our best possible defense. Watch. The ****. Out.

Guys, this is going to be shocking so please sit down before you read any further. Jamie Nye has picked the Bombers to lose and the Riders to win this week on his cfl.ca weekly predictor. I hope none of you were injured after collapsing from the shock.

Bombers 18-0 Everyone else 0-18. **** em all. They hate us cause they ain't us.

Bombers cut Myron Mitchell

3-0 overall, 3-0 versus the West. Its all coming up, Blue Bombers.

Yeah....He had a perfect group of guys to catch league off-guard at first to toss up a lot of contested balls...and got lucky with that...and they let an awfull lot of OPI go on with his 2 big targets....But teams figured him out...and he faded....also his quick strike plays when not there, and he had to actually decipher a defense...well you seen the difference Our defense especially with multiple looks...and the same looks but it switches at snap...utterly confuses him Betts too...One big season and a lot of that was questionable "was he offside" crap...once he started to get called....and guys got hands on him...What he do? Not a helluva lot...except pout and show a piss poor attitude My gripe with a lot of the CFL Media and especially TSN is this over the top/unwarranted Canadian pushing with certain players....I get it's the CFL but enough already....Market and promote the actual top players who been doing it for yrs...regardless of where they were hatched. The average joe fan or a lot of the new fans they are wanting to pull in...and a lot of them are...and where a it's a huge market is within the immigrant community...they could give a rats ass...Most Canadians really could care less other than a small fraction...Whats it really matter...it's played in Canada...under unique Canadian rules by a lot of Americans who call Canada home yr round...promote that aspect Not to look at things thru blue glasses but it really is an injustice to BO that the powers that be in the CFL don't promote him more...What Canadian RB post the late 70's early 80's...Or player for that matter has won back to back MOC....A MOP and MOC season...gunning for 4 straight 1000 yard seasons...lead league multiple in a row...and actually grew up in Canada...played all his formative ball in Canada prior to College?....These the guys that should be getting the attention

Update: Oliveira is feeling much better than expected over the last 24 hours and may possibly only miss 1 game. He apparently said that he even hopes to suit up this weekend, but i would think thats highly unlikely. Its a long season and im sure the Bombers would err on the side of caution with him, especially with how Peterson looked.

Rolling out a lousy depth chart, not sure what to expect but......LFG!!!!!!!!

There’s no way the OL changes aside from injury. Take out Sterns, play one less American on D, drop Ayers or the returner….all things that happen before the OL changes. Just had 450 yards of offense with basically one half of Streveler in rhythm (never affected by rush on a drop back) and all but one drive with a guy who was playing against the Bisons 8 months ago at tailback. We can live without edge rush. OL is priority 1000%.

Bottom line is there were a hell of a lot of guys with standout games tonight and that is an amazing things IMO. What a statement to open the season.

2 main issues to me are, one WR injury away from Corcoran being out there every play and no DE depth for 2 guys in their 30s.

Because the DL depth sucks on the depth chart... they've got a linebacker listed as the only backup DE... they've got 3 Canadian DTs for some reason instead of proper DE depth. We can quibble about whether they made the right choices in terms of players at db or lb but what they did with the DL is a god damned disgrace from a positional perspective.

They'd be thin out of the gate to always have 2 Canadians out on D, but it wouldn't be that bad. You'd need 2 of Kramdi, Lawson/Thomas, Munier-Bailey, Shay, Smith, Gauthier, Hallett on the field on any given snap. Chances are we will have 2 of those guys on the field anyway. If the difference is QB having time to move the ball vs QB not having time to move the ball, it's a pretty easy call.

I’ve spent years researching this and I am fairly confident that Booch is the Rock

We should win this, need to see Zach put up solid #'s, defense needs to contain Ford, dont let it be a trap game. LETS ******* GO!!!!

I definitely agree. Once the existing head coaches retire or die, we should just fold the league.

Lol. Bombers' social media team were ready:

Peterson has had a nice 4th quarter

Collaros at least a top 10 QB in this league.

Well said. You’ve definitely earned your stripes today.

Big Wreck?...The Rider Organization has a band??....haha...I'll show myself out now

My conclusion: Brady is Wolverine.

HH to Hogan who had a team put up 34 points and 450 yards without Zach and Brady. How many OCs have a team do that without their starting QB and RB?

Oh yeah one more thing. Why don't the Lions ever play Betts when they come to town? They could have really used him last night! Lolololol

Strev looked just fine on rhat drive...from his goaline

I’ll never understand these type of posts. The majority of us are just shooting the **** offering up a variety of opinions on the great, the good and the bad of certain aspects of the BB. Its where we come to escape and play gm/coach/consultant. And my opinion with lots of in-depth analysis behind it is BC sucks.

Ouellette at the 2025 Banjo Bowl

I just want to see Winnipeg hosting the Cup at PAS on November 16.

Our entire defense aside from Jefferson Gauthier and Thomas has turned over since 2022. Kickers, receivers. Not sure the emotional reaction to cut down day is warranted. But I guess football is too boring.

Luc Mullinder makes Kate and the TSN crew seems like Straight Fire.

MORE LINEBACKERS!!!

This is pretty much Riderfans during any Bomber game

Lots to learn from that game. Edmonton exposed our coverages by running switch routes where guys cross and go vertical to other side of field they started from. Our HB's and Safety made really bad reads on what route they needed to prioritize on some of those plays and Edmonton hit/almost hit several big plays off those. Nichols kind of got lost on the TD and jumped eligible OL...but really who cares about that guy at midfield, not a threat, while Bridges stayed with his guy across the field and the other wideout got passed off twice, third time (when he turned vertical) to no one because Nichols was out in the flat on a OL. Then he was running by himself to the endzone with the ball. You know it's a bad bust when a guy is running completely free on a play from the minus side of midfield because our coverages hugely prioritize sitting on vertical routes basically until they cross the 30. But the games are so long, have 4-5 negative plays are going to happen. You want to be able to get those back with turnovers and sacks.
