Not sure if salvation is around the corner ..but at least I know, the gin is.....

Hate to 'nit-pic' after a nice win like that BUT....How the hell can the refs not call a penalty on that obvious bloody kick by Rainey on one of our down field tacklers AND then call a wimpy sad sack b.s. call on us the very next play...Rainy tried to bury his cleats into one of our players bare arm and the refs blow it off...That kind of bull$hit has to be called...

HH - Mike Miller doing his best Danny Amendola by laying out for a beauty 6 yarder.....FBs aren't supposed to make those.

I'm surprised this thread is so quiet? A big win by the Blue and I thought the o-line looked fantastic and the d-line as well had their way all night. The only negative I have from watching the game is the onside kick and cheap shot at the very end. What was the point of Wally calling for the onside kick and the guy who took the cheap shot I would hope gets suspended. That was as intentional as could be.

Not to take anything away from our D because they played a great game, but Jennings missed a lot of easy throws and was flat out terrible. It's easy to look good when you're playing QB's as bad as Jennings or Willy. We need to have a game like this against Reilly, BLM or even Trevor Harris.

Loved how the play calling allowed Streveler to get in the game with meaningful and productive reps. Finally got to see how good the short yardage + hurry up offense can be, without LeFevour screwing it up. Yeah some pretty classless shots by BC players late in the game. Wally didn’t even blink an eye. You can be sure Osh will be in his players ears about discipline and conduct.

Buono continues to show what a clown he is. Win or lose, he never fails to show his colours. Glad we smoked them.

Happy Honker to Ryan Lankford for getting his sorry ass benched - return game was much better with Cooper back there.

Being the homer that I am i'd disagree. Replay showed to me the BC player had no intention in trying to catch/knock ball out of bounds. His attention from the start was purely on hitting Adams.

Seeing the big Canadian receivers like Peterman and Woli lining up as tight ends and making big blocks and big catches... good stuff. Harris is steamrolling the already exhausted BC D. Streveler continues to contribute. Adams having a solid night as predicted by posters here. I'm loving this O tonight.

Thought our DE's rebounded nicely, tonight....

Best birthday ever.

Oline was outstanding tonight. Harris was a beast. Bighill played well. List goes on and on. Oh and its nice to have a guy who can throw, running the short yardage and hurry up package.

Nichols was lights out IMO. Nichols threads needles and proved he can still use his legs when called for. Streveler can keep doing what he's doing, it's plenty enough.

Wally classless prick Called a -- onside kick (next) Saturday they pay

What a hurdy gurdy league, near impossible to predict who will win on a weekly basis.

I hate when this word is used in this context. I love the irony of you misspelling this word in this context.

I sure hope so. With the Lions and Riders missing out in the West.

I think the p.a. should have played the 'Lion Sleeps Tonight'...We put them to bed early...Bighill was a nightmare for Wally and Nichols looked great...with a little Streve thrown in...If this club ever gets consistent and with the talent now pretty much evident....hmmmmm..I won't plan a Cup route yet but man we sure looked good last night...Now comes one of the hardest things to accomplish...finish off the other team in a back to back...Off to the coast to give Wally another sleepless night....heh heh

1. Harris 2. Bighill 3. Oka HH-Streveler The Off The Hot Seat for 1 Week: Hall

I'm not ready to throw Bowman under the bus. He has been our least productive starting receiver thus far, but do we know for sure that he hasn't opened up room for other receivers to get open? Do we know what his blocking on runs and sweeps has been like? Maybe he is doing what is asked of him. Now I do admit I would have liked to see more effort on that end zone toss, but I think his production will come.

I would expect they will face Lulay next week, it could be a whole different ball game.

M.O.S. showing progress as a H.C., finally taking out his starters and allowing his backups real game time to improve their play.

Player of the Game..........Tristan Okpaluago He wore a long sleeved sweat shirt under his equipment in this weather and didn't melt or pass out.

Nichols at the helm Streveler finds a way to help Where's Adarius? Bighill with the picks Best linebacker, no offense... ...Elimimian Whelp! We've lost the game May as well injure someone Call an onside kick

He will have a big game or 2 eventually... As long as we win and getting contributions... But.. Nichols only threw for 162 yards so... If he's throwing for 350 400 and Bowman has nothing then I'll start to get a little concerned.

Nichols was throwing to his more familiar guys. Makes sense. Needs time to maybe get in sync with Bowman

A few drivers were killed by dropped passes by Adams... at least Nicholls was putting the ball where the receivers could make the catch.

Some of that was Harris chewing up yards on the ground.

He may become Chris Jones next object of salvation.

The Bombers after a win.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s no cross over this year.

Okay, so my son is getting married later today. We're in Portland, Oregon & we just had a post wedding rehearsal party for our family & friends in our hotel room which has really turned into a hospitality room for everyone. I usually don't have a lot to drink anymore but I've had a few pops tonight. I'm not the partier I used to be but this evening I decided to let my hair down & just enjoy everything as a Dad. It was wonderful spending time with family & friends so far & I'm feeling pretty good right now.. LOL. My son & his fiancée met at Junior College in California in 2011 & have been together in a long distance relationship while both have lived all over North America ever since. He was an NCAA D2 qb & she was an All American softball pitcher They were able to make it work while both have lived apart in South Carolina, Pittsburgh, Northern California, Calgary, Seattle, Victoria & Kelowna. Now, the are finally together & will be living in the Seattle area. My son will be coaching qbs privately while doing stone masonry work (when he is able to work) while his wife works in the sports industry as a marketing rep for a large American sporting goods company. So proud of both of them & ecstatic they have finally tied the knot after 7 years. As I've embided tonight I promise to be on my best behaviour. Life is pretty damned good right now.

HH to Fenner on special teams made 3really good tackles. Honourable mention to Dressler who made some though catches. 1. Bighill 2.Harris 3.oline Nichols did not get touched tonight.

Well deserved win for the Bombers. All facets of the team played better than BC and the score fully reflected this fact. Harris is always a star for the Bombers, but this is the first game where I thought Bighill exceeded expectations. This is the first game where I thought both Jeffcoat and Poop played like they were last year - need to see more of that next game.

Jennings was horrible but the pressure from the d line sure didn’t help his accuracy and his overall performance

More likely there's just a complete lack of options out there for qbs. I mean look at what we were left with when Nichols for hurt and Durant called it a day. Had to bank on a rookie cause there's no one to bring in. I know some people think Adams is hot **** but he's already washed out of several places, including Montreal so he's hardly worthwhile. And further more, when Mack first got here do we not remember that he went out and got both Pierce and Jyles? Guy tried the CFL experience route, but Jyles wasn't worth much and Pierce was broken.

Personally baffled Mathews is still on anyone's depth chart nevermind yet another opportunity to start.

Matthews was given some pretty good looks, including by (Need I Remind You) Marc Trestman. I certainly trust his judgement much more than yours on QBs, and that he elected not to keep Matthews is pretty telling.

Masoli holds the CFL record for consecutive completions. 2016.... Look what he did with the team that collaros went 0 and 8 with. The idea that Masoli is not good dies hard.

To be honest I think it’s an underestimation of Masoli. Would have been better off forcing him to make throws than read blitz and move the ball quickly. They were prepared for that.

The Board of Directors should have zero say in who the coaches are. They put the CEO in place and that is all.

"These are my thoughts, please list all reasons why you agree with me".

Just out of curiosity, why do you make these threads if all you do is stifle any discussion in them? Hell I agree with you ... your approach is just weird

Not the best argument to convey you're point.

Offensive lack of production : 1st quarter 76 yds 2nd quarter 55 yds 3rd quarter 10 yds 4th quarter 200 yds when the score was 31-10 Does the lack of offensive time of possession and production impact the defence? Placing sole blame on the defence is an over simplification.

Hall should have been replaced in the off season, but now isn't the time to change DC's. Sadly, we need to wait until the next off season now.
