I think by now, there have been enough examples of vets being cut to dispel this fan-created rumour....

because we're not *******.

Imagine if Bill Belichick went back to Drew Bledsoe instead of Tom Brady.

older star runningback taken a lot of work load the last few years gets an extended midseason break... yeah that's gonna be nothing but good going into the stretch run with some games against good teams on the schedule.

Hopefully we’ll rested and motivated! This could actually benefit us down the stretch as crazy as that sounds.

Straight up all time legend status...

they aren't playing in sask though.

I could go with either Matt Streveler or Chris Nichols

You guys do realize that Mike O'Shea is our head coach right? I would bet my house Nichols starts as soon as he is 100% healthy regardless of the standings or how Streveler is playing. MOS+Vets=Blind Love

well it did take Jefferson a few games to really get going, remember we all left the first couple weeks thinking yeah he was OK, but we should get more, well now safe to say he's got it down and is flat out dominating.

Won't someone think of the poor oil companies. They're just the little guy, trying to make ends meet.

Not a chance we want to be lame like that..

Fun stuff here, MAxime Bernier 2.0- a better, funnier, and more rhinoy Maxime. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/election-2019/rhino-party-says-its-maxime-bernier-to-run-in-same-riding-as-ppcs-maxime-bernier https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/maxime-bernier-rhino-party-beauce-1.5278902 "In a statement to Radio-Canada, the PPC said it was "a good joke" but that they were "confident that the people of Beauce will vote for the Maxime Bernier they know, and not the one imported from Lac Saint-Jean." As for the Rhino candidate, he said that if anyone is confused, they can refer back to his slogan. "If you're not sure, then vote for both!""

There’s no way we can bench Strev if we’re still in first. I’d be livid.

i think if we can manage any more key injuries from not happening...and get all our current starters back for the last 6 games at some point...we should be in a really good spot regardless who we trot out at QB All I want to see from Strev in next few is more progression, no revisiting of past errors due to inexperience as a starter, and a bit more evolving of the offence to make things more conducive to him, and a headache for DC's and if this occurs we roll with him until Nichols is 100% healthy, and even then if things are still trending upwards I stick with him and have the Ace in the hole of Nichols in the bull-pen if and when he falters

BLM is a good game manager.

Well that, and a pretty good chicken dance..

Great deal.

So Hughes has been one-gamed...I guess ol Dickie trying to preserve him so he doesn't fall off the map yet again as he has seemed to already have started his swoon..

You can invest in renewables AND make some money off of our fossil fuel resources at the same time. The world isn't using any less oil and it won't in the foreseeable future, all we are doing it letting other countries profit from it rather than profiting ourselves. IN addition to that oil and gas companies, aka ENERGY companies are fleeing this country so their investment in renewables is leaving the country yet again leaving us in the dust. An economy still needs primary industries, if not oil and gas and energy then what pray tell shall we make money off of?

Some interesting Game Notes: Coming into this game, both Ottawa and BC are 1-8 in their last 9 games. BC is 1-4 in games decided in the final 3:00. 👁‍🗨Somehow, someway, they will both be 1-9 after tonight. - Since 2014, the Lions and REDBLACKS have split their 10 meetings. Ottawa is 2-3 in 5 previous visits to B.C. Place. - Odell Willis has now gone 7 games without a QB Sack. This is the longest streak of his CFL career (previous: 6 in a row 2017). - BC has started 10 different players and 8 different starting 5 combinations on the O-Line in 2019. - BC's pass defence had just 4 INTs in the first 8 games - over their last 3 games they have had 5 interceptions. - Jonathon Jennings returns to B.C. Place where he has started 22 previous games going 12-10 for the Lions. (Last week, Jennings completed a career-high 33 passes - his previous best mark was 32 vs Hamilton in 2018). - Mike Reilly was sacked twice last week (matching the fewest allowed since the 1st game of the year). He has been sacked 45 times. - The Lions have been held scoreless in the 1st Quarter in their last 3 games. They have not led after the 1st Quarter in their last 8 games. - Ottawa has been outscored in the 4th Quarter in 8 of their 11 games. - Bryan Burnham has 4 of BC's 6 100-yard receiving games, and at 84.8 yds per game is on pace for a career-high 1,442 yards. 👁‍🗨 Brian, don’t you wish you were a Bomber instead? - Mossis Madu had just 6 carries last week but was targeted 14 times making 12 receptions for 83 yards (2nd highest single game). - Over the last 2 games, Garry Peters has 11 tackles, all 3 of his interceptions, and a forced fumble. - Despite two recent misses, Lewis Ward's career FG% made mark sits at 96.4 on 81-of-84 attempts. Still be headed for A Wards this coming fall - At 30,292 yards Mike Reilly is poised to pass Tom Burgess (#16 at 30,308) and Sam Etcheverry #15 at 30,381) this week. 👁‍🗨 Too bad he won’t remember any of it.

If you think about it, UK Bomber’s handle for Streveler, “the leveller” is apropos.

Lesson to all young coaches - entertain the media... it buys you an extra year or two

Every time someone says the devils name, they need to buy the board a round at the rum hut.

True. We also need to consider the mess this team was in after Joe Mack LOL. We are now starting to see the depth of this team and we are able to let go of some of these vets as well.

The best to ever do it

MOS will for sure have input into player transactions but at the end of the day its Walters' decision. Ill believe MOS has changed when I see it. Im still bitter about Sam Hurl lol.

We were winning with Nichols which is why I think MOS will put him back in. He very much strikes me as a "you don't lose your job because of injury" kind of guy.

If it would make you angry then I am sure they won't do it. After all, appeasement of the fan base has been the key to the Bombers' success over the last 25 years.

kicker?

I'd suggest you get whatever coping method you use, ready. This is MOS after all

Personally I would have him on the bench, but ready to go in if need be. If Streveler is playing well up to then, You start him in the WF and give him a good quarter of work to see where he is at...if he is struggling you can then bring in Nichols to try and right the ship...and if anything let Strev see things from the sidelines and recompose things...if Nichols is struggling and not getting it done then bring back Strev...

I've seen this a couple times lately......it's actually "Tongue-IN-Cheek"..... ....Okay, I'm good now....

Im on the fence... BLM is back... but with 3 INTs and didn't air it out at all really The 'Great Dane' is a dink and dunker who was sacked what 7-8 times by TO? Bombers biggest challenge is staying mentally focused...

Yes, now that we're through the soft part of our schedule, we're going to need him for games against the big boys like Calgary, Montreal and Hamilton.

Better than Lofler. Hecht's not in chase mode like Lofler was & we're much better defending the pass than in previous years so he is doing his job.

Hecht is good with the ball in the air but once he’s gotta make a play in the open field he’s pretty ... bad

Sorry you missed the point of my post, it was to illustrate that Postmedia is anxious to climb into bed with the Conservatives in order to spread misinformation in the form of "advertorials" throughout their media outlets. An example of which was just debunked by Wideleft's post above, the oil end of the equation was discussed previously prior to the Alberta election.

Hecht is often late getting to a play, so he definitely doesn't have big time speed, but I think more often than not he's in the right place and gets the job done. Serviceable is right....

I don't think Hecht deserves the heat he's taking on here, but I would absolutely be in for taking a good safety if there is one...

How do you make Cameron Judge cry?

I think we already have our next safety on the roster. Exume has all the skills to play the position.

With the amount of free agents it's really hard to see how the 2020 roster even looks from this far out.

He's Mark Wheeler's brother in law.

Thanks for the realism, but here's a bit more realism for you: We've beaten Calgary before. Sure they're getting better, but if we play our best, we win. Could we lose? Sure. But I'd bet that they are more concerned about playing us than we are about playing them. There's a reason we're first in the west right now and it's not an accident.

Lots of "I'm worried about this team or that team" right now. Here's my take; we only need to worry about 1 team. The Bombers. If they're on, there isn't a team that can run with them. Period. So that means that maybe, we call all just take a deep breath and let them do this thing, one game at a time.
