Last year, we beat Montreal to earn a 9th straight win. Let's do it again tonight.

Everyone outside Manitoba is sick of us winning. **** em all. 28 years of off and on shitty seasons.... We're making up for lost time.

LOL’ouettes

Bet you he still throws better than CoFaj

**** em all. The Bombers have found every which way to win as the reigning back to back champions and I’m enjoying the hell out of it. 2019 - lose your starting qb, blow some massive leads in the reg season, lose your back up qb - oh wait he came back wrapped in duct tape, pull ZC8 off the proverbial scrap heap and just f*cking win 2021 - blow away everyone and play one of the most stressful scary awesome championship games I’ve seen. 2022 - amidst major roster changes, bring on the doubters, the haters, every team gunning for the champs (again) We’ll take the standings, the opposition, the predictions, the power rankings and crush it all.

John Liu is having a midlife crisis it appears.

If we win tonight, we'll finish no worse than .500 this season. We have not finished a season at or below .500 since 2015. This would be our 6th straight season without a losing record and one win away from 6 straight winning seasons. In the Canadian Mafia we trust.

We need Ellingson for two games in the fall. That's it. He can rest and recouperate all year, as long as he plays at IG Field (East) on Sunday, November 13th, and IG Field (West) on Sunday, November 20th.

I am going to take this opportunity to add Fred Stamps to my list of opposing players that I had huge respect for.

Who? Bombers @ Alouettes What? Thursday Night Football When? Thursday, 6:30PM Central Where? Campus of McGill University, Montreal, TSN, and CJOB. Why? FOOTBALLLLLLLL!!!!!

This one’s for Danny Maciocia:

Boy, I wish we had a mike drop emoji. Oh wait...

He’s worth every penny. Injuries happen, he has exceptional chemistry with Collaros and people are already forgetting the impact he’s made. 11 catches for a 152 yards and two touchdowns in his last start, being one of the leading receivers in the league and really our most consistent guy on offense, especially early on in the season before our offense really found its groove, it’s not inconceivable to say without some of his big catches earlier in the year we could have lost a few of those close games to start the season.

Cross bar...?

TheY R’nT the sAMe azz LaST yaiR!!!

They keep qualifying our position in the power rankings with 'at least for now.' The response after the first loss will be interesting.

Damn that horn is annoying.

That's a hell of a spot

Wow. A two foot spot advantage.

Ok the person with that bicycle horn can shove it up his arse anytime now.

It's less than five hours until gametime. Early would be 6am, right? Cause I was definitely sober at 6am.

tHey'vE JuSt bEEn lUcKY!!

Trying to find a gif of his befuddled look on the sidelines after that play. Always makes me think of this one:

But very predictable. It will be "see! Told you they weren't that good!"

Hardly recognize Danny Mac, he's looking "solid".

You’re acting like that might actually happen… Shame on you!

Timing, and pace of the route are essential, as is making the right read of the route tree. Receivers have options on most plays based on the D they are facing. They must make the right read, beat their defender who is trying to throw off their route, and run it at the correct distance and pace. Also being on the same page as your QB is ultra important. We saw Zac and Shoen's convo the other night as they sorted out the route after his TD pass so that they would always be on the same page in that particular play call. You gotta have all that and the physical ability to go with it. It may seem like Dressler was open more than others and he probably was, but a lot of it was just recognizing the defence and knowing where the open area is, going there, and knowing where your QB thinks you will go.

Horn kindly **** off

Biggie will win his 4th DMOP this year Beast

come to the dark side....u will wish u did sooner lol

Thursday wTh is this sorcery type scheduling garbage What's next Toronto and Hamilton Play 4 times in 5 weeks? Alcohol at the stadium is ok. Alcohol at home with the young kids? Not so much. Must admit I was just out in the herb garden tho.

Nah, it’s in me.

ThErE wAs tOO muCh fOg! iTs noT EVen thAt LoUd!

How can anyone be inspired by such a putz?

Not that he was ever slim.

No according to the Athletic(sp?)?He was cut along with Hughes and Gauthier and other high draft choices... can't give you the Athletic link( paid) but here is this one.

First year I had season tickets it was $5 a game in the north endzone and this was only in 2000

Larks going against the Bombers like...

This. You can tell they're just champing at the bit.

Cover 0!

At the current moment, there are only 2 points at which I get concerned: 1. We start losing multiple games in a row directly attributed to his absence 2. The first playoff game and he is still not back Even then, both of those things are out of my control as a fan, so I would classify it more as disappointment rather than concern, no point fretting about what you can’t alter. Next man up, go 1-0, etc. As for injuries making signings bad, it is a risk with every contract signing, but Ellingson has not shown signs of being chronically injured in the past, so still a good signing to me. And as we’ve seen with Collaros, even signing a historically injured player can turn out great.

Oh the good ol’ days when we knew what exactly what happened to Fred Stamps.

And he acts like a pro

There was definitely concern that he would show continued decline (if that's what you think last year was) especially with our history of signing veteran FA receivers. There is/was a lot of PTSD...

Pretty much. We saw disappointment after disappointment from formerly great receivers who came here and were busts. Ellingson has thankfully broken that mold but it was hard to get excited until we actually got to see how good he still is.

Hey @Zach Schnitzer, I read your article https://3downnation.com/2022/07/27/coming-back-stronger-how-the-blue-bombers-helped-me-recover-from-mental-illness/ Great article, thank you for sharing your experience.
