Eternal optimist

Don't get me wrong, Flanders has done well as a backup to Harris. Thing is, he's just that - a backup.

I can't wait till the Stamps crap the bed at home in November against us in the Western Final.

Goat of the game: Johnny Adams on that fumble "recovery" attempt.

Even then, the "placebo" effect is well-documented in medicine as providing positive results. Also, who do we want to win this game? B.C. to further push the Eskies away from us? .. or Edmonton, to allow us to possibly gain ground on B.C.? I'd be leaning towards Edmonton... either way though I'm hoping for injuries...suspensions... or both.

How has FOX Network not created an NFL-version of this as a reality TV show? This seems like exactly the kind of thing they'd jump at.

If we lose Saturday, I'm considering this my silver lining... we're just luring them into a false sense of security.

It just adds.... insult to injury? ..I'll show myself out.

This signing would probably help sell more tickets.

It's more than that though... I can't remember the last time the Bombers had a kicker they could place faith in. Is his impact overstated? Probably, but the kicker position is somewhere the Bombers have struggled with and had mediocrity for far too long. Palardy, anyone?

*facepalm* ... yep you're right, quickly looked up the 'Stamps season and Edmonton was the first L on record - it was their preseason game

Edmonton beat 'em (and we beat Edmonton, in Edmonton), Ottawa tied 'em - Calgary is a good football team but I feel they are overdue for a loss. On top of that, they just clinched a playoff berth last week. Doesn't happen in the CFL that often (since they play weekly), but in the NHL on long road trips or back-to-back games, sometimes great NHL will take a night off and lose to a far inferior team. So in conclusion... if the Bombers show up, Calgary skates lazily and the game is played on ice, we have a chance.

Not sure about the Bombers... but for the Riders I'd have to say... Most Outstanding Player - Chris Jones Most Outstanding Canadian - Chris Jones Most Outstanding Defensive Player - Chris Jones Most Outstanding Lineman - Chris Jones Most Outstanding Special Teams Player - Chris Jones Most Outstanding Rookie - Chris Jones Probably the biggest signing by the Riders this year.

With the NFL season starting up, for those interested here's a list of players with previous CFL experience that were recently cut from NFL rosters: http://3downnation.com/2016/09/04/cfl-landing-spots-final-nfl-cuts/ The article is a few weeks old (Sept 4), but likely still has merit.

Thanks for the help, neighbors.

I'll make the effort to correctly spell his name when he makes the effort to correctly hit field goals!

Gotta say nothing was better than Hardkaghiuerkjshb missing that field goal - the best part was he thought he had it - did the high-five with his holder and everything, then had to cover the return...

My HH goes to Ricky Foley, thanks for turning a Bomber interception and loss of momentum into a 15-yard penalty for roughing the passer. It kept the drive alive, and the Bombers would score 24 unanswered points after that.

It'd be interesting to see if there is any correlation between this statistic and the amount of rushing attempts the QBs have - the fact that Tony Washington is so high on that list may also be due to some additional pressures being caused by Reiley scrambling... it could just as easily be because he sucks at blocking though.

So long as the draft is just slightly weaker, and not green-and-white bad.

That. Is insane. Seriously their team is 9-1-1... what more do Calgary fans WANT???

A sack, on the other hand is defined as when the other common excrement comes out of said QB.

A few more days at the buffet and he could probably play o-line in a pinch.

The thought of dropping off a pass to Harris out of the backfield with Lewis blocking up front does sound pretty good.

I know Lochard looked pretty good in limited action against the Riders, but is anyone else worried our run game will disappear if Harris doesn't start?

Someone always has to ruin it for the rest of us... sadly these incidents are likely more common than they used to be. I love my Bombers and feel I paid for my right to be loud, enjoy the game and cheer on the Blue and Gold, even some kind-hearted jabs at away team fans, but never to this extent. At the end of the day though, it's entertainment and it could be a Riders, Bombers or Montreal Expos fan for all I care everyone deserves a basic level of decency and respect from their fellow fans. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
