It's confirmed. Tragic. Emery was just 35.

You actually have an opinion. Instead of asking everyone first. #stickyourneckout

I think that you probably care a lot more than you'd like to admit. After 28 years we Bomber fans have developed some pretty good defensive coping mechanisms to deal with the yearly depressing failures we experience . One of them is to say (think?) that we don't care when we actually do. That way, when they lose we can just say to ourselves that we knew that they would anyway just to make the hurt seem less & then get ready for Xmas a month or so away...

I live in Calgary as well but I still have that blue & gold blood in my veins. I can't give up on the Blue Bombers as I have 53 years invested in the team. I'd still be a STH if I lived in Winnipeg. This team can be frustrating at times & we all know that especially after last night. As fans, we've been waiting a long time to return victorious to The Promised Land. We know that it's our turn. We just don't know when that turn will come.

That's on Walters & McManus for sure. The coaches can only coach the guys they scout & sign. I agree that receivers have been a problem. We do have some young Canadian talent that I think will develop into great slots but we have nowhere near the group of Internationals Edmonton & Calgary have. The only way to improve is to keep signing receivers & bringing them in which is something I don't think we do enough of. That's what the Stamps do. Even with the group they have now Huff will still bring in guys for a look see. They target a certain skill set. The guys they scout are tall, fast & physical. (Except for Marken Michel who is a speed demon). You don't see many receivers with Edmonton or Calgary that are under 6'1 & 200 lbs. And they actually push the starters. they know that if they don't produce that they'll be replaced as there is always someone waiting in the wings. Anyway, that's what the Eskimos & Stamps do. It's something we don't.

From everything I've read here I'm glad I missed the game. I have it PVR'd & was going to watch it but I'm glad I heard the score first. Now, I think I'll just delete the game as I don't want to watch it. Why we always have trouble beating the Lions at BC Place is beyond me & it's starting to go beyond frustrating. The Bombers have the talent to do great things this year. Why we can't seem to put it all together is another mind boggler. Having not seen the game I really can't say what happened last night. I do have confidence that Nichols will bounce back. Not ready to write the guy off yet.

Lulay won't make it thru the season. JJ will be the starting qb soon enough again. I like Lulay. He's a decent guy on & off the field so I really don't want to see him injured again but I don't think he can stand up to another 13 games as the Lions starting qb.

We always play badly at BC Place.

Wow, what a deterrent that is. He'll never be bad again.

I didn't see the game. How did our D play? Part of the collapse?

Any changes will be made this off season so let's get thru this one before any talk of firing Hall takes place as it won't happen. Should Hall be let go, damn right he should but unless the defense totally collapses & I mean TOTALLY collapses, he won't be fired this season.

This is Nichols second game back. He'll find the chemistry with Bowman again.

Lulay can really light it up with the receivers he has. Our D better come ready to play.

So then, do you parade in the nude? Or just never go out.

Suitor & Black leaving TSN football broadcasts would be a huge positive step for the CFL. Both are assclowns & way too comfortable in their roles.

He won't. It'll be the Travis Lulay Man Love Fest all game. Or the Jonathan Jennings Man Love Fest if he goes in... Total BS.

Wally WAS a great coach. Not anymore. I have no idea why he came back this year.

Yeah, that shot of him whining to a coach looked very pathetic.

WHAT a deterrent.

Suitor will be doing the Lions game tomorrow. He'll be slobbering all about Lulay the entire game. The Bombers are just an afterthought to him.

Wynn should be thrown out.

Well, another 45,000 mothers won't let their sons play football now.

That kind of **** has to be taken out of the game.

Now the Argos are letting the Esks crappy running back to run on them.

Down here in Calgary not a drop of rain. The temp hit 32 today & sun beating down. A cold front went thru 90 minutes ago & the winds have gusted to 80 kph. Temp has dropped 15 degrees to 17. It wouldn't have been much fun on the midway at the Calgary Stampede this evening.
