They are pretty competent at running and passing as are the Bombers. A key for me is how well our D-line performs. Can they get pressure on Harris? Does our 3-man front offer any resistence to their run game? (Gotta admit I'm worried about this.) On the other hand, the sell-out crowd will be our 13th man. (This I have confidence in.) Go Bombers Go!

Man, I hope you're right about this! A little more motion, misdirection on O, a blitz or two on D, less Thomas and Schmekel on at the same time, and, perhaps some trickery on special teams.

What don't you understand about what I wrote? "I'd say that the two QBs are pretty similar." And yes, Ws are a "team" statistic. Having said that, is a QB going to get that 70+% completion rate without receivers, an O-line and blocking back? You are the most....obtuse poster on this forum. IMO.

Since August 1 (objectively, I believe, when the Bombers' season turned around), I'd say that the two QBs are pretty similar. Collaros: 204/283=72.1%, Harris: 190/262=72.5% Collaros: 2613/204=12.8yd/completion, Harris: 2392/190=12.5yd/completion Collaros: 1TD for every 20.21 passes attempted, Harris: 1TD for every 20.15 passes attempted Collaros: 1INT for every 40.43 passes attempted, Harris: 1INT for every 43.67 passes attempted I have no idea how to calculate QB efficiency. And, Collaros: 9W - 1L, Harris: 4W - 4L (only played in 8 of 11 SK games since Aug. 1) I know who I want as my QB on Saturday.

Can you break out the QB data for both from Aug. 1 until season's end? I think that you would know why.

Good one. Yes, Buck will have to "buck" that trend, too. I hope that Younger was paying attention to yesterday's game. I saw a lot of ineffective 3-man "rushes" by the Lions. Let's hope that he can come up with a better plan to semi-neutralize Harris.

Amd what a stupid play call by Ottawa!

Speaking of not a good look for Ottawa, are there any uglier, cheaper-looking unis than their's?

I agree about play calling and game plan especially on the O-side of the ball. A thought....Buck used to call the game from "upstairs". I think that he started the season that way but for some reason decided to be on the sidelines. (Gosh, I hope that he has minions upstairs assisting.) Anyway, most, if not all, of the other teams O-coordinators are still upstairs where they can, IMO, get a better feel for what's unfolding on the field. Comments anyone?

Getting back to the game this past Saturday. That was more than a butt-clencher. In fact, I had given up hope. I'm glad the Bombers won but even as a non-football guy, I have to seriously question some of the coaching decisions. The one that was the biggest head-scratcher for me was playing Schmekel and Thomas at the same time. I didn't count the number of times that they had them out there together but the two times that I noticed, they were totally "swatted away" by Montreal's O-line resulting in big plays for the Alouettes. I'm hoping that when watching the video, the coaches will come to their senses and have a Eureka moment....."Maybe we shouldn't have these guys out there together."

I had little faith and wrote them off. What a bizarre finish. Go Bombers Go!

We're done today. Hopefully, Stamps come to play tonight.

No effing pressure

Is it my imagination or are they picking on 24?

It appears that when those two guys are on together bad things happen.
