Adams takes a dive. Which is another problem with this whole thing, need reviews both ways.

500 yards of offense for 18 points....yep Harris fits in Edmonton.

Surprised at how little Thigpen is used. Not primary KR you'd think he'd get a lot more touches in a game where you get down to your 3rd QB since he's a guy who is pretty low risk to get the ball to and capable of big plays. Riders have a few imports who bring nothing to their roster, won't be hard to find a spot for a OL.

Harker likes Superfries.

If you want to feel better about the CFL watch 5 minutes of any NBA game. Players who have a dozen years in the league have no idea what a foul is or isn't.

Run a dive on 3rd and 2...pass on 44 yard FG.

Yeah looked like a fumble. Recovery not really immediate though.

This half looks real bad on Hamilton's coaches. Looking quite disorganized.

Hamilton burns a timeout here to have the ball with 30 seconds deep in their own end.

Not exactly. What if it's career ending? Referees presumably have experience and know the sport. Much like a judge who would differentiate between acts based on intent. They need to be able to make that call, it's not black and white.

They need to penalize the blatant disregard for head contact, the intent to injure. Doesn't have to be based on whether it was successful in injuring the opponent.

Result shouldn't matter. That should be an easy call for the ref as soon as the flag leaves the pocket....no accidental contact there, that was very purposeful.

So why is Lawrence still in the game? What does it take for the refs to grow the balls to call rough play?

You sure do need someone to recover that ball if it is missed and in play.

There was replay by then. Not automatic though. Remember Bombers challenged 3rd and short.

Jason Nugent was the NI safety.

Logan started some games at corner, took over safety after that season.

Nope. Kick chaser.

Bearman never played D and was a great special teamer. He was basically the Mike Miller equivalent on those teams.

He was awful. Didn’t last very long here.

I’m sure a guy who played a decade with the Eskimos is a Bomber mole.

Loffler is a playmaker for sure, grabbed a lot of turnovers. Consistency wasn’t there.

When Thomas comes in we can sub Hecht for an import even without “starting” a Canadian on the DL. I suspect that Hecht will play about half the snaps and most often come out on 2nd and longs, and when we are in 30 fronts with Briggs getting some reps at WIL too.

Hecht is a concern. Biggest flaw in our D last season was Loffler’s lack of range and struggle to pick the right route to get on top of in match coverages. Haven’t seen Hecht play a lot of DB since his early days in Calgary but I definitely feel like he’s a substantial downgrade on an already weak spot. But it’s pretty clear that we’re all in on pass rush and I think that’s a good idea in this era of pass interference pretty much negating any attempt to cover anyway.

A solid centre who has never played centre in a meaningful game. "Solid" might be a little strong.
