Sort of. Needed one more first down on last Bomber drive to end the game, didn't even need a TD or FG, just one more first down to run the clock out. TD would have ended it too. Couldn't do it. D won the game. D made it a game, special teams on the whole won field position battle, O only scored on short fields short of one drive early in 3rd.

D needs to rush 3-4 almost every down. Force Masoli to be accurate, don't let him simply chuck it around.

I think he needs to decide if he wants to be a powerlifter/bodybuilder or a football player.

He's a typical one-move pass rusher. I would not want him on the field as much as Edmonton has to have him out there to satisfy the ratio. He's a liability vs the run and invisible on the majority of his snaps. 3 of 5 sacks tagging a QB who's basically on the turf doesn't really make a guy an all-star, except on TSN. He's getting the numbers from the work of Ceresna and Sewell.

Also interesting that Willis is lone Lion, two edge rushers from Sask, nothing interior. Hamilton two DT's, no edge rushers. Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg pretty balanced, although most of Edmonton's pressures came in last two games.

At this point does anyone understand what the hell Jones is doing? Even if a 44 year old Terrell Owens could play a little bit he can’t play well enough to be worth the distraction he will cause. Why even waste time on this?

BC getting their asses kicked and celebrating every sort of play they make. Look like a loser franchise.

Point Douglas is even more inaccessible than the U of M campus. That would have been the absolute worst location. I can still remember Asper's pitch about having people park downtown and jump on a barge down the river to get to the game.

One easy step Montreal can take this week...get a legit freaking kicker. They are using an import spot anyway, get a guy who can actually get a punt off.

Manziel looks horrid in the pocket. I don't think he's completed a pass beyond a quick first read.

Ya right.

I'd rather have 2 QB's that can win games.

That's scary too. Head coach has as much CFL experience as Manziel, and was coaching in startup pro league in the States in spring instead of working on learning the CFL game.

Shiltz is injured. Willy is injured. Adams would be the option. The 3rd QB tonight is also off the street in the last week.

Throwing moving backwards ain't gonna work here.

Drug Flutie, since all they've done is compare him to Flutie. A little derogatory though.

Sherman for sure. I mean the Manziel trade was so stupid in terms of what they gave up. Personally I'd end that experiment tonight too and have him at #3 or #4 on the depth chart but they probably can't. Montreal is just such a mess.

Can't believe they let Bede punt still. So slow to get the ball away just a big play for the opponent waiting to happen.

The location within the city is less of an issue to me than the fact it’s on a relatively isolated university campus with limited access to only one thoroughfare. If it were on the other side of Pembina toward Kenaston or somewhere like that in the south end with access in all directions it would be fine. If they could build even a pedestrian bridge to St. Vital to lessen traffic on Pembina and open up more options that would make a big difference. But the politics of pretending to be cheap and making the U of M stakeholders ruled the day. And it really screwed over the Bombers. Not having transit ready to go, forcing the Bombers to pay for it. Cripes.

Real bad peel back block on Sewell that let Thigpen get the edge on the Rider TD. Put any notion of conspiracy to rest.

Thought this was a live mic game, can't hear anything.

I'd rather finish 4th in the West than 3rd, that's for sure.

Montreal signed Austin Apodaca today.

I don't believe the point is even arguable. If you park on campus it takes forever to get off. The other option is parking kilometers away. If you take the bus it takes a long time to both get onto a bus and then get off the campus. I've never been to a game where the time from leaving my seat to getting my vehicle onto the Perimeter took less than a hour that's from 2015 on. Prior to that we still lived in the city and used the park and ride, not much of a difference there, get home between 11:30-midnight. I think most casual fans would view the games as an event to go to 1 or 2 times a year given the time commitment now. They've also lost a ton of season ticket holders between 2013 and now, some for on-field reasons who haven't come back, some for off-field (what we're talking about here and negative experiences with the past leadership). I doubt the days of packing 29,000-30,000 in routinely when the team was competitive, picking up the casual fans, will ever happen at IGF. IMO the teams the last 3 seasons have been the best we've had this side of 2001 in this millennium and there's certainly lots of hype, but 27,000 is seen as a good crowd. I never lived anywhere near the old stadium but going by either car or bus we'd be at our watering hole in our younger days at the complete opposite end of the city within an hour after 0:00 no problem. They are also competing with HD TV both at home and local bars.

Send Franklin back to Edmonton for Kevin Glenn. That's the only QB remotely available who I could see succeeding for Trestman.
