Atomic

Gameday! Get ready for action! I still get more excited about this game than almost any other one on the schedule, even though we get our asses kicked pretty much every year. The prospect of going into Regina and beating them on Labour Day just makes it feel like Christmas morning. The Bombers have had 7 starting quarterbacks for the LDC in the last decade, including Chris Streveler today. Let's see what the kid can do.

His 100 catch, 1600 yard season in 2017 might have something to do with it

Zylstra would be such a huge pickup for us

I won't be surprised if Demski gets 5-10 carries tomorrow. Should be an interesting game on offence.

Actually crazy that we had Couture for three years and he barely saw the field but now Speller, Desjarlais, Gray, and Eli are all playing as essentially rookies. The strength and stability of the OL really transformed this team during 2016-2018 and the young guys now are carrying the torch.

Roster sizes are so small... there is no feeder system like the Jets have with the AHL or like MLB with their three tiers of minor leagues. It is so damn hard for a player who is not a veteran or draft pick to make an NFL squad. Which is actually a good thing for the CFL... but it's rough for quality players like Singleton who deserve a shot.

Who let this Rider filth in?

We were 7-1 and the Riders were 1-7 and then they beat us back to back. It was bad karma to put up this billboard:

Can the 4th overall pick really be a diamond in the rough?

We must not sit Greg Jones, he is our best player

I would bring Santiago onto the roster and give them both snaps

Oops we put dbol in the protein powder again

Brandon Banks

Probably. But I wouldn't give up any more than that to get him.

I would be interested in moving a 4th or 5th round pick for James Franklin if he is available. I don't like any of the experienced options out there right now.

Great finish to the game and the CFL week!

No catch, no catch, no catch

Revisionist history. Fajardo was so bad coming in game 1 in relief of Collaros that fans and media were speculating about Isaac Harker starting game 2.

This team is good enough all around to still win with an average QB. As long as Streveler and/or McGuire can play up to that level, I'm not worried at all. And after seeing guys like Arbuckle and Fajardo succeeding I can't see any reason why our guys can't do the same.

If Nichols is out long term I would expect them to bring in a third QB but more likely a prospect than a veteran. Around this time of year there is always a pool of QBs out there who have been waiting for an NFL shot and are starting to realize that it's not going to come.

It is very much a different crowd than it was in the Canad Inns days.

Shoulder injury on throwing arm is never good news... it's not a normal rehab, as a quarterback you can't go back in at 75%... gotta be 100%.

Watch them start McGuire and have Streveler continue with the short yardage stuff.

Yeah, looked like it. That is a tough position to be in with his throwing arm facing the LOS so the defender had an easy time swatting at the ball.

Nichols dropped back 7 times and ran it once for a one yard touchdown over that stretch of the game. He was 4/4 for 55 yards but got sacked three times, the last one being the fumble and the end of his night.
