Kyrie Wilson just about back to his old self. Good game by him. Holm solid. God awful penalty called on him. Brady is getting good running lanes but he's also getting much better anticipating the holes.

Disagree. We are tied for first in the west. We want to be first, not 2nd. This team will put their starting QB in if it's safe to do so. Every game matters.

Hefney sliding in the best part

In my mind Zach is 75 percent for this Fridays game. Mostly because I think it would take a lot to keep him out.

During their Canadian air force era (getzlaf, bagg et al) they were constantly offside. They still do it a tonne. They would be the last team that should be complaining.

Yep. Sounded like excuses to me. Elks had a miraculous start. Props to them for shooting themselves out of a cannon to begin the game. Part of that is the Bombers making some questionable defensive play calls. But part was the Elks offensive line having a tonne of energy. Fact of the matter is that they couldn't sustain that level. And eventually the Bomber D matched and surpassed their intensity and blew them out of the water. We essentially spotted them 3 easy TDs that game. The rest of the game was controlled by the much better team.

Not sure if this has been talked about... But did anyone else hate the call by Richie Hall to blitz everyone when the Elks were still in their own end? We have all of the momentum. We seemingly have Tre Ford figured out. And then you call something risky like that? Bleh. Got them to 29 points

Can we nickname Dru Brown "The Magician"? The way he misdirects on the handoffs, his ability to escape the pocket and make great throws on the run. It's his stage and I'm here for it.

I have faith that the current contingent of linebackers will keep Tre Ford from making too many big plays.

This is likely as healthy as the team will be all year. Interesting to see who starts and who sits

One year we sat on the west side and it was unbearable how many people complained about play calls and clearly did not know anything. Crotchety old whiners. My friend got hit in the back by an old coot that didn't like us making noise on defense. 207 here.

You win a couple pizza derbys and it goes to your head

Prob. Unless Lawler finally comes back. Please please please

Schoen has that uncanny ability to pull away deep in his route or shield away the DB. Also really good at adjusting. I don't really consider him a jump ball guy. When Lawler comes back he has more of that to his game. But yeah without him I think Agudosi is the only one.

I knew Vaj was streaky. But those 6 interceptions goes beyond skill. I honestly wonder if he's color blind and can't see that baby blue. He was throwing it directly to Argos

If we had Lawler at the end of last year we'd be talking about a 4peet. He's a game breaking receiver

We were spoiled last year in that the team was basically unbeatable. Rourke was the rest of the CFLs only answer. And of course, anything can happen in the Grey Cup. Even with very good teams of the past, they're generally not as good as the Bombers were last year. I welcome this year where we have to fight for the Ws. We will be a bit more hardened come the Grey Cup. This team needs that adversity.

Yeah I had to re-read. We can have up to two global players. That 2nd global is the 45th rostered player. I think if you had a 3rd global they would have to take an Americans position Edit: Rules define a minimum of 21 Canadians. And there's no minimum of American players. So I think you could naturally say that the 3rd global would replace an American

Absolutely Just reminding people who think that globals essentially act like Canadians. They get 2 spots on the roster and we have a global punter this year.

The thing is that with Hansen back they'd be having to take Maruo out of the lineup or else he'd be taking an American spot

Did the refs completely forget the rules there? They changed the yard line to the 15 but if the ball lands in bounds it doesn't matter. Instead they flag it twice and have to retract twice? Lol embarassing

D-Line beasting all game. Fajardo was getting lit up. Love to see it

McRae in Demski's role. BOLO in Agudosi's. That doesn't seem like the end of the world

Excited to see a good football game today. Edmonton vs Ottawa made baby Jesus cry

The most entertaining part of this game has been Milt staring down the camera. Does this feel like a preseason game to anyone else?
