On the one hand I told myself these kind of games are bound to happen. All to often I caught myself cursing at the TV (I'm in Edmonton) and wondering what I'd done to get exiled back to 2013... What a circus show of errors and futility. The exact opposite of the kind of game I was hoping to see, win or lose.

LOL I don't post often but I've been around here long enough to expect this. What? Reasonably suppose that MOS is smart enough to discern between talking to the media or his players? Absurd! TBurg doesn't know if he does, so neither can anyone else. But wait, the season isn't even one regular game old and he hasn't thrown his cap in the dirt or wrung his hands (figuratively speaking) while despairing over his team's shortcomings! What a Suzy Sunshine!

Seriously, what MOS presents to the media and how he addresses the players on the field can't possibly be the same as some are making it seem. The flip side is that bizarre Gary Lawless article warning against MOS going full-Vesuvius on the team.

Jordan Taormina - he of the never effective falling down pass-block move

Video says 5'9" 190 lbs... But the psu site says 5'8" 186 lbs. Either way, a playmaker cb with some wheels. Looking forward to seeing more Danny Mac/Ted Goveia prospects at camp.

I miss the Twin Geralds... Alphin and Wilcox were fun to watch.

His composure and positioning were just so solid compared to Pav's work against Vancouver... It was a great opportunity to watch them back to back this week for sure.

Montoya serves up 30 saves and one goal allowed as the Habs get dumped twice in one weekend!

^ what he said! He's been coaching pretty much constantly since he retired from the CFL and has been successful in building/rebuilding defenses.

After an amazing catch by Edwards Hall fumbles a horrid snap. Only this Bombers clown show could convert 5 Alouette turnovers into a 3 point lead...

I dunno, Casey Bramlet brutally crapped the bed once upon a time...

LOL fair point regarding Buck. I agree that was a terrible decision to anoint him the starter for this season. Goltz had been in the system for three years, so why not give him a shot given the physical tools he has (how do you know if he will pan out? You won't know until you know, for better or for worse) too bad it all turned to shite. Bomber coaching and o-line deficiencies don't help either. I'll admit as a fan I never looked too deeply into Hall's history - but unless he magically transforms into a winner I wouldn't "settle" for him either. That said Hervey rolled the dice with Reilly, who until this year had played less than a handful of games, and won. Guess that makes him a genius rather than lucky, never mind his team's crappy record and lunatic head coach.

Pffft yeah Hervey is a "good" GM because he took a gamble on a QB who hadn't proved anything at the time. Reilly has turned out to be a good one, no denying that - but you are close to sounding like you have a crystal ball as to who will be an all-star and who will be a bum.

Not bad considering he started at guard, then moved to RT with Jake Thomas standing next to him...

Certainly wasn't impressed with Goltz today. Hall moved the ball a bit but took a beating thanks to Shannon Boatman the blue and gold turnstile. I saw Boatman literally standing around while Esk defenders blew right past him. Give Boatman his walking papers. I'd rather see Jake Thomas as RT the rest of the season then put up with no.60

Was Goltz shooting the lights out? No of course not, but the "take away this pass and that play" crowd need to get a life. Tanner Marsh throws a gazillion INT's but is a hero because he tosses up a prayer and it's answered. Our qb runs for two td's (one INT, yeah yeah crappy pass yardage) wins ugly and factions of the Bomber fan base still lay a steaming pile of sh!t at his doorstep. Can we not all just pile on Rider Nation in unison for one damned night LOL

Loved Buck back when he still had the ability to break plays wide open with his legs. A stand up guy but his days on the field for Winnipeg were long over last year. Good luck to him - at the same time this move is a stroke of genius by Walters.

While Suber may have been labelled a bum for most of this season, he played way more like his 2011 self today. If he keeps it up for the rest of the season all may not be lost for him. Cauchy on the other hand...

Inaugural win at IGF in Royal Blues... love it. Since the navy uniforms with the lightning bolt ball showed up I've wished for the royal blue and the old W. Only Charles Roberts, Milt Stegall, Khari Jones and a select few others have given the lightning bolt any positive association for me. For the sake of the fans - yes Royal Blues please!

Was great to see the blitz actually make it to Durant in time to make a difference. This is also the first time in I can't remember how long where I actually had some faith that not every opponent's pass would be completed while the secondary was standing around enjoying a cigarette. Durant for a hundred or so yards passing... love everything about that! I can't wait to get to work tomorrow and hear the boss (Bomber fan) glory in his wife's misery (Riders fan) LOL
