1. Harris 2. The Jeffs - absolutely dominated the tackles for Hamilton 3. Mike Jones - huge hits and key play to break up that deep pass HH - Hansen for blowing up the blocker and returner on that kick return Bonus stars - O-line ripped some huge holes for Harris and kept the QBs upright

Last drought ended beating Hamilton in Alberta. Let's do it again!

Clearly doesn't matter what jersey they wear... for them to win I'm the one that needs to wear the right combination of Bomber sweaters during the week and on game day. It's worked so far this playoff run.

Looks like Hamilton practiced indoors today, while the Bombers held theirs outside. Is it even that cold in Calgary today?

Didn't have a lot of hope going into the game in 2007, but I was there in person and we were in it just enough to get my hopes up. Depressing as hell flight home.

Wins - 2001 East Final at home was great. 2011 East Final that was supposed to be the last game at the old barn was a great feeling too. Losses - 2001 Grey Cup broke me. 2007 GC broke me again. 2011 GC numb to the pain didn't even feel that one.

Disagree. The way Grant was brought down was the exact situation the rule is meant to address. Shouldn't matter that the defender got his hand over the shoulder to the front if all of the force is pulling the player directly down. Immediately thought that Grant may have blown his knee out. Not sure I've seen it called more liberally now. Seems to only be called if the player is brought down by the collar (even when pulled forward, which shouldn't be a horse collar at all). Granted I don't watch every game, so could definitely have missed some other calls.

That rule needs to be amended. It's the act of grabbing up high and pulling straight down that is a danger to players. Shouldn't matter exactly where you grab.

Fenner is on the 1-game, Rios back to the PR. So, looks like Rios benched, Fenner hurt.

That would be the best plan. Get everyone some reps before playoffs.

Re: Lucky. I read that when Adams was sitting out this week, Lucky moved to his spot and Bailey played Lucky's. With Adams suiting up, that could mean Lucky sits this week.

Love Alexander at safety. Will be nice to have someone that can cover play safety.

Great analogy. It's just awful to watch.

Miles did a pretty good job after Rempel went out. Not sure if there's another in game backup though

I noticed that too. Thought it was odd for sure.

Very disappointing. Hopefully this means another receiver is on the way because it's not like the guys on the PR have shown much.

Two hands on the ball, receiver needs to catch that. Lots of guys catch balls and get hit every damn game.

18/22 for 177, would have been 20/22 with 220 and TD pretty easily if Woli and Matthews catch those balls. Agree totally that Nichols needs to throw to his receivers more vs just dump offs to Harris. Lapo doing him no favours calling for run on just about every first down, leaving second in obvious passing situations every time.

Grant - obviously Harris - tough 100 yard game Sayles - INT, sack, couple of BS penalty calls HH - Hallet with the fumble recovery, maybe could have scooped and scored but focused on just getting the ball.

That complaint out of the way. Good to get the win. Grant looks like a keeper. D-line had good pressure and caused a couple turnovers.

Awful offensive play calling. Draw on the QB draw on the goal line with Nichols in? Sure, it's not expected but not likely to succeed either. Wildcat with Harris? He's obviously getting the ball and running. Two games in a row that he's tried that with a fumble and a procedure as a result. Where were the screens? Nice to see a couple deep shots, if only Matthews and Woli caught them. Agree totally with Suitor (ugh), Nichols is playing not to throw picks. Needs to get back to earlier in the season when he was attempting more than 2 passes down field a game.

Excited to see Grant on the returns. With 8 return TDs in college, his highlight video is something else.

I wouldn't be upset if they scratched Walker and let Whitehead and Demski handle the returns. Peterman could probably return punts too. Get Matthews into some offensive plays, work him back into the lineup.

He really hasn't pulled a Bowman though. Bowman was healthy and did nothing. Matthews just hasn't been able to get healthy yet. Having a big receiver like him will come in handy when the weather gets colder.
