One or two plays do not change things.

Problems are on the sidelines.

Bomber defensive backs being eviscerated.

Bighill AWOL again

He hasn't already???

Some are pretty good, but super....I dunno.

From my point of view, one of the biggest pluses about two point conversions is that they demonstrate the confidence of their coaches in their offences. But its all about context.

Not really. There is a wealth of evidence that changes are needed, but.....

They all say that before the Lithium kicks in.

Its probably going to come down to who makes the best half-time adjustments, but the Als gotta put some pressure on Harris. He has enough time back there to look like an all-star.

I know this is not the main event, but its a pretty entertaining game.

Bray just didn't get up to speed there or he was way gone.

This is the best Harris has looked all season. Hope I can say that again in three hours.

If the Bombers lose badly, its time to flush the bowl. If the Bombers lose in a close game, it ought to be much the same. A win means that the jury is still out.

I'm OK with this because it means he will be two time zones away from calling the Bomber-Stamps game. A small mercy but appreciated.

Also, on the TSN pre-playoff report, it was reported that Streveler not only has a cracked bone in his ankle but torn ligaments as well. Should be about as mobile as the Golden Boy on the legislature dome.

That is out of our hands and in those of the Bomber coaches. One win in the playoffs is not enough anymore.

It has to be difficult to get the Esks cranked up for this game. They have been circling the drain for the past three months and their coach is probably a dead man walking.

Gray's status is a complete puzzlement to me. Still, the coaches have to be aware that they are getting close to the end of their leashes and have to be aware that these sort of decisions may decide their futures. As usual, we shall see.

For all the bravado, many here are afraid to hope that our hearts will not be broken again. In times past, when the team was crap and we all knew it, there was a sort of quiet resignation because we knew what would happen. This year, many of us dared to hope, and then the footyball gods scowled on us. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Welcome to our occasionally fractious journey. To paraphrase Charlie Brown:" We need all the friends we can get."

Almost as bad as Ella Fitzgerald marrying Darth Vader.

Way back, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, my late wife and I were season ticket holders (east side) and when the cold weather hit, we concocted something we called Bomber Coffee- coffee and dark rum in a thermos. Late in the game, we would crack it open and forestall frostbite (at least we thought it did). Funny enough, we never had the contents of the thermos checked.

The cold and snow have to favour the Bombers but will probably make for a sloppy, error-filled game. A Big Blue win will make it all worthwhile.

Ah, the good old days...*sniff*. Enough to make a grown man cry. In a manly way, of course.
