Much as I am a fan of #33, apart from the ratio thingie, I do not see us losing much at all, and to speak heresy, we may be even a tad better at the RB position.

Andrew Harris described as doubtful for Saturday's game.

That, and I do not think that many will equate Nichols with Mitchell behind center. I don't think we have seen the best of Nichols, but he still has to make his bones.

The two who stand out are the QB and receiver. Outlaw ought to be in the NFL- fluid runner, size and very confident hands- there's gotta be a fly in the ointment somewhere. MBT has the NFL size with quick decisions and very good control on his passes- seems to take a hellacious hit well, too. Likely a project QB, though.

Disagree- we were getting too many frivolous challenges. The rule is good the way it is now.

Chapdelaine is pretty smart with good experience but he is probably just a placeholder. Paging Mr. Trestman...

A team collapse with a series of blowout losses like we had the past two years. I don't see it happening, but weird things do happen.

Actually, only the Lions have Gore every game.

Before BC snagged Sinkfield, I would have thought the Lions and Bombers were almost evenly matched with an edge to the Blue, but now.....

This was unforgivable. Commit seppuku immediately to atone.

As an addendum: I would bet that its only 50-50 if Popp is still a GM by the end of next season.

But the Riders will still have to declare the money they spent on the taxi squad, so when you add all the costs together, that has to exceed $100,000 by a good bit.

If you concede the game against the Stamps, the fight for second place will likely come down to the Bomber-Lions game, so that leaves the Esks probably crossing over to the woeful East Division and may get an almost free ride into the Grey Cup. I like the Bomber chances against the Beastly Lions.

The key has to be Messam. If the Bombers take him away, it will come down to Mitchell's arm vs the Bomber secondary with the wild card of Mitchell's scrambling thrown in. We just cannot allow the Stamps to get a sizeable lead.

Can't disagree with you there. That was such a no-brainer phony challenge that only Stevie Wonder would have considered throwing that flag. Maas has to be under some pressure, so his fuse is probably getting a bit short.

Now those two big-ticket items are off the books, but before? Can you honestly tell me that all those taxi-squad players the Riders have been hiding, feeding, housing and paying are not going to count against the cap?

At this moment, I would take the Bombers over the Lions on the basis of the Bomber defence.

Esks had terrible field position pretty much the whole game, but from my point of view, Reilly's passing was off all game. I wonder if the beating he has been taking behind that poor 0-line is taking its toll on him.

Our defence measures up well except that I still see a vulnerability against the run and in Hall's soft pass-prevent schemes. Our offence will have to get untracked early as Calgary's defence is good enough to stop late-game rallies as the Bombers have managed to pull off lately. We have to stay close.

Welcome aboard this group of long-suffering optimists. Don't take us too seriously.

Yes, but they really looked terrible in the first half, and a good deal of the third quarter.

Neither team looked good enough to scare anyone in the playoffs. Not a good game for Reilly.

Roughies win, but I would be just as happy to see them lose once again.

Maybe we could trade Kolhert for Demski?

Hard to tell, but the final responsibility comes to rest on the head coach. I would love to know the reasons for the dink and dunk offense- is it because we have had such a revolving door at receiver, lack of trust in Nichols or what.
