It took a long, long time for O'Shea and Walters to field a competitive team but it appears they have finally reached their objective. They now have the personnel and depth to make the playoffs this season in the topsy-turvy CFL and are competitive enough to take a run at the Stamps. Right now they're riding on a magical wave of brotherly love that looks good on O'shea and will probably earn him his next contract. Continuing the winning trend after free agency this off-season will confirm whether they have the right personnel and coaching staff in place to progress in the playoffs or if a major upgrade at QB is necessary for them to become perennial challengers for the GC.

Can't help feeling Benevides is in for a quick one and out as DC to be replaced by Noel Thorpe in the off-season. The Esks are looking more like the team they were 3 years ago than the team they were last year. Grand ole vets. better start playing for their jobs or there will be mucho turn-over of personnel for next year.

Chris Jones type contracts are bad for the CFL, they distort the salary structure and award megalomaniacs with too much power. Hope other teams see this as an epic failure and don't venture down this road. Not that this has anything to do with O'Shea's renegotiation.

I think Wild was missed, he could have helped in shutting down Whittaker. Burnett had 4 tackles, Wild may have had 8-10.

Weird injury, from what I heard he lost a thumbnail but the way they escorted him to the dressing room with one guy supporting his arm it looked like a shoulder or elbow injury.

Flanders looked good from the git go in TC, if it wasn't for Harris this guy would be their starting back.

Smith could be back next week.

I vote for Nichols, he finally did what we were hoping he could and for once the O saved the D's ass.

Right, that might happen if they played for the Als.

Flanders is going to be stoked, I predict he runs wild.

Take her to the game, we need a positive event to nullify last weeks publicity debacle.

That kind of explains what happened to Willy.

Now fielding the finest team that money can buy!

Rod was just too stupid to realize that you don't bite the hand that feeds. The guy is a complete moron.

I've watched every game so far, twice in fact. What I've seen is a Richie Hall pass D with a soft underbelly that allows for a lot of completions and yards gained underneath. The high tackle numbers by various members of the secondary and the LB crew attest to this strategy as they are often making tackles on completions that happen in front of them and are rarely caught in chase mode. Johnson, Fogg and Leggett cover the toughest SB's on each team but they also have to help out with the run game and cut off sweeps, so all 3 have difficult jobs. Johnson has made a number of outstanding plays since he returned from injury and is the main reason for their 7 game winning streak. He should be given a place in the Ring of Honour tomorrow in place of Leo Lewis who doesn't really care anymore . Pfffftttt! to all Johnson haters.

So Johnson has become this year's version of a "whipping boy"? Too bad Macho lost his starters job and this important designation at the same time. Why is it so necessary to single out a player as a problem when he has played no better or worse than any other member of the secondary? Every member of that secondary has been burned on occasion (Adams, Fogg, Frederick, Roberts, Jones) and yet they have still performed remarkably well as a unit despite the continual rotation of players. Heath does not automatically get Johnson's job, he has to prove he is a better player on the field, within this secondary.

Bennett is test case #1.

If I was in her shoes I would lay low for awhile and not be in a rush to attend a second Bomber game anytime soon. The way she is being shredded on social media some Jackass is likely to step forward and ensure that her son's second Bomber game is as traumatic as the first. She's not likely to get the love and support she's hoping to find.

Developing a QB starts in the scouting dept. Mack and his predecessors did not have the knack for identifying QB talent and Walters has yet to prove that he does either.

I think it will be difficult for Walters to maintain the status quo. Players who can play, will want to play and if they're not getting the game time they think they deserve they may choose to move on to a team that gives it to them come FA.

Unfortunately Bomber fans wouldn't have the patience for that experiment to occur. First sign of struggles and the boos would reign down, especially now that Nichols has proven that a QB can be successful with this offence. Best for all that they've moved on.

Damn, I've been looking for somebody to wed called Rich Dowry from the moment I stepped on this earth.

The Bombers can't expose her as a fraud as that has the potential to expose them to further abuse the next time they attend a game as the entire stadium would be angry with them. They have to let this pass.
