I'm not even remotely close to nervous about the BB... I think that game could be 20+ points in the Bomber favour... the LDC that always has me nervous

Throw out the records... I never feel comfortable about labour day... the 7-1 vs 1-7 isn't the game that did it for me, that 7-1 team was clearly a fraud... it's games like last year when the Bombers were probably a "three TD better team" and just barely squeaked out a win in that one... and might not have it not for an incredibly stupid bench penalty by ****** Williams and a dumb late throw that was picked off by Hallett...

true but what you can make from potatoes does mix well with lemonade...

For some fun discussion... https://www.cfl.ca/2023/08/28/mmqb-mid-season-all-star-picks/

The "little" brother is listed at 6'5, 231 lbs... that alone (along with solid college numbers) will keep him in the NFL for a least a few years

https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/leaders... significantly better than cfl.ca Your memory is typically impeccable for these sort of thing so I hesitate to question you... but I believe O'Shea had Stubler tapped to be the DC... then he chose Calgary instead... leading to the hiring of Etchevarry.

I might be tempted to say it’s more the sum of the parts… no guy has really stood out as outstanding… but as a unit, they’ve been very good all year

Wait, does she mean “if the game is close”… I don’t think you have to worry about that 🤣

@DTonOB made a good point in the post-game show about how some QBs would have been mentally ruined after throwing 2 pick-sixes in one half... Zach just brushed it off and kept doing his thing and lit up the second half

1 - Jeffcoat: if he's not the best pure DE in the league... I don't know who is 2 - Brady: Zach started out slow and eventually turned it around... Brady kept the offense going in his absence 3 - Rose: I thought he was really noticeable, in a good way, last night... obviously the pick helped... we haven't heard much from Rose since his return from injury... and that's usually a good thing for a DB HH - Jake Thomas : people are starting to sour on his but he was solid last night and recorded another sack... that said, Lawson was also really good and should probably be getting more snaps.

Yeah but have you heard about Mathieu Betts' first five games this season!!!

More accurately... he ripped off Bighill's helmet... swung it at Bighill's helmet-less head... and somehow was allowed to stay in the game

The confusing part is our defense was the best when we had a heavy DL rotation... 2019 and 2021... 2022 the D started to taper off when we got thin on DL

Edmonton is definitely the first place that came to mind... If they do the smart thing and lose Jones... Goveia would be a smart replacement... maybe he takes Buck as his HC... and Buck takes Brown to be his QB... Don't know anything about the current President Edm has hired... but if they look at our structure and see a strong President/GM/HC relationship... having a GM and HC with a preexisting relationship would be a good start

I was talking about the Riders... officially they have to win 4 games to eliminate Edmonton and 6 games (or 5 if they win the tie-break) to eliminate Calgary... but 3 more wins would probably be enough

funny thing is I actually get more stressed watching games now... because now I expect them to win... when the team was bad (especially the really, really bad years) you'd just hope for the best but expect a loss... It also helps my stress levels when I am watching the game live with 30,000 of my closest friends and family

would they not extend Walters through 2026?... I thought they normally had Walters one year ahead of O'Shea at all times...

I do all the time!... oh wait, you meant "here" as in "on the team"...

the way Calgary is playing... 2 or 3 more wins might be enough to clinch

Disagree… remember late last season in a meaningless game when the team tried to get Mike Miller a goal line TD… I think he got stuffed 3 times the first goal line attempt and then finally got it in two tries in the second time around… there is definitely a skill to it

I actually really like this idea… if the bombers had a dedicated QB development position where I player gets league minimum instead of PR salary… we’d probably still have Prigrome on our team

Also keeping in mind this team was built to go on a run… THIS year…

I love this… I hope everyone discounts the bombers… that’s when they’re at their best… if we have a game to play come awards time, I hope a few players get snubbed too…

I mostly agree with you but you’re missing an extremely important point… bombers didn’t just say “no thanks” to Castillo after the ‘21 season… Edm offered him a boatload of money and it was completely understandable he would take it and we wouldn’t match… that said, a bunch of American kickers in ‘22 camp probably would’ve been a good idea

Keep in mind the plays you’re referencing when the bombers celebrate… interception, first down, touchdown, sack… those are significant plays worth celebrating… what some are saying is it’s lame seeing a celebration after a routine play like a pass break up or 7 yard gain
