From who? The bomber were always going Cdn in the interior and he wasn't beating out Bryant or Hardrick...

Sounds like the Riders are getting Leonard, Robertson, and Marino all back this week... hate on the Riders all you want... but having those two DEs back will definitely help them against BC... Marino is still **** though...

so we're now at the point in the bye week where people are arguing about who had the worst hot take from 3 years ago... Let's bring up that "Bomber need to fire Mike O'Shea" thread and analyze the **** out of that one too

Some people are waaaay over-analyzing how this game ended... the Bombers did everything right and Liegghio just missed the kick... that's all... hopefully he gets another shot at a game winning kick in the regular season... that way, either he redeems himself or we know we need kicking insurance for the playoffs.

not necessarily... If BC is within one game of the Bombers... BC wins both games and clinch first... Bombers win one and clinch

I was kinda of thinking about this recently... lets say three things happened differently so far this year... 1) Bede makes the extra point and Tor goes on to win... 2) Jordan makes the TD catch and Cgy goes on to win... 3) Liegghio makes the final second kick to beat the Als last week... The team goes into the bye winning a back-to-back and 8-2 (still first based on points)... is there any panic in that scenario?... not necessarily suggesting there is panic now... but it feels like everyone would probably be happier going into the bye on a winning note

I'm impressed Walby managed to spell MARC LIEGGHIO's first AND last name wrong in the same tweet...

Let me guess… you picked the Bombers to win last night?? I think you know what you need to do going forward 😂

O’Shea mentioned the placement of the ball on the post game show… said it’s the right call if the ball is placed right on the one… it wasn’t, so he was basically saying it was a bad call without explicitly saying that… also on the post game… @DTonOB asked Mike Miller about the schedule, if they are tired, etc… Miller immediately shut that down and said there are no excuses for their play… not surprised our players would respond like that

Is Evans hurt or is this performance related?

I can’t recall there ever being hardships in the history of bomber fandom… 🤪

Offense: Collaros defense: Bighill canadian: Woli (Fatboi Jake in close second) rookie: Schoen o-line: Big Stan teams: Liegghio

True… productive doesn’t necessarily mean every down player… hopefully Jake has a few more good years in him and allows Lawson (and the next new rookie) to carry the torch once he’s gone

Realistically, he probably already is a bit of an assistant GM… Walters calls the shots on player personnel but we all know there are certain types of players O’Shea likes/wants… also… lol at anyone who thinks O’Shea could be on the nfl radar… just not happening… nfl is looking for the next brilliant OC/QB whisperer for HC jobs… not a guy who had success in (what they consider) a second class league… this isn’t the same era that Bud Grant coached in.

My favourite part was when he signed late in the off-season… in his initial conversation with reporters he said he was exhausting all his nfl opportunities before coming back to the bombers… he seems like a guy that everyone loves… afaic as long as he’s a productive player… he’ll have a place on our team

I think he only signed a one year deal

Their offense will be 100% reliant on Davis scrambling…

Sorry, little late catching up on this thread… this idea that crossing over and going through the east is somehow “easier” comes about this time every year… reminder that no cross over team has ever made the grey cup… and there have been some good west teams taking on what seemed like a bad east division… ironically, the riders are the closest team to ever pull it off… in 2017, they were a Ricky Ray drive away from winning the east final. What annoys me about this is, why the rhetoric?? Yes, two grey cup wins in a ten year stretch is a good run… but a “new era of dominance”???… reminder to riders fans that BC, Calgary and Montreal also won 2 cups in that time frame… so I wouldn’t exactly consider it “dominance” if nearly half the league accomplished the exact same feat

I’ve been wondering… where have all the good people gone??

Good… I hope everyone is talking about how great BC is… I hope they are ranked #1 in the power rankings… meanwhile the back-to-back champs will just keep piling up wins and somehow remain under the radar… works for me The more time goes on… the more I see the similarities between Chris Jones and Mike Kelly… enjoy the next 4 years Edmonton…

Something I was thinking when watching the game… does Woli drop anything? Like ever?… the guy has some of the best hands in the league… put it near him and he’ll catch it… just need to start giving him the ball more often… not to mention everything he does in the run and blocking game… just an absolute under-the-radar stud

Just wanted to quickly point out the team crossing over needs to outright beat the team on the other side… so in the extremely unlikely scenario in which the bombers end up with the same record as the third place team in the east… They would not crossover… I would agree with @17to85 and @TrueBlue4ever that the bombers have essentially already booked a playoff spot.

I don’t expect him back anytime soon… I heard somewhere (can’t remember where now) that even if he doesn’t make the pats, he’s likely to bounce around the nfl a bit… generally teams will agree that if Bill Belichick saw something (anything) in him… he’s good enough for a look.

The only reason for Ellingson to play right now is for his own personal stats… and I think we all know he didn’t sign here to boost his personal accomplishments

On the PR he’s also an injury (or maybe 2 or 3) away from getting a real shot at playing in the nfl… I wouldn’t blame him for a second if he has a chance and takes it… I just hope if that doesn’t work out, he comes back to where it started
