Silver lining… people are starting to doubt the bombers now… good, I hope there’s a a lot of media saying “the bombers aren’t as good as we thought”… I want that to get our guys fired up…

If you saw him going at it with Mtl #1 at near the end of that last game... he definitely hasn't lost his edge... maybe lost a step or two, which tends to happen as you get on the wrong side of 30...

By default, I guess... they are 9-4, which by all accounts, makes it a good season... and no one really stands out as "the guy"... As much as I love Miller and think he's deserving... a good and consistent returner will always win the MOSTP award...

When I started going to games regularly in my teens... I loved the wave... I'm ok with it happening, I just don't like it...

home field advantage against these Latin American countries!... yes I know, Mexico is NA... but Canada also recently played Costa Rica in Edmonton (or Toronto?)...

I hate it... but I agree with you that people obviously do like it... I guess I'm just an old curmudgeon now who likes to watch the game without people waving in my face... I also yell at the clouds after the wave is done...

I don't mind them... however, I don't have someone blowing one right behind me... I could see that being annoying...

I love how people always say "become a dad for the second time"... he was already a dad, you can only become a parent one time... he is just a dad of two children now... Anyways, I am really hoping/expecting that Zach will suit up for at least the first half of this week's game... as much as I want him bubble wrapped after McGuire's performance last week... I also don't want him going a full month without any live game action...

that was a huge positive from Saturday... he's been fairly quiet this year but he looked great getting a feature role... in 2022 maybe Thomas retires and Jeffcoat gets a big payday from the "no-cap" Argos... I think we'd be comfortable maintaining the ratio on the DL and starting Kongbo opposite Jefferson...

so you're saying they should've got jabbed to avoid getting jobbed...

I’m not trying to say McGuire is garbage and we need to get rid of him… I was just hoping to see something, anything from him yesterday… did you watch McGuire yesterday and think “yep that’s a future starter!”… the o line he played behind yesterday is probably still better than half the other teams regulars… again I’m not ready to give up but he’s got A LOT of work to go… what I really hope is he gets in the second half against Calgary and does some damage…

1 - Collaros 2 - Collaros 3 - Collaros unfortunately this game confirmed what some have thought… this team (specifically the offense) is average, at best, without Collaros… I’ll concede a few things in McGuire’s defence: the weather was terrible, the o line was a little patched up, the mtl D is legitimately pretty good, it’s his first start… and I wasn’t expecting 80% completion with 300 yards and 4 TDs… but that performance was absolutely putrid… that’s was an Alex Brink level QB performance… his accuracy was abysmal, his reads were terrible, he had zero control of the game… even Caleb Evans looked competent in his first start… HH to Shaq cooper… with all that McGuire “accomplished” he may not have been the worst player for the bombers today… i don’t normally jump to quick conclusions on players but I’d be perfectly fine if Cooper was released immediately… absolutely pathetic performance for a guy who is supposed to be a cfl veteran… anyone still think Nelson is the worst returner on the team??

Disagree… I want all the starters to play, at least some, in the final game… I don’t want important players like Collaros, Jeffcoat, and Bryant going a full month without playing a game…

Interesting that receiver was 100% down… and they let him carry on for an extra 25 yards… and the broadcasters just pretended like he wasn’t down… am I missing something?

I’d have to listen to the interview again but I don’t think he said he wasn’t having fun

Couple a hosers... those two... In fairness, Bob has a little more clout than Eddie Steele... though I believe Eddie should've never been fired for those comments...

Actually, he didn't... he was iffy on it and conceded that "the DB in me doesn't like the call"... He didn't call it absolute garbage... but that's because it wasn't a Rider DB...

I finally had a chance to re-watch a few plays that I wanted to get a better look at and have some thoughts on it... 1. the OPI call in the first quarter... I thought the original call was soft... looked like Rose just fell and he initiated contact after 5 yards... not totally surprised it was over turned... 2. the PI against Nick Taylor with about 5 mins left in the fourth... I thought it was absolute garbage call from the upper deck... I and confirmed it was a garbage call after watching a replay... surprised we didn't challenge as I believe that would've created a third down... in super slo-mo Taylor has his hand on the receiver a split second early... not sure what the ref was seeing on that one... 3. The procedure penalty that took 3 points off the board... I watched it a few times and didn't see anyone twitch... but there were about 12 flags on the field... so I guess Eli must've done something obvious...

If enough of us react "disagree" does that mean it won't happen?

just that he spelled it wrong... really not my finest material... I'll show myself out with the cone of shame...

a lot of people missing the cheque vs check joke 😁 I guess it wasn't my finest material...

Andrew Harris headbutted Simoni Lawrence in the 2019 GC and it wasn't called... so we'll call it even! Side note... that was the last time Lawrence did anything of significance in that game...

based on this list it's pretty obviously Collaros vs Stanback... with Collaros winning it in a landslide... don't see there being anyone else in contention... Cheque*

Not trying to opine on Augustine vs Oliveira… but based solely on last night… Johnny was the better back… could be different next week… but last night Johnny was clearly the better of the two…

To be fair… Al Bradbury is from Winnipeg 🙃 as an observer at the game here’s how I saw it… Als came out and played a really good game… moved the ball fairly well… got most of the stops when they needed it… but when it came down to crunch time… one team proved it was a contender and the other a pretender… They keep saying it’ll take a perfect game to beat the Bombers… Als nearly did that… and still lost by 10 (could’ve been 13 if not for a procedure call)… I’m not going panic yet…
