yes... usually the offense (Lapo) would be going against the defense (Bene)...

I know Edmonton is flying right now... but we've played them really well both games this year... we broke their 7 game streak earlier this year... so maybe we'll have a chance to break their 5 game streak next week!

With Harris locking up the rushing title, I think he has a good shot at winning MOC... Singleton should be a lock for MODP... both guys get an award!

Were you the guy with the "#54 okpo for mvp" sign?... also wearing a bombere hockey jersey...

Well done @do or die... nice to have you back...

Unless I missed something I'm pretty sure Hardrick played all game yesterday... and played well...

But how about when they were together on the 1997 riders... you know, the thing we were talking about...

Have you been watching the same Chris Randle as me?... if anything, I'd argue his play has improved this year...

I don't advocate for Hall and his defenses... but your level of rhetoric has gone beyond ridiculous... I'm fairly sure a team that has posted consecutive 11 wins seasons doesn't employ the worst Defense in CFL history...

You're right... and unfortunately it's mostly injury related...

That's not possible... it has to be east vs west... unless you're just talking about the west nominee.... Also agree about ST... Medlock has not been very good this year... that was a "name-recognition" vote... Mike Miller would get my vote for sure....

Good point... I was thinking more from a talent/experienced back-up perspective... if he is getting on people the second Nichols makes a bad throw, he'd had no place in the Bombers locker room....

I'm not old enough to remember the glory days you speak of but I have very fond memories of the groups of Stegall, Simon, Bobby Gordon, ABIII of the early 00s.... then a few years later with Milt, Edwards and Armstrong... those were some amazing groups....

I don't think enough people appreciate how valuable Flanders is in this offense... everyone keeps mentioning losing Adams (which is obviously huge too)... but I think our offense runs best around Adams, Flanders and Harris, with Dressler as the 4th option...

I would be fully on board with Jim Barker as Kyle Walters' right hand man... we know that would only happen with the agreement that Walters "call the shots" with Barker and O'Shea having input... if it wouldn't work this way, it would never happen...

I think Edm is currently on a 4-game win streak... I think being around the noise of the arena would be a better indicator of how is head is doing...

That game wasn't even fair.... though in hindsight, I am fairly impressed that a team coached by Jim Daley and QB'd by Reggie Slack even made it to the Grey Cup

So, not that I really want to get in on this pissing match... but I am very curious to know what your definition of "shitkicking" or "rout" is... if Medlock makes the last kick... these stats are still exactly the same... so is it still possible to get shitkicked and win?...

I'd be on board with this... at the right price...

Good point... the esks surely have no issues losing to sask...

I agree with you that the trolls are always buzzing after a loss... but my concern with the tram right now is this isn't just one loss and one bad game... it's now 4 consecutive terrible games by this team producing a 1-3 record... last good game the bombers played was in Edmonton... we're currently stumbling into the playoffs and that shouls be concerning to everyone... I appreciate that injuries play a major factor... but of we can't survive a few injuries and keep playing at a high level... it shows we're severely lacking depth... but as mentioned earlier I don't believe Walters and Osh should be fired... or even feeling heat...

Yesterday's game might be one of the most disappointing games the bombers have played since 2015... the offense has been putrid ever since Flanders and Adams went down which proves we significantly lack depth on O... the defense is provong ir cannot get stops when it matters... that being said I don't believe we see a mass firing, no matter how the season ends... I would like to see new coordinators on both sides and some new scouts to help with our lack of depth at receiver and linebacker (imo our two biggest areas of weakness)...

sure, in the literal sense of the term... it is not absolutely "must win" or we're eliminated type of situation... but for morale and momentum, showing up and putting up a big win tomorrow would be massive to get this team on track for the playoffs...

I'd help but I haven't been very good at predicting who will score a TD recently!

I hate the riders as much as the next guy... but @mfranc is right.. the expectation for them was to fight to stay out of the basement this year... they've not only secured a playoff spot, but still have a chance for 3rd in the west and will likely get to double digit wins tonight... in our second year of a massive rebuild we were 5-13...
