Can anyone give me some history on why we have two separate forums for discussing the bombers? This forum has some very knowledgeable and intelligent posters as well as forums.bluebombers.com. I think it would be nice to have everyone in the same forum similar to riderfans.com which gets a lot of discussion and action because it appears to be the single location to go to for rider/cfl news. Is there some kind of history that is preventing the two communities from joining together and allowing for a broader spectrum of discussion? I've been kind of following both forums for some time and just never understood why there are two separate communities. I do understand that some posters post in both; but I think we would see improved dialogue if the communities were not siloed.

If the prices go down enough I might drive out to Calgary to catch the game. They'd have to come down enough to endure the weather and the shitty stadium though

Disappointed that we are not wearing the royals; I don't understand why we would wear the whites >.< I'm not a superstitious person, but I do think switching the jerseys can mess up a rushed QB trying to get rid of a ball and not get sacked

I feel this is going to be a difficult game and if our special teams give up the same field position to Bo Levi Mitchell as they did to Bridge in the last game we will be in trouble. We need to ensure we lock down our special teams, especially on kick off and punt returns, so that we can give our defense a chance and in turn give better field position to our offense. We can't plan on outscoring their team if we are consistently losing the field position battle.

Even though Ambrosie has come out and said there should have been a call, I would love someone to post a review of the hit with Jeffcoat leading with his head. I had to watch it in real time and when they showed the refcam view where the ref was blocked it also looked as though Jeffcoat was leading with his shoulder and that their shoulders first collided and then you can't see what happens afterwards but I am assuming that is when the head contact took place. Either case; we had a couple iffy calls that gave the Riders a TD so I don't think missing that call changes the out come of the game because then we would also just complain about the other two calls that allowed the riders to be so close anyways.

I don't consider that challenge a waste, I feel those are the types of misses the challenges are made for. Not for fishing calls on last ditch effort throws at the end of the game. I think we are all so accustomed to seeing them used on bullshit iffy stuff where you never know which way it can go, that when we see an obviously blatant missed call that the challenge gets used on we feel it was a waste. In this game it worked perfect, he used the challenge on that call and it got turned into points, there was no other opportunity later to benefit sask to use a challenge. So it worked out exactly as it should.

For sure, I mean on paper the Bombers team are ahead in nearly every category or right up there but in reality we lose games we should win because of some innocuous happenings. So I say it's a toss up! I look forward to the playoffs and hopefully not being a one and done team this year

I missed do or die's usual post! Was there no Gin this foggy game?

I agree that this weeks match-up against Calgary is typically a poor match for our team, however, I honestly believe that we will go in and win this game to clinch a play off spot this year. I also expect after clinching that we will win a playoff game as well and then see what happens from there. I like our odds better in the west than in the east at this moment.

I actually said that in a different way, knowing that we have a game against Edmonton, means that for us to tie Edmonton we would have to lose both our games. Which would give Edmonton the season series, thus we need to win one more game to be in. Basically, I was implying that Edmonton has the series with us if we tie, as the only way to tie is to lose to them to give them the series.

We aren't for sure, we need one more win to secure playoffs otherwise we are out. Edmonton has the season series with us and will go to the play offs if we end up tied.

Wouldn't we focus on RB/RECEIVER/DLINE almost in that order this time around given our current teams philosophy of managing Canadian talent?

You are probably right on that, it's more a two year deal turned into three to account for the fact this season is almost over. The good thing is we get two years and if they go well I bet we get more. Hopefully he lives up to expectations.

Sucks to sign during this year though, would have preferred next year to get to 2021 instead of 2020 Still awesome signing! Also gives some depth for the stretch run if required. So who has to be released now that we've added one to our roster?

If I recall there were two games we were up and lost in the final three minutes this year that had we just played for a full sixty minutes we would have won.
