Bye this week - Hamilton I can't wait to lay a beating on the Bombers under the lights July 1st. Place is going to be insane. - (poster- Riderfans - The usual suspect) Herb Zurkowsky - It's believed #AlsMTL cornerback Jonathon Mincy suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter. Injury to @7Bowman not considered serious. Mason Nesbitt - Just talked to @CowboyAthletics and @GopherFootball product Drew Wolitarsky. He's excited to join CFL Winnipeg Blue Bombers in about a week. Randy Turner - Fun Fact: Construction crew that built Mosaic Stadium was 2nd largest workforce in Regina last yr. Only Riders practice roster was larger. Rick Armstrong - The sideline seats at BMO are $225/$250 a ticket. Sidelines midfield $85-$150. Far too expensive when trying to attract fans. #CFL ?‍? Seems like the Bombers forgot to pretend the 1st quarter is the second Q, so they could actually begin to play on time.. ?‍? The Bombers thumb their noses at the Riders by overcoming bad tackling, missed open receivers, allowing 4 sacks and no help from the C’mon Centre. - But we beat Saskatchewan, so all is forgiven… ?‍?Say what you will, but after all is said and done, we played 3/4 and beat a team that played 4 ?‍? Yes, I agree the 4th quarter offence should have been able to control TOP much better than it did ?‍? Heh, heh, heh..Weston Dressler, in the new Mozaic stadium, personally rubbing it in.. CFL - Opening of New Mosaic fails to have fairy tale ending. @Wpg_BlueBombers spoil @sskroughriders ?‍?that's all I need to see ^^ QUOTES - 3downnation “Luckily, we made one more play at the end than they did,” said Blue Bombers slotback Weston Dressler. “It’s a roller-coaster ride, but at the same time I don’t feel like we did our job as an offence,” Nichols said. “We’re up 14 and we need to go down the field and at least kick another field goal and go up 17. We didn’t get that job done.” “We could have come into halftime feeling sorry for ourselves and not responded,” Nichols said. “We did come out and we did respond and put up points and it seemed like they were coming in bunches. I think that just speaks to the kind of team that we have.” “We can play good defence some of the time, but we need to learn how to play good defence all the time,” Jones said. "I make two better decisions in that game, & we win that game." Ed Tait - “We gave the last punch,” said Bombers receiver Darvin Adams. “It’s always good to win. We’ve got a lot of things to clean up, but it’s so much better to be doing it after a win. Jeff Hamilton - Mike O'Shea on W. Dressler: "He’s still fast, if anyone was questioning that. He still gets behind coverage. You need him on the team.” -"Great players make great f**king plays," one #Bomber player said re: Jamaal "shoestring" Westerman, who caught the foot of Marshall in OT. Sam Hurl - Love the guys we got in our locker room! Big win! #bluebombers Chris Jones - We can't say we should be 2-0. We played two good teams who deserved to beat us and we let them make enough plays to beat us. Andrew Harris - “For. The. W.” Maurice Leggett - "No more talking about last year. Time to be better starting this week." ?‍?Somebody's going to lose a road game at Mozaic Stadium..we’re ok this time.. CFL Headlines - ESPN2 misses end of CFL game with technical difficulties, no on-air acknowledgement awfulannouncing.com/espn/espn2-mis… via @AndrewBucholtz - $277K 50/50 win unclaimed in Sask. goo.gl/FZwKU9 #MosaicStadium #Riders Weston Dressler has now played three games against his old club and his totals are gaudy – 20 receptions for 336 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed once for 22 yards -Tait 17:17 – Minutes played before the Bombers registered their first first down of the game, on an eight-yard completion to Weston Dressler. Winnipeg had zero first downs in the first quarter; Saskatchewan had five. Ed Tait Edmonton remain undefeated – but lose another key player. (John White) Jeff Hamilton - #Bombers R L'Damian Washington, whose family struggled after losing both of their parents, dedicated Saturday's touchdown to his 3 brothers. ?‍?My tackle of the game goes to Kyle Knox on Morris ?‍?My strange play of the game - Sask. throwing 2 defenders out to cover 3 Bomber receivers…Easy TD Dressler ..... GREAT EFFORTS............... Luca Congi - I can't stand when people say the kicker lost the game. it's a team game. How about the fact that you left Dressler wide open for 2 TD Winnipeg Blue Bombers - "At the end of the day it’s just football. We knew there would be obstacles to overcome and we did it.” ?‍?MAJOR D-BAG ALERT - On TJ Heath’s interception, Duron Carter chases Heath, but doesn't catch him, so instead he grabs Hurls face mask and spins him around., confirming his official status as the league’s Major D-Bag, and it ain't even close. At the 1:22 mark of this clip http://ow.ly/c53O30dfbpA ?‍?Darrin Adams, on the 1st Dressler TD shows restraint by NOT attempting a block on Rider #45 Kacy Rodgers II ?‍?Notice that nice play by Miller on forcing that fumble by Morris. Blue Bomber Talk - Chris Jones lost to Darian Durant in week one & Weston Dressler in week two. He plays John Chick next week. #Riders #CFL 3downnation -The Stamps are using an international at centre (Ucambre Williams) while Canadians Spencer Wilson (left) and Dan Federkeil (right) are manning the tackle spots. -Rene Paredes has a problem with converts. -the home opener attendance wasn’t great. A crowd of 24,613 might be great in other cities but it’s disappointing in Calgary. CFL Headlines - New three-year partnership between Parc olympique and the Alouettes #AlsMTL #CFL goo.gl/XgFvPM ?‍?Yech - Winnipeg’s first-down production in the first quarter averaged just 1.8 yards Ed Tait ?‍?The good- The Bombers got possession of the ball with 2:37 left in the first half, and over the next 13 minutes and 32 seconds into the third quarter, out-scored the Riders 31-3. During that span, the club ran 18 plays that resulted in 273 yards and three touchdowns, as Nichols went 10 for 13 for 234 yards and hit Dressler twice and Washington once for TDs. ?‍?The bad After a Medlock field goal restored a two-touchdown lead at 37-23, the Bombers were outscored 14-zip in the final nine minutes of regulation while having three consecutive punts on their possessions before ending with a kneel-down prior to overtime. Ed Tait CFL Headlines - Chris Jones is in over his head goo.gl/fb/mRoMB5 via @GregUrbanoski (Rider Writer) Herb Zurkowsky - It should come as no surprise #AlsMTL CB Jonathon Mincy isn't at practice. Suffered concussion. Two corners are Phillips and Unamba. Drew Edwards - #Ticats have placed REC @TToliver80 on the six-game injured list. #CFL Calgary - The Stamps have added defensive lineman Aston Whiteside to the practice roster Week 3 Bye - Edmonton BC @ Montreal Calgary @ Winnipeg Toronto @ Ottawa Hamilton @ Saskatchewan - can you say biggest game of the week?
