Banjo Bowl

[kelownabomberfan]

During pre-game the B'Nai Brith should hold a small ceremony and present Khalif Mitchell with an honorary Torah, yarmulke and flag of Israel.  What a turd that Mitchell is.  It's sad testament as to how low the Riders have fallen.  Mitchell shouldn't see a field in professional sports anywhere ever again.

Uggg to Johnson getting the start again. I was hoping after watching the film on Johnson missing tackle after tackle and just not covering well all game MOS would put Randle back in the lineup.

Assuming Randle can go.

The week is young, perhaps a change still occurs.

Not Johnson's first bad game of the season.  He was able to bounce back after a rough start so I'm hoping he can come back strong from that one.  I haven't heard anything about Randle being ready yet and I'll still take B Johnson over Posey.

I am still not sold on Bass as a MLB. He was great as an outside linebacker but even though he has been getting better, he is still roadkill on too many running plays. Messam is going to demolish him.

Am I only the one that thought Frederick was playing better than Adams has so far?

Nope. I am with you on that one, but it could be O'Shea's mandatory loyalty thing kicking in again.

[Noeller]

In fairness, Johnny Adams was an All Star last year...like, literally, he was voted as an All Star. So you have to give him that. And first game back, he looked really good, up against the best receiver in the league. He definitely stumbled BAD vs the Riders, but let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt. 

Frederick and Randle both considered options to replace an injured CJ Roberts this week, according to Bauming....

[WinnipegGordo]

Randle won't play this week, He's got a week to go on the 6 game IR.

[LimJahey]

whats the dislike for Roberts? guy came up pretty clutch last week iirc.

[do or die]

Expect a much better showing from Adams. 

Johnson? Dunno, in a number of games, has looked like the weakest link.

I have a feeling we won't see Messam this week.

Nothing really... but I'd rank him 4th among our corner options... Randle, Adams, Frederick, Roberts.... good problem to have...

Anyone worried ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that we'll slaughter the Riders?

I'm worried about a potential letting up and coming out flat. Hopefully not but sometimes it happens after winning a close game especially a LDC.

Also assume a few calls will go Sask's way. Even better if calls go their way and we still crush them. Then what happens to their argument?

It will be the biggest and loudest crowd of the season. I can't imagine they come out flat.

[Noeller]

this absolutely feels like more of a trap game than LDC did going in.....if the Bombers aren't 100% prepared to bring their A game, they'll get smacked in the mouth for sure.

We'll be playing Toronto.

 

Also .. too soon to start worrying about next week .. this team isn't good enough to look beyond the game right in front of them.

[blueingreenland]

Could we sign Brock for one game and let him throw a couple of deep ones?.

[szaroz71]

I'll be there with the wife and father in law, (both Bomber fans), looking forward to another fun game. Had a great time with Bomber fans at the LDC and I am excited to hopefully see another close game! Yeah we aren't playing the greatest football of all time lol but still enjoy the atmosphere of the rivalry. Just not looking forward to the crazy wait at the Rum Hut!

It'll be so loud there's no way this is a closer game than the LDC. With all the young guys the riders have coming in i can see it being pretty intimidating.

[bustamente]

No let down in the second half and this should be a cake walk, then again if we don't pressure Durant he will pick out db's apart.

[Jpan85]

Was shocked that Roberts made it through entire game. He was limping around pretty good for large portions of the game.

Moe Leggett looked to be a bit banged up too, IIRC he was limping a bit.

Just counted seats on ticketmaster looks like less than 40 seats left
