It wasn't Duane Forde because the 2nd time the voice was talking over Duane's voice.   

I would of loved to hear Austin mic'd up...  the guy looks nearly Burke like on the sidelines  (dead inside)

my only complaint is I'd like to see some better production when we get the opposing 30. Yeah we have $Medlock$ but I'd really prefer he doesn't have to kick 6 fgs a game.  But I'm pleased with the win. Convincing none the less and a game we should have and did win.  Makes me a little sad that if we don't blow that 2 score lead with the Lions we'd be 6-1 right now. but 5-2 baby! 3 in a row! beat up esks up next then montreal.  If we head into the LDC 7-2 sky is the limit

Yes it'll be hard for the Blue not to look past the Esks to Montreal.

I don't think so. Didn't sound like him either. Likely someone from the truck. 

[Brandon]

Brandon Banks looks disinterested and slow these days...

[Noeller]

Was definitely not Forde that got accidentally Mic-ed up. Likely someone on TiCats sideline.

188 NET yards for Hamilton. That is outstanding. When was the last time a Blue Bombers team held the opposition under 200 net yards of offense?

we hold teams under 200 yards of offense at least 50% of the time (if the time period in question is 1 quarter)

[Stickem]

Ahhhhh...that's more like it and I hope we can keep it going...Solid play by D and the offence...made the Cats look silly...Nichols has really started to come into his own and he's learning to chuck the ball into the stands when there's nothing there...instead of the sack...I think they got to him a few times early but we shut that down...Loved the one armed grab by Adams for the td....This guy is sure proving his worth and I like the way we're moving the ball around to different receivers...Harris and Flanders....very dangerous...I hope we keep that going...Solid play =solid win...Way to go Bigblue...........................I'm really starting to like this Thomas kid.

Here's one to discuss, do you use a DI on Tristan O when he comes back? To me, you can't bench Jeffcoat, so that's the only solution.

Honestly, I love Westerman and the big plays he makes but he also makes so many bone headed penalities he can be hard to put up with. 

Fortunately, he's a Canadian at least. 

[Mr Dee]

We are so fortunate to have Westerman on our team. He fulfills so may needs. Does he get penalties? Yes, he does. But he is so worth it, it's not even funny. 

Don't kid yourself, every team in the league would look seriously at Westerman in their lineup and feel good about it.

To Hamilton for their first round pick.    Not sure they have any players we want.  Most of them are freaking brutal.

When you're pulling guys like that from 3rd tier arena ball you know you're in trouble.

How was there no flag on Adams catch?  All Unamba did was attach himself like a parasite into him.

Man, I loved what whoever it was said. No sugar coating the pathetic Ti Cats performance last night. No political correctness there.  I'd point fingers at Collaros. Yeah, his line is bad but he's using it as a crutch.  He's shown zero leadership this year. I guess we know now he'd have played in 2015 had he signed with the Bombers with that turnstile of an OL we had instead of Hamilton.

I was wondering the same thing. Another miss by the ref, who was right there. Unamba practically hog tied Adams, but forgot he had two hands, and only needed one. 

Now that's a challenge we would have won easily..

yeah I was thinking as the ball was still in the air and watching Adams getting man-handled "Glad MOS still has that one challenge left".   As I said though, glad Adams caught it and saved me a strike this week.

yea to suggest Westerman's negatives even remotely come close to his positives is asinine.  Hes a Canadian who plays as well as if not better then most DE's in the league..  Hes non-stop and frankly, I like the edge he plays on.. sometimes its a bit too much and it costs us a 15 but on the other hand, his timing sometimes is perfect and he breaks up plays or gets a sack/hit on the QB..  if we were to cut him today, there would be a lineup of GMs vying for his signature on a contract.

that was an absolute mugging and I was amazed the flag wasn't thrown.. if we would have had to challenge that...

Let's start five or six threads on it so it can be discussed fully!

I think if Adams hadn't come down with the ball then the ref probably would have thrown the flag. Plenty of times they keep the flags in their pocket until the play is done for what ever reason.

I wouldn't.  There's 3 NIs taking regular reps on the DL.  Don't really have a use for a DI there.

I have a feeling with his lineage Jeffcoat will ask for his release at the end of the season to pursue NFL opportunities, so the Bombers better hedge their bets and keep Okie on standby.
