Cause it's raining? That's ******* stupid

My guess is it is for the fans coming to the game....  it's Winnipeg.  Once a touch of rain hits the streets for some reason the city slows down to a crawl and you can add an additional 30 minutes for any drive around town.

Poop scratched again, that's cool, I guess we don't need any pass rush tonight.

could not find that

 

[Brandon]

Is Poop banged up?   I'm not familiar with why he is not getting play time?

I used to feel like the bombers  were the kind of team to let a 3rd string  qb have a coming out party with his first start.  But not this team.

[USABomberfan]

Even so, man I'ma say something that is not going to play well at all here, but we get to forget about the NHL cuz bomber football is the real deal.  Booyah.

I know, that's just a captain obvious statement, but man it just seems like it was only yesterday that the MO in Bomber land was once labor day and banjo bowl were over, Bomber football was over.  Now we're in a real race that can put the Jets on hold till January.

Only morons felt like that....and they're not welcome here, IMO.... #KiddingNotKidding

this is correct, and hilarious.

Manitobans drive full speed through blinding snow,  skating rink quality  ice, white out blizzards, but

RAIN ...... slow to a crawl.

We can't drive in rain.

lol winnipeg.

[O2L]

I do expect us to win and by a good margin. I do t look to the sins of past teams. That said, one look at our two games against Montreal and our one against BC will tell you that we definitely have played down to our opponent in recent history.

Henry Burris on the TSN Panel.

Those Playbook segments were atrocious. Let's see if this goes better.

Al is forgiven, Hank. All is forgiven... After they shame you.

Boy I don't know about that call on the UR on the sack on Matt Nichols.  I mean that flag there kinda disturbs me.

 

I am all for eliminating dirty hits especially to QBs and for at least letting defensive players know they will be punished for looking to take out an opposing QB.  But where does it end?

I mean last I checked, DLmen were paid to sack the QB, cleanly yes but ... I don't know I don't think that guy had any ill intent other than to do his job there.  Im concerned cuz if that shoe is on the other foot ... What are we gonna do?

Snapped Nichols head pretty good so there was solid contact made.

Was a head shot. Called every time. 

[USABomberfan]

On a big positive note, DL stepping up in place of Westerman and getting us kick-started.  Booyah

[Goalie]

Lightning again.
