trueBlue83 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 I think the stadium noise that Reilly is going to face this Sunday is something he hasn't heard in a very long time, and will give him fits all day. He's good, but that's an element that does not show in any statistic!! wbbfan 1

They're trying to sell tickets to the game Sunday, not scare people away.
Tracker Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 FWIW, the forecast for Sunday is for a sunny day with a high of -3 and a chance of snow. Weather at this time of year is pretty unpredictable, though, so no definitive forecast until Wednesday.

No ****- we should just not play and give them the win. I mean that win streak is as unbeatable as week 9. SPuDS 1

Jock was extolling the virtues of Calgary having the best O-line in the league last week at halftime of the Bombers-Stumpeders game. He doesn't even watch the games anymore. He's probably thinks Ray will outshine Calvillo in the Grey Cup, the Esks beating the Als. Mark F 1

FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 With injured QB and a receiving core that is under 6' average the D is going to have to win this. Medlock the only one im not worried about. blue_gold_84 and USABomberfan 1 1

Medlock the only one im not worried about. of the 7 receivers on game day roster only 2 of them are under 6 feet...so that comment/assessment holds no real merit...and really it would have no effect on things any way blue_gold_84, sweep the leg and Atomic 3
blueandgoldguy Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 Special teams will have to dominate as they have for several games this season with some good kick/punt returns. D will need 3 to 4 turnovers to give the Bomber offense some short fields to work with. I still expect them to give up 450+ yards though. With Nichols likely to be nowhere near 100% we have to hope he can somehow make it through the game without getting further hurt - a monumental task with his lack of mobility.
