IIRC- we have chased Lulay from a few games before have we not? On the other hand, he has carved up our D. I hope we chase him from the game. 

 

Regardless- it's nice to see Lulay back under center- I hope his outing is a good one- just not enough to win though. Great guy, class act.

[Mark F]

I hope it's a Bomber win, but a decent game. And I hope I can stay awake till the end of the game.

July last season

BC won 45-42 

completions attempts yards td int longest, sacks.rating, rushing att, yds, td, long.

I  recall that Lulay was helped a lot by his receivers in that game.

I thought I read somewhere that last game was the first time in years that the Bombers scored on four consecutive drives. Then I look at the stats from this game and the Bombers scored 4 straight TDs as well. Lol

I guess the difference is that last week BC didn't score any points while the Bombers scored 4 straight TDs. Last year BC did score a TD in the middle of the Bombers 4 TD drives.

Mark F:   I love close games when the Bombers aren’t playing... but give me 60-0 for the Bombers every game and I’ll be very happy.

I still have nightmares of Lulay coming in the game and our D over and over again almost catching him then him escaping for another first down.

But also great BC Place memories of 1990 with Battle’s INTs and Nick Benjamin’s downfield kick coverage (not to  mention the last you know what) and 2009 with Fred Reid’s 260 yards they can never stop us feeling. 

 

[Mark F]

ugg... That's a lot of long drives by B.C. last season. 

[NorthernSkunk]

I hate waiting for the game to start.

 

[Tracker]

I expect the Lions to throw everything they have at Nichols right from the whistle on. It will be interesting to see how/if LaPolice compensates.

[blueingreenland]

Fendler out. We are starting 2 rookies in the secondary with Leggett moving to LB.

[jazzsax]

Drinking game for tonight.

Everytime the bombers score... take a shot.

Everytime the defense blows coverage ... take a shot.
Everytime Rod Black says something stupid... take a shot.

Regardless how things go, everyone will be sheeeeetfaced.

[no71]

Rod black says something stupid?  I will die 10 times over from alcohol poisoning.

 

[rebusrankin]

I'd like to thank Harris for the early TD and keeping me alive in lock of the week.

[NorthernSkunk]

Nobody is stopping Harris tonight.  

[rebusrankin]

Chris Rainey is a dirty player.

Are you kidding me - one of those three things happens on every single play! I guess that's why Sunday is considered a day of rest.

[CodyT]

gotta hand it to Lapo. Mis direction, a lot of different looks. The offence looks like they have bought in.

 

bombers looking good 

[AKAChip]

I love how bad BC is. Looks real good. 

[NorthernSkunk]

That was a terrible decision running Streveler twice.............never mind the possibility of losing a future star.....that should have been demskis or harris' TD 

 

[M.O.A.B.]

Bombers need to score on this drive. To kill any momentum the Lions built on their last drive.

[rebusrankin]

We've lost the momentum

 

[Goalie]

We are giving this game away

[AKAChip]

Somebody please fire Al Bradbury into the sun. 

[blueingreenland]

Bombers need to step it up...now!!!
