Any given Saturday doesn't have quite the same ring to it... but every game starts 0-0, right? Cautiously optimistic.

Defense needs to get a score. Scoop and score, pick six take some pressure off the O.

Protect the football and force some turnovers. That's how you win in the cfl these days.

This. Harris needs to have a big game against a lousy run defense. Nichols needs to play smart. On D, they'll have to contain and pressure Reilly to keep damage through the air to a minimum.

Exactly 52 weeks ago to the day, the Bombers went into Edmonton and got a huge win. Hopefully, history will repeat itself tonight.

Bombers cannot, repeat, cannot let the Esks build any sizeable (more than 10 points) lead or let the Esk ground game get untracked. If this happens, we will be boned no matter how much time is left on the clock. This team has not shown the ability to fight back from a deficit as in previous years when the games were often won in the last quarter.

Well, if that happens, Richie Hall can get left off the team bus on the way home.

As hard as I've been on Nichols the last year, he does seem to find a way to bring it against his former squad.   Here's hoping he can scrounge something together today and get a W.. a W today changes the complexion moving forward!

don't let Reilly move up in the pocket, and escape out on the left side. 

Bombers should be ok against the run.

Edmonton has a good D line, do something to keep them under control.

Edmonton linebackers are not very big, run right at them.

We have one advantage. I think our OL is better than Edmonton so hopefully Reilly will stay upright today.
