love the thread title.......nice work.

I wanna smoke the RBs so badly....just to make a point about them being much below their record. Bauming seems to think Bighill will absolutely be playing, so there's that....here's hoping the injury talk is overblown.

Matty vs Dom.  Gonna be interesting.  I still got no tv out here by the beaches though.... looks like another evening of Irving and Brown

Just thought I'd mention it for others on here too...TSN now offers per-day rates ($4.99 + tax), for access to their channels, so you could use that, provided you have an internet connection.

I'm stuck at work until late Friday night. Displeased about that.

[johnzo]

yeah, this is a great thread title, nice work

Pretty simple... need to rush Davis and everything else will fall into place.

Bighill is out this week. #Bombers

Ottawa has beaten Calgary and Saskatchewan.  In previous years that would be seen as a power move.  This year...it's surprising based on Ottawa's offseason, but isn't  as big of an achievement based on Calgary and Saskatchewan's play so far.

We are surely Ottawa's biggest test so far.  Whereas I don't feel like they are ours.  That said, it will be an interesting game.  They are a solid team.

 

Does anyone want to make guesses on the FG length that Ward will miss tomorrow?

Not good, but not disastrous, either. Time to see who the next man up will be and how good he is.

👁‍🗨The Bombers are travelling to Ottawa as four-point underdogs. Because of home field for Ottawa?

Expect high dosages of pressure from the Bombers, led by Jackson Jeffcoat who has a remarkable 13 pressures through two games, according to Derek Taylor.

The Bombers have faced two experienced QBs so far. Not so much with Davis. Even with Bighill out, now would be a good time to let loose.

Jesse Briggs is likely to start at weakside LB.......yuck

Dom has worked with MOS and the Bombers though and has some insight there....

It doesn't mean Temple won't see time on WIL. They rotate players on D.

Hope so. I guess I still have PTSD from watching the likes of fellow Canadian LB's Neil McKinlay, Pierre Luc-Labbe, and Sam Hurl get run over throughout the years.

Briggs has already played a fair bit this season. Has looked not bad.

Likewise for the Coaching staff of the Bombers on Davis..

[HardCoreBlue]

No AB means Jefferson has a monster game to compensate.

For me though the difference may be that MOS is still working with Nichols which Dom knows lots about all ready,  as well how much he knows how the bomber defence operate.....  so I wonder how much new stuff Dom is learning and working on with Campbell and his crew.  A couple unknown plays from Dom could be the difference in the game.   I hope it's a great game and is named the game of the week.... with the Bombers winning of course. 

[do or die]

Big factor will be getting the run game in gear.  After last week, Harris must be chomping at the bit....and Bombers need it to control things.

yes, that was painful to watch Jessie Lumsden have a career game running over a hapless McKinlay...so frustrating.

memorable game that was. What did he get two hundred yards rushing?

if you have a cell phone and reception you can watch on TSN live in the app. Might want to just make sure you have enough data.
