Mike Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 I think realistically, expecting anything but a close game is somewhat foolish. Both teams definitely have the ability to win and the Bombers are definitely the underdog but I'm hoping we can control the line of scrimmage, win the special teams battle and snap off a couple big plays on either side of the ball to get the W. Definitely not expecting to go in there and stomp them. They're a pretty good team. But so are the Bombers. JCon 1
bearpants Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 I pretty much expect a Bomber loss every year on Labour Day.... records be damned... I've felt that way ever since he 7-1 vs 1-7 fiasco... Wanna-B-Fanboy and blue_gold_84 2

I was so confident the year the Riders started their 3RD STRING QB Rocky Butler who was probably a worse passer than Streveler...and we get beat. We also lost in 1990, 1988, and 1984, years we won the Grey Cup. bearpants and GCJenks 1 1

BomberBall Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 @DarrinBauming 49m49 minutes ago Augustine and Santiago each working with the #Bombers’ first-team offence at practice today, as is Darvin Adams. Rod Black, Noeller and Tracker 3
BomberBall Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 @DarrinBauming 1h1 hour ago DE Craig Roh was placed on the 1-Game Injured List last week. Roh is back working alongside Jonathan Kongbo today, opposite Willie Jefferson. DB Mercy Maston is watching today as well. Maston was placed on the 1-Game injured list last week. Marcus Rios got the majority of the work at fieldside halfback last week, and is again there today. Rios snagged a 46-yard pick-6 on Friday against Edmonton. O-linemen Cody Speller and Jermarcus Hardrick are spectators at practice today. Hardrick has missed some practices as of recent but played in the games. Speller has missed the #Bombers’ last two. rebusrankin and blue_gold_84 2
17to85 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 So as expected it'll be a RB by committee thing. No problems with that. Floyd 1

What's the story? Just like in Edmonton. Except Augustine gets the long run through a giant hole instead of Harris.I didn't feel number 33 was at his best last game and now we know why. If the replacement is half as effective as Harris at his best that is still pretty good. JCon 1
BomberBall Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 @DarrinBauming 15m15 minutes ago Positive sign at practice today as Jackson Jeffcoat is in cleats and running. He’s missed the #Bombers’ last three games and can officially begin practicing next week. rebusrankin, blue_gold_84, Noeller and 3 others 6

Jpan85 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Either this week or next they are throwing to Jefferson on fake field goal. Just got a feeling about that. Floyd and JCon 2

rebusrankin Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 History has taught me to be pessimistic about the LDC, I still have nightmares from the 2002 Rocky Butler game (so frustrating to see live). However with everything going on right now, this week feels like we are playing with house money. Tracker 1
Jpan85 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Yeah there is a low percentage chance we win this weekend. This is how this weekend plays out Riders get a few lucky plays, Bombers make a few bone head mistakes. I walk out to avalanch of trash talk.

However with everything going on right now, this week feels like we are playing with house money. We may be considered underdogs with all the turmoil and injuries going up against a relatively healthy Rider team, but that is not all bad. If our side pulls together in the face of adversity and beats the Greenies, particularly if it is a lopsided win, that should deflate them pretty good. rebusrankin 1

Yeah, I feel like the guys playing will have something to prove for their brothers (Nichols and Harris) and will step up. Its a big game, a split would be huge for the team. It wouldn't shock me if we went in there and won. Riders will be pretty cocky..
Brandon Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 Peterman is awesome.... I'd think he would thrive if given more of a chance. Noeller 1

VoR Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 If rumours Are true and WJ5 was wearing #13 at practice - is he gonna play both ways? He started as a TE, so ... maybe ? It'd be brown trousers time for the db lining up to cover him
