Fajardo did get sacked a whole bunch so they have flaws. Not BCs level. But we can't take them lightly. They have something going for them

Montreal has been a graveyard for Bomber teams in recent years.

Good thing they begged to have the Grey Cup again, eh?

[Eternal optimist]

To be fair, HAM had Schiltz starting instead of BLM. Two of the INTs he threw (one of which was a pick 6) were both lame ducks and telegraphed.

That said, it will be a tough test for our Oline. I think we will be OK if they keep Collaros clean, but hard to tell after this weeks showing

Mont. didn't look half bad.....can't take them for a free space on the card......Mack,Stanback....looked pretty good and Faj .....wellll looked like Faj......I hope we don't make them the 'beast of the east'....We have to take care of business in this one.....I wonder when Lawlers return is expected.....I think a few of our fans are getting a little pi$$ed off watching him sit

I was there last year. We won.

Montreal hasn't been a graveyard for Bombers teams in like a decade or more, it feels like. ****, I remember Cory Watson going in there and tearing them a new *******. Not since Calvillo days has it been "a graveyard". Having said that, this past week has me all kinds of concerned about playing anyone.

Can't find the stats. for the home loss to the Als last season, but I think it was similar to the last game were the O-line had trouble protecting Zach and they were unable to sustain drives.  Ultimately everyone blamed the loss on Leggs but in reality the game should never have come down to relying on a FG to salvage a win.

Even in the back half of the 00's the Bombers won there fairly regularly.

Calgary is the graveyard.

Well that's no longer an option after last game's debacle.

Yup seeing that F'ing horse run up and down the sidelines is not a pleasant memory.

What did the command centre get wrong?

Yeah...they made 2 correct calls

seriously, how could they see what landed first, hand or knee on thatbpunt? 

and if that close, why interfere with that?
 

anyway, I couldnt see whatnthey saw.

sask receivers back to earth after the bomber game.

Yeah that Sask output TSN raves about where they lost by 3 scores is more an outlier performance than the norm...Harris if so great would have turned those redzone appearances into TDs...like ZC did

If not for.the lucky bounces they got on the Harris strip sack fumble they would have zero points midway into 2nd quarter

This game is dull as dishwater. I actually fell asleep.

[JuranBoldenRules]

Harris puts up a hospital ball to Emilus under 10 seconds in the half deep in their own end.  Like they need more injuries.

Yup...5 secs left and do that ..take a intermediate shot up the middle if anything looking for a PI

To be fair - is Schiltz worse than BLM? 
 

Doubt it - probably better TBH

Chris Edwards is a ******* joke.

When you’re in that tier there is no better or worse imo. It’s varying shades of poop. Difference is schlitz could have upside. Blm only has down side. 

[Mark F]

looking at dave dickie, and his post elite bo  record, , I guess it's the saying obvious,   but  very hard to win without a very good qb.

Schiltz is as good or better.
