Week 1. Revenge of the Darkside

[Bigblue204]

Can't wait for Thursday. I'm honestly expecting this to be a big win for the Bombers. I don't think Fajardo will be anywhere near as efficient and I think our Offense goes off.

Hearing Alexander and Brady are practicing today. Bond at Corner. No word yet about the LB situation.

Lber sounds like Kyrie slides to mac, cole at wil, and kramdi at sam. Hope not though.

Could be kramdi-Gauthier-wilson so we should count ourselves fortunate. 

Really though,  this is just preseason game 3. Get 2 point by hook or by crook and go from there.

[Booch]

what I just don't understand is, if you have the opportunity, and the ability/availability to make yourself the best you can...regardless of who it is...how long they been here...where they from.....why you wont just do it???

Such a dangerous thing to be writing off games. Its bad enough we do it at the end of the season. If we do it at the beginning we are cooked. Its a far cry from the days of Mos talking about wanting to get wins when ever we could.

The dynasty team we have has been taken for granted. We don't need to use the naturalized american, we don't need to get more than 4-5 snaps in a niche role out of a DI, we should start and play all the canadians and role guys like they are stars, just draft cover team guys and it'll be fine. It drives me insane. Especially after seeing the best group of defensive talent in a bomber TC ever.

I just hope we don't stall out on O like we did during pre season.

Odds we go 2 and out in the first series? Im a say 5:1

First series I bet they score, after that though, can see things bogging down.

First drive touchdown, no red zone activity after that until late in the second quarter

First kick-off- fumble recovery, Touchdown

First kick return - double reverse, Touchdown.

First offensive series, 85 yard pass and catch, Touchdown

First defensive series - pick six, Touchdown

First reality check of the season - after each one of these predictions don't happen.

Go Bombers.

I think our offence is going to be outstanding. Schoen, Lawler, Demski, Oliveira.... No one can match those weapons.

We should have a poll on the GDT, who ever makes it, make it happen!

It'll get there, but I don't think it'll start there.

So who on the Bomber roster is the Bandit?  Hopefully one of the new DBs.

right... and that's probably why the Bombers kept 2 new DL, 2 new LBs, and 3 new DBs... who did the Bombers release that is a "can't miss" prospect?... I think (hope anyways) a strong DL rotation, including rest for Willie, will do wonders for the D as a whole...

Who said released? We're talking about roster management....

Fair point... but it is practice 1 of week 1... let's wait to see how the roster shakes out on Thurs before the teeth gnashing begins

Sucks kelly is hurt. 

Shouldn't guys just returning be on the list? Or the 6 game? It'd be nice if we had a reasonable time line for guys day to day vs month to month etc. But we'd just obfuscate that reporting too.

It is, but it's also week 1 of the season following a GC loss due to roster miss management, after we miss managed the crap out of the pre season and TC. Gnash gnash gnash gnash

Go Bombers.  

We score on the first series on a Jet sweep - after the big reveal - Brock Ralph comes out of retirement for one last play.

I see cfl.ca's Brandon C Williams(whoever the hell that is) has been doing his due diligence and is up to task with his article today. Cant wait to see this new guy Liam Dotson who is apparently one of the new faces on this years team. Do they not have any proof readers? Its actually embarrassing for a leagues website.
