"What's the biggest concern after this first 2 quarters coach"?

"That the score is 31-0"


Lol!

 

[HannuJ]

so, when do you put in Streveler?
i say start of the 4th. but we know this will not happen.

*whoops. i literally spoke 4 seconds too soon*

Wonder if the Laine and Ehlers are Bombers fans..they weren't even born when the Bombers won that last Grey Cup.

I know I stopped cheering for the bombers. They're baseline my fav team in the CFL, but I can't get invested in them. Why bother.

CFL football is an odd thing. It doesn't take much to be a good team and you are likely to see a finals chance every few years.

Didn't really appreciate the play of Bighill in BC, I knew he was a very good football player but holy hell

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Riders have been so lucky this year. Glad it stopped today. Zero class in sask I'm glad to these jackasses get embarrassed.

That signing was massive, I honestly think he's the best defensive player in the CFL. If he was 3 inches taller he'd definitely be a guy who never had a chance of coming to the CFL.

Dominant game by the defense as a whole this afternoon though.

What a beautiful score

Just part of Jones' cunning strategy to ensure a Riders-Bombers semi at Mosaic. Beware The 13th Man, Holden. It tolls for thee. Or something like that.

Great game by the Bombers. They dominated every aspect. Nichols was sharp. The D was outstanding. Bighill with one of the most dominant defensive performances in a long time. He was unstoppable.

Kudos to the coaches that had a great game plan.

 

[Ducky10]

@GNP , Nichols was great today, made some great reads, was decisive and got the ball over the top at the right times. He did a really good job with some misdirection in looking off the safety. Play action really helped the Bombers today, as it always should with a back like Harris. As predicted Bombers owned the line of scrimmage.

Would have been curious to see if LaPolice would have stuck to the game plan if the score was closer. He tends to get a little impatient but had the luxury of not having to be today.

Bighill, Loffler and the D were simply beastly today.

 

[bustamente]

If Nichols doesn't give the game away and the D can continue to play like they have, there is hope.......at least that what I keep telling myself, very satisfying win this afternoon.

 

[HannuJ]

Bombers are going into the final stretch really healthy.
Riders and Calgary cannot say the same.

 

[one other person]

Am now quietly hopeful for the playoffs.

 

[rubikscube]

The CFL is strictly about making playoffs, staying healthy and getting hot at the end. One 3 game win streak wins it all.

Glad to see us actually finding our groove and peaking at the end of the season for once to give us an actual chance

You're right on the money with that. Quite often a great regular season record doesn't guarantee playoff success.

 

[HannuJ]

in Streveler's throw to Dressler, man...those mechanics were awful but the catch was excellent!

I liked that Loffler was reading plays and jumping routes instead of just looking for big hits after 15-20 yard receptions.

Looks like Bombers have signed Geoff Gray...potentially good news for Blue!

If you're the Bombers or [especially] the Stampeders, it never guarantees playoff success.

Another good Canadian for our Oline. That draft pick doesn’t look too bad

 

[HannuJ]

new jerseys next year for the Alouettes. finally.



someone pointed out that ALL of their old logos are in small font on the helmet. I'm guessing the Delta logo's on the other side

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Doesn't effect this year at all, IMO. But next year Gray (24) - Goossen (26) - Chung (27) is probably the best and youngest interior OL in the entire league.

 

[bustamente]

I wonder if Muamba is due any bonuses in the new year
