Doug Brown nailed it in his article in the Freep, Harris was chewing up yards and La Po and the BB’s decide Streveler should be the one rushing the ball in the second half. As usual La Po starts strong as the O coordinator and then the brain cramps start fast and furious.......

A lot of talent being wasted by a triumvirate of mediocre coaches. LaPo is probably the best of the three, but yeah, his penchant for veering away from our strengths is extremely frustrating. I'll tell you, if the Riders continue to underachieve and Jones is let go, the Bombers should snap him up while he's available. The guy is a proven winner over the course of his career.

I love how LaPo was so unapologetic about his 3rd down strategy the oher day. You have to love coaches who are just too proud and irrationally loyal to actually realize they f***ed up.

Keep your 3rd down strategy Paul, just give the ball to your best ball carrier more often. It's not that complicated.

I thought I read in the paper that he said he screwed up, and apologized to Harris in pracky, saying he should've got ball twice.

Wow, now June Jones looks like an awful decision maker. How are they losing to the awful Riders who have no offense?
Masoli is so great apparently but yet they can't win?

Bombers lose today every one from the practice roster guys to Walters should be worried about losing their job. It's too early to be a "must win" game but it's a f***ing "must win".

Hurry before they sell out!

The only sell out you'll see in Toronto is the CFL headquarters catering to their "flagship" franchise. This turf debacle is a joke. The league should have said, fix the problem and you won't be allowed to host games until you do. Play their "home" games in their opponents' stadiums, or at least a neutral site elsewhere. It is not without precedent. And where is the CFLPA in all this? Why isn't it doing anything to protect the players' safety? Do we need a serious injury to get some action on this?

Chris Randle is a last minute scratch due to injury. Big loss for BB. Cooper (who has struggled in season and TC, IMO) and Fogg will start at CB and Sayles and Alexander will start at HB. That's two big injuries in the secondary with Fenner and Randle out.

To be fair though I think the bigger question is how Nichols and the offense will rebound. The fact that I'm saying that is concerning though. As long as they play half decent they should stomp this Argos team.

Anybody here who can play DB beds to put your beer down and hit the transporter and get Scotty to beam you over to BMO field.

The secondary isn't so hot when all are healthy but I have a feeling it gonna get ugly.

If Nichols and his receivers are in sync the first to 100. More power to you.

Teams are starting to leave us behind in the West, generally games in the first third of the season are not indicative of whether you will miss the playoffs but 2-4 will give me a sinking feeling.

Nope not at all.

Bombers will be .5 games back in the west after this win. They have 3 games left vs Sask, 2 vs Edm. We haven't pulled away like we should have but being left behind is a overstatement.

I want to be optimistic but I got a bad feeling.
