Now that some time has passed I just wanted to say thanks for all the support from fellow Bomber fans - it was really appreciated and I was overwhelmed at how much you guys stepped up at a time I really needed it. #FIFO

Not taking that bait, not opening that can...

new fave pic...

Imagine being this much of an ******* that you'd forsake your teammates......

Ed's not worried.

duke williams and moncrief by the looks of things.

100% agree...don't like it, but I agree. But...**** 'em. We know who the real fans are, and I'm already looking forward to the game thread tomorrow night. 17to85 and fam are coming over to watch the game....gonna be a time!

TBH the fact Harris went for "additional testing" makes me believe tbey couldn't determine if it was grade 1 or grade 2. A total tear I don't think he is walking like he was and no crutches Nah, time to change that mindset.

You are very optimistic

A grade 2 MCL strain is "structural damage" and usually takes about a month or so to heal. Also very common. No need to freak out right now given the context of our situation.

its probably not gonna be a classic but we can hope for it being entertaining.

If your question is whether Brady can be good enough to keep our RB a NAT position I think he has already answered that. He has two 100 yard games already in limited action, our offence seems to be just fine with him in there. He struggled a bit against TO in the back to back but they are a pretty solid front 7. He's a rookie and will only get better.

Well we have a back up for Oliveira already in Augustine...and remember they drafted Borsa (Back to school). So it looks like the plan is to keep the RB a National....for now anyways.

We'll get more than 20k. Book it. We set an October record during the last game of over 27k.

Luckily our receiving from the backfield is not as important to our success as in past years. We can shut Andrew down for the regular season, put in Brady who will go for 70-100 yards rushing a game and not miss a beat. We are not running the Lapo short game anymore. Had this development occurred in late 2019 it would have been far more devastating to us than it is now. I think Oliveira has been very impressive so far in his first season. Like all rookies he will become more consistent and just needs more reps. The guy can run. I would like to see him get more involved in the short passing game in the flats and then we will not miss a beat post-Harris. I certainly would give BO at least another season of FT duty before even thinking about that. He's shown he is capable imo. Also, Harris is not just the best NAT RB he has been the best RB period. There is no reason to believe we will find an IMP of that quality very easily either. I will add that Buck seems to be a lot less reliant on monster performances from his RBs game in and game out.

I dont think harris has to worry about rust for the western final. Its a question of how close to 100% will he be, it seems like he hasnt been close to 100% for most of the year. Games 2 and 3 buck pooped the bed with the play call and adjusting to a tite front. Buck hasnt shown any creativity or innovation in using his backs. 13 carries in the 2nd week, 5 other guys had carries in that game. 8 total runs in the 3rd week game, 7 for brady. 2 runs in the first half of the week 3 game. 3 in the 3rd q and 2 in the 4th. Our 2 and outs in that game was all about dropped passes. That would be excellent, as long as they actually made use of cooper as a DI. Under both plop and buck, we dont make use of substitution packages involving our DI's to get them looks. We could do serious damage if we did that with grant and cooper.

I am going to go with this being extra cautious from them. I think Booch speculated that it was an MCL. If so, a minor strain could/should be ready for him to at least share reps with Brady O. Also, let's not (all of us) condemn Brady Oliveira for slowing down a little in his 2nd or 3rd pro start after taking a year and a half off and coming back from a serious injury and no pre-season. I am confident he can pick up the torch and carry it in whatever way we need. We also get to give Augustine a chance to make some plays which he has more than earned.

If he's not on the roster then there's no sense worrying about him.

Has anyone been at the level of Doug Flutie?

Rose signing is not only improving our D but also keeping him away from competition’s hand. Riders, Argos & Ticats all need help in secondary.

Flutie was miles ahead of BLM. Garcia too.

Hey works out better for us if we have to play them in the play offs... 5 - 6 guys missing from the starting line up is a huge blow to any team.

Whoa, that's worse than Edmonton who have basically lost any chance to get to the big game already. These guys have a legitimate shot. To be so self centered or to cater to this minority Its not a good look either way.

I immediately visualized Hufnagel's face with purple veins standing out on his neck like firehoses.

Exactly, but don't get me involved in this. True fan meeting still at 5pm in the tailgate section tomorrow? EDIT: Oops, that was to be a DM. There is no meeting tomorrow. The above mentioned group does not exist.

That's the old truth. They've been very good at home for awhile.

I’m no doctor but know a bit about knee injuries. Given where he grabbed his leg in the back, could also be hamstring tear or posterior cruciate ligament. But I suspect we will hear more if it is season-ending or requires surgery. As for Brady, not all of us were condemning him early on. Actually, I was very impressed in the last Edmonton game how he was timing his blocks better a la Harris, and hitting the hole aggressively and confidently when he made his reads. We have a great luxury in letting him grow into the role over the next 4 games with less than the usual pressure given our lofty standing. And Augustine is most capable as well. A platoon style approach would not bother me at all. Keep them all fresh and not worn down while also giving them both healthy reps. Hey, that reminds me, I just picked up your Xmas present. 😉

I'm a Bomber fan c'mon. We're hypersensitive always waiting for the bottom to fall out. Always happens, I'm watching a game freaking out and my wife will pass by and say I assume the Bombers are losing and then she'll look at the score and say they're winning why are you acting this way? Because I need to hear that final whistle with our point total being more than theirs, then I'll relax. Serenity now.

Yes, as per Bauming, Harris can definitely come off the 6 game early...

It is actually kind of nuts how well Brady Oliveira played after basically not playing football for 2+ years in his first start.

You guys are, of course, very correct regarding Oliveira.....let's see what he does tomorrow and hopefully keeps getting better and better!

Not about the choice, it is a no brainer. The Bombers aren't backed by one of(the?) wealthiest people in Canada so every person in the stands matters.

You know that ain't happening though. They want the rest of the league doing exactly what we are.

well this answers my question from the other thread. Faaaaaack. That's the shits for Harris. If he's shut down for the regular season, the West Final isn't exactly the time to be shaking off rust. Really hope Oliveira has his **** figured out. We all thought everything was fine after Game 1, but then Games 2/3, he got shut down completely. It wasn't until Harris came back that our offense started to open up. As long as we clinch tomorrow night, then he can spend the next month trying to get it all figured out in case he's gotta carry the mail for playoffs, too......

Yeah, Yoshi likely scratched. He'll be good to go after the bye, I'm sure. I really wish they'd say more about Harris's knee and how long-term that's looking to be.....

Jesus Christ that's a lot of roster movement for the Argos. In theory, that should be a good game tonight....looking forward to it.

If Woogie was ever lost for any length of time, that's exactly who I want filling in...

I don't even think he is as good as his coach was.

There is a less than 0 chance of this trade ever happening...

Rose wont disrupt any chemistry and will slot right in where he was seamlessly as he already knows the system, and has played with everyone except the one guy he doesnt replace, and Darby, but I sure he knows Darby is a lights out baller and wont have to worry about covering up for him....Darby has been a huge addition, and he's loving it here....

What the giant said between Fee and Fum

Not sure if anyone else saw this, but I got a chuckle about #FIFO....... Welcome home, Rosie!

Screw getting a receiver...get Chad Rempel back here to do the long snaps on FGs lol. Seriously none of the receivers from either of those teams have stood out this year. Walker and Ellingson have looked pedestrian at best. From Ottawa the only player I'd want would be Devonte Dedmon - but even at that it'd be a minor upgrade (if any) over our current return Grant. Not only that - a good kick returner is often due to the special teams play around him - airlifting him in wouldn't necessarily make our return game phenomenal. The only deep threat receiver I'd currently want would be Burnham, but good luck prying him loose from BC - not to mention it'd be at a heavy price. More importantly though - trading away a DB like this sends the wrong message to that locker room, it'd be a very, very short-sighted move on our part. TLDR; There is a reason EDM and OTT are in the basement. I wouldn't want anyone from either of those teams.

The player has to want to play in the city that has his rights or they are worth nothing.

Maybe he will go down as such due to longevity. But he has never been at the level of Doug Flutie or Jeff Garcia.

I'd put Garcia & Dickenson over BLM also...

there's 82 Jets games, 41 at home. The Bombers have 14 games and 7 at home.......this is an absolute no-brainer. **** the Jets game.....
