Bombers win!....just the way we drew it up.... Ok, pass pro, secondary, and run game needs work.. At least the gin consumption is in mid-season form...

That's what good teams do...or find way to win when they clearly were second best on the night Offence seemed out of sync for periods of time...I gonna chalk that up to starters real first game all together I think Johnny needs to be feature back..and Brady as the change of pace guy to start the season. Rose was bad....shitt happens...I'm sure just an anomaly but can't get BA back soon enough...Rutledge gonna be a stud...for first game showed really well. Wilson is a stud...so underated but can say prob best WIL in the league When Jeffcoat is back...we will be just fine... Schoen is gonna be really good...just wait till he has more games under his belt...Ellingson as advertised too I bet next week is a totally diff game and result...and we coast to a win..u know our vets are not impressed with how they played

That shot on Schoen was a blatant target of the head...friggin knocked his helmet off even...how that was not called...or how the broadcasters didn't even comment was pathetic

Turns out Rose was hot garbage in the 2nd half too. I get the feeling he was trying to play 2 different positions when he should have been concentrating on one. Not worried about him at all. Dru Brown was awesome in the frying pan. Total respect for him.

HH - The RB coach in charge of clock management. The first half should have ended with a Ward fg

1 kyrie best player through and through four great quarters of play 2 Willy j really picked it up in the second half and lead the wake up of the defense 3 ellingson great catches great break up of a pick hh dru brown last minute and a half comes in for zach and drives it down for a fg.

That PI challenge & his blatant cheering for Ottawa to win that challenge was pathetic. Forde never mentioned the headshot to Schoen which was so obvious. What a serious non call. That could have been a bad head injury as I felt he was targeted. Any high shot like that should be a 15 yard penalty. Schoen was lucky. Hopefully Zach Collaros is okay.

In what scheme is the safety helping a corner outside the numbers? If Rose was leaving the inside breaking routes there'd be no issue. He's biting on them and getting beat downfield to the sideline.

Safety isn't the problem. The corner biting on all the double moves is.

No suitor is a win too

Doesn't that make it worse? To me the one on Zach should have been flagged easily. If a defender has to go that low to hit you, you probably aren't eligible to be hit.

Not to pile on but even last year when Rose became available I wasn't sure Jones should have come out of the lineup. That D was all time great so I questioned the need to change anything even for an all star like him. I felt even then that Rose became our weakest link in the secondary from that point onward (though it never got as bad as last night). Still cheering for the guy 100% and hope he regains his 2019 form for us.

They should just make headshots automatic, regardless of the situation, intent, etc. No grey area. Put the burden on the tackler.

I wonder if he's not still a bit knicked up. He went from a walking boot to practising in a couple days.

I don't know why people are making excuses for Rose? Watch the replay the guy bit hard each time on Acklins moves and was flat out beat. I hope it was just a bad day but he was getting absolutely owned today.

Dru brown interview on ob...... guy is dead calm.

Well Brown went 3/3 for 51 yards to get us to the win so I’m comfortable with giving him first star because without that drive we don’t win period. Defenders were leading with their head all game. Not good for the game. Gotta call a flag

I’m good with it if that’s the call. But then you gotta throw the flag

Got the two points and that's what matters. Rose needs to show up next game. He got burned way too much out there tonight.

come on ya'll didn't seriously think they'd lose did you?

TSN & country. JFC. The league talks abouit growing the game with a younger audience & the host network is ******* tone deaf.

The Ottawa player launched his body at a guys head. Pretty clear cut to me.. Even if he did put himself in a bad spot, you still can't launch your full weight into a guys head. It's what they wanna take out of the game.

The shot on Shcoen was totally targeted...dude aimed and targeted at the head...launched himself even at it..was totally intentional and the defensive player woukd have landed the same shot regardless of Schoen's position...it was done with intent. Was funny those Red blacks were quite yappy and spouting off all game like they were defending champs or something..even in pregame...the old perverbial poking a bear is gonna do them in next week ..we were flat..complacent a bit and I think almost played like we just needed to show up... uncharacteristic for this crew...Friday is gonna be a diff game

I also thought Rutledge looked pretty good on the other side of the field.

No his head was exposed and the DB made the decision to lead with his helmet on a defenseless receiver. The worst hit of the night in my opinion at least with Collaros he was on his way down, this was a targeted attempt.

I know it got discussed here last night but if you can pull a player for a headshot, why do you not assign the penalty to go with the head shot?

Just stopped by to thank LaPo for the most atrocious clock management at the end of the first half.

The Bombers looked rusty and the thought has to cross your mind , " should they have played the vets in the preseason more ? " BUT on the other hand ,how important were those games for Dru Brown ? Did that confidence he showed in that drive to win the game come from his time in preseason ? Bottom line is we racked up a win

Well they dont ask how, just how many, but that was fugly. That really should have been a loss. I think that game has woken the boys up though and put them in a salty mood. Ive got a feeling were going to lay a sh** stomping on Ottawa next week.

But...all that matters is 1-0...like I said...good teams win when they play not up to standard....that was a game like so many times before where we are on losing end like Ottawa was when we were finding our way still...not worried unless next week is more of the same

Kyrie Wilson is going to be an All-Star this year and it's overdue - he is a big-time player. So impressed by Dru Brown and the coaching staff to show confidence in him that I didn't have. Legs came through when it counted. Happy honker to my PVR that allowed me to fast forward after a few smoke breaks during the Dru drive to make sure the Bombers won before I rewound to watch the last 3 minutes a couple of times... All is well in One Great City.

-Friggen TSN. Breaks away immediatly before the players are off the field for a coverage and breakdown of,a basketball game. Finally return to the CFL, get part way through the game report and stop it for breaking news. The post game talk by the basketball coach. What a joke.

!. Ellingson. 2. Wilson. 3. Shoen. I thought he played well. That headshot should have been challenged as it was helmet to helmet. No call. HH: Dru Brown

1 Kyrie Wilson - beast 2 Dru Brown or Dalton S (looks like he has some ability) 3. Greg Ellingson HH: the injury spotter

1. Kyrie 2. Brown 3. Kyrie HH to Rose for keeping the game close for entertainment purposes.

We find a way to win. Not pretty but I'll take it. Dru Brown Happy Honker Award.

Come back when the games over lol.

Yeah he's straight up and then tries to dive. The whole point of the wedge is to balance off the leverage of the OL and roll off that for a couple yards. Might want to run more of an option package for him if he's going to be our running QB.

Wow, that's one of the most vicious targeting hits I've seen in awhile.

Rose is being embarrassed.

Kyrie Wilson best Bomber tonight by a mile

Some adjustments will be needed in the locker room. Boys are playing way too soft.

Our kickers.... ****.

No holes. I mean he had 3 guys on him as he got the ball.

Bombers just look like a team that sat all their starters in pre-season games. They'll come around.

looks like Ellingson may the THE receiver this year.

Olivera sure runs hard.

Love that banner

Love O'shea beaking Hunter and then Bob Dyce while Lapo scurries away like a *****. I love that man.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Never going to forget how soaked I was that day. Fun times though. Lots of beer was consumed.
