Considering Pierce is the QB coach, they both have playing styles that are very similar styles to ol' Bucky.

That awkward moment when your wide receiver (Darvin Adams) has as many TD passes as their starting QB.

I understand everyone is on a high here with the win but....when did a football team last win with Drew Willy as their starting QB?

Riders- Blacks Thursday
They are obviously following the unwritten CFL rule/gentleman's agreement from the other 8 teams... given the opportunity, crush the 'Riders by as many points as possible.

No amount of smuggled pot cookies from Duron Carters' luggage will mask the stink of this game.

I am holding out hope that the powers that be are just trying to shake things up and give some fresh meat a chance returning kicks.

Wait wait wait...this is the same Montreal team so desperate to sell tickets they are currently offering discounted tickets ($10) for fans to attend just the fourth quarter? https://en.montrealalouettes.com/q4-tickets/

Right - still not good enough though in my opinion.

I think the bigger concern with the defense is the fact they had 0 turnovers in the game. At least last year we were giving up chunks of yards whilst getting turnovers....

Touché.

Bombers Post $5.1M Operating Profit in 2017
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the problem with this solution be that the incoming landlord could hypothetically charge pretty much whatever they want? I mean from the perspective of the Bombers, at that point their only alternative would be to build a new stadium. Wouldn't doing this effectively be giving the new landlord a monopoly on professional football?

Bombers Post $5.1M Operating Profit in 2017
Very good points - not to completely derail this topic, but interestingly enough it appears the litigation by Triple B against RAYMOND S.C. WAN ARCHITECT INC is still ongoing. For anyone else looking for dirt on Triple B (or anyone else for that matter) the Manitoba Court Registry offers a free, publicly accessible search engine that lets you search by name for any court proceedings. It doesn't provide a whole lot of detail, but you can at the very least see where a litigation stands, and if it is still pending. It can be found here: http://www.jus.gov.mb.ca/

Bombers Post $5.1M Operating Profit in 2017
I don't think anyone would disagree that the stadium fiasco has cost the Bombers, however the idea of the Province forgiving the debt just so the Bombers can be back in the black is just silly. They've managed to carry the debt thus far without issue, so I don't see why they'd need a helping hand to begin with. Even if they were in trouble financially, the crusade the Pallister government is currently on is to eliminate debt for the Province - not create more of it.

I know its not a popular opinion, but I'd be fine if the Province just paid off my mortgage and gave me a pass. I'd be a very wealthy citizen if that was the case, I suppose it doesn't matter since I don't have to be profitable, as long as I'm breaking even, paying my bills and being a solid citizen.

Bomber Moves 2018
I think it's actually "Signer em et le comprendre plus ****!" If at your job you received say, 3 months salary from your employer then were let go and you worked in a very competitive field, would you be in a hurry to go out and take the first job offer you could find? It's the off-season, I know we're all impatient, but for all we know maybe Muamba is simply doing some soul-searching before putting ink to paper.
