Anyone can beat anyone in a one game takes all. But even with Rourke in the lineup we've outscored the Lions by something like 35 points. We're at home in a "cold" weather game. I like our chances

They still managed to run for a near 6 yard average. They didn't run the ball. Idiots.

Calgary showed up to lose. Only their linebackers have done anything

I think the moves are fair quite honestly. You have a shitty o line. You fire the guys that are supposed to be coaching them, you bring back your best one or two guys, and then you try your hardest to persuade some top olinemen on other teams to go over ($). The one guy that is getting out of this scott free is O'Day as he has been in charge in all this time their o-line has gotten worse

I'm fairly confident that Calgary will beat BC. Hope. I'm wrong

Add that to the laundry list of other industries that are exactly the same way. They'll make us pay for shittier and shittier things and services and charge as much as the market will bear.

You mean Caleb Evans, the guy that owns the record for most running touchdowns in a season by a QB?

I think Sask is a different situation because they've been close to contenders and they're regressing. Ottawa hasn't been able to scrape themselves off the bottom just like we had to. I agree with him that Ottawa needs stability. But they also need the right coach. Lapo talking about it was cringe and sour grapes.

Really liked the element of physicality that Ford and Parker brought last night. Parker is a lock IMO. Whether he plays corner or half, he will be starting.

Wonder who is going to start at DB for us in the Western Final. What an embarrassment of riches all of a sudden

Calgary also winners tonight after we tenderised the Lions for them.

Make no mistake. The majority of non-playoff team cfl fans and commentators want Nathan Rourke and the BC Lions to win this year's Grey Cup. But the Bombers know what it takes to win it and are the better team.

Warm up for the playoffs. Let's go Blue!

My bad. I thought it was more of an internal thing

Agreed. I think the Bombers missed an opportunity to give recognition to a position that frequently goes unheralded. Legs has gone out there this year and done everything asked of him. Not perfect but what other position calls for it?

Haven't really seen any hotel availability for that weekend. Airbnb is from 400 dollars a night upward

Have some interest in going but mainstream websites do not have great rates for accommodations if any available at all. Since the Riders are officially out I'm wondering if there were some fans traveling from away that don't want their hotel rooms anymore. Does anyone know where we could look or ask? Would be best if we could buy the tickets with accommodations

Lauther.. Good east coast boy that got caught up in the wrong crowd

I'm not convinced Vernon Adams is much better than Fajardo at this point

He can and he most likely will. Mason Fine hasn't done **** all year and hasn't shown me anything that would lead me to believe he will come in and beat Calgary. Fajardo isn't good but Fine will be worse. Unless Dickie got this suggestion from management he is basically saying he doesn't want to be head coach of the Riders next year.

Our run defense was also worse than usual. I love BA but I don't think he should be trying to kill RBs the same way he kills receivers. They are a lot shifter. Cost us a lot of yards this game. One more lament about letting Steven Richardson go. Our defense is generally built around playing linebackers in coverage as much as possible. Important to not let running backs get through the line or its basically a first down.

Didn't you know we only had 4 starters out and otherwise it was the same team

Also have to give credit to Dru Brown. If he has our full offense (o line, Brady) for a full game then we probably win. He was far from perfect, obviously. But watching film and making throws when the bullets are flying is a huge difference. He only gets better with playing time.

DBs were pretty darn good tonight I'd say. They tried going after Lawrence a lot and he made his share of plays. Not bad for his first game with us
