Addison Richards Retires
Richards was taken 11th overall in the second round. Let's not act like he was a first overall draft pick and busted, plenty of second rounders don't do a single thing in the CFL.

We likely wouldn't have won without that call. So true.

3 stars + HH OTT edition
1. Maurice Leggett- the leader of the defense. Just a whole different story with him out there in the secondary. 7 tackles and 2 sacks in his first game back. 2. JFD- 6 catches for 73 yards. The most consistent Bomber reciever tonight. I love his game and how sure handed he is. 3. Roc Carmichael- Shut down the leading reciever in the league. Made him a non factor all night. That late TD by Ellingson was a zone player where Loffler was late on the play. HM: Medlock - for going 5/6 with some tough kicks in the rain, a huge kickoff for the single point to made it a 3 point game, and good directional kicking. Nichols- 319 yards passing, no turn overs, another fourth quarter come back.. 14-5 as a starter since coming in for Willy last season. Not always pretty but I have a lot of respect for the guy he comes up big when it matters.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa GDT
Then the rain came and both teams stopped moving the ball.

The good old bend and break defense never fails! 8-0 Ottawa. Offense is going to have to score 40 plus to win again I have a feeling.

Bombers @ Redblacks
This time a year ago, the Bombers offence was averaging 17.6 points per game, eighth in the CFL, in a 1-4 start. Through five games this year, they are averaging 31.4 points, first in the league. He has led the Bombers on more TD drives, 17, than any other quarterback in the CFL. Most importantly, the Bombers are 13-5 since he took control of the offence late last July. And given the revolving door at the position for so many seasons, that’s worth repeating again: 13 wins, 5 losses or a winning percentage of .722. Yet people still feel the need to complain. All he does is win and this season he leads the league in producing touchdowns on drives. I could care less about the two and outs when we're producing a higher number of touchdowns per drive because yeah yards are nice but touchdowns win you games.

Bombers @ Redblacks
I hope they show this in the locker room. I like Ottawa better then most but they're not a great team and that's total disrespect to the Bombers.

Bombers @ Redblacks
Denmark and Adams will have to step up, hope Thorpe and Lankford can continue on their good play from last game. Perfect opportunity to shine for these guys.

Some people strive on being miserable. It must hurt him so bad that we have a good football team.

It's weird you'd give up your season tickets after an 11-7 record which was our best record in 13 years.

Commissioner gets it right
I feel like two challenges was good. The referring is so inconsistent we pretty much need two. I would have scraped challenging PI all together though.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Ha! That's rich coming drom Duron. You sneeze on a reciever and it gets called PI not to mention they rarely if ever call offensive PI even though the receivers are instigating contact on the defender nearly as frequently as the defensive player.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
I really hope Duron Carter is open in the end zone and tries to catch it from behind the back and drops it and costs the Riders a chance at winning the game. That would be poetic justice.

Why can't he shut his mouth and play football? Yeah he played well last week but it was his first time all season doing anything. Just play the game. I'm so tired of hearing this guy speak.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
Some of them were backed up so far they were behind the QB
-
Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
The fact that we have stability at the QB position means we can develop Davis properly. I'm glad he hasn't seen much real game time because we've had some good QB prospects in the past that were either rushed into action or had a terrible terrible offensive line behind them. Hopefully in a year or two Davis will be a starting QB in this league.
-
Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
These aren't your uncles Bombers! I actually feel confident The Fever, and Davis could hold their own if Nichols got hurt.
-
Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
Didn't you hear though? We have a terrible offense and Nichols is a scrub. Averaging close to 35 points a game just won't cut it in the CFL
-
Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
I've always been higher on him then most but I think he's borderline elite.
-
Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
They've lost 4 games by 10 points. Their offense is really good. Harris is a great QB. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired though. I think we should be able to move the ball on them. Can't take them lightly because of their record.. They could still bear anybody.

Game day thread: Montreal here
Bombers also averaging 33.8 points on offense. Good for second in the league. Even better then BC and EDM two teams no one will stop talking about.
- IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Former Blue Bomber players
I agree. The lone player left from the Ottawa Renegade that folded 12 years ago. Seems like forever ago!
-
Game day thread: Montreal here
True but then the next series we let them run the ball down our throats all the way down the field for a touch down. We need to be better on defense if we're going to keep up with EDM/BC/CAL our offense shouldn't and can't be expected to score over 40 points every game to win.

What does your dad do?...
Yeah Duron Carter can play but acting like a ****** bag after every single catch gets tiresome. You see a professional like SJ Green make incredible catches time and time again and he just goes about his business and plays football. Huge contrast. I know who id rather have on my team.
