Big gain up the middle again. (sigh).

Doesn't everyone who's anyone?

He actually touched Patterson. That's a BIG no-no.

in case you haven't been paying attention, O'Shea does NOT change his M.O. unless death is imminent, and maybe not even then.

Apart from Sergio's stellar kicking, no other part of the Bombers' game looks all that good.

Truth be told, the Riders have looked the better team so far.

he's French, so its OK.

Again. Its all affection.

Neither do his receivers.

followed by a clinic in how to ignore flagrant holding,

And now, a clinic in how not to tackle.

Am disappointed that we have fielded essentially the same team that was barely good enough last week.

We're getting killed in the kicking differntial.

Garbutt being welcomed warmly by the Risers' O-line with long hugs. He must feel special.

Damn. Woli shoulda had that one.

No question that the Riders will come at Collaros with pressure and blitzes- they know all about the weaknesses in the Bomber O-line and how poorly Collaros played when his o-line protection was theoretical and not actual. If Biggie trots out onto the field, the Rider running backs will be smacking their lips. Along that same line, Patterson will be in trouble if he has to rely on his passing game. So, it all comes down to two players in the middle- Kolankowski and Bighill.

"Old age and treachery will win out over youth and enthusiam every time"

There has been so much chaos and incompetence on defence that it has to be often difficult to assess how well the good players are playing. It seems to me that on defence team cohesion and execution is more critical than on offence.

Nope.

It's "relaxed muscle".

At least now Yoshi has a good reason to get out of Regina.

The deficiencies in the play of Bighill, Thomas and Alexander are so obvious that their continued presence is puzzling and infuriating.

With a poor centre and right tackle, he soon will be.

We need to pray that these two wins do not convince Walters and Co. that all is well and no upgrades are needed.

Bonus: it appears we have two CFL-grade quarterbacks again.
