I would disagree that it has been "non-existent"... it hasn't excelled yet but the stats through three weeks show (subtracting QB stats since they're just short yardage plunges and scrambles): Week 1: 14 carries for 40 yards (by far the worst) Week 2: 23 carries for 112 yards Week 3: 19 carries for 83 yards that's a 4.2 yards per carry average (with 2 one yard TDs)... I agree that's not amazing and I would also like to see improvement in the run game... but people acting like the run game is a completely non-existent is a bit of an over exaggeration.

Watching Taylor's reaction is chilling... he knows he's just ruined someone's career, or worse... and you can tell he feels terrible about it.

I think you're mixing and matching posters to make it seem like everyone is a little dyslexic... Most agreed Rose appears to be playing through an injury (evidenced by him being in a walking boot after suffering an injury in practice)... Only one or two people were adamant Thompson was a major problem... Only one person is saying Rose was bad last year... and that person is known to try and stir pot I agree, let's hope Rose sits until he's 100%... better he sits out a few games in June/July than play on a nagging injury in Oct/Nov.

If there was ever a player who should be wearing #00… it’s O’Leary-Orange

It’s kind of getting beyond parody at this point…. I could understand if he was Canadian and you desperately needed to fill that spot for the ratio… but how do you not have any other capable db on the roster that can play there?… I’m not sure who’s worse, the idiot coach that thinks he the smartest guy in the room… or the dumbass GM who hasn’t brought in any viable players for the coach…

I thought this was a joke... nope, that's actually what Evan Holm looks like... I guess a DB that looks like a kicker should have lots to prove 😁

high quality quote.... (see below)

you're trying to tell me a person can get from Germany to Canada in 8 hours... I won't hear of this sorcery!

If Rose is hurt, this is a good time to let someone else show what they've got... I thought Houston was decent in spot duty last year... let's see what he can do in a full game and then the team will know what they have

This is so true... the general sentiment around here is "these guys know how to get it done when it matters" and because of that, we're all pretty calm... if we were sitting on a GC drought... I can only imagine how critical everyone would be about two sloppy wins

Sounds like Hansen is at practice this morning.... I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume he's been in Winnipeg for quite some time...

Don’t forget the most important part… Collaros and the BB, 2 Ws… Masoli and the RBs, 2 Ls This is a perfect statement… our guys expect to win and go out and make plays when it matter most

watching this replay just makes me cringe... especially the juxtaposition of Suitor wondering aloud about Collaros having a "comeback" season followed by the clip of that hit... normally we're pretty anti-Riders around here, no matter the circumstances... but I remember everyone here agreeing what an absolutely horrible hit that was that should've seen Lawrence ejected and suspended for multiple games... Best part about it is Zach got his revenge against Lawrence... and wearing the right colours 😁

I'm playing catch up... missed week 1... hope that's allowed... I see there were a few 1s and 2s in the correct column so I have a chance

nothing in the history or future of the Bombers will ever be as bad as those camo jerseys... I don't love the new ones but they are nowhere near as bad as the camo

I'll take #19 (plays the same position) from the back-to-back champs any day over that dirtbag.

didn't see the play... I just heard Fajardo took a dirty shot... why am I not the slightly bit surprised he took the hit from Lawrence??

ooohhhhh... the game is against Hamilton... that actually does make way more sense... I thought it was odd and kinda random to have a whiteout game... it all adds up now

I'm pretty sure Brodie Lawson was an employee of the CFL... not TSN... she was laid off during the pandemic season... in theory, TSN could hire her (for the first time)

In fairness, when he says "one of the best of all time" that doesn't necessarily mean "the best" or top two... I would argue top ten all-time would be considered "one of the best ever".... I don't know enough about O-linemen to know who exactly would be considered top 10 of all time but maybe Van Zyl is in that conversation?

Just watched the highlights from the Elks/Lions games…. I have a suggestion for Chris Jones… maybe try starting defensive players that know how to tackle?

Don’t hold your breathe on BA… isn’t he supposed to be out at least the first half of the season?

I’m pretty sure they changed that rule a few years ago… a qb can give himself up any way, not just a feet first slide… that said, I don’t think that play was an intentional target and I agreed with the non-call… he slid late and the defenders were already engaged in making a tackle… I also am happy the injury spotter pulled him for safety (easier to say that after Brown came in and finished off the job 😄)

So I guess Dru Brown is "officially" the back up

all six of those victories came against Hamilton...
