Yeah. I saw that right away. If that call gets made correctly, game likely ends differently.

We got lots of speed on offense. What we need is a big tall receiver who can go up and make the catch... oh, nevermind

That's a good idea. It's pretty easy to confuse Rider fans anyways.

Moose Jaw's 45 minutes from Regina. The Spa hotel is pretty nice. They got mineral water piped in there

Anybody know if the Bombers still stay at the SPA in Moose Jaw...or in Regina? Milt was on the radio in SK yesterday talking about the days the Bombers stayed in Regina and some stupid Rider fans woke up Milt and Khari at 3 a.m. and they never got back to sleep and the Bombers got blown out so coach Ritchie said "No more of that. We're going to Moose Jaw from now on."

(and then is signed by them) heh heh

Santiago must feel pretty bummed out. No Way he's ever going to get onto this roster.

You can marry them... ...just don't send them $

Yes, I do too! That's why I want the guy around for many more years!!

Quite possible. I've already heard from reporters in Saskatchewan, Calgary, and Toronto who say they likely won't vote for Harris.

I'm nervous for the game. Everything's against us. We should lose by 40... ...but if we can make some big plays - returns, sacks (Fajardo meet Mr. Jefferson), picks, or even some big runs by the Strevelator...we might just do it.

I'd swear that guy has gotten bigger the last few years. If he isn't careful he'll be a heart-attack waiting to happen.

It's sort of the chicken and egg argument again buddy. He had terrible talent to deal with. If he had great talent, who knows what could have happened. Maybe he was a bad head coach. I don't know. But when you have a great QB and lots of talent you can make even a bad coach look decent. (Heh, even I could have coached the Gretzky-led Edmonton Oilers to multiple Stanley Cups)

Agreed. And we would have cut him too!

Adams is needed on this team. But even before his injury he wasn't in the top 10 in receiving in the league.

Well, as others have said, the way our offense is structured NO offensive player is going to be a big production player in this offense (except Andrew Harris). Rightly or wrongly, it is what it is.

I wouldn't be surprised if he signs with Calgary again...and lights it up against us again.

Yeah, it goes back even further than that. I was so confident the year the Riders started their 3RD STRING QB Rocky Butler who was probably a worse passer than Streveler...and we get beat. We also lost in 1990, 1988, and 1984, years we won the Grey Cup.

That's just stupid! Sorry, I know practice breaks are planned ahead of time, but really! The new RB needs time with Streveler and what? they practice Wednesday and Thursday? Maybe Friday or is that a walk-thru day? Travel Saturday I assume..

Any word from practice on who is getting the majority of reps with the 1st team offense - Augustine or Santiago? Is Santiago even practicing with the 1st team? I can't find anything from Irving or Bauming...

Anyone know what the attendance was for the game vs. what the park holds?

Yes even though Streveler is not a top rated passer, I think the Riders might underestimate his running. The Esks knew he was going to run and they still couldn't stop him.

Ah Labour Day! living in SK is bad enough for a Bomber fan like me the rest of the year, but this weekend ( and next) it gets amped up to a whole new level. The media around here (Regina, Saskatoon) have been relentless in minimizing the Bombers accomplishments and telling us how great the Riders are (5 game win streak). I've heard numerous times that Streveler is no threat and that the Riders will sweep the series. Please Bombers, please, please win. I don't care if it's 3-2. Just win.

Yes, a crossover spot is all but a sure thing again.

I tend to agree with this comment. I've always thought the best places for expansion would be Quebec City or Saskatoon. I hope it works in Atlantic Canada...but I have my doubts.
