Posted September 10, 20177 yr comment_290118 After our second bye week we play the softest part of our schedule: Ottawa Friday the 22nd Edmonton Saturday the 30th (there) Hamilton Friday Oct 6 this is where we can build confidence and momentum Edmonton will play Toronto, Winnipeg & Montreal BC will play Calgary, Hamilton & Ottawa Calgary has BC, Regina, Montreal & Hamilton That all looks quite balanced,no real schedule quarks So in the near term we are going to make our own destiny that will set the stage for the end of thes season when we finish with BC, Toronto, BC again and Calgary for the last I am excited going into the bye ..... relaxation comes later
September 10, 20177 yr comment_290120 Ottawa won't be easy, and Edmonton is still tough at home. Would never count Hamilton out either as they have a little momentum winning two and a row. As per usual we'll have to bring our A game if we're going to come out with wins. No game is an easy win on the schedule but I'm confident we'll be able to atleast take two out of three which would leave us in a good position at 10-4.

Most likely, we will be facing Drew Tate next game. Quote The loss wasn’t the only blow for the REDBLACKS, who could be without franchise quarterback Trevor Harris for at least the next little while. Harris, who exited the game in the third quarter with an apparent injury to his throwing shoulder, was later spotted with his arm in a sling. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2418/hamilton-tiger-cats-vs-ottawa-redblacks/ Edited September 10, 20177 yr by M.O.A.B.

I can't see the RedBlacks or the Ti-Cats being too much of a threat at IGF in the coming weeks. No doubt the Bombers will have to be at their best but home field is proving advantageous for them these days.

With how the Bombers are playing these days, I dont see any reason why IGF wont draw a huge crowd. I get that weather will have some say but... we're Winterpegers.

September 10, 20177 yr comment_290126 The Edmonton game will be tougher than scrapping with a wild cat fighting for it's life, especially after this string of losses. They'll have a lot of their starters back by then and the Bombers will have to play their absolute best to beat them in their house.

The way Reilly got laid out last game, he ought to be seeing and hearing birdies for a while. I couldn't believe he was able or allowed to go back into the game, and that impact has to have a long-term effect on him.

The amazing thing is that there was no flag on the play, it sure looked like a direct helmet hit.
September 10, 20177 yr comment_290138 Edmonton, when healthy, is arguably better than Calgary. The question is when, and if, they'll ever be healthy. If they're even close to it on Sept 30, it'll be our toughest game by far since the Calgary game...
September 10, 20177 yr comment_290144 Id say that we just had our weakest stretch. The next 3 are more mid level. Im worried what harris might put up against our D.

Trevor Harris...? The same Trevor Harris who put up just 263 yards when the Bombers played the RedBlacks in Ottawa in early August?

Quote The Trevor Harris whose arm is in a sling? another terrible hit, a giant guy just flattened him. a lesser person would have been squished, and possibly killed. all three games had serious hitting. three entertaining games out of three.

The same one who tied calgary. We beat them by 3 points with out harris lighting us up. Sask was tearing up our D, harris and the RBs are much much more dangerous an offense then the crieders.

September 11, 20177 yr comment_290171 The thing with Edmonton the guys they need back are done for the season

While some of this matters....in football it mostly doesnt. Any given sunday, is a saying for a reason. Some teams just match up better than others, wpg vs mtl...or cgy vs ottawa for example. Wpg beat mtl....and ott always takes the most of cgy. But ottawa lost to Ham, and cgy lost to Mtl. Both teams bombers have beaten. Saying "this team beat this team so they should be worried" doesnt really apply in football...espcially in the CFL.

The same Trevor Harris who couldn't do much against a visiting Bombers team... Gotcha.
September 11, 20177 yr comment_290232 I hope Harris is their QB when they face us because I am confident he can't beat us with his left arm.
September 11, 20177 yr comment_290281 Harris out for a while: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/09/09/trevor-harris-exits-game-apparent-shoulder-injury/ Quote The good news for REDBLACKS fans is that the injury is not season-ending however he could miss multiple games head coach Rick Campbell told TSN1200 Monday morning. In the radio interview, Campbell confirmed that Harris had sustained a “bruising” of the shoulder and he would be out for “weeks”.
September 11, 20177 yr comment_290303 So how did Tate look in relief the other night? He's no slouch either...

September 11, 20177 yr comment_290314 The TD pass was a beautiful throw and he had another good throw dropped by the receiver. Not bad for a guy who has hardly played in the last few years.
