First, having Flanders back could not have come at a better time. Having our two headed monster helping out Nichols in snowy conditions is ideal.

But has anyone heard anything about the status of Bond & Hardrick? It's going to be critical that we have those two back - playing smash mouth in the cold

I hope they start 4 import DL even when we're back to 3 import DL - this needs to be a thing

Gossen, Chungh, Harris, Feoli - Gudino, Hurl, Loffler - and then Coates & Co. They still use Wild whenever Thomas or Corney are on.

I'm not convinced that we won't see Darvin back.

What a shot in the arm that would be!

It would be so nice in the future if they could play 3 Canadians on the line. Hopefully Gray makes his way up here eventually.

Hardrick is fine...was his usual self out there.. he would need to be minus a limb to not be playing

Unless I missed something I'm pretty sure Hardrick played all game yesterday... and played well...

Having Adams back would be huge. Yes, it was a big loss losing Leggett but Fogg has filled in nicely at SAM.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that, from a few feet away, he had a noticeable limp last night at the end of the game. Having said that, Booch is dead on.... He'd have to be missing a limb. 

Also agree that I'm not convinced Adams is done. It might take getting to the big game, but we might see him yet... 

Wasn't there rumours that Westerman may be able to make it back in the playoffs? Although apparently he had surgery? Maybe I shouldn't bring the subject up, I'll be put on the CSIS watchlist for questioning this state secret.

That was just fake surgery, Westerman will be there to kick Eskie-Rider ass.

well at the time Westerman was 6-gamed, Osh said they were hopeful he would be back for the playoffs but not certain

If we can get any one player back I’d like it to be Darvin, but Westerman would be a huge boon as well. 

I see a few people are speculating on Darvin, has anyone heard any updates?

He did come out in the 4th or maybe late 3rd and did not return. Couture went in at guard, newfie slid over to tackle. 

The way Opo..The Coat and the big boys in the middle when all together played and are playing I don't think we need to tinker with that. If they can duplicate that over next couple games were gold..let Westerman heal.

Looked like he was hurting, especially towards the ends of the game.

Should have played Foketi and given him some game reps. if Hardrick wasn't 100% going in.

Foketi was a healthy scratch.

Idk what OL could stand up to our full DL rotation. Nevis and poop in the middle are a force of nature. pogo n coat get mugged constantly and still make plays and force pressure. 

I think westy and mo have no shot of coming back this year. Of course im not a dr, or any thing just my 2c. Darvin i think would be a hail marry to come back.

Then he went away.

Trust me, Hardrick isn't healthy. He was limping badly. Will he be healthy enough to go next Sunday? I have zero doubts.

Yeah, that was my take as well. He looked like a hurting unit out there and especially at the bench. Tough as nails though.

They may have to keep Neufeld in the lineup in order to dress all four Import D-Linemen, which is a must.  I expect Bond to return so perhaps they sit Hardrick this game.

Neufeld   has been playing  well. 

Walby and others think so anyway. 

Got to keep Nevis/Poop in, it's the key to the wins coming up for the Bombers. 

Corney and Okpa's remarkable speed, and santos knox speed/smart play/effort , hopefully will keep reilly from escaping outside. 

I also think that in the next few games Prof.  Paul  is going to spring some things that he's been keeping back.
