As he should be... 

No one can doubt the talented threats we've gathered on offense. 

Preseason and all that, but a rider loss is always amazing.

Whether it means anything or not, Nichols had the weakest performance of any of the QBs. Whitehead saved his day. 

Can’t forget he was against their starting D as well. The others were not.

Absolutely. But he was missing open guys. Saying it was against the starting D is justifying some truly terrible throws. 

I appreciated the stream, even if it was a bit shaky.    Big props to the guy that gave us a chance to watch the game, and a big raspberry to the Riders for not offering a proper stream.  So glad the Bombers pulled off the win.   So happy that many players stood up and made it tough on the coaches.

I hear Thiadric Hansen's name more than I expected for the global fella spot. A good sign.

That guy should get a nickname

Equally unreal throw by Bennett.

fifty two yards, just flicked it. I did not realize how strong his arm is.

Please get that guy off special teams.

Boy, what a mistake for TSN not to have covered that Bomber-Rider game last night.

And a loss for the CFL for all the potential viewers missed..

Kenny Walker may have been on the bubble before last night’s game, but after that 86 yard TD, he may have 86’d that thought..

Well there is definitely a clear difference between Bomber and Rider fans when it comes to their sheer unbridled optimism. Head over to Riderfans and it seems they are pretty happy how the pre-season is going for them.  There would definitely be a split over here of "well maybe it's not so bad" and "the sky is falling" if our team lost both pre-season games, losing one at home to the other team's backups.

find it interesting that the Sask media thinks their offence will be fine and that Collaros looks like the real deal after that performance, against a group of guys who largely will be cuts and PR guys..that false sense of calm and happiness will turn into dire reality in Hamilton...I don't see it and when that Ol-ine couldnt keep our D-line at bay from pressure with all our subs...imagine when the starters are in there with Biggie

Powell is a great add for them. But Roosevelt and Powell does not an entire offense make.  They better hope Arceneaux still has it.

Bombers were getting pressure with their B team Dline. Might be a different story once Collaros is running for his life.

Uh-Oh-Line

Did the bombers take any starters from the front 7 last night? And no starting  defensive halfback.... yeah I wouldn't read too much into collaros night. And I saw them hyping up harker too... oh my, after doing ok against a PR squad at best... pump the breaks fellas, pump the  breaks. 

Bryant and Fenner were only guys who will have starter reps and had any signficant playing time before...so the optimism there should be tempered...but false sense of security is a good thing hahaha
