To me it looked like Brady Aliviera (SP?) was a clone of Andrew Harris.  Running and after run celebrations.

 

The team picked up where they left off in 2019, and can only get better. The highlights for me: Collaros taking hits and still not being afraid to sprint out; Oliviera pounding the ball just like you-know-who and not being tentative despite his severe injury in 2019; the swarming Bomber defence; Demski stepping up; and lastly: to those TiCat fans who said that the Grey Cup outcome would have been different if Masoli had been able to play- that excuse is completely gone now.  The only real questions for the team are what to do when Harris is available and whether McGuire is as good as hoped. GREAT to see the CFL again and even better to see the Bombers not only win, but kick butt.

Good times!

There was a solo drone hovering outside of the south endzone but I'm guessing it was someone from outside the game just trying to get some neat video.

Yeah, I saw one hovering above the West side, in the first half.  Likely the same one you saw, and I had the same thought.

Waited in line too long but figured that was bc of the pregame deals. Not too bad afterward and bathrooms easy after game started. They did a tremendous job with parking and crowd control upon entry and exit. Fun time.

It's a tsn drone apparently new for this year 

how long before the CFL will deal a drone-gate (spy-gate) ?

I also noticed it. Assumed it was the Province's, trying to catch people dancing.

I think it was used for showing above the stadium shots. Pretty sure it's a TSN drone

They used it a few times during the broadcast... it kind of was neat I guess?

Did it replace the xfl 1.0 invented cam that was on bungee cords almost above the stadium. Didn't notice that one last night. Drone likely replaced it  

I'd love other people's take on Alford. Seemed like Acklin did well against him (although at least two of those catches were tough) but that he was in the correct position. Feel like its an experience thing and that he's going to end up being good but would love others take.

Guess the Cats won't be undefeated in 2021................I wish some of these media types who gobble up that crap really look at the Bombers properly and give us the credit due....Someone should take that little wiener/whiner Banks aside and remind him that he's getting beaten by a superior club and man-up

A bit uneasy at first. Seemed to get better but I will have to watch the replay. They definitely targeted him.

Oh and forgot to say this, a big Ha Ha to Nye for his first game prediction.

I saw a helicopter at one point too, so I figured that's what they were using for those outside the stadium shots.  Good stuff either way.

I made the horrible mistake of visiting Riderfans....  noticed how dead those forums are and how disillusioned they appear to be.   They are so very salty about the Bombers looking good last night! 

Rocquemore, Sayles, Alford, Nichols and Noah Hallett (who filled in at Safety in the 2nd half) all passed the first game.

Yeah i thought Alford had a good game despite Acklin making some catches on him. He was on Acklin like glue for the most part. Acklin just made some really nice catches.

Rod Black does pbp like he's talking to someone in his back yard - beer in hand - and not even watching the game.

Atrocious.

Yeah the panel was all giddy after he was beat on the first td but christ his fingers touched that ball, one step away from it being an INT. The secondary with as many new faces as it had played pretty ******* good if you ask me.

Alford's coverage on that TD was almost perfect... unfortunately the throw was perfecter (definitely a word)... 5 mins into the game and that was the last highlight for the Cats
