August 3, 20231 yr comment_649565 All I hope for is a much better performance by the Blue this game. 20-16 Bombers.

August 3, 20231 yr comment_649592 Keeping Zach Collaros clean is key tonight. Lions sacked him 7 times in the prior game. You can BETT they'll be coming after him again. A couple of times Betts was past Yoshi and on ZC before Hardrick got out of his stance. But the whole O line looked old, slow, and basically shell-shocked. Hence the adjustment to add extra blocking help at the FB position. Look for Lions O to pick on Winston Rose - hopefully he's the all-star we want him to be. Missing Janarion Grant and Mike Miller on Special Teams. Kyrie Wilson back is huge. It'll be a tight win ... Bombers by 4 points! Go Blue!!!
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649593 Like every game, I expect a victory. I don’t care by how much just ducking win.

Bombers by 4 points! Go Blue!!! not sure why people think the waste of a DA on Jackson was a tweak and an adjustment to combat the BC pressure....he was in that exact same roster spot for that game....and hamstringing yourself by removing a playmaker for a full back, when a scheme and game plan tweak is all that was/is needed is beyond dumb....It was a bad game plan...an anomaly of a freak off performance by the Bombers...and the guys were content being at home all fat and sassy figuring they just needed to show up, and everything would get taken care of like it has been for last 2+ yrs.....and they were wrong and got punched right in the pie hole for it....when a hungry BC team came in and balled out....Now is the point where we punch back and re-establish who's the boss in the West...or we turtle and cower and concede things....I see the punch back coming...likely a K.O Edited August 3, 20231 yr by Booch
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649609 As @Boochsaid Jackson coming in just takes a playmaker out. A poster on another site had Jackson in for 11 out of 56 offensive plays against Edmonton. I'll say it again a waste of a spot for a guy to play 20% of your offensive snaps as an extra blocker and on teams.

August 3, 20231 yr comment_649621 We come out firing this game, we'll be a much different team with film review, new bodies and a big home crowd. Part 2 will belong to us, 29-11 Bombers. Edited August 3, 20231 yr by Nolby
August 3, 20231 yr Author comment_649624 Just walked past the stadium and visited the store. Getting very excited for tonight! This has to be the first time since 2019 that I am going to a game and I am not convinced the Bombers will win it. So, they better make those Lions cry!
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649630 I just hope we come out ready to play .. a series of two and outs right out of the gate is going to take our crowd out of it quick (especially after the last few home games). If we do get up on the Lions early, let's bury them. Punch them in the mouth and then keep swinging. To hell with this nonsense of not running up the score and playing conservatively with the lead - we don't have the horses for it. I want to see guys winning one on one battles. I want to see our offensively line play with a little nastiness and pride. I want our playmakers (on offense and defense) making plays. I want to see clean play and execution right from the opening snap. I want to see the mentally weak Evans collapse under pressure.
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649631 Bombers win Lawler td catch. Wilson return.... inspirational d line .... untired, relentless, unstoppable unblockable. evans ..... throws picks. whines. post game headline : "Booch nails it, , as Bryant humbles Betts" disgruntled mbb fans... placated. ok maybe asking too much. yesssssssss!

August 3, 20231 yr comment_649632 Game in and game out, this season I have very little confidence... we just aren't the same team we once were. But there's always hope. If Zach gets enough time to work, he'll dice them up... but I have very little confidence in the Bombers ability to protect him right now. Hoping tonight, following a bye week, will be the start of something new....

I have the same worries about the OL and the lack of DL depth.
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649635 Let’s not forget the other change the Bombers are making tonight. League’s best unit’s witness the true royal blue and gold pants. Almost a guaranteed win right there…
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649636 After tonight's Blue Bomber victory, I foresee BC receding in the standings faster than Dane Evans hair line....
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649637 Hoping for strong game planning and play calling from our coordinators. No stubborn square peg/round hole brain cramps in front of an amped up but nervous home crowd please.
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649640 We'll need to play the best game we've played so far this year to beat BC.
August 3, 20231 yr comment_649642 We have seen good Evans and bad Evans. Let’s hope it’s a bad Evans kinda night. Two great defences going at it. I’d expect a pretty low scoring game. Limit sacks/turnovers and we should win this. 13-10 Bombers.
