This Week: The Blue bombers have a chance to start their season 2-0 for the first time in several years when they host Ottawa. The expansion Red Blacks are led by Henry Burris, a quarterback with 17 years of NFL and CFL experience. Last season Burris had an amazing year but he was released by Hamilton in favor of a younger Zach Collaros. Ottawa, who was reportedly looking at Willy in the expansion draft, snatched up Burris. Expectation: I have been told that It's rare in the CFL to see a team put up 40+ points in two straight games and Ottawa did not look like an expansion team during the preseason. The RedBlacks have an experienced roster that won't play like a new team. Willy and the Bombers will still prevail but in a much narrow fashion: Winnipeg 31 - Ottawa 17
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62724 The last time the Bomber started 2-0 was in 2011. They also went 0-2 in the pre season that year and made the Grey Cup....... #justsayin
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62726 Bombers 300 Ottawa 4 That will be the score, but only if Willy plays the whole first half in a lazy-boy recliner. http://www.wannafork.com/humor_video_play.php?ID=307
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62729 Interesting side note... from an article in the freep.... how do you prepare for a team that's never played before.... I think it will be a close game
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62733 I look at it the other way. How do you prepare AS a team who has never played before? Bombers by 20.
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62736 A team playing its first game worries me, because I expect them to come out as fired up as they'll be all year. That said, I love how prepared and disciplined O'Shea's Bombers were last week. I don't think O'Shea is the type that tolerates complacency, and expect a really high compete level out of Winnipeg. Think it'll be higher scoring because I don't think Ottawa's going to be able to play great defence with their poor NI situation. Bombers 36 - Roughrenegblacks 27

July 2, 201411 yr comment_62821 Bombers 300 Ottawa 4 Wahoo wahoo wahoo wahoo............you really think the Bomber will only score 300? I think you're a little low.
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62825 I want the Bombers to be a part of the new chapter of the Ottawa franchise history. But I want it on a positive note (win) for the Bombers.
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62828 Wahoo wahoo wahoo wahoo............you really think the Bomber will only score 300? I think you're a little low. well we are going to be denied at least three TD's due to the fact Bryant Turner won't be there forcing fumbles in the end zone. I still say that Willy should play the first half in a lazy-boy, or at least be forced to throw left-handed.
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62892 Ottawa will be competitive tomorrow because they've got a good QB, and I actually expect their defense to look a little better than Toronto's. I would be surprised if this was an easy victory. Then again, I don't mean to brag, but the Bombers are 1-0 when I'm in attendance this year so maybe I just have that effect...
July 2, 201411 yr comment_62897 Winnipeg 128 Ottawa -14 Mike O'Shea Bryant Turner will find a way. Fixed

The Bombers are 1-0 this year when I am falling down drunk so I guess I'll have to take one for the team and do it again...sigh...

Now, if only the Bombers would agree to help you with the morning after.....
