Tonight is "Oh Canada Night" in the Lounge, there are 63 here watching the Jays game waiting for the BC/Winnipeg game.
Question going around right now is who is the under dog in the CFL game?
Hard to say. Both teams lost last week but I think BC might have the edge even though the Bombers are at home. So far they’ve only won 4 games in this stadium (opened in 2013 after a year’s delay) so “home field” doesn’t seem to be an advantage for them. Even the Ticats have won as many games in Winnipeg’s stadium as the Bombers!
One thing which is likely is that if Willy is injured and leaves the game. the team may well fall apart as they have twice already this season.
No problem. New DC in Winnipeg this season too so they may still be getting comfortable with the system - although that pick a few minutes ago was good.
As for Willy - not sure if you were able to watch the Hamilton/Winnipeg game (in Winnipeg) week 2 but after Willy left the game in the 2nd quarter with a suspected concussion, the whole team just seemed to fall apart and they lost 52-26. Same thing last week in Edmonton when he left in the 3rd I think - they lost 32-3. Score was 4-3 when Willy left the game!
I was wondering how much Lulay has actually played at IGF since he has missed all of last season and almost half of 2013 - unless they played there early in the 2013 season.
Yeah I too was noticing how many empty seats there appeared to be but considering the Bombers home winning record, maybe that’s not surprising. Plus it is a work day tomorrow for most.
Bombers seem to have gotten their D playing better.
BC killing themselves with turnovers and penalties. Almost changed my pick to Bombers to win when I saw that Willy was starting but decided to stick with BC. Maybe I should have switched to BBs! :? Leos O and Lulay haven't looked all that impressive outside of that first drive.
They have certainly failed to impress most of the time. THREE picks by Lulay too!
Well so much for all the people in CFL Pick Em who picked BC! (including me!) I think many assumed Willy wouldn’t be starting.
