Congratulations Blue Bombers fans

Bombers crushed the Esk’s in Edm, so cross that off the list. Stamps are crushing everybody and BC is good but not unbeatable by any stretch !

They beat the Esks last month with Reilly at the helm. Right now, it’s safe to say the Bombers are a better team than the Esks.

Esks and Bombers have a rubber game in Winnipeg.

Esks will win that as their D is getting better with each game.

Besides, I said if the Bombs win 2 of the 4 games I mentioned, then I will buy in.

I had high hopes for the Esks D this year, including this game. Thought they would win. The Esks D completely collapsed in the second half and overtime failing to stop Mitchell even once in extra time.

Outside of Quartback, admittedly the most important position, and 2 receivers, the Bombers are the better team. Better o-line, better Canadian depth, better running back (especially if those injuries keep White out), better special teams, better secondary, better linebackers, better depth receivers, better overall depth. I don’t think Reilly can compensate for those differences in talent especially being on the road. I will wait closer to game time to make my final prediction as there could be quite a few injuries within a 3-week timeframe - both teams suffered this weekend.

Its always great to see any team sell out games .... interesting news story about hotel industry in Winnipeg. They are seeing a drop of atleast 30% due to Rider fans not attending in Winnipeg. That represents a ton of money which is unfortunate. Never underestimate the value of away teams fans visiting ....
