Bombers needed the win much more....than I needed the gin...
...but we will both take it.

Your highlight package is better than TSN'S Thanks DOD!

......Great game to watch, except I guess for Karen and her missing million...Both teams coming off a short week but they played really well considering...Bad calls by the refs. all game on both sides but it didn't take that much away from a solid Bomber win.. :thup: We just have to keep er going....If anyone is thinking the argo's are going to be a slouch this year....think again :wink:

Ricky nearly got chopped on the finl TO series; wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't go next outing.

Refs missed tht one big-time!

It ws on us so nobody in Wpg. gives dmn!

Ricky is gumby so he might be OK. :cowboy:

Good synopsis as always DoD.

It was an entertaining game, but we were aided by some terrible work by the refs. Regardless of how you feel about the call on the Martese Jackson return that was overturned, we've all seen those hand contacts to the head against the QB called so many times before, shocking they weren't this time around, but fortunate for us.

Loeffler and Westerman had their biggest games. I'm a bit stunned they didn't try go after Carmichael more than they did given his performance in the first two games. Alexander on the corner I think is coming along. They did a pretty good job taking away SJ Green. Still gave up a lot of pass yards, but kept them out of the endzone.

Oline held up very well against the vaunted Argos Dline, 0 sacks credited to the Argos on the cfl.ca boxscore. Harris with his best game of the season. The offense made use of full group of receivers , though I think we need to start seeing something more from Washington sometime soon.

......Agree on Washington....he made one nice grab but dropped another...We have to have those catches from him....Plenty of receivers out there, so methinks he better start making his presence known a little more, or he might be looking over his shoulder pretty quick...Don't know why this club can't get going in the first quarter...Seems like nobody is ready and they go into some kind of funk...We have too many good receivers to shut down like that...Somebody has to light a fire early, failing that we get put behind the eight ball, and have to play catch-up on too many occasions

With press coverage on most bomber WRs - you better have great hands! Every reception counts, it seems!

IMO it’s LaPo. Think back to when he was head coach. We always had difficulties getting our offense going and were almost always a lousy first quarter team, heck, often we were a bad first half team. I think he like to poke a prod a bit to start the game to see what the defense may be scheming rather than coming out of the gate trying to dictate what he wants the offense to do. I don’t forsee a big shift anytime soon as O’Shea won’t be calling offensive plays and I hardly expect him to take those duties away from LaPo.
