Losing 30-6 at home to Vernon Adams is not a good look.

I don't think you could put much weight behind "artificially inflating their attendance" when the owner has been using a musical act for just two home openers and that's it.
He's a fantastic owner that is out and about and finding ways to increase attendance on opening nights with a quick concert before kick off and then other avenues the rest of the season.

See Maier isn't that bad. At least he scored a TD against the Lions.

It wasn't meant to be a shot at him, like I said I wasn't sure how often the did the concerts, and even if he did it every week and it was working good for him.

Credit to Adams as he's played at a high level against the Stamps and Bombers. That Lions defense is legit and they probably have the best group of WR's in the CFL (Keon Hatcher will also return at some point) so they really only need a QB that can distribute the ball and not turn it over to have a good shot of winning the west.
Another note is that it looks like father time finally caught up to Stanley Bryant as he was manhandled last night. Part of the Bombers success the past few years is that they have really protected Collaros well but it's an old offensive line and safe to say that there's only one way for it to trend going forward.

Wow, missed this game and just saw the score, I'm shocked! Losing a close'ish game to BC seems pretty good now...

Who knew that Phil Kessel's dad played QB for the Stamps?

Lions trounce the Bombers. I know it is a fool's errand to try and read much into early season results in the CFL, but man, that Lions defense looks downright dominant. I don't know if I see them dropping off all that much between now and November. Yes it's early, but so far they've shown all the tell-tale signs of a true contender.
Bombers will bounce back from this in all likelihood. Despite the bad outing they're still a legit contender.
Fajardo & the Als trounce the Ticats. Hard to say if this is a sign of the Als being for real, or the Ticats being in serious trouble. Probably a bit of both. Fajardo is a capable starter in this league... seems to do just fine when he has an actual offensive line protecting him.
The Ticats... ouch. After the offseason they've had, this is about as bad as things could have turned out through 3 weeks. Still time to right the ship, but it's going to be very difficult to say the least. Bo hasn't shown any signs of returning to his 2018 form; he has struggled mightily, and has found himself on the 6 game injured list after just 2 starts. Shiltz hasn't proven to be starter material yet, however, the season is still young.

At 0-3 and Edwards not being a star player this seems like a perfect time for Hamilton to make an example of him, show their players and fans they are not putting up with players like this and cut him.
Unfortunately they will convince themselves that he can help them win games so will do nothing or put out a weak statement saying it is bad but that's it.
