Wow. talk about a drop off! Bombers might be out of the playoffs in a month. lol

[Scrambler]

What an awesome finish to that game!

First time I was watching Canada soccer and Stamps games at the same time in my life, lol

I don't want to defend this team because I think there's a lot of stupid players that are past their Prime and there's a lot of misplaced loyalty. That said every single game, except maybe montreal, has come down to one play or one series

Maybe, but my eye test says they look done like dinner.

If he still has that "burst" he once had, he would be a great add for the Stamps who truly lack that guy without Henry.

Would Cam Judge be ok with that? I mean, he'd have to accept it but could it affect the team?

I took my boy to the game last night. The west side is always fuller than the east but if I had to guess attendance was in the low 20,000s. Jake didn't look good at all, a lot like last year's QB but the defense was excellent until the final drive in the 4th qtr. Not sure if it was heard on TV or not but lots of boos when the Stamps didn't even try to get in field goal range in the last 30 seconds of regulation.

The sound system at McMahon is brutal. All the speakers are over by the jumbotron now and it makes for a quiet stadium. The in-game hosts microphones also cut in and out. We all know the Flames need a new rink but the Stamps or Dinos shouldn't be playing in McMahon anymore, either that or invest in some serious renos and do it over a period of time.

Took my whole family for the game last night - first time as a whole crew now that my youngest is old enough to make it through most of the game.

I've been going to games for 30+ years:
-it's not perfect, but it's pretty clear that the team is trying really hard to improve the game day experience (like the pre-game event in the south field)
-we sat in the family section in section L - I'm totally on board with the cheap seats being high up and on the end, but, the stairs to get up there are about double the size of normal stairs. Really hard for a 4 year old to walk up and down
-the sound system is brutal -it's loud and unclear at the north end...would hate to see what it's like at the south end
-a 20,000 person crowd is full of real fans that are into the game, cheering/getting loud at the right time. Still a great atmosphere. And on a night like last night? Not much better on a summer evening in Calgary
-the lower attendance makes the concourse so much more pleasant to navigate. Makes me more likely to come back
-I've been thinking this for years, but DD's brand of football is SO BORING. Seems like they never have a true game breaker, star returner, or sack master to get people both into and out of their seats

Best game of the young season for the defense but it's hard to gauge given how bad the Bombers look right now as the score flatters the Bombers. Disappointing regression by Maier who looked like the same limited QB he did last season. Between Maier and Dave's poor play calling in the red zone, this team has a lot of work do clean up but unfortunately Dave's poor play calling is here to stay as is his vanilla offense which is as frustrating to watch today as it was five years ago. I can sympathize with fans that don't want to pay to watch this brand of boring football in a relic of a stadium.

Best short yardage QB in the league and on 2nd an 2 yards, Dave's decision trying to run out the clock is to run the ball out of the shotgun and get stuffed. I just don't understand what's going through his mind when calling offense in the red zone or other key moments in the game. I know he's a smart guy but he's just doesn't have the knack for making the right call at the right time and this goes back to some Grey Cup games.

Trevor Harris has a MCL sprain and has been put in the 6 game IL.

Exciting finish in Ottawa. I don't understand why Hamilton would squib kick it after taking the lead.

Exactly - With limited time remaining, you need to kick it deep and then rely on your special team guys to limit the return. They left the door open to Ottawa tying the game with a rouge if they weren't in FG range. Inexplicable decision by Milanovich.

Looks like the Elks have signed him.

Argos look fairly average. It didn't help that Dukes threw 4 picks.

Yeah, you're not going to win many games with that many turnovers. Riders defense played excellent tonight.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Another game down to the last few minutes and one score. I think that’s almost every game all season except Montreal who keep blowing people out.

[Flickered Flame]

Collaros is listed as the 3rd QB for the Bombers. Streveler is starting.

I don't think they plan to play Collaros tonight unless it's absolutely necessary.

I'm not watching the game because I'd rather watch Canada's Venezuela right now, and it seems like it's the right choice. What snooze fest in the stats
