The Stamps have excellent special teams, and running game, and the D is solid. The only piece missing is a passing attack. That's going to be tough to fix in-season, but the only chance they have is to switch it up at QB.

If they don't, I think it's a wasted opportunity to win with a team that has some real strengths.

That's pretty unfortunate. Rourke was the best thing about this season which has been mostly mediocre. Most of the games have been close but that's due to the fact that QB play has been poor. It's so bad that Collaros is the only QB left right now that's playing above replacement level QB.

IMO, with that injury, the door to hosting a playoff game just opened back up.

It really is unfortunate for the Lions as Rourke was having an incredible season and fans were coming back to BC Place. It makes me wonder if the Lions might be looking to bring in a veteran QB such as Vernon Adams or Nick Arbuckle via trade.

In other injury news, Riders RB Jamal Morrow suffered a broken hand in Friday's game against the Lions and he is out for an extended period of time.

That's really too bad, though I am not cheering for that team, it was fun watching that kid. When he is not playing against us, of course. Even when we lost to them that game, I was in awe for what that kid can do, just amazing. And he is a Canadian to boot!

Justin Dunk was on 960 his morning and he talked about how Michael O'Connor was best suited to take over at QB versus trying to plug in a CFL re-tread. With BC's receiving corps he might be able to keep the Lions treading water, but that's a pretty big drop-off IMO. Also said that while Rourke might be able to return at the end of the year, he'll have bigger plans going forward and therefore shouldn't rush back and potentially jeopardize his NFL opportunities.

There was also discussion about how the Stamps should go back to Mitchell on a short week, in Winnipeg. I'm inclined to agree -- I don't think the stage will necessarily be too big for Maier but Dunk made a good point: if you start Maier now you probably need to give him at least a few games. I'd rather do that with the Edmonton back-to-back starting on Labour Day. It also gives Mitchell one (last?) chance to pick up his game, because he now knows that he's going to get the hook if he continues to struggle.

On the positive; Carey, Henry and Ruffin were all full practice participants today.

I like it, Jake has the ability to escape the Bombers pass rush and extend plays with his legs. Let's go!
