Is the team staying out in Ontario for the week like they did a couple of years back (that ended in tears)?

Dru will likely be back, but he may be rusty.  I'm not sure non-100% Dru will be any better than Crum has been playing.  And one hit on Dru and he's out for 3 more weeks... oh wait, we don't have a pass rush, so drop that idea.

Zach likely back.  The post-game had a guy saying Zach was throwing passes in warmup in HAM and looked good.  MOS said we'll see, but sounded optimistic.

At least we took no big injuries in the HAM game, except maybe a hammy or something on Griffin, but my guess is he's ok, and we should be fine at that spot regardless.

All you Strev haters can dream about his knee being blown out in that last play, and getting to see T.Wil in for SY, or maybe even starting.  Me, I think it'll be same-old Zach-Strev-Wilson depth.

They will be coming back to Winnipeg.

My question is whether they will actually practice 4 times (plus the walkthrough)?

This season they have been taking an extra day off the field after their 3rd day of practice.

It is a good idea in theory. It hasn't helped us this year but I am in favor of it. I just feel it's a quarterback's league and we ain't got one. I never thought I'd see us at the bottom of the takeaway/giveaway chart.

I'm at the point that whatever we are doing different this year, reverse it NOW.  We've been doing the days-off thing most of the season (MOS talks to it a lot).  It's not working, reverse it and add MORE practice, not less.

Everyone is so awful right now they need all the practice they can get.

I'm not sure any other team is regularly taking practice days off, even though maybe the top-3 teams could.

It was nice watching Ottawa with their backup Qb, Montreal with their backup Qb and Toronto with their 3 rd string Qb, it was nice watching how offense adapt to the situation and call a great game and win a football game. After watching the bombers play I wanted to barf! How many times do we watch strev run the pro and run upfield to block or tuck it and run for little gain. It's like watching a pop warner offense vs a real pro offense, with #2 and #3 QBs play better than we ever have this year
