Winnipeg at Saskatchewan LDC - pregame discussion

[The Zipp]

We know the LDC is a different beast - wins for the Bombers are possible but this game can get weird fast. 

The importance of the next 4 games are huge in the standings  - riders twice and Edmonton twice, winning all 4 would be huge if we think first place is in play.  Losing all four and playoffs could be gone.

Riders have a very good defence but this team is mentally wounded right now - we need to start fast and hope they implode.

Oh Zipp you early birdie you!

I'll be as pumped up as I always am. Going for 22 years In row coming up. Always THE party of the year.

Old man Harris puts up some numbers but has average at best players around him.

Sask D was strong but has cooled off as of late.

I like younger to come up with some destructive schemes.

Lauther, well lets just say I can't wait for the creative signage present!

Never too early for the LDC discussion. 

Great past week for the Bombers in the standings.  Next 4 weeks could sort out some tight standings...the NFL starts in there...college football - what a great month coming up for football fans!

Hoping big Stanley is well enough to play this week and perhaps the Bombers will move an o lineman up from the PR.

The LDC is a very tough environment to win in. We had a rough game execution wise on offense, so wer e due for a good one, but there seems to be a voodoo curse on the LDC game

well that is shocking news to all.

Riders have won 14 of the last 18 LDC games, that's a pretty healthy curse and hardly ancient history. But you go with your perception of reality if it works for ya

The perception is they stink right now. And we, barring some offensive improvement, we trending upwards. Percep away dd.

riders may be on a slide, but their defense has been strong, their dline scares me especially if our oline is undermanned. Their recent losses have been due to a few mistakes costing them. Much like our first 6 games

Yup

#1: SSK WR corps is worst in the league on paper / name recognition.

#2: OL is suspect without Yoshi & run game can suffer.

#3: Liver King is a huge disappointment so far, Hickson is fast but not powerful.

#4: Trevor clearly is still "one hit Harris", so hit and INT him early and he'll fold (see his last game).

That said, I would keep good coverage on WR Meyer, as he shows real promise and is quickly becoming the new fan favorite.  Seems to have good hands and YAC.

First practice of the week will be tomorrow. Have to be in the city for a family event, so I will be at practice. Good to get a look at the injured first hand.

Hi Goldie! I will be there yet again. My clients in Sask always invite myself and my Sales Director to the game. We stay in Moosejaw but travel to the game on game day early in the morning. There always is a good BBQ in the afternoon and then the company bus takes us to the game and back yet again to their office. The girls always stay back in Moosejaw at the Spa so only my Sales Rep and myself make it to the game. I am going to try and figure out where we sit and hopefully you can let me know where you sit. I transferred my company to Calgary a number of years ago so hard to get to the Peg for many games this year.

This series could go either way. Obviously Bombers winning both games gives us the series advantage on 3 western teams in the race.

A split would not be good but would still put us in a better situation than losing both games.

I'd like to think we can win in Regina. That would make LD a little less stressful to watch since I think we'd have the clear advantage in winning both games.

It's starts with winning on the weekend.

GO BOMBERS.

That is excellent ! I am expecting a few vets getting the day off and the injury report to be loaded up even if they are expected to play on Sunday.  For the first time that I have ever heard MOS admitted that the team looked tired in the game vs Hamilton so as we get into the heart of the schedule the vets are gonna get some days off.
