This could be a nothing game for both teams. Could be a lot of starter resting on both sides. But, for the Bombers I would like to see a lot of backups and PR players get a start. Starting with Wilson. It would also be nice to get a look at Bailey (DE) and Vibert on the (OL). Both draft picks this year. Let's see where there at with there development. Dixon 6'4" 250 and Jaworski 6'5" 260, in for Willy and Person. Give SB66 a rest. We have a couple of big boys hanging around on the PR, lets see what they look like in game action.

Wilson doesn't play. Collaros has got to get the offense executing MUCH better than last night and this meaningless game will be a walk through practice to get the O line and recievers moving in the right direction. Last night was pitiful.

Normally this is what we'd expect but I don't expect it this year. The 1st string team needs to get their act together even if it puts some players at risk to injury.

Next year is irrelevant at the moment.

This O is not getting fixed in one week. It's starts at the top. Our OC either doesn't have clue or he's been out coached. maybe both? ZC8 is beaten up and needs the rest. The man took a pounding last night. And, the OL needs to be totally re-vamped. And, then there the ? around ND10 It will be a miracle to beat Montreal in Montreal in two weeks.

Rest ZC8. He had a shoulder injury last night. He was limping for part of the game. The man is beaten up.

I agree with resting ZC for next week (but play him for a quarter or less)  I only wish O'Shea can see the frustration on ZC this isn't working out with OC (Jason Hogan).  It was painful to watch in the stands last night and it showed on the field.  I listened to the post game and you can hear it in the voices of ZC and BO.

Something just doesn't look right with this team.  We need our receivers and O Line to be better in their assignments and protecting ZC.

One more game to sit in the stands and I will cheer our team on with the good and bad.  Too bad we didn't get a playoff game to watch in the stands with the Grey Cup being in our city.

What time did OShea rest a quarterback because he was injured, or had taken a beating?

Drew Willie? Matt Nichols? Collaros with a gashed hand in the Grey Cup?

this won't happen.

You're right Markf. Won't happen in a million years. A billion even.

I actually feel sorry for Collaros, he is being physically pummelled and has to play with a bunch of misfits who couldn't make any other team. You can tell he's fed right the F up with the play calling as is BO, and that means there will be a change at OC in the off season. When you're 2 offensive leaders aren't happy, things get changed. O line, give Koko and Neufeld their walking papers, I'd go shopping for a FA tackle and move Bryant to RT. Need a #1 stud reciever to go with Wilson and Demski, keep Sterns for #4 reciever , thinking Cobb could replace Clercius, whos' done nothing all season except for 1 decent catch he's been invisible.

I'd like to see Smith and Shay get reps on D.

Not sure if I am correct on this but if we win and Calgary and B.C. both lose, can we finish second?

Zach literally sits out every year during the last game or two.
My wife is amazing!

we looked like we had it sorted after the Hamilton game. One game isnt going to make any difference... rest him - all we need is for Zac to be injured which is a real possibility with this oline. Let the oline get practice with wilson

I would also like to see them get more reps. We took LB Shay at #6, Calgary took OL Fortin at #8 and he's starting. We took Smith at #15 and he has been very good on teams, BC took Findlay at #16 and he's starting at Safety. Unfortunately for both of these guys our LBs have been very solid all season.

That's when we've finished in 1st place and are playing well.

I think so but it's not probable.
