Montreal @ Winnipeg. Pre-game

[wpg#1]

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

No, I believe the best we can be is 3rd in the west, or the crossover team.

DB Michael Griffin dressed for today. He's missed the last four games with a knee injury.

Cam Echols in for Pokey Wilson with the 1s.
Zach at QB with Michael Chris-Ike at RB.

Brady Oliveira not practicing for the Bombers today.


Fair to say Dillon Mitchell will not get another chance?

Why wouldn't Mitchell get another shot?? He's been targetted 21 times caught the ball 19 times (90%)...wish the rest of our receivers where that good at catching the ball!! Sterns is 46 catches on 65 attempts (70%), Wheatfall 41 of 70 (59%), Wilson 21 of 36 (58%), and Clercius 40 of 57 (70%), if anything, maybe Wheatfall gets pulled from the lineup

Wheat>>>>Mitchell imo

Read that Zach and JJ were not happy with his performance in Edmonton and we're trying to coach him up on the sidelines.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Starting at 5:00 O'Shea's narrative is beginning to run thin, his confidence in the team's ability is based upon past performance and experience of his veteran group and how incredibly hard they work.  He's lost the ability to evaluate their performance objectively, you can hear in Derek Taylor's questions he doesn't believe O'Shea's answers are still valid.

Fair to say Dillon Mitchell will not get another chance?

If there's injury he will.  Wheatie had mega rust, and really was no better than Mitchell.  If Mitchell blew it badly running wrong routes in EDM, then ya, he'll be put at the back of the bench, but we may still need him.  I think Mitchell may not be smart enough to execute our O.

What he probably blew is his chances of being on the team next season.

[Tecno]

The thing is we're at home and the bombers have their fans to appease as it's the last time this season they ll see them play

I think the home crowd will get to see them play again Nov 16, 2025!!

[Tecno]

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.

Ouch.  There's proof right there that we're committed to Ko-man long-term.  Like it or lump it.

Wow, just watched the MOs interview, he's a master at football psychology, cool as a cucumber, he's confident the offense is going to get it done. Not sure how he can say that after the dismal second half but the offense is going to step it up seeing their coach has their back in probably the darkest moment in the season. He's quietly challenged his leaders, who were very upset after this game,to lead the team and get things right. Dinwiddie and Maas would have lost their ,minds in the media, OShea is like oh ya, all is well, our vets are going to get it done.  We ll see what happens.

EF - @ Hamilton

WSF - Calgary @ BC
WF - @ SSK

Day 2 of Bombers practice: RB Brady Oliveira (now the league leader in yards from scrimmage) is dressed today after a very reduced day yesterday.
REC Nic Demski remains out (hamstring)

[theaardvark]

Contract status for MOS and Walters (and Wade)?

Can we see a departure from norms based on contract?  Either trying to save the season, or a showing new teams they aren't one trick ponies and have the ability to adapt?

[gordo]

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.

Agree. Especially if Collaros wants to play. Oshea always lets his vets decide. Most egregious case was Bighill starting in the Grey Cup. Never should have been on the field. And it cost us.

Having said that, I don't mind if the entire first string offence plays the full game to try and get their act together. And let Brady run wild. He needs to release some of that frustration.

[Pigskin]

Hamstrings are pretty tricky. Can't see ND10 practicing until middle of next week, if at all.
