Hamilton has a pretty good D. They also have a few weapons on O. Need a big win before our bye week.

This could be a trap game. After a massive win before the bye week against a non divisional weaker opponent.
I LOSHT MY MEMBER IN AN UNFORTUNATE SHMELTING ACCSHIDENT!

Hamilton has Tim white and that?s it on Offense, their defense is so so, we should beat them easily but it depends if the good Zach or bad Zach shows up

Heard this song and dance before. Ottawa earlier in the season. Regina a week ago . Hamilton September 2022. Hamilton puts up 48 points and beat us 48-31. The boys have to stay focused.

If we play like we did in the Banjo bowl, it's another huge win.
If we play like we did in the LD game, it's another disappointing loss.

Just show the boys the replay of last years game in Hamilton if your thinking about a trap game

don't they have Butler....he had a great game last outing?   We are definitely a better team however we've been beaten by lesser teams 3 times and coming off an emotional high like the Banjo Bowl is always tough.  We've won games when Zach hasn't been prolific however I don't think he deserves the misnomer of good Zach or bad Zach.    I'm not up on his win/loss record since we signed him however it's around the 90% mark.....couldn't locate this stat on the net.    I doubt if ANY QB In Bomber history has a win record like Zach' over four seasons.    I know I've been a little hard on Zach myself and posted that he needed a bounce back game.    He engineered 6 consecutive scoring drives for majors which may be some kind of record in itself.  
He's also a great leader and holds himself accountable always and his teammates revere him for it.  
So yeah, I'm more than willing to cut him some slack given how he deserves our utmost respect for how he's transformed the Bombers from mere contender/pretender status to championship status, leading us to 3 consecutive Grey Cup appearances and perhaps another this season.

Establish the run early and supplement with Bombs as needed

We will crush them if our D plays like yesterday and we dominate the line of scrimmage

ZC has been consistently inconsistent this year, and when he?s off, we lose, when he?s on, we kill teams. If he struggles, no doubt we ll lose to Hamilton. He doesn?t we ll kill them

I do worry they might be over thinking about 2 things.

1. bye week
2. playing Toronto and BC back to back

First place is ours to hold onto and keep.  That is what they have to think about.

He definitely has had his bad games and bad starts to games he won.....so I'll give you that.    He isn't perfect, however he's still a winner and I'm never going to label him bad Zach....we d reserved that for QBs like VAJ and others but not Zach.   I'll agree on inconsistent and leave it at that.    If he falters against Hammy well then.....we'll see.   Let's hope that's all in the rear view mirror and he plays as well as Zach can!

I keep,saying I hope that?s the last we see of his poor play but then he goes and starts the game off by throwing another pick six. He?s never been like this. Something seems off this year. Everyone throws a pick six, but he?s thrown a bunch of them this year often on the opening drive and then follows that up by struggling to get back into a rhythm.

It has not been an MOP season for Zach but when he and the O are on they are deadly! Good thing for the BB that happens more often than not!

Just provide Zach with good pass pro and he will shred teams with the weapons he has at his disposal.

Has it not? The media is pump Chad Kelly?s tires, but Zach?s pretty much still topping all the relevant statistical metrics + tied for the league lead in wins.
