I am looking at our PR and we have only one LB on our list. Les Maruo. I am thinking he will have to on the AR to backup SG44 and MC33.

Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

I am thinking the Bombers won't have there first practice until Tuesday or Wednesday. Knowing MOS, we won't get an injury report until then. I hope ND10 can get in some practice time in this week. Long range weather for Hamilton Wednesday 12, Thursday 15.

If you are not on twitter...Joe Burrow rolled into the stadium wearing his dad's Als jersey...all Canadian fanboys are losing it...(I just admit it is pretty cool)

Fajardo was sacked 7 times in the EDF - I foresee our D doing much the same next weekend.
The Argos also seemed to have success running the ball against the Als, so that should bode well for us

Fajardo is not as elusive as Adams and the Bombers sacked Adams nine times. It could be a long day for Fajardo.

Mtl put up less than 200 yards net offense.  I am sure we can contain them, it's the D with their big stops and timely turnovers we have to worry about. Argos nearly doubled them in offense but the final score was not even close.

For those who watched Montreal on offense you will notice they looked inept 85% of the time.
Als are lucky the Argos were sucking so bad because the Als O sucked big time as well. Especially the OL and Fajardo.

Kelly was a pastry maker.. a turnover machine...  MTL won on D takeaways. 

Daquoy and Stubblefield are to be avoided at all costs, do NOT throw into coverage where they are. 

If Zach can avoid that, and we can pound BO20 up the gut for most of the game, and our D can get similar penetration against Cody as they did against Vernon, its going to be a fun game for Bomber fans...

With the forecast, this could be one of the most pleasant GC games, weatherwise, ever.  Other than dome games.  I am almost tempted to try and get tickets.

Almost.

Will have a huge pot of chili at the house, and people over to watch the game.

And no Hamilton aroma to deal with. (If you know, you know.  Steeltown)

I can't recall Fajardo ever beating the Bombers, is it possible he's never beaten them?  Hopefully someone in the media produces this stat.

As long as Zach plays smart football against their D, the Bombers should win the game, it might not look spectacular but it should be a solid victory.

I'm thinking we might add a DL. Either another DE or DT. However Maruo has the most experience and game time.

I could see us adding a db. possibly rose

I'm not media so I hope my information is okay

Fajardo is 2-10 as a starter vs. the Blue Bombers. His wins were both in 2019 (Sept 1 & Oct 5)

Thank you, he looked all out of sorts yesterday. Cody does not scare me.

Thanks, I'm guessing those two games happened when Streveler was the starter?

#Bombers set to depart for Hamilton tomorrow at 3:00 pm CT. Team will hold an on field session Tuesday afternoon at Tim Hortons Field. 

For Sunday's 110th Grey Cup the team will wear white jerseys with gold pants.

Another interesting factoid is that Zach Collaros is the only CFL quarterback in history to play in 4 consecutive Grey Cup games.  Pretty impressive for Zach and his Blue Bomber teammates.
