Official Game Day Thread - BC at Winnipeg, August 1, 2024

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I'll be a dink and say it:

Best game of the year coincidentally the game we start the fewest number of Canadians.

Shades of 1988?! This D is championship calibre surprisingly. Matt Dunnigan at his peak and bomber D shut him down in crunch time that year in the GC.

[Pete]

Whitehead made a difference. not just in his catches but opened up plays for others

[J5V]

Bombers now in a playoff spot.

[markf]

Wonder if Neufeld has been playing hurt?


and yeah... lucky was finding spots and getting open.

little concerned that zach might start locking in on Wilson.

[ichabod_crane]

Bombers now in a playoff spot.

Calgary has two games in hand though. Long way from crawling out of their hole. No more mulligans left.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Calgary also has a home and home with Toronto who really is sucking right now.

[Go_Big_D]

bombers D kept the bombers in the game the Offence got on track

[dd]

We are trending in the right direction. Calgary stunk last week and BC this week. west is WIDE, WIDE open!!

[Blue In BC]

We're back. How do you like us now?

That's a good feeling heading into the bye and a chance to get healthier.

The rookies are coming into form. I'd give Johnson a bit of slack. He's made some good plays but goes down too easy it seems.

Anyone with an impression of how Randolph played?

Final DT's were interesting for Winnipeg. Bighill led the charge but the Lions had so many 2 and outs that nobody on defence had big tackle numbers. Works for me. Best defence is keeping the opponent off the field. I don't know if the Lions cleared 18 minutes for the game.

SHUTOUT. What more can you ask for?

[Pigskin]

Well, it was very hot and humid. But, the fans were on fire. Great game. D was outstanding. O was very good, but I would have liked a few more TDs. Lucky was a big spark for this team.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I hope we get Dolegala in two weeks. He's 9.5 feet tall and still managed to get 12 passes knocked down by Willie.

[Pigskin]

Wilson 7/9  112 yards.
Lucky  6/6   56 yards, more then okay.
Clercius 2/2 25 yards, and some key blocks.

Woli82 moving well on the sidelines. We could have Woli82 and Lawler after our well deserved break.

[The Zipp]

#BCLions HC Rick Campbell says Vernon Adams Jr will be reevaluated upon returning to Vancouver, but based on early observations his right leg injury will take weeks, not months, to heal. Campbell emphasized it is not season-ending.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Who saw this coming? Not me.
