Great comments by Zach post game. Says the key was going tempo on that final drive as it kept Hamilton unsettled. Fantastic composure.

  Bombers deserved to lose but I'm happy for them. They've had some bad luck this year. It's nice to see them win a close one. They can't afford to lose many more, obviously. Good job, Bombers. I'm still very optimistic. I think they play better as underdogs.

Lawler out again? Man oh man.

Ugly ugly win but a win! On to LDC...

[Sir Blue and Gold]

We escape. On to the Riders.

No it wasn't an int by Alexander.

I repeat why is Johnson still playing? Do we have to play with one hand behind our back on offence?

If our catch and then fumble was not a catch then that was an int.  He didnt hold possession it went through his hands and if he had possession he dropped it before he was done into alexanders hands.  Alexander had more control of that ball than anyone it was either incomplete or int.  But don't matter we would have went two and out with it anyways. That was just a terrible game to watch.

I have to laugh at some of the "chicken littles" on this forum! First they are all done like dinner with this team and then calling them heroes after pulling it out. Maybe WAIT to see the final seconds of any CFL game to know what the final result will be! Comical! Maybe I am just getting too old to be patient with wet behind the ears kids!!

Bull.....are you actually looking at the current standings? Sask in a spiral, same with BC and Calgary. Bombers and Elks on the way up in the second half of the season. Anybody's division to take. The west is so close another loss or two does not take the Bombers out of anything. PLUS they have the tie breakers with both Calgary and BC already and we shall see about Sask and Edmonton.  It won't be decided who has playoff positions until the last week of the season probably and the seeding based on how it's looking so far. It's a turtle derby! Who wants it the most?!

This "gimme" game tonight vs Hamilton they were VERY LUCKY to pull it out. Could have been a royal choke job, but the wily veteran Collaros pulls it out and Lawler finally earns his paycheque when it counted.

I thought he caught the game winning TD? OR did he pull something on that catch I don't know about?

Lawler injured his hand in the 1st. quarter going for a 50/50 ball. Trainers worked on him for awhile, but he did return.

[Blitzer]

I'm optimistic that the Bombers can still win the Grey Cup. If they don't end up 10 and 8 then I won't be so optimistic.

Jones earned every penny Ham is paying him...  what's that you say?

How does Jones not get flagged every play, he's 5 yards out onto the field most of the time.

Not my favourite game of the year, I much prefer blowouts...

[Pigskin]

Wallace is probably gone for the year. Neufled is on the 6 game, and we only have 6'6' 315, Vanterpool on the PR. Need to bring in some OL.
