    Week 1 Game Thread - Hamilton @ Winnipeg - August 5, 2021

    The moment we've all been waiting for (even if it involves Hamilton).

    Will be emotional for all CFL fans I think, and especially for Winnipeg where they get to put their banner up.

    Will Hamilton have a post-Grey Cup let down (doesn't tend to happen to GC losers as opposed to Superb Owl losers)?

    Winnipeg is well coached, but I'm not sure I'm convinced by their offence (especially if Harris is out).

    I like the Bombers. My source tells me the Cats are having problems with their OT's and none of their kickers have looked good in camp.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    That would be a shame, go Bombers!

    You may want to take the under on this one as key offensive players are injured for both Winnipeg and Hamilton. The Blue Bombers could be without Harris and Adams while the Tiger-Cats may be without Van Zeyl, Addison and Posey.

    Jeremiah Masoli was named the starter for this one for the Tiger-Cats.

    The Ticats passing game will be hard to stop; but the Bummers have some good D players and pass rush, though their secondary is questionable IMO.

    Even without Harris, the Bummers have quite capable replacements in Oliveira & Augustine; if they stick with plenty of run game, i think they can win; a pass happy shoot-out and I'l bet on the Ticats.

    Both teams with question marks in the kicking game.

    Andrew Harris and former Argo WR Darvin Adams have not been practicing so far this week. If they miss the game, that's two big holes in their offence. I agree that the Bombers have good Canadian backups in Johnny Augustine and Brady Olivera, and even Nik Dempster if a rash of RB injuries hits, but none of them are Andrew Harris.

    Adams and Harris are now definitely out for this game.

    So are Addison, Posey, Laurent, Van Zeyl and the one that starts with A for Hamilton.

    After almost two years without CFL football, today has seemed a little weird to me.

    I love the excitement generated in the pre-game performance at the stadium. The league needs more of that.

    In answer to the recent 3downnation article that asked if the Ticats can go undefeated, the answer is NO!

    Very glad to see the game back.

    Dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage by Winnipeg, really enjoyed the game.
    Argos can take an almost insurmountable lead with a win on Saturday!

    I put no stock in these power rankings but Hamilton is grossly overrated this season

    Considering there has been no games in almost two years and no preseason games, I was surprised how well played the game was.

    Brady Oliveira's 126 rushing yards reflect his powerful RB's skills and make him a great backup for Harris.

    Almost surprising defensive dominance by the Blue Bombers!

    I didn't see the game. Was Oliviera as good as his stats suggest, or was it more that Winnipeg ran the ball a lot after building up a lead?
