    Game Thread: Saskatchewan at Winnipeg Sat. Sept 9

    Losing a close one to the Riders, should motivate the Bombers to a win at home. However, this is not the Bombers defence of the last three years.

    Here are the injury reports for the Bombers and Riders. The Riders list is a lot longer creating possible depth problems for them.

    I tuned in with as Winnipeg scored their sixth TD to go ahead 42-6. Glad I missed the slaughter.

    Winnipeg seems to get sloppy at times, then tightens up and pulverizes the next time. I wonder if this is less overconfidence and more a sign of an aging team that is starting to wear down, but still be devastating when they make a really focused effort.

    Heh, me too. When I woke up and checked the score, just decided to pass. Instead, looked at Argos highlights while waiting for the Stamps-Elks and Western-Carleton games to start.

    Same thing happened to me - I was out, returned home, turned on the tv to see what was happening and did a double take when I saw the score 42-6!!!

    I tuned out at half-time; disappointing to see a slaughter after such a good game last week.

    I wasn't surprised that Winnipeg blew the Riders out. The Bombers are simply a much better team and they were ticked off after last week's loss. More often than not, this is the way the Banjo Bowl goes. I will add that the Riders are a terrible road team.

    The Blue Bombers beating the Roughriders in the Banjo Bowl after losing the game prior before is similar to the Argos defeating the Tiger-Cats 48-0 at home in 2005 after losing Labour Day the game prior.
