Winnipeg's defence has improved tremendously since last year to become the second lowest scored upon in the CFL. When combined with the league's highest scoring offence and playing at home, the odds strongly favour the Bombers over Ottawa.

Impressive win by Ottawa.

I find Glen Suitor much less annoying working with Rod Black. Maybe it's more because of Black than Suitor, but I hope they keep them together.

After blowing a 24 point lead against the Argos and allowing Montreal to keep the score close when, in terms of talent, stats and field position, the Redblacks margin of victory should have been much larger, Ottawa seemed to determined not to let up, which led to a 44-21 victory over the Bombers.

More CFL "Command Center" blindness or cowardice kept the Bombers in that game for awhile: Andrew Harris - blatantly obvious reception & fumble, gets over-turned as an incomplete pass = WTF? A correct call on the field would have seen Ottawa score an easy return TD, and at the very least, the review should have given Ottawa the ball, Then, later on that same bogus drive - Harris gets rewarded with a TD when one angle clearly showed his foot has slid out of bounds before the ball broke the goal line plane. What is with these morons at CFL control sometimes ? - are they just stupid or afraid to over-turn some calls, or do they like to try to keep games close ???
