With Hansen out, who is the 2nd Global?

I believe teams are allowed to dress a NAT instead of one of the GLO players. Stephen Smith is dressing at LB.

let's hope for a decent crowd today. More than just us, the hard-core. For once, the Jays are out-of-town.
Bombers typically are one of our worst home-game opponent draws, similar to Elks and Lions.
However, the 24 Grey Cup re-match has some attraction, so...GO ARGOS!! :)

Weather forecast certainly won’t help with that. But as always, I will be there. Dollarama ponchos come in handy in nights like this

Argos looking ok so far mostly. Two good passes lead to a touchdown, but the single point is missed and McMahon is hurt after getting the usual 2 yards on a running play. It looks like a miserable day in Toronto.

So 10-9 Bombers at the end of the first quarter.

The offensive line has disappeared in the last couple of min of the quarter, and unless they smarten up Arbuckle is going to get killed.

I don't understand some of the offensive play calling. Winnipeg fumbles and the Argos get the ball in the Winnipeg zone. And they get more than 2 yards on a running play. So second and medium and instead of trying to get the first down Arbuckle forces the ball into the end zone and Coxie was well covered so incomplete. Its lousy weather, go for the first down and try to grind down the clock a bit since they were leading at the time.

25-10 Argos at half time.

The offensive line played much better in the second quarter. The Argos actually recognized a blitz situation and completed a screen pass for 24 yards....if Daniels had any speed he might have gone all the way.

Collaros has 79 yds passing in the first half. Winnipeg started off running the ball for 6 to 10 yards a play, and then seemed to forget about the running game. Winnipeg's only TD was a defensive one. They have had something like 2 interceptions, and two fumbles and have not looked good offensively.

Coxie has 127 yds and looked great, obviously really wants to win.

Good win.

Like most teams the Bombers look to be in trouble with a second string QB at the helm.

A couple of people were injured and I don't know if any of them will be long term. Hopefully not. Chatfield played much better today.

Hopefully the Argos can get a game next week where they don't give up a defensive or special teams score.

Good way to bounce back after a heartbreaker last week. Was impressed by the defense especially McManis and Judge, Arbuckle, Coxie and even the offensive line, considering all of the injuries. Of course, the weather affected the game but both teams had to play through it. It would be great if they could win next week but it will be tough going to Winnipeg on a back-to-back.
