Sara Orlesky (TSN) said it was the loudest CFL Stadium she'd ever been too.
I'll believe when if they beat the Riders in Sask. and the Als in Montreal.

Due to the law of average's,and the fact they play the Riders in the next 2 games,I feel they will only win one of those games,they gotta lose at some point.
And as far as beating Mon,why do ppl still feel they are the top dog?I think they have had a lighter schedule then the BB's,the Al's have beaten Tor twice,BC,Ed and Sask,they lost to Ham,Sask and Cal.Somehow I dont fear them at this point in the season.
Ironically,the Al's and BB's have booth lost to the Stamp's

there is a story comparing this Bomber team to the 84 squad. some guy posted that Fred Reid is every bit as good as Williard Reaves was. i dont think that guy ever saw Reaves play. Reid is nowhere near Reaves' class. i believe the story was in todays Sun.

Fred Reid isn't even as good as Robert Mimbs was. In 1990, Mimbs has 1341 rush yds and 71 receptions, then followed up with 1769 rush yards in '91

Depends how you want to compare the two RB's I guess.They are 2 diff era's of football,and the rushing in the CFL this year is way down.
But between the two,they booth have played the about the same amount of games at this point.Reid gets half a yard more per gain then Reaves did,but Reaves had about 300 more carries.It all comes down to era's I think.

Its truely outstanding the turn around in 1 year by the bombers. Well done to the coaches and management.
However being great and all they need to keep it going all the way to the playoffs. The odd loss here or there is good for a reality check but hopefully no form slumps! Its about time the grey cup comes back to Manitoba!~

I hope no one's forgetting 2001 when the Bombers tied the record for most consecutive wins (12) and then lost the last two regular season games and ended up losing the Grey Cup to the 8-10 Stamps. No Grey Cup was ever won in August. m.

Its really amazing how often you see teams regret resting players in a meaningless game at the end of the season.

I can see resting them in the second half or 4th quarter, but not the entire game.

Well, that first half wasn't very reassuring...
Can't believe they didn't get a major on that last turnover..
