We really need that 10th team so we can get rid of this first week bye nonsense.
But the Blue being on the bye week didn't stop me from putting my Bombers jersey on and watching Ottawa and the Riders battle it out.
Riders looked shaky to start but seemed to collect themselves throughout the rest of the game. Sucks for them that Oulette went out so early... but good for us Bombers fans!
Thanks for the post. You're right, even though it's Winnipeg based, I felt their analysis was pretty unbiased.
Going to be an interesting season all around the league. Hoping the Bombers have the added drive off hosting the Grey Cup this year to make that extra push and get into that championship game at home.
Going to my first Grey Cup this year, so would love to see my hometown team in it!
I would agree with the parity comment. I think there is a lot to look forward to across the entirety of the league this year as far as talent goes. IMHO I don't think that any one team is a sure pick to win it all at this juncture. That being said, all it takes (for any team) is a key injury to really derail a season.
Both Ottawa and the Riders looked good last night.
Looking forward to more football tonight and tomorrow. Really interested to see what happens in Edmonton this year. I think I'm most excited to see what VA does in Calgary against BC. That looks like a good rivalry game for sure.
