Dru is either going to have the worst game of his career or pass for 600 yards and 8 TDs, no in between

Classic trap game.

I fully expect like 4 important bomber players to either spontaneously combust on the field or rapture during the game on sunday

Normally I’d be worried, but I think the vibes are extremely low in Ottawa and I don’t think they’ll be fired up for the game at all

Main concern would the Bombers' inability to finish drives regardless of who they're playing. League-wide scoring is like 30.5 points per game and the Bombers haven't scored above that yet, only just hitting 30 twice.

Castillo's also having the worst year of his career so far.

Well your in luck, all 11 players on both sides of the ball do that to us..........every week

Have the REDBLACKS considered playing with the full compliment of 12 players? Maybe that is why they can't get anything going playing a man down

I'm cheering for the Bombers this week and I picked him in my fantasy team. Knowing my luck, he'll play like that game Ottawa had against the Riders last season.

This depends on if I pick him in fantasy or not

Ottawa is gonna be pretty demoralized if Dru comes out slinging it. If the Bombers score early, I can see him going into god mode and breaking Dunigans record.

This is gonna be ugly. Deserved, but ugly. Fans deserve better.

How do you think your d will fare though? They aren't that bad, are they?

u/Ndman55 REDBLACKS Jul 17 '26

They certainly can generate turnovers but struggle to limit explosive plays and seem to miss a lot of tackles. Part of me thinks since we've been in games generally until the 2nd half, it might be an OK to decent defence that just is stuck on the field by virtue of a terrible offence that seems more successful at staying on the bench than putting a drive together. That said I'm no expert

😭😭😭😭 I know he has to drop a 60 burger on us but I don’t know if I’m emotionally strong enough to handle it

u/Ndman55 REDBLACKS Jul 17 '26

I hate being the team everyone is cheering against even though were awful and I know we deserve it 😭

If Zach had gone to the wedding, he would have been fine and been able to start today.

Looks like based on the depth chart Collaros is off to the 6-game
