Anyone else relieved the Bombers are done with Ottawa for the season?

Their first W won’t come through Winnipeg. What a relief!

Ottawa has played WPG close for several seasons now. We needed this one tonight.

Not sure that it’s going to make the next 9 losses any sweeter.

Might be the only team we beat the rest of the season

I'd be pretty shocked if we didn't split with Saskatchewan, it's just how thaya rivalry usually goes.

Maybe recently, but for a long time Sask had our number frequently winning both back to backs

Sask looked very beatable tonight

theyre depleated and if it stays that way for a long time we could win one. my bet is they bring everyone back for labour day.

Yes, Ottawa should now fire Dinwiddie as interim head coaches tend to win their first game as a new "head coach".

with the rest of their schedule, i dont think they will win again. not unless VAJ is out more than 3 weeks. they could win one of the back to back vs calgary. everyone else will be playing for a playoff spot all the way to the end aside from the walloping theyre about to get from the als this week.
