A healthy quarterback Buck Pierce tries to reverse the Bombers 2-9 slide
WINNIPEG – Quarterback Buck Pierce is healthy and back in the Blue Bomber lineup as Winnipeg tries to rescue a dismal season.
They’ve got a rematch Friday with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, one of only two teams they’ve managed to beat this year.
Given their 2-9 record, Pierce isn’t making any bold predictions about the team’s ability to get back in the hunt for a playoff spot.
He says until the Bombers show more maturity and discipline, that’s still a question mark.
Coach Tim Burke says they managed to beat Hamilton once but the players definitely have no reason to be overconfident of a repeat.
Hamilton snapped their own five-game losing streak with a 51-8 thumping of the Edmonton Eskimos last Saturday.
