Eternal optimist

Uhh... you need to look up the definition of fatal. Though hurt, last news I heard Nichols still had a pulse.

Obviously the car wash was running, they just had the water turned off lol.

In my opinion, SSK splits with EDM now that they're facing a real QB (12-6), CAL takes care of business against BC next week. So... 1) CAL 12-6 2) SSK 12-6 3) WPG 11-7

1. Collaros - had some misses and bad reads, but there have been way worse Bomber QB performances on 2 days of reps. 2. Jefferson - Not many big stats, but guy was disruptive. 3. Grant - had a couple big returns (2-point convert), and a smart heads-up play to catch a bad punt on the fly (resulting in 15 yard no yards penalty, setting Bombers up at CAL 25 yard line) HH to Medlock for pulling down the high snap and still getting that punt away with under 3 left to play - if we turnover on downs there, pretty much game over, game-winning kick is just icing on the cake.

Still his fault for having a shoulder made of flesh and bone.

By this logic, Kevin Feterik (2001 Grey Cup champ) is a better player than Milt Stegall? I heartily disagree.

When you open with "Hey Milt! You're my favorite Bomber player to never win a Grey Cup!" kind of puts a chill on friendly gestures.

I was 1 when they won their last Grey Cup, don't even remember it... too much formula, had a temper tantrum I don't even remember the 4th quarter! I think I crapped my pants a few times in excitement too.

It really is a shame, he was having a career year before that injury, guess you could say the same for Nichols though. Sadly, the football gods are often cruel and unforgiving.

Assuming you're alluding to Matt Nichols... that is a very tough decision in the off season. My heart says keep him, but the brain says time to move on.

No way would I take a gamble with him coming back from such a serious injury, I guess if the price is right, but with it being such a heavily QB-driven league, he'll fetch a high price somewhere... Ottawa, Toronto, maybe? Of course, he'll most likely re-sign with Hamilton, players usually like to stay where they have set up shop, if they can.

Just got my statement for my 2020 season tickets, and noticed they've kindly already applied the home playoff credit to the invoice... is the fix in? Could we not still host a playoff game if we beat CAL, then CAL loses to BC?

I know he takes a lot of flak, but man, how on Earth do you throw that challenge flag? That was textbook definition of helmet-to-helmet, will continue to get called every single time. I understand they had nothing to lose... EXCEPT A TIMEOUT, YOU IDIOTS.

Why on Earth would the Lions voluntarily wear their away jerseys in this game? Just feeds into the 'Rider mentality that this is just another home game for them ...

"Another thrill on the hill, at McGill" - Rod Black. Stop. Just stop.

Having a playoff spot locked down certainly provides an incentive to take the foot off the pedal... but the Bombers are 7-1 at home, and 3-5 on the road. I think we can beat the 'Riders in their own barn, especially if we go with a run-heavy game plan like last week. However, Calgary is not a pushover team - if they do end up playing in the WSF, I hope it's on our turf. Sadly hosting the Western Final seems a pipe dream now.

You're missing the big one: Highest percentage of unsuccessful seasons (resulting in not winning the GC) - 94.87%

Just wanted to chime in that whoever did the schedule this year did a fantastic job, lots to still play for, lots of season series still up the air. Time will tell I guess.

Only Rider fans would be concerned about game day attendance when our province has declared a state of emergency. The world could be burning and they'd want to know if they won the season series.

Classic 'Rider math 1+1 = 3 lol

Agreed, the Als are a decent team, but tougher opponents will make him pay for those mistakes.

You mean using a standard gimmick as a receiver, which in itself is a gimmick.

1) Harris - Ran for 166 yards (career single game record), only mistake was a fumble in garbage time. 2) Rasheed Bailey - 5/7 for 86 yards - made some mistakes but on the whole made the most of opportunities given to him. 3) Marcus Rios - played okay, but slid well to cover the check-down, forced Adams to throw into Taylor's area... resulting in the pick-6. At that time it was 17-24 and MTL was still hanging around. Did a good job to block after the INT too. HH - Sayles for 2 picks allowing Bomberland free pizzas tomorrow.

Big game today, gotta try and gain some ground on the Stamps and 'Riders. My wife hates the weather, but I think it plays right into the Bombers ground game. Run. The. Ball. Go Blue!

So right now, here's how those three teams shape up in games against each other. If we win tomorrow, the West standings would look like this: 1) CAL (vs SSK 2-0, vs WPG, 0-1) Overall: 2-1 (Win % 0.667) 2) WPG (vs SSK 1-2 vs Cal 0-1) Overall: 2-2 (Win % - 0.500) 3) SSK (vs WPG 2-1, vs CAL 0-2) Overall: 2-3 (Win % 0.400) Of course, then that massive series against CAL just gets even more massive.
