  1. As long as he's still playing, he can still shoot for that goal! Calgary did look like crap against us last week but it was a nothing game. The week before was a game that mattered for both sided and they whooped the Lions (in BC too). McCheese only through for 123 yards but the Stamps still came away with a 41-16 win. If they're going to have a shot at the upset, they need to follow that game plan - limit what McCheese is asked to do & run the ball down BC's throat. The Stamps also didn't have Carey for that game either so having him back in the line-up only strengthens their run game.
  2. It wasn't because it was the right thing to do, it was simply an attempt to make sure they have their best roster available if they make it past Calgary. If he appealed and lost (which he would have), he'd be available this weekend but would have to serve the suspension during the West final against us. I'd do it this way too but let's not pretend it was anything but a strategic move on their part.
  3. Just wait until Dinwiddie wins coach of the year and goes on a 10 minute rant about roster management during his acceptance speech! 😂
  4. I agree with your rankings. Ramallah is the best I've had in Winnipeg. Also agree about the spice level at Osmows. Made the mistake of ordering too spicy the first time and won't do that again. 😂
  5. Can't believe they snubbed The Seal. 😞
  6. I believe it's after the team's final game, not when the season ends. For players on the Riders or L's, it would have been Oct 22nd because they had a bye the final week while Redblacks would have been the 29th because they played this past weekend. All the other playoff-bound teams would still have a PR to pull players from if needed (ex: injury replacements).
  7. 4 TD's from punt returns & 6 from interceptions. The Bombers only had 3 that didn't come from the offence (1 punt return, 1 interception & one fumble recovery).
  8. Yup. https://3downnation.com/2023/10/27/brady-oliveira-caps-outstanding-season-as-blue-bombers-stomp-stampeders-nine-other-thoughts/
  9. You're including defensive & special teams points in that 3 point spread when the topic was the offence. Comparing strictly the offence, it's a bit bigger than 3 points as we scored 12 more TD's. Argo's had 26 TD's passing & 30 rushing while the Bombers had 42 passing & 26 rushing.
  10. That's for the team nomination, which he didn't have a vote for. He did for have a vote for the divisional nominations though.
  11. The fact he actually has a vote on these is mind blowing.
  12. I agree that a ton of the posts in this thread won't affect everyone but that can be said for any other thread/topic on here. It obviously affected someone enough that they felt it needed to be posted so who are we to say what's worth posting to somebody else? The simple solution to either ignore the thread/certain posters or only comment if/when it appeals to you (which you admit you already do). The fact that social media exists and can serve the same function is irrelevant. Should the whole board be shut down because we can already comment on Bomber news on social media? We get most of our Bomber news & updates from social media and bring it here to discuss so why should this thread be any different?
  13. The idea that because a public figure doesn't know each person that respects/enjoys their work so we shouldn't talk about them, is ridiculous. I mean Bob Irving has no idea who most people on the board are but I guarantee that when his time comes, it will be a sad day here (and throughout the Canadian football community) and there will be tons of discussion about his life and career. People can impact your life without ever having met you and there's nothing wrong with that all. As mentioned earlier, if this thread isn't your thing, maybe you should just ignore it and not comment on it?
  14. They opened about two months ago I believe. I've been a couple times as I love shawarma. You can get more of a North American meal if the family isn't wanting to try something completely new. Their signature creations page has some different options like getting your shawarma on top of fries, rice or salad rather than in a wrap. I've tried the chicken "on the rocks" (chicken on a bed of rice) and it's really good. https://osmows.com/menu/signature-creations/

  16. That's a 2025 problem. Jones needs to worry about 2024. I don't think he has the job security to be worried that far in advance. If Ford can't show more improvement, he won't get a huge increase. If Brown only shows that he's the next Arbuckle, they can cut or trade him.
  17. Why would they have to dump him? He's still on his rookie deal so he's getting peanuts next season. They can still try to bring in Brown without moving Ford. Jones clearly isn't a huge fan of Ford and has already stated camp will be an open competition next year so it's not inconceivable that they take a run at Brown.
  18. I totally read that in Dunigan's voice.
  19. I read the CBC report and she really has nobody to blame but herself. She's changed her story so many times over the years, I don't blame people for being skeptical of her claims. These aren't new allegations either, her family has been publicly disputing her claims as far back as the 60's.
  20. It is a thing of beauty but I can't take credit for it. I think I first saw it on Twitter and quickly added it to my favorites! 😂
  21. So Winnipeg or another league?
