Remember that announced attendance for them is seats sold, not fans in the building. And they have a locked in 13,000 for every game with their season ticket base. So a walk up of 886 is kind of shocking. I sensed a shift when they started the quarter pack sales this year, and read an article in The Athletic that said all teams were struggling post-pandemic to sell full season packages, as fans became used to not attending in person and saving their money. So they were reverting to limited game packages. The second wave of 5 year renewals is up this year, and I know a few who are opting out. I think the lack of newness, the long term commitment in price, the individual ticket prices, the sheer amount of nights it eats up a year and all ancillary costs, are all leading to a downward trend. Curious how low it would go if the team were actually bad.

Everyone just cool out. COOL OUT!

I’m no doctor but know a bit about knee injuries. Given where he grabbed his leg in the back, could also be hamstring tear or posterior cruciate ligament. But I suspect we will hear more if it is season-ending or requires surgery. As for Brady, not all of us were condemning him early on. Actually, I was very impressed in the last Edmonton game how he was timing his blocks better a la Harris, and hitting the hole aggressively and confidently when he made his reads. We have a great luxury in letting him grow into the role over the next 4 games with less than the usual pressure given our lofty standing. And Augustine is most capable as well. A platoon style approach would not bother me at all. Keep them all fresh and not worn down while also giving them both healthy reps. Hey, that reminds me, I just picked up your Xmas present. 😉

Bring back LaPo! Running game was gangbusters under his watch. 🤣

👍

@Rich, I got my votes in early, so not a personal concern, but it appears the poll was locked at 6:30 am this morning when you indicated it would be closed at 6:30 pm.

Note to self, don’t hire Goalie as your agent. 😉

PVR the HNIC and take in the glorious first place coronation in person.

Health care workers are now getting their third (booster) shots, so many average citizens who are double vaxxed could be due.

Not too crazy. NHLers are travelling a lot in the US, where infection totals are way higher and vaccination rates are definitely lower.

Who were you thinking of specifically?

No worries, thanks for the intel.

OK, you said confirmed so I thought I had missed an announcement. Last I heard was ”doubtful” for Saturday.

Mourtada has a better chance of hanging around than we have of seeing Streveler back here this year. Where was this news? I did not see or hear anything from the club.

Well, not part-time, star, not Bailey, Lawler or Bryant, and would force us to shuffle our game day roster a bit are all hints to my mind. Not trying to bust your chops here Mike, we all love the inside info you give, just don’t want you to get any heat from the club for discussing an inside issue that does have a privacy component to it, just for the sake of satisfying the curiosity of the chattering masses here, myself included. We can all guess names and if nothing is said, no one is closer to figuring out the masked singer. Like you have said, should be a non-issue by playoff time anyway.

She’s not at home right now, is she?

If you don’t want to out him, then you really should not be dropping hints. It is a health privacy issue in a way.

Bombers keep upping the ante on the rest of the CFL.

You got me. I’m James Bond. Maybe, but there are a bunch of non-vaxxed NFL players and as far as I know no mandate. Just spitballin’ with my guess. Could be anyone, But if it is someone currently on the team who has been here a while, they would have a pretty isolated life if not vaccinated, given the passport requirements to get into most public places, including IG Field.

Castillo? He has been down in the States.

I know that’s what they say, but if it is true then their hot takes and insights are nothing special. Montreal has a QB who they could trade for good value, Winnipeg is the best team right now, Mourtada can’t make field goals, If Ottawa traded Ward they should seek a high price? Nothing but opinion that I would see on this site (and presumably others) on any given day.

Why do I always get the feeling reading these comments that the “insiders” are just random fans on various team sites or beat writers whose wisecracks or observations were deemed the best fodder for posting on 3down?

6 posts in the last hour, all saying the same thing. Who exactly are you debating here anyway?

So…..the LaPo playbook?
