Not only does Calgary need to run the ball to have any shot... they need to be able to get an early lead... if BC gets down early they are going to rely even more on the home run shots... because they don't have much else for offense... Calgary needs to control ball possession, maintain the lead, and defensively win 50/50s at about a 75/25 rate.... that said, I still think BC wins fairly easily

it's too bad I can specifically remember our three non-offense touchdowns... Grant vs Sask, Houston vs Cgy, and Biggie vs Edm... would prefer to have so many, I can't possibly remember them all won't somebody please think of the knockdowns!!

The award is "most outstanding Offensive Lineman"... not most outstanding lineman

Who I think will win... Kelly, Betts, Oliveira, Hardrick, Leake, Stiggers, Dinwiddie.... so 4 Argos, 2 Bombers, and 1 Lion... makes sense based on teams records...

I had no idea Lefrance was still in the league... I don't love to rehash these memories... but to me there were 5 major moments where if any ONE of those were reversed, the Bombers would've won: 1. Leigghio missed kick 2. Prukop 4th quarter INT 3. Collaros 4th quarter INT 4. not stopping the Argos on 2nd and 20 5. Jeffcoat injury (I'm convinced this would have subsequently also reversed #4)

It's funny how the league always decides to favour the teams that are already good...

I only listened for about 20 mins... but this seems like a fantastic podcast... might help that Bob was on (unless he's a regular)... and providing full league wide coverage, not just the Ticats was nice.

There have been people who have pointed out specific plays where Jackson made a significant contribution... but I don't recall anyone saying he was significant to the overall run game

I think, for me, the worst part is his justification that Betts' impact was "staggering".... was it staggering how invisible he was for about 6-8 games this year too?... If "impact in games" is your barometer... the winner is Brady by a mile

I think the problem people have is not that Kelly wasn't very good... by all accounts he was... but Brady had a historically good season for a Canadian RB... so you'd think a QB would have to have something better than a "very good" season to beat him out... but this award was already decided in July... so hopefully it'll fire up our guys when it matters the most

This is a fun game... I'll play along 1. It's kind of a stupid play... but then again, it's one of those quirky CFL things that is so lovable... let's keep it 2. I think Zach's leash will be very long... Unless he's fumbling and throwing picks left, right and centre... or hurt... I don't see a scenario where he's pulled 3. If we're ignoring the money... you'd have to think Streveler is the better option... though I am very intrigued by @Goalie's suggestion of a Brown/Streveler combo... maybe we win it all again this year and Zach decides he's had enough... if we could somehow secure both those guys... I would be very happy with that option

I hope Brady rips off a 20 yard run on his first play from scrimmage... and they pull him with exactly 2000 all purpose yards for the year

I know it's much easier to say this in hindsight... but Brady is 2 yards shy of 1500 rushing and 20 yards shy of 2000 all purpose... he'll get into the game just to reach those milestones.

If two guys go down at any one position in any game... that's always going to be a problem

Don't need a back up NI receiver... we are currently starting 9 Canadians so if any receiver gets hurt, McCrae and Grant are available to fill in

Don't worry... this year's version of the Stamps will make sure it's a close battle to the end

well the one win scenario would've had to have been against Calgary... but basically, yes...

Amazingly, Sask basically just needed to win one game down the stretch... and they might fail at that...

Yes of course any team can win on any given day... but here's few stats to chew on over the last three seasons... - Bombers coming off a bye: 7-0... 9-0 if you include playoffs - Bomber against Edmonton: 7-0 - 2021 first place clincher against BC: Bomber 45 - Lions 0 - 2022 first place clincher against Edm: Bombers 48 - Elks 11 I like their chances... despite all the legitimate reasons to be nervous...

I've seen him on the sidelines at home games this year...

In the grand scheme of things… 2013 is not that long ago….

Farhan was very good in the Bomber/Lions game… the only time he was unnecessarily BC biased was at the very end when he said “he’s gonna score” about ten yards early on the Rhymes final play

I was standing up during overtime... watching it three days later

maybe in that they can try to sign whoever doesn't make the Bombers...

Oh we will enjoy the 100th anniversary... and there will be 30,000+ people there 😁 Riders fans are funny in that way... not sure how the fan base of the most inept franchise in all of professional sports became so arrogant 😂
