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 😂

Interesting, I noticed looking at the remaining schedule that the Lions actually play both of their final two games before the Bombers step on the field again... by time they line up against Edm on Oct 21, they'll know if it's a must win (not actually bc they can still beat Calgary in game 18... but I'm sure the team would like to lock it up before that)

That alone puts you ahead of a lot of people here... including myself... I have never stepped foot on a (organized) football field... I just starting going to Bomber games as a kid and fell in love with the sport and especially the team... I've had season tickets since 2004 and can't ever imagine not supporting this team... though I'll admit there was a time around 2014 when my patience was starting to wear thin

Quoting myself here as a bit of a mea culpa… after watching it again, I agree with Bubba’s assessment… they possibly could’ve be called holding but Betts made it difficult on himself

The goat and 4 time (5 time?) MOOL gets some things his way every now and then... definitely a missed call though

It almost seems like a parody at this point... “imagine the voice of a professional football team was a clueless asshat who’s more obsessed with their rival than his actual team”… that would be a funny character

I know this is easier to say in hindsight…. But that game will be to clinch first… and coming off a bye… if Edm is within 30 points… that’s a win for them

You said BC won both games without VAJ by a combined score of 47-9... you seem to be forgetting a certain 50-14 loss they suffered...

I could really use a Tim Robinson "Are you sure about that?" meme right about now...

I actually thought Arkells was good in 2021... despite the miming musicians... but adding the Lumineers ruined it... they thought adding a bigger name would help, but their style is just so boring for a half time show... I legitimately don't even remember who it was last year... Let's get Springsteen for 2025!

I might be tempted to say Jeffcoat... the defense is just different when he is in the game... Nichols would be a good choice too... I'm pretty sure he was a CFL all-star in both his first two seasons so I would hope people know who he is by now.

it's about TSN being cheap... Why not have Marshall Ferguson do a west game or Farhan do an east game?... well because that would cost TSN money to fly them over instead of just using who is already there

I don't hate this take... but winning the division and getting the bye is ALWAYS the preferred option... IMO, this is the worst case scenario and still provides a reasonably good path to the GC

When I heard the Green Day news... I immediately thought that is a huge get for the CFL... they're not the at top of the rock charts right now... but they are still one of the biggest rock bands in the world over the last 30 years... well done CFL... I hope we get something even close to that good for 2025...

I don't know specifically what they were scheming... but if the defensive game plan wasn't heavily revolved round "let's stop Oliveira"... then I don't know what your D coaches were doing all week
