Don’t forget freed up the cash to sign Bighill!

Getting pressure was my biggest concern going into this game... needless to say it is amplified now... I expect Harris to have a lot of time in the pocket... hopefully we have something up our sleeve to mitigate this...

Was there really no good defensive ends in the league this year?? When you spend all season hyping up a guy (Milligan)... you kind of have to put him on the all-star team... at least that's how the CFL media thinks... Sayles, Micah, and Willie clearly prove name recognition is more important that actual playing ability... I would take Nichols over every one of the CFL "all-stars" in the secondary

were Collaros, Harris, and Fajardo ever on the Argos at the same time?... I'm leaning towards Fajardo showed up after Zach left...

This is kind of what I was wondering… if you just copied and pasted the text into your first post… would that satisfy some people here?

I agree with you… we were desperate to end that drought in the late teens… but man one (or ideally two) more would make it so much sweeter…

Mace did finish second in his first year as HC... so it's not completely crazy. I think the winners should be fairly obvious this year: MOP: Brady (but they will try hard to give it to Bo)... MOC: Brady is a lock... MODP: Beverette (even though the league/media desperately wants it to be Milligan)... MOOL: Hunter... MOST (most what?): Janarion... Rookie: Bridges (surprised this LB got the nob over Wilson, oh well)... Coach: Mace (because they have to give Sask something)... BC can't be picky... they can't afford to have VA and Rourke on the roster next year... if they can find a taker for him and his full contract, they have to take it...

the all-star nods are mostly reputation and stats... I don't really put too much emphasis on them... it is good fodder for agents to try and earn raises... Milligan will probably cost the riders 200k next year 😆

both TSN and CJOB really nailed the call on that last play... I was listening at the time since I wasn't near a TV.

Rides fan should be used to seeing the Bombers celebrate in that stadium... so this probably barely registered...

I like Fox on for Haba... Adams can take reps at DE... and we know he's been a load to handle there... if we could find a competent Canadian DE to include in the rotation (which still might be Hubert but obviously the teams feels he needs some more seasoning first) we could get back to having a dominant D-line... which was so key to our success in '19 and '21

I'd prefer Wilson just stay on the IR... Ayers back would be nice but Coles fills that spot nicely too... Getting Fox in the lineup would also be a nice boost... but unfortunately I feel it will be at the expense of Adams.

technically not sell outs... just crowds of 30,000+... which is impossible to Montreal, Hamilton (I think) and Toronto to even achieve.... gif still applies not really... Cole started out as a teamer last year and worked his was into the defensive rotation... he was expected to contribute more this year but he's been injured most of this year

definitely don't hate watching those highlights!

I don't mind the changes... I like that Kelly has usurped the Hallets as the next man up at S... though if we're using another Canadian in the secondary, it would be nice to put another American on the DL... problem is if we hypothetically dressed Fox and scratched one of Thomas or Schmek... what Canadian comes on the roster? We basically have no options at this time ... the team really needs to upgrade Canadian depth this offseason

still get chills thinking about that play! did he?... I could've sworn it was Rose scooping it to Wilson for the INT... unless there's anther part of the play I'm not remembering speaking of chills!

Big Stan is the last (most likely ever) person to play for the Bombers that is older than me... I need to him last at least a few more years!

Harris 38... if we're splitting hairs... and I will defend to the death anyone born in 1986 is NOT THAT OLD!!!

I know your schtick is to defend every Canadian player to the death... but I think you completely missed my point... I agree Ford is great but my point is it just shows the quality of our defensive backs when the leading INT guy is not even the best db on the team... Not sure if I understand your second point... you can't name the boundary halfback? is this a joke?... you don't know Deatrick Nichols?... one of the best DBs in the league the past 4 years? Is that the guy you can't name?

Put the O in MOP... as in the "outstanding" in "most outstanding player"... though the correct saying is "putting the O in MOP"... but it's Sask so I don't want to set the bar too high

I'd have Bonds and Nichols ahead of him... the reason Bonds doesn't have sexy stats is because no one throws at him... why does no one throw at him? because he always has his receiver locked down Caveat: I'm no expert at anything... just my opinion

The funny thing about Ford for MODP... is I'm not even sure he's the second best DB on our team... nevermind the best

I agree... give the Riders all the individual awards for all I care... all I care about is the Bombers preparing for a game on Nov 17... while the Riders are at home watching

I know it would ne funny if Sask ends up with the worst QB in this shuffle... but I just don't see that happening... Sask would re-sign Harris before signing McCheese.... and that would be the right move

unfortunately that might not be possible with a few injuries last game... I guess we'll find out later in the week... I'll be honest... I don't hate that the riders won last week (other than the fact that I generally hate the riders winning).... now we gotta keep playing meaningful football and have a chance to lock up first, at home, in front of a sold out crowd, on what should be a beautiful Oct evening... couldn't be better!
