The part I find funniest... is they were supposed to be loading up for a home Grey Cup this year... this was their idea of going "all in"... with THAT roster... I don't see it happening this year... unless Edmonton offers up a good package... They won't potentially help a division rival in Sask or BC... Mtl and Tor are locks for the playoffs this year... and there's no reason for them to move on from MBT or Harris at this point... Hamilton has hitched their wagon to Evans for at least this year... Burke in Ottawa won't make any major trades before the offseason when he can consult with his new HC... But Ottawa could be the Bo wildcard... if they bring in a coach from Calgary's staff (maybe Killam?)... maybe he would like to bring Bo over, or work in tandem with Masoli (not sure his contract situation)

He actually prefers to go by his christian name... Spitty McEyeGouge

This is definitely not correct... Sask is a long way away from clinching a crossover spot... Ham can still finish 8-10, meaning Sask would have to be at 9 wins to clinch a crossover... and an Edm loss means nothing for the crossover... I think a win and Edm loss means Sask finishes no worse than 4th in the west... which means nothing.

The two games between Wpg and BC could end up making a difference… if the bombers go 1-3 (unlikely as that is) and BC goes 4-2 with two wins against the bombers… BC will be first. I honestly don’t think it’s a bad thing if the first game against BC is still meaningful… even if we lock up first in that game then we go bye, meaningless game, bye, west final… that’s a month between meaningful games… Bombers survived a long lull last year but didn’t look quite like the same team in the WF and the first three quarters of the GC.

he finally got something right for once... In Rita's defense... Reinbold probably had it coming 😂

is this one of the guys already announced or someone else?

I would love for BC to play a nice, domed home game in Vancouver.... throw the ball up 40 times... everyone is nice and warm, having a great time... then have to come to Winnipeg and play in -20... 😏

Interesting thought about this Hamilton win... will it project them to a strong final third of the season to lock up a playoff spot?... I've been thinking for a while that Sask is all but assured the cross over... but that's when I thought they'd finish 9-9 or 8-10... now it's entirely possibly Sask doesn't win again this year... they play in Winnipeg, in Hamilton and the a back-to-back with Calgary... if Calgary has any hope at second, I see them taking both of those games... even if Sask ends up 7-11, Hamilton needs to finish the season 3-2 and Montreal 2-4 to block the cross over...

Still have one more bye... in between BC games... and likely one after that too

No no probably no significant? no Probably no no no probably how did I do??

Keeping in mind that BC likely has something to play for in the last couple games against the bombers… and the bombers are likely locked into first at that point…

Funnny enough it’ll really depend on Calgary's playoff status… if Calgary is locked into 2nd at their season ending back to back… the riders could probably take at least one…. If the stamps have something to play for, I’d guess two losses for the riders there

As much as I would enjoy seeing the Riders lose this game.. I think Edm just sucks too much... they truly put the L in L'ks...

He can stay in my basement... he can choose between the extra bed on my son's room or a mattress on the floor of my office... sweet options!

I'm pretty sure Chris Van Zyl can come down with the blue flu in every game against the Bombers since the 2019 Grey Cup...

Now I know this article has to be fake news because there's no way that Chicago and Houston was ever considered a super bowl preview 😂

I know the bar is set low on what we give the Riders org credit for... but literally every team in professional sports would allow their player to attend something like this. But I do agree with your first comment and wish his family all the best... as much as I love making fun of the riders and their players... that earlier comment about his "wife or his dog" was was pretty low brow/classless

Some people are misinterpreting what Baily does on this team... he does get targets... he makes clutch catches... he does make very difficult contested catches... he does all the little things really well (which has been discussed ad nauseum).... I don't think he disappears at all, just maybe on the stats sheet... the only thing Baily hasn't done this year is put up monster stats... but is there a better receiver than Baily at making contested 12 yard catches on a scramble play on 2nd and long?... I want him on the field all day on game day.

Somebody around here said Holm was a good cover guy when he played in ND (I can’t remember if it’s UND or NDSU)… I can’t say I really noticed him in the last game… and that’s kind of a good thing for a db… since he’s been around since day one and not just for the last week… I like giving him a shot against Hamilton and if he can’t handle that team then time to move on…

I think you're right about "heat of the moment" and "instincts kicking in"... if they had left him the clock would've just run out. yes you are correct... but in this case the player wasn't giving himself up, he just went down as he was making the catch... I think if the Bombers hadn't touched him, Slimy is correct and the clock would've just run out

Glenn Suitor referred to what Jones is doing as a "21 week pre-season"

I'm not the one who said he would be a bust... but I wouldn't totally disagree... starting his career with the Jets doesn't help his case...

Give or take around the same time Maston was signed also... IIRC

so in this scenario, that would mean only BC can catch the Bombers... so realistically it should say a Bomber win and Calgary loss clinches first place
