Lucky for this guy that he has career prospects outside of football... he can make 2x3 times more money immediately working in a comp Sci job... however the XFL will still find many players who have nothing outside of football... this is their last chance to make it to the big show...

I hate that this stat/correlation always gets brought up.... you would think "smart football people" would see they are making a reverse correlation... anyone with half a brain knows team runs more when they are winning.... the correlation is not teams run = wins... it's team is winning = they run more... "no one seems to know, right now" - Shania Twain

So your hypothetical pre-game speech would be: "alright guys, in reality, we have no chance at second place enough though it is still possible. That said, we're going to treat this like a pre-season game and try out a bunch of rookies. LET'S GO OUT THERE AND WIN! WHO'S WITH ME!" You seem like an inspiring leader 😁 Also, what exactly about the roster indicates they're giving up?... the subtractions from last week are Streveler (injured), Fenner (injured) and Rios (played like hot garbage last week and people constantly complain O'Shea doesn't bench players for poor play)... Looks to me like they're just trying to win a football game...

I highly doubt it... once Evans got it figured out (he was pretty bad the first few games) their offense has arguable been better than with Masoli...

I've mentioned this before... but IMO the best way to "solve this problem" is award #1 and #2 to the division winners and let the rest play where they fall... So right now it's 1. Hamilton (bye) 2. Calgary (bye) 3. Sask (home) vs 6. Edmonton 4. Winnipeg (home) vs 5. Montreal Obviously we, as Bomber fans, would prefer a home game against Montreal to a road game in Sask or Calgary... if Montreal happened to win it maintains an East and West semi final... there may be some years there's an "undeserving" bye team but that's just the way it goes... the team that gets a bye still wins their game the majority of the time so you'd very likely still maintain an east vs west Grey Cup... In this example it would change to 1. Calgary (bye) 2. Ottawa (bye) 3. BC (home) vs 6. Hamilton 4. Winnipeg (home) vs 5. Edmonton I think we still would've seen a Calgary vs Ottawa grey cup that year... EDIT: I read the 3Down article and I see the author does make this suggestion

The way Desjardins pooched the QB situation last year leads me to believe he'll do anything to "fix" it this off season...

I get the feeling @rebusrankin was speaking a little tongue in cheek...

here's the thing though... everyone realizes (including the Bomber coaching staff) that getting second place is extremely unlikely.... but it is still possible... so you want our coaching staff to just treat this game like it doesn't matter... even though second place is still a possibility.... that would be quite the loser mentality... tonight should be about 1) winning and 2) prepping for the playoffs... in that order...

Knight has barely finished his first cup of coffee in the CFL and you want him to get live action already...

I agree with basically everything you said here... but I'm pretty sure MBT is in his 30s...

Fun fact... I met and spoke to Matt Sheridan not long after that game (as in, less than a year)... and I don't remember the specific details but he mentioned it was actually Dom Picard that f***ed up the snap that caused the fumble... so I guess considering the source, take that for what's it worth...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but isn't the first letter/number combo the LOS?... so in the three I highlighted it would be Montreal 36, 36 and 35... those are not in the red zone...

I still think the chain is kinda cheesy... but this is a nice story to go behind it...

would've been nice... considering we were up by 20 points after three quarters... 🤣...😫 you know I wanted to bring this up.... we know Rider fans can be insufferable... especially the keyboard warriors... but the good folks from Sask Power are in Manitoba right now helping our fine people at Manitoba Hydro to try and get this problem fixed... still thousands without power in the province and Manitoba, Sask, Ontario and Minnesota have come together to get everyone up and running again... So a big thanks to Sask Power for their help...

I was happy to see Jenarion Grant get some offensive rep last weekend.... he didn't do a whole lot but when you've got a guy with that skill set... I think you gotta try and take advantage of it...

I actually laughed when I saw Sask's remaining schedule... I bunch of people around here have mentioned a few times that Sask has benefited from a weak schedule but I didn't put too much thought into it... then I see they get to face Danny O'Brien and Logan Kilgore for their last three games... with a chance to lock up first.... you guys might be on to something 🤣

Reading some of these comments... it's easy to tell why the Bombers never develop a QB... If you're expecting a 2nd year guy with limited pro and college starts to be perfect... well then I'm not sure what to tell you... I'd also like to see more from Streveller... but to give up on him already would be a mistake...

XFL setting up a realistic salary structure.... they learned from their own mistakes and the mistakes of the AAF... probably still enough money to get guys interested in one last shot...

I'd rather have an actual QB then a receiver as an emergency back up QB... Unless he's still hurt... there's literally no harm to dressing him as the third stringer...

I'm not saying he should play... but I think he should dress... Even if he dressed, I'd still think we'd see McGuire as an injury replacement...

Collaros not dressing...

Not a huge fan of Collaros at this point in his career... but Walters didn’t give up much... so there’s nothing to lose here...

I'd be really nervous to take on Collaros... I don't want to see a QB die wearing a BB jersey (or any jersey for that matter)... please Zach, for the sake of your health, just retire....

BC wins this easily... BC has a QB... Ottawa has a ....

I think by now, there have been enough examples of vets being cut to dispel this fan-created rumour....
