JCon Posted June 8, 2019 Report Posted June 8, 2019 Preseason is wrapping up, so it's time for some predictions. I'm not going to check but I believe I had the Stamps beating the Redblacks in the Grey Cup last season. Again, I'm not going to check. Let's see some predictions: Standings Playoffs Grey Cup Champs Awards Let's see 'em.
Goalie Posted June 8, 2019 Report Posted June 8, 2019 Ill say this... Bombers end the drought wbbfan and blueingreenland 2
TrueBlue4ever Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 Calgary 13-5 - purely a reputation pick, but they have reloaded on the fly for so long I won't remove them from tiop spot until they do it themselves Winnipeg 12-6 - All the positive hype scares me to be honest, because the west will be tight, and if they stumble at all the wolves will be at the door in this city, not sure how they will handle the negative pressure if that happens. BC 11-7 - May start slow, but Reilly will inject a spark into that team and fanbase, and they - will be "the lower seed team no one wants to face" come playoff time. But injuries and little back-up depth could hurt them lots. Edmonton 10-8 - Great job re-building quickly after being gutted in free agency, but they were 9-9 last year, and not sure they upgraded anywhere. Saskatchewan - 10-8 - Will be better than anyone here will give them credit for, but not sure they overcome the defection of Chris Jones, since his defence was so integral to their winning record last year. But I don't see them being the tire fire like out East (happy to be wrong though) Hamilton 9-9 - The class of the East, which is like being the tallest midget (my apologies for the un-PC term, but that is the quote). Toronto 8-10 - Franklin may just carry this team offensively and surprise with Derel Walker at his disposal. Ottawa 6-12 - Jennings will briefly inject some life into the team when he replaces Davis at QB by week 8, but the resurgence will be over by Labour Day. Long year in the nation's capital. Montreal 2-16 - I give them one upset win at home somewhere around week 11, and then the last home game gimme when their opponent rests their starters. Bombers over BC, Toronto over Edmonton Calgary over Bombers (since I always get my predictions wrong, you can all thank me now for jinxing the Stamps), Hamilton over Toronto Hamilton over Calgary in the Grey Cup Reilly MOP over Masoli Bighill MODP Harris MOCdn Bigblue204 1
Rod Black Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Standings West: Winnipeg, Calgary, B.C., Edmonton, Saskatchewan. East: Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal. Winnipeg beats Hamilton in the Grey Cup. Harris wins most outstanding Canadian. MOS wins Coach of the Year. Gray rookie of the year. Captain Blue crashes the biplane in the north end zone, it’s totalled. Lucky performs a new style touchdown celebration into the north stands. After a week of celebrating the Grey Cup victory, Wade crashes through the doors at Royal Fork Buffet. He was not in a vehicle. It was bound to happen that scandal rocks Buzz and Boomer living arrangements. Edited June 10, 2019 by Rod Black MC, Bigblue204, itchy and 5 others 5 1 2
WBBFanWest Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Don't normally do this, but I'll give it a try, acknowledging that luck greatly outplays skill in this sort of thing: The West Calgary - some question marks but until we can routinely beat them, they remain on top Winnipeg - We've got a real shot at it all this year, assuming Nichols regains his 2017 form. Even with 2018 form we should still end up here BC - lots of horses, but it remains to see if they all come together Edmonton - from Reilly to Harris is a pretty big drop off. I think that BC-Edm is really a coin flip in a lot of ways Saskatchewan - because Riders suck The East Hamilton - Not a bad team, but in the east, the tallest midget by far Ottawa - It will all go as Jennings and Davis go, but I like them better than Toronto's stable Toronto - The Raptors win and everybody in TO continues to forget they have a CFL team. Same thing if the Raptors lose. Montreal - the Saskatchewan of the west, except they actually have toothbrushes and indoor plumbing and things other than tractor pulls Playoffs West BC in Wpg - Wpg wins Wpg in Cal - Wpg wins East Edm in Ott - Edm wins Edm in Ham - Ham wins Grey Cup: Wpg beats Ham MOP - Mitchell MODP - Bighill MOCdn - A Harris Edited June 11, 2019 by WBBFanWest Fred C Dobbs, blueingreenland, Bigblue204 and 2 others 5
wbbfan Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 West Winnipeg Calgary BC Edmonton SSK East Ham Mtl Ott Tor Bombers win GC. Bighill wins MOP and MODP Luck wins MoR and Cam judge (say whaaaaaa!) wins MoC. Ottawa cleans house after missing the play offs when Edmonton crosses over. Hamilton wins 10 games, and its the first time in about 100 years the east champ wins 10 or more games. Reed is fired before LD despite the als doing better then expected when new owners take over. blueingreenland 1
Tracker Posted June 10, 2019 Report Posted June 10, 2019 I can see Calgary and Winnipeg battling for first in the west all season. Eskies at 9&9, Riders at 6 & 12 (and probably worse than that) and BC at 10 & 8. I do worry about Nichols, though. Hamilton will carry the East without breaking a sweat. Toronto will be a pleasant surprise but Ottawa will struggle and Montreal....brrrrr. Mr Dee 1

blueingreenland Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Yes, Rod Pederson did predict the Bombers finish 5th in the west this year; however, the new voice of the Riders, Derek Taylor, (today) predicted the Bombers finish 1st!! This is my prediction: East Hamilton Toronto Ottawa Montreal West Winnipeg Calgary SK B.C. Edmonton

TBURGESS Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 As always... read it in a gloomy Eeyore voice. West: Calgary - Won't win as many as last year. BLM is still the difference maker. They are the best until proven otherwise. BC - Reilly will make a huge difference to a team that just missed last year. The defence will take some time to come together. Win or lose the games will be 36-38. Winnipeg - Losing 3 NI all stars will hurt worse than most think. Nichols doesn't get back to his level of play from 2 years ago. Edmonton - Did a good job of reloading in the off season, but Reilly is a huge loss. Riders - Worst QB in the west behind a make shift OL without Jones' defence to bail them out. East: Hamilton - Lost their OC late in the offseason, but had a replacement in house. Can't see any other eastern team coming close. Ottawa - Lost a ton of good players, but are in the right division. Toronto - Will have QB problems all year long, but they're good enough to stay out of the basement. Montreal - Made some good moves, but not enough to get them out of the basement. WSF - BC beats Winnipeg. Reilly breaks our hearts yet again.WF - Calgary beats BC in a high scoring affair.ESF - Ottawa beats Edmonton.EF - Hamilton beats OttawaGrey Cup - Hamilton beats Calgary MOP - MasoliMOC - Harris Bigblue204, Wanna-B-Fanboy, M.O.A.B. and 1 other 4

Wideleft Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 There are going to be some good records in the West this year because the East is 3/4's bad. WEST Winnipeg: 13-5 Calgary: 12-6 BC: 11-7 Edmonton: 10-8 Sask: 4-14 EAST Hamilton: 11-7 Tor: 6-12 Ott: 5-13 Mtl: 4:14 Wpg defeats Cgy at home in Western Final and defeats Hamilton in the Grey Cup.

Firekid Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Tier 1 - The best two teams overall Winnipeg - 1st in the West Calgary - 2nd in the West Tier 2 - Only because they play in the East they will have winning records Hamilton - 1st in the east Toronto - 2nd in the East Tier 3 - These three will battle for the final west spot and crossover BC - 3rd in the West Saskabush - 4th in the West and the crossover team Edmonton - 5th in the west and eliminated and we finally see Jason Maas fired Tier 4 - Will win some but never be in the playoff picture Montreal - Will be better than last season but still struggle but they start their trend upwards. This will be Kavis Reed and company's last season in the league. Ottawa - This will be a long season in Ottawa with a carousel of QBs and more change in the front office. They will be the Montreal of last year without the circus though.
Nolby Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) WEST 1-Winnipeg 13-5 Team has much improved in most departments,oline being only question mark. 2- Calgary 11-7 Lost too many key pieces on defense but still have the major threat in BLM at qb. 3- BC 10-8 Sold the farm to acquire Reilly,team could be a coin toss this year. 4- Edmonton 8-10 lots of change from last years team to this years. Lost arguably the best qb in the league and major receivers,Harris is a downgrade from Reilly. 5- Suckskatchewan 6-12 Still have a recycled and past his prime QB in Callaros,defence will be their only shining light. EAST 1- Hamilton 11-7 The east should be a walk for the Tigercats this year,much superior team to everyone else in the East. 2- Toronto 9-9 Upgrades at receiver should help their QBs. 3- Ottawa 8-10 on the cusp of being a tire fire,lost many key players and Jennings is not gonna be their answer at the helm. 4 Montreal 5-13 just let go of Sherman,they're a fully blown tire fire. WSF- Bc upsets Calgary WF- Winnipeg beats up on BC ESF- Toronto beats Ottawa EF- Hamilton destroys in the battle of Ontario GREY CUP Winnipeg 37 Hamilton 17,this has to be the Bombers year....right???
