WinnipegGordo Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 3 minutes ago, Noeller said: Stamps tailgate area is virtually entirely fan driven and it is fun. I don't believe they have a team run area like the bombers do, but the "private" on site tailgating is fun. I've done a few of them, and people play games and listen to music and BBQ and all that... It's a good time. I am sure it's a good time but there is no way it's the scale of Winnipeg's unofficial tailgating. It would be cool if the Bombers sent up a drone on Banjo Bowl to showcase the extent of the tailgating going on in the multiple lots around the stadium.

But man I am tired of them trying to buy a winner. The league really needs to make adjustments to the cap in the next cba, and until then the bombers need to start spending competitively on free agents that aren’t ours.

Rourke isn't much better than what they already had as VA was playing good football for them, and Betts is a one trick pony who was badly exposed last year by the Bombers. Other teams seem to have trouble with him, but we gave them a blue print on how to make him look like a tool out there. RUN AT HIM. Betts can't stop the outside run. He doesn't turn the play back inside. He can only pass rush. Bigblue204 and Piggy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bunch of entitled & self indulgent pricks in BC. They're just laughing at the rest of the league.

This. How many teams are in financial jeopardy? How many franchises can’t draw a decent crowd? Now the next top qb to get a deal is going to be comparing to 850k. We just saw how a run on WRs crippled the market and some teams caps. I mean bc screwed up the market and their team on Riley’s contract not that long ago.

Betts doesn't play in the playoffs. Depending on the draft yr. I'd argue yes the picks are worth more. But that's really getting into the nit picky area of things. Their pushing for a home GC appearance so I get the all out mentality. Their were games where BC was starting 10 and 11 Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah BC has played the majority of their snaps on D with 5 Canadians on the field. They lost some Cottoy snaps but Mackie took some of those. Usually 5-6 on O. We'll have a hard time being anywhere near them if Rourke plays the rest of the season. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont recall.... did they actually change the rules and now allow Canadian QBs to be included in the number of Canadians on the field?

wbbfan Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Any thoughts on not having a fnf game for ld weekend? I know they like the double header and I feel like every one wants to play the Monday, but Friday football in the summer is the best. I’d prefer one game a day Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday. Could have a mini show before pre Game or some thing with highlights from the ld history and a year by year recap. Obviously that would be much better for 3 of the Games because those have soo much great history. Mark H., WildPath, bb1 and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 YEah I was thinking tonight it's criminal that they don't have a friday night game. Friday night is sort of their marquee night.

A week or so ago, they didn't have a game on TSN1. It was on TSN4. Why not TSN1? They had a MLB game. Oh, the Blue Jays? Nope. Something like Baltimore at Cleveland. Like WTF?

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Also, not a fan of the panel switching in & out depending on the evening of the weekend. Or getting weekends off. They only work half a year & I presume they're well paid. Milt & Matty I can understand as Dunigan lives in Dallas & Milt in Atlanta. So, the commute must be a pain in the ass. The rest of the panel live in Toronto while LaPo lives in Ottawa. Lots of people work weekends. They're on camera four days during the summer & after this weekend twice a week until Grey Cup. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were injured when they played us. Castillo had his 1 bad game vs Toronto. Bombers could have 3 more wins. Maybe 2 more losses tho also so it’s a strange season all around. Ottawa has a good QB who gets hit lots still. Edited September 3 by Goalie Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I might agree based on +/-, but in this case I think it’s due to games with qb injuries, and being a young good team they’ve won once by a healthy margin and been routed twice. Other wise they are winning close games. They are a ball possession offence not a downfield team aggressive team Edited September 3 by wbbfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
