Not true. We have the season series against the Lions so we only have to tie them. Stamps should beat the Elks so that would be a tie for 2nd place possibly on the line. Will the Lions beat the Riders on the road? Riders most likely resting starters again, so it looks like a cakce walk for them. The problem is that they play after we play, so it needs to be full steam ahead and let the chips fall where they may. Laughable

I think Week 9 against Toronto (3 DST TDs), Week 11 vs Ottawa (In the last minute Ottawa returned a TD off a field goal, picked off Collaros but Castillo nailed a game winner with time expried), Week 16 vs Ottawa (3 completion game) and this game were all ... fortunate wins. Losses where they were unlucky not to win,... Week 10 vs Calgary, you'd probably like a LDC/BB split, that 2 pt to Schoen would have just tied it, and the Bombers did absolutely nothing after Collaros got hurt in the Banjo Bowl, Bombers had lots of good chances late Week 19 vs the Elks as well. If all of those go your way, Bombers are sitting on 12 or 13 wins... if they all flipped the wrong way they are near the bottom of the league on 5 wins.

Yea, we really do have a pretty nicely designed stadium for sure.

Also when they play at home, PAS has a sunken bowl design which (theoretically) should help mitigate wind conditions. I've often noticed the flags over the concourse blowing in the wind but the flags on the goal posts are hanging limp so it seems to work, at least to a certain extent.

Bud Grant certainly had a strong point back in the day of weather balloons and getting your weather information based on 24 hour old information through the CBC. Nowadays we have up to the minute forecasting available on the internet. Not the same thing. If the wind is likely to die off during the game, our coaches know it before the coin flip.

yeah I called this

Ha ha, nice to see others here getting that rap other than me.

Ticats will lose. We will dress some pr guys and only play starters for a half. Montreal wins. We play Hamilton in Hamilton and win. Alexander gets hurt 1st quarter east finals. We win. Zach is hurt with 10 minutes to go. We up by 13 tho. Strev comes in. Hands it off and runs and we win but he also gets hurt. Wilson starts the grey cup vs BC. Gets hurt. Artopoeous comes in early and goes 20 Of 22 for 300 yards and 4 TDs as we defeat Nathan Rourke and the lions. But Artopoeous is hurt with 3 minutes to go. No other qb roster, Jake Thomas comes in.. goes 4 for 4 for 58 yards and Castillo kicks the winner with zeros on the clock. Bombers 31 lions 28.

I’m not sure about that. Streveler certainly can’t pass a ball. And Zach, well it ain’t hogan under throwing guys by 15 yards or throwing into triple coverage. Thats on Zach. Streveler is finished tho. Zach if he’s willing to manage the game can be effective still. Stev is finished tho. What’s this game plan to make Streveler effective when he can’t pass sign him as a FB if he’s just gonna run .

To be fair there’s a couple losses that probably should have been wins also. Calgary. Sask. I mean those were last moment losses really. Could have changed the standings significantly but nope. We’d be hosting bc or Calgary. But yes does feel like lots of lip gloss. Lipstick on pig wins. Seems our O struggles when the other team has a pass rush and not so much when they don’t.

Why worry about an extra pick when we didn't play either of our top picks on D at all this year?

"Gritty" (adjective) def: willing to stand mutely and run onto field when told.

True. Sad, but true.

This game is more about don’t wants than any thing. Don’t want any key guys hurt. don’t want to see strev play most of the game. don’t want to see the same struggles on O. Don’t want us to fail to excel or get young guys good reps. I could see us starting an absurd amount of canadians for the picks. Few moves I think happen, thomas out for korny Bailey on for a nuck bryant off for vaterpool kola starts eli takes over logan on, vaval starts at db

as usual he nails it.

https://www.cfl.ca/standings-tiebreaker-rules/ The verbiage 'eliminated' makes it sound like the bottom team drops out and that seems to jive with what the analysts have been saying. So in a three way tie between us, Calgary and BC, we drop to 4th, and then it goes head to head for BC/Calgary. It seems more intuitive to say that in the 3 way tie breaker, Calgary gets 2nd because they win the 2nd tier tiebreaker, and then it resolves head to head against BC and Winnipeg but I am just a fan.

I think Montreal will roster their starters but if the TiCats win on Friday (against Ottawa) then Hamilton clinches first place. If thats the case then I could see the Als backups getting more reps.

@DTonOB mentioned that we lost out in any tie scenario that involved Calgary so 4 way or 3 way, it made no difference.

Lip gloss wins for sure...

As much as a turd as the Vaj can be at times....id take him as a starter over anything we currently have

Mtl I doubt rests guys as they have a chance to still get first...so they will bring their A game and based on what we saw vs edm...and last week and the riders scrubs...Likely trounce us and its off to the east...Likely for another trouncing...I hope for us to be the first team to come out of the east as the crossover..and win at home as Eastern Champs...but I also not delusional either

Whew, it's complicated. BC is 2 - 0 vs. Calgary Winnipeg is 2 - 0 vs. B.C.

I believe thats only if a winner isn't determined in a 3 way tie. But because Calgart would be 3-2 and the Lions were 2-2 then Calgary would get 2nd.

There was definitely something about us losing out in a 4 way tie. Not sure about the 3 way tie. But that seems likely as well
