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

JT seems to be starting to find his groove again, looked really good on that pass for the 4th goal. Other than that meltdown in that one period against Dallas, they've looked really solid so far.

The one thing people miss is that they don't take the winner of the tiebreak scenario, they dump the loser. So because Winnipeg has the worst round-robin W% of the group they get dropped, and then the tiebreaker resolves between CGY-BC

Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 6PM Standings below:

Winnipeg has a 2-3 record against BC and Calgary. Lions are 2-2, so they have a higher winning percentage and would get 3rd in the West. Even if their record was the same in the games with the other tied clubs, the Lions also would have the next tie breaker which is points for and against in their games with Winnipeg and Calgary. Lions are plus 16 and Bombers are minus 16.

I didnt realize this until it was too late lol

I thought I read something about how if there's a 3 way tie, we finish last of that group... Can't remember why

One of those predicted scenarios is incorrect. Winnipeg wins, BC, Calgary loses - Bombers finish third. All 3 teams would finish 10 - 8, Bombers have the season series vs. B.C.

It all comes down to coaching and how the coaches deal with it.

I feel like all home teams win next week .. Hamilton, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Sask all win.... I think the Riders play starters for at least part of the game to get them reps....
