They look very good with Davis Alexander, so so otherwise. Can they keep him healthy?

I think MTL is likely the best team in the league. Id rather go west and have them in the gc than go there

And Bob Irving on X keeps bragging about how great modern ownership is today.

Yep, that’s been the legacy of the cfl leadership for a long time. the only modern time they made a big swing was the awful expansion era and that was just greed. This one, is very similar to that but more save some teams oriented. No easy solutions, and no desire from the troubled franchises to do any of what’s needed

Bud Grant 🤣

Jay's are leading 11-0...at the bottom of the fourth

pretty positive that that injury from a couple of seasons ago may have screwed his chances

Burke quit coaching as a Head Coach. He had no talent & he knew it. So, he coached like it. He inspired no one. Great example by the way. Job well done.

The problem with the CFL is they're like a bunch of ostriches. BOG's stuck their heads in the ground ignoring all the issues that caused fans to quit watching & attending games. Thinking that everything will just magically fix itself. Well, these problems never left & half a century later, the league is in a steep decline. Now, they have to do things we never thought possible even a few months ago. It's like the guy who feels a bump in the wrong place & doesn't see a doctor because he's afraid he may have cancer. The problem is, if he doesn't see a doctor because he's scared & it is cancer, he'll have even more problems later. If he sees a doctory & tumour is disgnosed early, treatment may save his life as it was spotted early. Ignoring symptoms will cause more problems than actually seeing the doctor. That's the CFL for you. Ignoring a problem leads to even more problems down the road.

Find me one coach this site didn't complain about? Ok you got me on DC Tim Burke. Everybody loved him. Why don't we try him out at head coach?

This game would have been a Don Cherry VHS video back in the day.

Ville experiment is over...

Fwiw, +7 for a high next Sat in the 780.... Game is 2-5pm so it'll be chilly by the end be of the game. Wife and I are likely headed up there for it... Not sure we'll have the full ice fishing gear on, but wouldn't be far from it...

Here's hoping its a win for us on Saturday.

Gotta beat edm, and it should be a good game. The old trope of the east division being a free pass to the gc every year hasn’t worked out for west teams. That said, I feel like that path would be the best case for us. Hosting a play off game is always a big deal, but the next best outcome imo, is the east.

Yeah, Bombers need to beat the Elks next Saturday. It would clinch them a playoff spot and allows them to control their own fate.

Guess Ford and Chibri are sticking around full time

Balls

All very real possibilities... Just have to take care of our own ****.

So interesting to think about, if Hamilton beats Calgary on the 11th, the Bombers control their destiny for the 2nd spot in the West, and that result locks in Saskatchewan to 1st in the west and Hamilton to 1st in the East... so the Week 20 game is a home against a Riders team with nothing to play for but not get injured, and Week 21 is a home game against the Als who have nothing to play for but not getting injured.

Imo, they would work it like mlb used to with the al and nl. You have an inter league stretch and play home stadium rules, then maybe you have a championship tourney mid season out of that like the nba does. If they did a big merge, the ratio 3 downs etc probably all go. It would probably be the death of every thing we hold dear. Time will tell, but i have no faith in this bog/commish as far as protecting/being stewards of our game.

sounds like a hell of a game last night

The UFL season doesn't really work in Canada. Even if it was training camp in April, games May through August.

There are many questions that need answering first. What about the ratio? The timing of the season between the 2 leagues? The UFL starts training camp in February. We start in May. Spring in Canada isn't spring, especially in Western Canada.. it's still winter & bloody cold. Then there's the number of games the CFL plays. If we drop to 10 then most CFL players will be released as the revenue to pay these contracts will no longer be there as its based on 18 games. The UFL wants to be done by July. We want to be done mid November. Getting an agreement done for a merger with the UFL will be impossible with the CFLPA as it means the probable end of the ratio. They'll strike or take court action. So, I don't think a merger will be that easy. I don't believe for a second a merger is done. Down the road, maybe? The UFL said it's looking to expand to 16 teams by 2030. So, yes, it could happen. However. there's a lot on both sides to overcome.
