Bombers: *have a road grading o-line and probably the best DE duo in the league* National media: "will the bombers make playoffs in 2021?"

So no longer required to wear masks indoors? Bet your ass i still will be.

I love the idea of slowly opening things up and returning to normal but the indoor mask mandate should be the last restriction lifted in my mind. It's effective and easy to follow.

Well, I won't be taking my family to the theatres or out to a restaurant anytime soon, unless the private businesses step up and say 2x vax are required.

All I can say is, O'Shea and the Bombers will prove everyone wrong at the end of the season when they are hoisting the Cup once again.

Can't blame the national media. We've been 3rd or worse 7 of the last 8 years including last season.

Speed stole my thunder. Down to two days left. There is only one choice for today, and it is non-negotiable.

MVP: Fajardo Coach of the year: Craig Dickenson MODP: AC Leonard ROTY: whoever, it doesn't matter, they're all going to make an impact. MOL: Boyko and I'm talking about league-wide awards, not just the riders obviously

Seriously, WTF is the reason for lifting the mask mandate? What is the compelling reason those ******* people think that trumps science, good morals, competent governance and oh... I don't know- not ******* KILLING people. ******* assholes the lot of them.

He's actually agreeing with someone (the national media in this case)... that is extremely odd.

I also would love to have seen them link lifting restrictions and vaccination rates in each community or RHA or RM . ( Winkler I'm looking at you ! ) Then you pull enforcement officers from where they are no longer needed and and enforce the hell out of them. But that would take a large set of Kahunas which our current Gov lacks .

plus...depth to back it up....keys to prolonged success

******* idiots. The lack of vaccine requirement and mask mandate basically guarantees my unvaccinated kids won't be going to any movies, bowling alleys or arcades any time soon. Christ.

3DownNation contributors fearlessly predict the 2021 CFL standings | 3DownNation These guys seem to have brains, except for the two Rider fan boys Ludwig and McGuire,. 6 of the other 7 guys have the Riders last or second last in the west.

I've been trying to figure out the Riders in 2 for a half hour now, and the best I can come up with is that they were 1st in the West in 2019, so the CFL just put the top 2 regular season teams in the top 2 spots. That's all I've got, because that Riders team is going to be BAD this year...

Turd Down is asking the question today ....'will the Cats go unbeaten this season??'......I hope we have an answer for them Thurs. that sends the message a big fat 'NO' right from the get go...Time for another Ham. beat down

Correct. Matson and Bighill with the tackle, Taylor submarines the line and destroys the blocking. Just a beautiful play all around. My all time favourite game I have seen live in person.

I will continue to believe that the Riders suck.

The United States consumes 80% of its corn within the country. The subsidies are basically a supply management system. You know, this Canadian thing that Americans like to criticize.

A heads-up to the faithful. TSN (Winnipeg channel 1038) is airing CFL preseason special tonight at 7:00 (Fantasy Football) and 8:00 (CFL preview).

Welcome to AB-East, apparently.... sorry gang. Con government's gonna Con..... MB/SK/AB all the same, unfortunately. I'm definitely still wearing my mask even though double vaxxed. Prepare to see your case counts shoot up again, tho not as bad as previous waves thanks to vaccines.

Pretty fair assessment overall - everyone who had Winnipeg low was basically saying the same thing - They weren't sure about Collaros for a whole season and weren't sure about a 34 year old Andrew Harris... Given how much the team has relied on Harris being exceptional in the past and the fact that we all had the same thing to say about Collaros @ SSK in 2019 it's a fair assessment. The one guy with the hot take basically said the entire division was going to be 7-7 tied with Winnipeg on the losing end of the tiebreakers... I personally think he's being too generous with BC's chances and too high on Edmonton but it's not like he was calling us trash either.

Quality OL+Quality DL = Football success. See 2019 Blue Bombers, 2020 TB Bucs. Reporters this one is free for you since so many of you seem to know Jack Squat.

Not learning lessons from other jurisdictions- check Rewarding Selfish Assholes who don't get vaccinated-check **** this government

What's with these murder clowns? Kids under 12 can't get a vaccine and they're desperate to get them sick.

Washington wheat crop: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wither-away-die-us-pacific-northwest-heat-wave-bakes-wheat-fruit-crops-2021-07-12/?fbclid=IwAR3kmRtT9mHVZGHy7FsITEyK2MTVsw3UHhZzMBpWLLtVASufTmE-aLHnh2M It's not that they won't have any crop at all, but they won't have the yield or quality they were used to, especially after the 2020 bumper crop. We'll all be harvesting less this year.

Bombers will lose the opener, and I will never be so happy to be so angry.

Lawler will be one of 5 receivers in the CFL over 1000 yards this year Jefferson leads the league in sacks Oliviera outrushes Harris Desjarlais is a CFL divisional all-star, as are Lawler, Jefferson, Bryant, Nichols (Deatrick) and Collaros

Gotta say I'm liking these injury reports. Not sure I 100% believe them, but they are way better than we used to get.

Could watch that hit on repeat for the rest of my life.

Alrighty with the preseason done and the regular season only a few short days away its time to start the Lock of the Week contest. Rules are pretty simple. 1. Every week you must pick a player that will score a touchdown. Passing touchdowns don't count. Receiving, rushing, return (interception, fumble, punt and kick) count as a TD 2. There is no limit to the amount you can pick a player. If you want to pick Darvin Adams every week than you can. 3. If you fail to correctly pick then you acquire a strike. If you correctly pick you do not pick up a strike. 4. If you miss making a pick for the week you will acquire a strike. 5. All picks must be made before kickoff of the team that your selected player is playing in. 6. 5 strikes and you are out of the game. 7. Last one remaining or the one with the least strikes at the end of the year wins. 8. In the highly unlikelihood that players are tied at the end of the year - the winner will be the player who has selected the most different players thought the year.

exactly. I too drove through there, and it is a thousand miles of corn, subsidized, irrigated, and dumped onto the market. ogallala aquifer going going..... gone. nothing like our prairies, which are beautiful, and where there is something left for birds, and so on.

This will be problematic, as I work in a 6-8 school filled with 10-14 year olds (hey I was ten when I started 6th grade)

I know of the area. It's like some areas of North Dakota. Flat farmland with hardly a tree in sight. The drive through the great plains, Iowa in particular, is mind blowing. You can drive for 12 hours and see nothing but corn. The chemical companies must be working 24/7, to keep that monoculture going.

I don't think the missing of AH short term will hurt us at all, We will have a lil thunder and lightning action going on, and the ability to throw a few wrinkles of dual back/who's gonna get the ball type stuff without sacrificing any import receiver on the field

I expect that the Bombers will have a much more balanced attack than they had in the past. Should Harris be out of the lineup (a probability), one would think that the passing game would be the dominant mode, but with their premier receiver out, that hinders the passing game. Realistically, the running game will likely suffer a bit with Oliveira's lack of experience, but I expect our O-line to chew up the 'Cats d-line and spit them out. Collaros now has a full training camp and he did pretty well when parachuted in in 2019, so I do not think our passing game will suffer much- if anything, it ought to get better as the season goes along. I am predicting a 28-6 romp for our side. Can't wait for Thursday- even if the 'Cats manage to walk on water and win, its gonna be GREAT!!!!

Well, Josh Smith is a Ti-cat fan first, so you will expect him to pump the air for his Ti-cats. Hoping our Bombers burst the 14-0 balloon on his face this Thursday.

not if they havn't found some guts and heart...something they wee shown to lack in a certain game

The CFL power rankings (which obviously mean Jack **** right now) have the riders in 2nd place and Bombers in 3rd....I get that Hamilton is number 1, but how are the riders #2? Has the CFL not been paying attention lol?

How many days to kickoff?

An upper body partial mosquito bite.

You from Shelbyville or something?

20 because they are not happy with the current cousins theyre dating. 😂😂😂

What's the maximum number of cousins that you will be allowed to bring to the Rider Grey Cup parade? Asking for a friend....

Was Taylor who blows it up

Well that's a shame. That ****** deserves to be sicker than that.

Harris and Adams haven't had near enough reps yet....after a year off.... No doubt in my mind the next Gen guys are starting for at least this week.
