I'll be in attendance with the whole fam wearing Bomber colors freezing our asses off so a convincing win would be appreciated please and thank you.

Hey I can show a guy how to go from 190 to 235 easy. Did that over the course of a couple years in university. I call it the pizza and beer diet.

I am very well versed in this particular diet...

The boys should be back practicing this morning.

Imo, the OL is beyond just needing to gel. It needs more fresh blood. Vanterpool would go a long way, but we have too many liabilities 1on1 on the line today. The wr core isn't fringe anymore, imo. They need to continue what they've been doing, and if they can step up furthe,r that would be great. We either need to give up on DL pressure, or relegate Thomas to the end roster Canadian he is. I think we all know which of those is more likely. We don't need much from the Lbers, it would be great if they stay healthy, and if Jones could do a better job of getting back, but it isn't make or break. The DBs, yeah, and from what they've shown, I think they will continue in the right direction. We need to pray that the offence can do exactly what it did vs Hamilton, in every single remaining game this year. By hook or by crook, not much less will do. If the O can do what it did to hamilton in every game remaining, and the secondary continues to do what it's been doing, and we don't get blitz happy, we have a much better chance than we deserve based on this year. IF we had a big addition by subtraction type injury, (thomas, kola etc) and made the right replacement, that would be a tremendous boost. 90% of our shot lies in Zachs hands. If he can do what he did to hamilton, straight beating their rush with decision making and getting the ball out, in 2 step drops, we could beat any one in any game.

But he's hella quick....

Yup, game starts 6pm WPG time.

Game is at 5:00pm isn't it?

Just put him on the FatBoi diet and he'll be tiptoeing up to the play in no time! Yeah i think they just enter the height/weight for Williams twice (both listed as 6'1, 190). Most places have him listed at 6 or 6'1 and around 255.

I not sure what you getting at in egards to my post....Burke was a decent coord...crappy HC ....Tho was also in a dead man walking situation too

Formal announcement of recent siginings: Blue Bombers Transactions - October 6, 2025 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Monday, October 6 Practice: 11:35 a. m. – 1:00 p.m.

I have no faith in our Coaching to prepare this team to win 2 road games in West to get to cup....If we sneak into 2nd....we may catch lightening I think tho this yr the West team that crosses over will be a first time Grey Cup participant, and seeing we in 4th currently and the Edm game is no gimme at all we could be that cross over team. We have shown zero consistency all yr, and have generally had our butthanded to us the majority of the season in the second half against the good teams (winning records) so although I like what I saw last game....was it an aberration, or do they come out of the bye and expand on that?....that will be the indicator if we are an actual Cup contender and until i see it 2..3 games in a row coming up have my doubts....hope I wrong but to think otherwise is foolish And I am sure based on past seasons Osh will make a couple extremely dumb decisions re the roster, or what is occurring in the game and will cook our goose...so there is also that X factor My opinion....closing out and into the playoffs...we gonna need everything to go perfect, and have a few opponents along the journey pulla cpuple their own Osh's and help us out That being said I will gladly eat crow and Osh does a glorious job....but I'm not getting out my fork and knife just yet Already said Riley...Richard Harris too....always wanted him to be HC here....true player coach and guy who could relate to anyone....he would have been a great one

Every team in the West could finish 11 - 7 this year. IMO, everyone who makes the playoffs, will have a decent chance to win the GC.

Burke was never cut out to be a hc, he clearly learned that fast. Excellent defensive coach though. Packed it in when he realized he wasn’t gonna rise up. Football has the shortest shelf life for coaches. You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. The last guys we had that the fan base would’ve preferred keep imo, are coach cal and riley. The stretch of coaches we had after ritchie and before mos was horrid. As was the pre ritchie era. Perpetually the worst coached team. The reality is football evolves faster than other sports, and the talent/athleticism scales like crazy. You can also rebuild a team in a single year. In order to stay on top of coaching at the pro level you need to do an otherworldly job of evolving not just to match the game but also to out pace others. That also makes it harder to have a high enough peak of performance to win ships. Hcing and Ocing are the hardest jobs in coaching. It’s not fair, and many of the very best coaches in all of football are uprooting their life and family every couple years. And for no reason other than the timing didn’t line up well enough for them. We all know the roster management knock. The problem now is much more pervasive. Finer points of execution like tackling and stupid play discipline which where always strengths in the past are weaknesses now. We seldom adjust well any more or have great starts, and we aren the finishers we used to be. our 3rd quarters are handily the worst in the league. We aren’t good with a lead, and don’t play well from behind. We have maxed out how long you can go with out evolving. but don’t seem to recognize that fact. mtl is a way better team than their record shows. But with out a running game or consistency at qb they are aren’t the biggest play off threat. We match up really poorly with calgary, and not a lot better vs ssk. Hard to be in and out and that young then perform well in the play offs too

Bud Grant 🤣

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...

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.

I should pull that vet card at work. Sorry vet card while feet up on desk smoking a stoggie.

pretty sure thats an oopsie.....dude dont look no 190

Great. After our best defensive secondary game in forever s**ts gotta change.

190 pound DE?!?

I'm not sure what I was looking at... Yes 5pm. Gonna be a very chilly game. Ice fishing clothing it is!

So what you are saying is that we need our o-line to gel (for once) , Zach to remain healthy and not force throws, fringe receivers to step up and play like starters, O'Shea to sit Thomas and use the roster properly and rotate guys on the d-line. the lbers to remain healthy, dbs to continue to press and guys like Houston to step up rather then revert back to getting burned. We need to pray that the terrible play on the O was not a result of Hogan playcalling and more so Zach + o-line issues. We need to hope that none of the key starters get hurt and then trotted out like Bighill was. We need to hope that the weather turns cold and miserable. We need to hope that other teams like Calgary continue to struggle. We need to make sure that we don't face a back up QB who for whatever reason will have the game of his life against us. And if all of this happens we might have a shot of winning it all?

With how Brown has been playing, OTT would be insane to let him go.

Seems like he's getting plenty of playing time in Ottawa so I wouldn't be surprised if he stays, given that there isn't a starting role up for grabs anywhere else - at least not at this point.

Brown's play when he's healthy is for the most part, meh. He puts up big numbers passing but doesn't play like a leader. For every pick or bad pass he throws on 2nd down, he just shrugs his shoulders walking back to the bench losing far more than he wins. He doesn't seem to play with a lot of inspiration, urgency or fire.

I've added Task to my weekly watch list. I'm guessing Mark Ruffalo will get nominated for an Emmy for his work.

It was mentioned here that he was hurt but he played in every game for Ottawa prior to the trade. Haven't seen any indication anywhere else that he is/was hurt. He didn't feel like he was a good fit for their defensive scheme so maybe he asked to be moved? https://3downnation.com/2025/09/30/calgary-stampeders-dl-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-sad-to-leave-redblacks-but-wasnt-the-player-for-their-scheme/

Here’s one. Hold on to your hats and it’s gonna get crazy I’ll just say google Mark Sanchez former nfl QB cuz there is just so many pieces out there. Choose your own adventure

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

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.

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.

I would not be opposed to get Lewis, Hardy or Wakefield but nah, Walters' on holidays
