I hate to admit it but it's been a long while since I've been so disinterested in a Bomber season. The only thing worse than anger (as a fan) is apathy.

i’d put pokey on, but i’d sit no show nield for a week. stick him on the 1 game and let him sweat.

Why are people shitting on Brown when this is not the first time we've seen with offense go from looking good to inept within a game regardless of who the qb is? Know what that tells me? It's coaching.

If he misses I am holding you personally responsible

SAY THAT TO MY FACE!!!

We can finally settle the debate of who runs the fastest 40 as well

Interesting to see how certain teams/players behave when faced with unexpected adversity. Perfectly exemplified by Montreal/Alexander and Sask/Harris. During their losing efforts with the Bombers it seemed like there wasn't a play that went by for either team where someone wasn't whining for a penalty or complaining about something. No matter how bad things have gotten this year for the Blue we have not seen that kind of whiny attitude from them. Small mercy but an appreciated one nonetheless.

Probably the most blatant nut shot I've seen since Kerwin Bell'd himself.

Brady now over 1000 yards rushing on the season. First Canadian to do this 5 times in a row.

Not to mention, Zach loves to hold the ball and try for deep shots, and is not quick mechanically to get the ball out. He really has to put in max effort to get velocity on the ball now, which has greatly hurt his ability to get it away. Mechanically, he's the anti-Danny Mac. But the outcome is almost the same as late-career Mac. Elsbury isn't worse than Kolo, imo, but he might not be better than any other C in the league. Which, going from old Kolo to a young Imp on the interior of the OL, is mind-boggling. You have to work hard to suck at replacing a guy that bad. It falls on basically everyone on O. From the system to OL to QBs to WRs, even Brady has struggled more this year in pass pro than ever before. When you make good players struggle at something they've been great at for a long time, you've really messed up. The sad thing is that doesn't get all the way into how bad our pass pro has been this year. 2.5 sacks per game against us vs. BC, giving up 2 sacks per game; vs. Sask, giving up 1.4 sacks per game. But the pressures and hits are what really separate us from even other basement-dwelling teams. We will almost certainly end up giving up more than 200 hits and hurries this year, and 45-50 sacks on top of that. Maksymic isn't reinventing the wheel over in Edmonton, and he doesn't have some insane talent set on offence. He's giving Cody easy, quick decisions and not letting the D dictate with pressure. He's running a balanced attack really well. If Maksymic had ended up here and TC in Edmonton, we would be in the battle to win the West.

yup takes a man to be a man...good on him And agree his analysis and breaking down of what's going on...almost as it happens is top notch. He knows what he is talking about and can explain it to fans in a way that they can grasp, and isnt dumbed down. Compare him to Suitor and its like a 3rd grader vs a College Grad. And Lapo too is totally finding his groove. Best thing TSN has done is bring these guys into the fore front and it only will help with new fans in my opinion. For the Grey Cup and Siv Finals it be in league's best interest to have Willson in the booth...and Lapo doing sideline work of some kind as the game is is being played Keep Suitor far away as in all honesty his color and analysis is just so amatuer hour now it's not even funny...He add's nothing to the game telecast....nothing

Montreal is always looking to bring in new blood to improve their roster. Bombers for the most part tend to bring in their training camp cuts if they need players.

Someone needs to tell them.....

You don't fail so spectacularly after looking so good multiple times if it's a player issue. That's 100% a coaching issue. Teams adjust and our coach can't figure out how to make adjustments.

we shouldn’t have cut rando, should’ve cut bryant, and should’ve benched elsbury long ago. The ol has been trash and we refuse to even try to fix it.

Citation for the source is "trust me bro" Keeping the 55 would be good, but that's only part of the issue with the changes. Putting the uprights at the back of the end zone is as big a problem, if not worse. Doesn't make sense with the grassroots field issue to change one and not the other either. If you stick with the 15-yard end zone change and move the uprights to the back of the end zone, even if you keep the 55-yard line, you are still 50 yards out from the 35 before the holder puts down the ball. That means the red zone is really your fg range. You could drive from deep in your zone to the 35-40, hit 3rd and long, and be out of range for a field goal. Do you punt from within the 45? The 40? Even if punters start hanging perfect NFL-style kicks, all the rule changes succeed in is killing the return game. The BOG really needs to rethink this one.

Mike Hawk is what I would suggest.

It's difficult to really see anything as the camera is so far away but if it can be proven that Haggerty did punch the Als returner & he's seriously injured than there should be consequences.

Dinwiddie in his office right now:

Texada has been very good today i was very impressed especially for his experience. Whole secondary played much better today. Kramdi brought back some much needed physicality amongst others. We also used him better than we have all year at S. He wasn’t the deepest man having to pick up hand offs, he was the under man and the wall player like when he played sam. Allowing him to play lanes and lay the body. This is far more traditional assignment for canadian Ss. We also did it while limiting the kelly/ 2 S look. We used that a couple times but mostly to allow kramdi to rush. And 5 or fewer snaps. The coverage was simplified and streamlined allowing dbs to play fast. The front had some good rush packages with 3-5, though that still needs to improve. We saw more of what our D has done best under hall and jy. The pass rush needs work still, disruption was a bit better but actual pass rush too limited. Wil and mac again under performed, especially tony jones. His pass limitations got hidden a bit better by rushing him more, but he’s been struggling to finish plays lately. He might be worn down physically. Smith has been soo damn good though. I’d love to see him flanked by griffin when he’s healthy. same.

henoc says the ol has played well and protected zach well. some one call the concussion spotter he’s cleared not ok

Going full "SAY IT TO MY FACE, YOU NAME THE TIME AND PLACE BUSTER" has to be the single most pathetic thing you can do on an internet message board

Over/under set at 3.5 for pulled hamstrings.

Hi all We are heading out tomorrow morning to Winnipeg, looking forward to the game hopefully it’s as entertaining as last week and that there isn’t too many injuries to both teams

Is the scouting template for WR this: Is he Canadian? Is he short? Is he slow? Is he unathletic? If yes for at least two, sign them ASAP.

After this last game I'm really happy Brady signed a multi year deal. Because there's no chance he'd sign again if he were a FA after this season. The way Condell completely ignores him and just refuses to use him in the passing game...leaves me speechless. I just don't understand it. And by this point, there's no excuse I'm willing to accept. Condell can go coach a high school team.

i can with this staff Vaval actually had almost perfect coverage on several of those plays...and a few others played it best u could...was right there and immediately made the tackle...Not his fault he was tasked to cover the best qb/WR tandem in league....Thank god it was him out there or it prob would have been real ugly...Dude played damn good

Respect the crap outta that. It's pretty clear now he trolls to try and kick up a tizzy just to get eyes on him and the cfl. I hope he tones the twitter stuff down a bit, but I love this guy in the booth. He needs to be the main colour analyst for as many cfl games as possible. He and lapo elevate the broad cast a massive amount over suitor etc.

@WinnipegGordo can we talk out back please.

Forget the injury and long term health concerns, Zach has been on a decline production wise since 2023.

Harris is a whiney baby, and a real baby cat....as the actual word will get censored. Team came out actually prepared but there were some moments again in the Jekyll and Hyde mode but for most part we weathered it and as seen when you roster the best roster you can (save for C) and use guys in roles best suited for them, (more on that later) you get what we saw. Boys actually brought the intensity and played with anger. Especially on defense...Kramdi return obviously fueled that somewhat, prob his best game ever but he was also used differently and more where I have said he would thrive...mucking it up lower in the box...coming down hill and pressing the l.o.s...Was minimal in coverage and it was effective, as he sucks in coverage and before the yeah butter's say he got in INT...yeah he did...but was from just being in space and ball just popped over to him...He had poor coverage on the actual reciever, not sure who he was even covering to be honest but good on him being alert and ready. My only criticism of him is sure he made a couple impact plays but the dude needs to really learn to tackle and wrap a guy up and not dive at shins or torpedo into upper bodies...He had at least 3 plays again where he did that and the guys justkept on goin as he bounced off...Gotta fixtah up but not sure if he can/will as its been his technique since day one...But his addition back to defence definitely made us better...Now lets punt kelly off...And as mentioned in convoy with Griffin he says he will be back "soon" so hopefully it gets Kelly to the bench, especially as we dont need that as a Ratio need Like the role now Younger has put Jones in...He got exposed a few times but inconsequential, but like Kramdi he has been limited on his drops and cover responsibilities and been allowed to just get at it...and he plays a bit like a knob..as does Kramdi and we need that as it permeates thru the defence...Jones new responsibilities totally coincide with Smith's play and his ability to crash the line and play inside...obliterate the run but also can cover a teams top slot...And as you can see is an extremely smart player and soaks up coaching like a sponge and doesn't make repeat errors...You can see it in his play as the season advances...we need to extend him pronto before he is gonna be commanding more loot...and or be a hot FA target Younger has been slowly morphing the defense but also seeing what pieces fit best where so needs to be kept up....With Wiliams being an absolute baller,,,Vaval showing he can be that other aggressive corner, and hopefully Griffin back sooner than later we have makings of a real good defense. Osh put together a good squad for this game...and actually had his head in it too and utilized his challenge without hesitation for once and generally had his team engaged....Props to him there, my only critique is when you finally roster legit DA's...actually use them! Jaworski and Womack played teams and I saw good things there...Womack got few snaps on offence but I don't recall seeing Jaworski but maybe missed his snaps...none the less was our best lineup all yr... Offence....hmmmmm...TC is a guy who I don't think even has a game plan or any sequencing of plays that make any sense...Just spit balling and tossing things out there I really liked that we actually went to some true sprint outs where ZC would totally change launch point well away from anyone....and trickery on the Oline to draw defense totally away from =him...and some milder roll outs...and was effective...The Neild TD being a perfect example...then would go to static drop back plays where we got killed...and he just kept doing it...Like dude are you even watching?? When we use the oline in sync with BO...and with multiple slide protections and movin the launch points...we are pretty efficient...so to keep straying way from it when teams aren't adapting is just poor coaching and makes zero sense And i gonna keep saying the majority of the issues is center and his inability to set the line up properly, plus he gets beaten physically too easily as well, but with a rookie American center who is seeing things for first time...would anyone expect anything better than what we seeing..There is a reason you never see Import centers, especially as a rookie...Just plain dumb coaching. We had a guy Ibisi who did it...But he was a brute..aggressive and athletic...not to mention mean...but please someone list all the great Import centers in last 20+ yrs....I'll wait Some here say ELI sucks...based on what..when has he been given a 2..3 game run....never...when he has been dropped in with no reps during the week he has been just fine and no worse than anyone else....and again before the yeah buts start their retort sure he has been here a few yrs but the coaches absolutely love what he can do in the extra guy role, and he can play guard if need be so they pidgoen holed him there...and when ole Kolo was here he was a poor choice as 6th as all he was was a middling center and offered no real coverage. Until I see a block of games where he looks worse than anyone ever as some suggest...then I will maybe change the opinion but the opinion he isnt starting cause Osh and his "staff" want someone else holds no weight, as we have seen in multiple positions a lesser skilled guy play over the better one, and or allowed to just be mediocre and suck cause thats just who they like...we seeing it now.... None the less if we can actually build on this ...which is almost 2.5 great complete games outta the last 4 then optimism should be there and second place should be totally doable, it's all up to the coaching now to get us there....From what I seen from Edm game to the last one the trend "looks" moe to be an upward one...but that also has coincided too with some player changes...and usage...Shouldnt have took 13 games tho to realize it. Ohh...forgot about my thoughts re:offence...ZC doesnt have the arm now to make the forced tight throws into double/trip0le coverage, and also to me it seems he is having processing and decision making issues upstairs...has he taken too many shots?...is he playing panicked..compromised?..Unsure but he's too experienced, and he's also way too intelligent to be making rookie type mistakes out there...Something aint right....But....If we use the system we did where we have success with Dru....moving the pocket all over...sprint outs...roll outs designed with actual receivers on both sides of center...we'd be just fine if ZC is out long term and Brown would thrive in that...Does TC see that tho....thats the big assed question Oh and I made it home safe and sound...Never got beat up by any bully...lol... @SpeedFlex27 tho said he was gonna toss me around tho and to smarten up when we met up hahaah...

Terry Wilson demoted to the Als practice roster for Evans. Wonder if they are going to hear anything from his mom.

Someone tracked him down.

The Goalie vs Booch fight would be a good occasion for a MBB meet and greet.

Yeah collaros has never been the quick short game qb. In his prime he compensated by being able to move around and escape pressure. That ability has left him and he is too easy to disrupt through pressure right now Nothing at all? Not the complete inability to handle a blitz? Not the complete inability to get a first down through the first quarter, or more, of the game? Not the complete lack of effort by some players? I'd suggest you look harder and not just at the scoreboard. Saskatchewan gave them that game and Winnipeg refuses to take it.

So if elsbury is being demoted my question is... Why now? Why not weeks ago when it was obvious he wasn't getting the job done?

https://3downnation.com/2026/10/08/zach-collaros-wants-to-continue-cfl-career-in-2027/ Some one has to save zach from him self, and the mafia from them self. We are on the verge of missing the play offs and i get this sick feeling we might once again run it back with the group that hasn’t gotten it down for years

He's fumbled/dropped multiple TD's this season, cost the team points. He'd be a fine third option. We basically have decent 2-3-4 receivers, missing the top dog.

Not sure I'll renew my TSN subscription next year. Why pay good money to watch this team if they are not going to even try to make adjustments. I'd rather put my money towards a dominatrix that will spank me. At least she'll put in an effort!

When u have a 600k qb who can't climb the pocket..have escapability and essentially turtles when any threat of pressure is in his face..u generally are bottom of league in that stat..not saying our line is great by any means but not as bad as they seem..victims of what i said..some horrible schemes and weakest center in league who I dont think is making the right calls..let alone recognizing fronts and blitzers to make call outs Never thought with the dumping of kolo that in 2026 we be even worse at center...but here we are and we just keep banging our head against wall thinking that after 14 games hed be better...if anything he has regressed as teams have ample film on him and know all his deficiencies...but he got big legs according to Osh so we good

I havent started a gameday thread this season yet. But, if the Bombers lose today I'll ban myself from starting anymore GDT threads for this year.

Its a bold strategy @bigg jay , let's see if it works out for us.

Why go straight to DAZN? Let's get a bidding war going for the rights!

We're missing an opportunity here. We need to sell the right to the Booch-Goalie Battle Royale to DAZN. We could make enough to buy all 15-20 regulars here a beer at a Bomber game.

Or it could be the Banjo Bowl half-time show!

I like this lineup

What have they done this year to make you believe they aren't high?
