The Grey Cup this season is on November 15th in Calgary. Next year it will be a week earlier.

Midpoint of November will mean a week after the GC is played. Cold weather isn't really an issue. I still say that fans will sit in cold or bad weather if there is something on thre line late in the season. They sure won't early when there are still 17 games left.

Not saying he's the answer but losing wasn't all on him. The RedBlacks look just as bad as they always have. That secondary was awful.

The season starts with four games left? Okay but you realize some teams have two byes in Sptember & October... The playoff change is dumb as a sack of hammers. Winning is too easy??? Johnson should suit up & try it.

Same here. You just have to grow up in the West to know spring sucks. When was the last time it was as cold as the 1991 Grey Cup in November in Winnipeg? The temp on kickoff that day was minus 18 & the windchill was close to minus 30-35. With climate change temps like that aren't as prevalent as decades past. Not to say that we won't ever be as cold as that again but it will be the exception & not the rule.

That's the Bombers in the 1930's running the Single Wing offense with the "Spinner" handing off the ball. He's now called a qb. Pretty explanatory as to why he was called that. That's kind of a sloppy spin. I've seen better on these classic videos from that era but it still worked.

Not anymore when the season starts in May. James was a beast like Oliveira. Never was fully appreciated by Bud Grant. They didn't get along.

Yeah, thanks. If I have a strike 1 then so be it. It's my fault for not checking the schedule.

I've said it in the past, I'll say it again. Dru Brown exudes leadership like a turtle sunning himself on a rock. It just ain't there. I think that is part of the problem with the guy & Dinwiddie sees that. The RedBlacks would be better to swing a trade with the Argos for Arbuckle. Dinwiddie knows & trusts him. I don't think Maier was the whole problem yesterday. That team has a lot of holes to fill.

How can you say that, really? Diedrick Mills may be the second best pure running back behind Brady. (Elks Justin Rankin is more of an all urpose back than Mills or Brady). If teams can't stop the Stamps run game, what makes you think we can stop them? They work on it as hard as we do offensively. Especially first game of the season when players are still trying to remember their teammates names? If Mills stays healthy, he'll be a 1200-1400 yard rusher like Oliveira. We won yet you sound unhappy & so damned impatient.

The games mean in October mean something. Fans have been following their teams all year. End of season playoff & standing races are going on. Things have played out so we have more invested in our teams. It means something to go to games in cooler weather. We also don't get the bone chilling cold we used to 30 yeatrs ago anymore.

First game in an abreviated training camp & pre season where hitting was rare. Give the guys a chance to find their football legs,

It's not a graveyard anymore. Until last year we were undefeated at McMahon Stadium for 5 seasons. Yeah, the Stamps won every game played there last year but who cares? We've already got s win in Calgary this season. With Noeller it's either total happiness because the birds are singing & the butterflies are free. Or absolute terror because the damned sky is falling in.

Twenty years ago the Stamps were aaveraging 31000 fans a game. Even 10 years ago they were averaging 24-26000 a game. Then Covid came. Local media got ripped apart with budget cuts. And ownership stopped caring.

Those Stamps uniforms look like pyjamas out of the kiddies section of the Eaton's catalogue from 1972. Stamps ownership stopped carrying about the team when Murray Edwards took over. I think it's asking a lot for the fans to care about the team when the owner doesn't. Media coverage in town here is absolutely zero. No more local sports on tv. The two newspapers are toilet rolls.

Of course, I pick Stevens of the Riders & they have a bye week. Can I get a mulligan?? ;)

When you say Jake my symptoms of PTSD return because I still think you refer to the other Jake.

As long as they start the season just a few weeks after thje snow goes away this is going to happen. Only the die hards care about the CFL in early June. The season starts too early. Next year even earlier. It should start with a bang on the Canada Day weekend. Not with a whimper on some random early June Thursday. The season opening weekend should be an event. The CFL has decided that it should compete with the SC playoffs & the NHL Draft in the spring & the MLB playoffs & World Series in October & early November. How stupid is that?

There's always questions before the very first season game. We'll find out what kind of team the Bombers have in the next 3-4 games. As former Blue Bomber Head Coach Joe Zaleski always used to say to the local media when asked about his team's chances, "I'm optimistic!!"

Half full?? That's very optimistic. I was on social media. I guess Regina isn;t the only CFL city who hates Thursday night games. I think TNF is a failure. Get rid of it. Play two games Friday night. Them two games on Saturday.

Season KICKOFF!!!!! three games. big whoop.

So, is the Shane Doan possible hire gaining traction or was it just someone's wild imagination on social media? I wish Chevy would retire cuz he'll never be fired. #jobforlife.

What about Paul Maurice?

When the Jets were in the Wha, I always wished they would have signed him to play.

Or signed another proven Canadian free agent receiver with experience.
