Hmmm. Not sure. Toronto is starting to win. Ottawa leads the East. Hamilton has been hot and cold.
I'd say we would have a better shot of going through the East, but there might not be a cross over spot this year. 
Bombers need to stay ahead of SK and B.C. 
We could still finish in 2nd, but Nichols needs to start playing better or else 3rd or 4th is where we'll be at.
 

Stealing?  Borrowing with the intention of paying it back later on.  Wouldn't you say that is the politically correct definition?  (ha ha)

Haven't you helped those in need before?  (ha ha)

Thanks SpeedFlex27!  GO BOMBERS.  I am proud to be rooting for a team with so much history and the best fans in the league.  This is it for me.  A Bomber for the rest of my life.
 
 

C'mon 17to85, leave DougR alone. He, like the rest of us come here to get away from the everyday **** of real life. You can go discuss this in US Politics.  I also would like to suggest anyone who wants to talk about the NFL protests also do it over there. 

Well I don't support the protests. I have friends in law enforcement and I know the real story.  The protests are just a side show and ridiculous.  They are losing fans and frankly the quality of play has dropped significantly anyway.  I'm fine with leaving it behind for good.  But, that's me.  

It's New Mexico.  Of course I can "acquire" a jersey by all sorts of means.  Actually paying for it with real American credit or cash.  Or print off some money with that machine in my garage.  I can trade farm animals for it.  I can steal it.  Again, I'm a New Mexican.  We're different than the rest of the Americans. Plus I'm from Albuquerque.  Here's a video that helps...

I doubt that Justin Trudeau knows a football from a meatball.  But that never stops him from having a photo-op:

Young grasshopper you will soon learn that no CFL game is ever under control.

While Justin does indeed appear to love a selfie, this pic was taken as a result of a misunderstanding.  Apparently Justin said "I want to have a picture taken with football players in the worst way."  His aids immediately called Saskatchewan.

welcome Doug, we have been through a ton of struggles in the past but it seems you have joined at the right time, this team has a ton of history and we look to try to return to those winning ways, check out this video of the greatest player to ever touch a CFL field.

My Trump and Kim Jung un tapes are nothing compared to the ones I have on Justin Trudeau.   (ha ha) I doubt he is a Bombers fan.

Greetings from the High Desert of New Mexico, USA!
HOW ABOUT THOSE BOMBERS?  They almost gave me a heart attack last Friday night after giving me the impression the game was under control at half time.  However, a win is a win.  And we have a huge game this week.  I haven't seen the odds of a Bomber's victory yet.  Are they favored and by how much?

On a funny note, I was at my local American Legion Post Saturday night for Karaoke and they had an NFL preseason game on the TV.  A friend asked who I was rooting for this year and I said the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.  He got this puzzled look on his face because he had never heard of the team or a city called Winnipeg.  I know, I know.  The things I have to put up with down here with these Americans.  You Canadians have it so easy above the border (ha ha).  Anyway, I think I need to go online and order a Bomber's shirt to wear around my small town and to Karaoke.  Of course, with the crowd I hang out with, they'll ask me to sing "I'm a Lumberjack" again. 

I am doing some additional homework to make sure I completely understand your posts.  You know....offence vs offense, favourite vs favorite, etc etc.  Is there a translator online from Canadian to American?  (ha ha)  Yes, I feel as if I better put the (ha ha) in just to make sure there are no misunderstandings.  I am joking.  Please feel free to give me a hard time as well.  I have a very thick skin and I doubt you will hurt my feelings.

I am also watching some old videos to become more accustomed with my new team, my new league and my new Canadian friends on this forum.  I think I found the perfect videos online....see below.

Well, I have run, eh.  I will keep my fingers crossed for our Bombers.  I have a good feeling this week about a victory but, honestly what the BLEEP do I know being this far south?   After all, I am closer to the Mexican border than I am to the Canadian (only 244 miles to Juarez....the "fun" city of Mexico, right?) (ha ha).

GO BOMBERS!!!!
 
 

I am the latest American "hoser" (I wear that term with pride on this forum ... ha ha) to convert from the NFL to the CFL (and become a Bombers fan) and I am confused by your post.  

What is going on here? (ha ha) Can a Bomber fan explain it to me.....in terms an American would understand?  If you were south of the border it would be like having a Whiner fan compliment the Raiders.  Or a Deadskins fans complimenting the Cowboys.  (ha ha)  Have I entered a parallel universe of niceness or logged into the wrong forum?  (ha ha)



 

I am tired of the MFL......used to be the NFL.  You know, the Millennial Football League with overpaid American children who are throwing temper tantrums and using the game to advance their insane political views not to play the actual game of football?

I have known about the Bombers for a while and decided to bite the bullet and start watching.  The team, the history, the fans.... this team fits me perfectly.  I am done with American sports and will only be following the CFL.  

As I am learning (ha ha) when you find the right group of hosers that fits you perfectly, you know you're home.  I am home.  I hope to come up North one day and see a game in person.  I am not sure if it is going to be this year.  I would LOVE to come up for the Grey Cup since the Bombers will be playing in it this year, right?

Everyone knew Montreal was a tire fire, some people actually thought Sask wasn't going to be one and that makes it a bigger gong show. 

Just trying to figure out who is the bigger dumpster fire right now, Saskatchewan or Montreal.

She only wants to talk about football if the topic somehow somewhere in the post includes or references the SK squad. It’s disingenuous.
