With how good they've looked in parts of some games (1st half vs Elks, whole game vs the Als and Banjo Bowl, first half of the Argos minus literally 2 plays) and how poorly they've looked in others (2nd half Elks, last 5 minutes against BC, 2nd game against Calgary) I would be equally surprised at them completely tanking the rest of the season and missing the playoffs as I would be that they put it all together and make a real run at the cup. Just a real Jekyll and Hyde team.

I see you are a fan of the removal of the 55 yard line. At least it looks like the uprights are in the right place We need less AI imaging out there

Harris should be on this list too shouldnt he? Missed most of 23 with his Tibial fracture. I think Fajardo is close on the injury list as well

Did Ottawa disturb some ancient burial grounds and unleash a curse or something? All those guys on the 6-game and they listed 18 players on the injury list yesterday

How many practices is that now for Oliveira the last 2 months? I think he was a Full participant once the banjo bowl week?

Right now I have internet through Rogers and it is the 1.5 GB/s plan and its $80? My work pays $75 of it so that is pretty great. Costco has pretty good deals if you go to their kiosk in warehouse. My wife and I have cell phones through Fido as well... not sure the Data limit but it might as well be unlimited and it is $80/month for both of us.

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

Didn't Durant's abrupt retirement free up some space as well?

If you look at returners there is maybe a 4 yard cushion between him and really the worst consistent returner. Is he a good enough defender to give up roughly 4 yards of field position per return?

Pokey to the 6-game? Wonder if he'll be on it for the full ride.

Where are you getting 68% from? Looking at the 2026 media guide which has team standings year by year 0-1-1 (2000) (Mini-games from the 35, up to 2 per team) 0-0 (2001) 2-0 (2002) 0-0 (2003) 0-0 (2004) 0-0 (2005) 0-0 (2006) 0-0-1 (2007) 0-0 (2008) 0-0 (2009) 1-1 (2010) (Mini-games, forced 2 point converts) 0-0 (2011) 0-0 (2012) 0-1 (2013) 0-0 (2014) 0-0 (2015) 0-0 (2016) 2-0 (2017) 1-0 (2018) 0-0 (2019) 0-0 (2021) ... but this doesn't count the grey cup 0-1 (2022) 1`-2 (2023) 0-2 (2024) 0-0 (2025) By my count that is 7 wins, 8 losses and 2 ties in the regular season coming into 2026, so 8-8 with the Grey Cup counting, and then 1-0 this year heading into the LDC so we'll call it 9-8 which would be 52% (if you ignore ties)... but 3-5 since COVID which is 37.5%

What is the Bombers record in OT games since they've instituted the mini games? They can't have played in much more than a half dozen.

I thought they should have gone for two in the moment. Bombers have made both their two point convert attempts this year, and historically the league has been hovering around 45-50%. You are riding the high of momentum with that last minute TD drive and the Riders are back on their heels. A few things working towards just finishing it off on that one play in no particular order 1. Tiebreaker - If the Bombers had missed they are down 1 in the tiebreaker, now they are down 6 (and could have been 8) 2. Bombers are among the worst teams in TD drive percentage, and similarly in RD TD % 3. Saskatchewan is one of the better teams in TD drive percentage, including RD TD % 4. On defense, the Bombers are one of the worst teams for opponents drives turning into touchdowns, they are middle of the pack when the opponent gets into the red zone though 5. On defense, the Riders are middle of the pack in preventing teams from driving for a TD %, but they are the best at preventing teams from scoring TDs when they are in the end zone 6. You are on the road, and the offense was having issues with the crowd noise (as evidenced with that time count in OT... why not call your timeout there?!?) Wilson was banged up earlier in the quarter... I don't think he was available so you are missing one of your big play makers I think the scales were tipped way towards... lets try to finish this off ASAP

My theory is that the Rider fans realized that having a fan favourite short yardage guy is pretty fun and now they are just way over compensating based on how they treated Streveler. But everyone knows that Stevens isn't a QB. He's a guy under centre who can push the ball forward. If you are gonna have him pass the ball you are going to have a bad time. There's a reason why he's only attempted 21 passes on 80 game.
