And one back breaking fumble
Yeah the fumble sucked but that was still what his... 8th touch of the game? If the defense remembers they can't touch a QBs facemask they are still only a touchdown down. Defense can't stay off the field, 36 minutes of offense for Monteral is nuts, Brady can't get any rhythm going... although it looks like they gameplanned him out themselves anyways.

but the illegal pass to wallace was funny
Because that ended up standing as a play, that meant that the Reigning MOP/MOC, who was 2nd in the league in Yards from Scrimmage despite missing 3.9 games, had 8 more touches on offense than the starting Left Guard.

The one name that maybe fits the "sick of Bombers BS" is maybe Jackson Jeffcoat? Or maybe Geoff Gray? Maybe Darvin Adams?
Almost everyone else seems like an obvious case of leaving for money (Dobson, Whitehead, Houston, Castillo, Lawler x2, Ford, Brown) or players the Bombers were clear they were moving on from (Harris, Bighill, Bailey, Wolitarski, Augustine).
There is also that strange subset of players that were flawed (injury prone) that the bombers maybe waited too long on and then left (Grant, might include Jackson in here).
Maybe some of the fringe players who have cycled through the Bombers and then became fringe players elsewhere might count ( the Fox's and Garbutt's of the world) but if they were disgruntled probably why they ended up as a fringe player elsewhere

So wtf happens if Brady gets dinged or Demski can't make it work?!?

Rourke should be MOP and MOC.
MOC for sure. I think narrative wise he might be a bit behind Bo. Bo had marginally better stats, took better care of the ball, a bit better team success. Was the finalist last year trying to drag a terrible team to the playoffs.

Apparently Shawn Oakman is finding himself in some hot water on Social media. Some women talking about how much of ****** he is, includes screen shots of texts.
Hopefully the league takes a look and takes appropriate action if any of those allegations are substantiated.

It's funny that there is an entire cohort of CFL players who dont know anything but the Blue Bombers making the Grey Cup. Most teams are only going to have single digit players who have been in the league more then 5 years.

This happens every year across every sport, I'm not sure why people are confused. The people who are voting are going to more or less looking at the box score.
There are 2 riders with plenty of picks, they make it to the list even though they both didn't play a chunk of the season. The is one Bombers on the list, despite the Bombers secondary being top of the west in most metrics (other than picks) -
The CFL.ca storylines article made me chuckle today
https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/28/3-storylines-to-watch-in-the-eastern-semi-final-3/QuoteWinnipeg has been one of the best units against the pass in 2025, keeping opposing quarterbacks to a league-low 62.2 completion percentage (Montreal is just behind at 68.5 per cent) and 261.4 yards per game, second only to the Als (256.9).
The difference between #1 Winnipeg and #2 Montreal is 6.3%. The difference between #2 Montreal and #9 Toronto is 3.9%

On TV, it seemed like they had a number of injuries. Likely won't know more until practice resumes this week...
QuoteWhen the Als took the field on Saturday, they hoped for only one thing: to head back home with all the soldiers healthy. It didn’t happen as defensive tackle Mustafa Johnson, defensive end Lwal Uguak, offensive lineman Jesse Gibson, and running back Stevie Scott III all had to leave with apparent injuries.
So a few key players didn't finish the game, I imagine anyone who picked up a ding no matter how minor probably got to ride pine though

How short sighted of the CFL to even have this in the CBA. The word cheap just cries out.
This is standard language and terms in pretty much every major sports league. Teams want control over the players they draft and develop and have them being somewhat cost controlled.
This is actually LESS onerous than most other leagues. NHL is 3 years and then restricted free agency. NBA is 2 years plus 2 years of team options then restricted free agency. NFL is 4 years then a team option I think (3 years if undrafted). MLB is the king of cost-controlling players, I don't think most players make their debut in the majors until their mid twenties, and then there is all kinds of weird rules and arbitrations... I think average age of hitting unrestricted free agency in baseball is something ridiculous like 32.NFL used to have unlimited contract value on their rookies, but teams pushed back on having their first overall picks being their highest paid players.

What is the status of the Als roster right now?
Seemed like during the game every second play they were taking an injury timeout. Hard to judge injuries from inside the stands though- Noeller and Bigblue204

Idont like elgersma will come cheap since he’s still pining for an nfl pr deal. He might think he could get a second tc shot.
Is there any mechanism in the CBA to allow Elgersma to get anything other than the standard ELC out of the Bombers? Maybe some additional marketing money? I think there was some confusion with Rourke and his contract coming back from the NFL because the standard rookie contract is 2 years + a team option... so in theory BC could have paid him a pittance when he came back but obviously that was never going to happen.
I guess this is the relevant piece of the CBA here
QuoteSection 9.03 National NFL Players Signing and Playing in the CFL Any National player who has received a pay cheque for three (3) or more years in the NFL can play for the CFL team that drafted him or owns his rights, and will not be subject to the rookie grid outlined above. Each year in the NFL removes one (1) year off the rookie grid up to the three (3) years. A National in the NFL can receive a pay cheque through either the Active Roster, Practice Roster or Injured List.

If he’s available, I’d look at crum. I also don’t think we’d be in the market to pay ford what he’d want
How much would a thrice benched 28 year old QB command on the open market?
I wonder if the Bombers might be forced to do something with Hogan. Jackson was interim coach in Edmonton and obviously QB coach is a big step back. I would imagine if he doesn't get a promotion he would be a candidate in at least Ottawa for the HC or OC gig

Maybe the Bombers are hoping for a game in Montreal and the wind is like the end of the game of the final game last season and they hope to just pound the ball with Brady and Streveler for 300 yards or so
-
so dumb
The worst part about this is that the Bombers will pull a rabbit out of their ass and somehow win with Streveler having -70 net passing yards or something ridiculous and the riff raff will come out and be like 'bUt StReVeLeR jUsT wInS gAmEs'

Looks like the Bombers are going to get their sellout. About 30 tickets left to purchase on ticketmaster. Should be a nice day for football, about 13 at kickoff but a bit windy. I'm just happy because mercifully my kid's soccer tournament didn't schedule her a game on Saturday.
FWIW I think you need to go out there and play a full game. I get wanting to keep people healthy or playing for a matchup, but the reality is they haven't played really well in a month... and then even before that back in August. They are on a stretch of 4-4... that first win was against an injured Als team and then you have the 3 pass win against Ottawa, you smoke the Ti-Cats and then barely limp to a win against the B-Squad Riders. They need string 3 good games in a row which they haven't done since the start of the season... might as well make it 4 and start it on Saturday.- Piggy 1, rebusrankin and Bigblue204

This is the players vote.
This is the nominations for the year end awards
QuoteThe winners were selected by each team’s head coach and the local voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC).
'Lifetime achievement award' because... who else on you gonna pick on the line this year. I don't think anyone is going to argue that Bryant has any business being in any Most Outstanding Lineman discussion this year
18 minutes ago, Bombertown said:I think Demski deserved MOP.
Brady is the right pick here. Leading the league in Yards from Scrimmage despite missing 2 full games and all but a single drive in another. Demski is a nice sentimental pick but just barely broke 1000 yards on the season
-
Big Stan with the lifetime achievement award.
Kind of surprised Holm got the defensive nom, voters always seem to love stats and Jones has a ton of tackles... I also laugh everytime I see the PFF article on 3downNation and see Willie's ridiculous 99.0 score way at the top of the list.
I think Vaval has a good shot to make it out of the the West in both categories, but that will be the only Bomber there.
Im suprised that Alexander got the MOP nom for the Als starting for only 7 games... that must be some kind of record, he's not even eligible for the passing leaders.

Yeah. Think the ship has sailed there for now. Best bet to sign here take zachs job and who knows. Im expecting him in camp next year.
Maybe some team was telling his camp something that didn't come to fruition... you would think being on a CFL roster and practicing week-to-week then entering back into the window would be preferable for a CIS guy rather than sitting around for a season working out by himself but who knows.
Obviously baseless speculation, but something smells with Brown being shut down early in Ottawa. I wonder if they enter into a full rebuild if he could be pried out and the rights to Elgersma be the piece... would the Bombers never do that in a million years thinking they have the next Rourke? Would the Redblacks jump at the chance thinking they'd have the next Rourke? -
Wonder what is going on with Elgersma
https://lfpress.com/sports/local-sports/taylor-elgersma-wilfrid-laurier-must-take-fight-to-western
Seems his agent is still poking around in the NFL, but the season is almost half over at this point. -
If you take care of the ball at least one of those results are going to flip. There's no reason to have Prukop come in and throw into double coverage after grabbing all the momentum with that Grant punt return in 2022. There's no reason to trot Collaros out with a busted up hand to throw 4 picks in 2024. 2024 is extra frustrating because you have the chance to take the lead after Zach messes up his hand when you get the ball deep in Toronto territory and Oliveira doesn't get a touch with Wilson in. You take the field goal, its still close... defense gives up a long TD which is what ever and then its all passes the rest of the way when Collaros is in with his mangled hand.
2022/2024 was defintely on the offense/play calling... 2023 was kind of wash but you would hope the defense could put up a stop at the end there.

I have no idea who has the best shot out of the West because all the QBs have been so unclutch in the West Finals the last 3 years. Each of the 3 played against the Bombers in Winnipeg
2024 - Trever Harris - 25/44 1/0 283 Yards
2023 - VAJ - 13/26 1/3 221 yards
2022 - Rourke - 20/37 1/2 300 yards
Harris probably had the best stat line but his team lost by the most points. Rourke was apparently still somewhat injured in 2022 but executed perhaps the worst game-ending drive I've ever watched.
