Bombers-Als Pre Game Discussion
The one thing people miss is that they don't take the winner of the tiebreak scenario, they dump the loser. So because Winnipeg has the worst round-robin W% of the group they get dropped, and then the tiebreaker resolves between CGY-BC

Gappers @ Bombers: The GDT
Does that list include the win against the Argos where they got 1 offensive TD and 3 DST tds?

Gappers @ Bombers: The GDT
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17EocBZLow/ An angle of the Sterns play that shows the Neufeld/Brooks scuffle. They didn't show a replay in the stadium and watching the reddit game thread it didn't sound like they showed it on the broadcast either I imagine Neufeld picks up another fine for that.

Gappers @ Bombers: The GDT
After this debacle let BC put Edmonton out of their misery tonight so the Bombers don't need a result next week. It's still possible to host a playoff game with the Lions winning tonight weirdly

Gappers @ Bombers: The GDT
So after the Bombers win, what is the preferred outcome of the rest of the games? BC wins and puts Edmonton out of their misery? I think in this situation if Calgary goes 0-2 the Bombers can finish 2nd. BC Loses and Calgary Wins which means the Bombers can't get second but the Elks are mathematically eliminated? BC Loses and Calgary Loses and the Bombers have a chance to either host a home playoff game or be eliminated entirely based on Week 21? The Bombers have the tie break head-to-head against both the Lions and the Elks. In a three-way tie I think they come out ahead (Winnipeg 3-1, BC 2-3, Edmonton 2-3) but any tie breaker involving Calgary I think the Bombers lose because of the 0-3 debacle.

Didn't the current Bombers just dog-walk the Tigercats to the tune of 40-3?

2025 Grey Cup News
So what's the deal with the furor surrounding these passes? They decided to combine the concerts and the team parties and that make it harder to secure team party access? Is there less supply than there has been in other Grey Cups?

Riders at Bombers early chat
So 2 weeks to go to make the playoffs and the player with the 2nd most receiving yards on the active roster is the RB... and the player with the most is playing his first game since being murdered across the middle and missing 3 weeks. NBD

Riders at Bombers early chat
Just feed Brady the ball. He is down on touches this week. Have him touch the ball 30 times and rack up 300 yards from scrimmage

Please dress an extra WR for this game

Isn't there a direct butterfly effect surround Durant signing a contract, collecting his bonus, abruptly retiring and the Bombers signing Bighill?

3 turds plus ch F for effort
I didn't get to watch most of the game did Streveler actually get reps at receiver!?? I was joking about that!

Bombers at Elks early chat
It's possible after this week, the West #1 and East #1 and #2 seeds are all locked in, which means the last two Bomber opponents might not have much to play for other than staying healthy. That and them both being home games bodes pretty well for a home playoff game if they can take care of business tomorrow.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
The Craig Roh thing always seemed incredibly sad to me. It is my understanding that Colon cancer is pretty slow as far as cancers go, to go from being on a pro roster in 2021 to diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in 2022 is a pretty rough turn around. Colon cancer specifically is hard to screen for in younger people and not really on most peoples radar until 45+. I wonder if anything in a teams medical would possibly flag anything like that.

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
To put things in perspective, the Argos and the Riders play tomorrow night... by my count, on the Argos Active roster, they are playing only 2 players who have played a game in a season where the Bombers didn't participate in a Grey Cup (excluding this one)

If Demski is out does that mean that Streveler slots in at Receiver?

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
Dru Brown shut down for the season now too. Not sure why you would turn your team over from a 28 year old QB you have signed next year who doesn't appear to be injured but has struggled this year and probably needs to work through some stuff to someone who is going to be a free agent but Ottawa gonna Ottawa I guess

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
The reasoning for removing 10 yards from the field is dumb as well. Just come out and say the medium-term plan for the league is expanding into other markets, and the current footprint of the field is going to be an issue in moving into markets with existing infrastructure.

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
The difference in Completion Percentage between Bombers and the #2 Riders is 5.2 percent... the difference between the Riders and #9 Edmonton is 3.7. The Bombers have been riding that and a pretty serviceable special teams to limit TDs

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
In this fantasy land all non-NFL/NCAA leagues are playing under a unified Canadian Rules football system The biggest problem logistically is when the teams are active I think. The way Soccer works is you quality for in-season champions tournaments the season before, so 2024-25 qualifies you for 2025-26 You could let the UFL/FAM-YOX season play out and have their champions immediately turn around and play the latest Grey Cup champions with the lead-in to the season (read: 1 preseason game or a scheduled week 1 bye) Or just go full carnie and find 9 non-Canadian teams, right after pre-season match every team up with an opponent, bill it as CFL vs the World and declare a winner based on aggregate.

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
If you bump up the UFL a month you would have that and FAM-YOX running until July I think... maybe the reigning Grey Cup champ sacrifices a preseason game and has a scheduled week 1 or 2 bye. It's messy but you can probably make it work

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
I always thought it would be neat if they could convince some of these other leagues to adopt 3 down football. Like... don't merge with the UFL but have them adopt CFL rules and that opens up for some exhibition games or some sort of tournament like Soccer does.

How did Mauldin end up playing for the Stamps? Saw he was a starter did he didn't record any stats at least

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
So interesting to think about, if Hamilton beats Calgary on the 11th, the Bombers control their destiny for the 2nd spot in the West, and that result locks in Saskatchewan to 1st in the west and Hamilton to 1st in the East... so the Week 20 game is a home against a Riders team with nothing to play for but not get injured, and Week 21 is a home game against the Als who have nothing to play for but not getting injured.
