2026 CFL Around The League (Not Bombers Specific)
The CFL the way it was, was good enough. Getting all the games by paying for one subscription was good enough. No globals was good enough.

New TV Contract
Owners are on side cuz they see the dollar signs right now, and they don't care if it kills the CFL if/when DAZN pulls its money for lack of viewers.

PS Game #2
This is the perfect DAZN game. IE... I don't care if I miss it.

2026 Bombers Season
Elgersma throws a great ball, but as I expected, the game is too fast for him, and he made some ill-advised throws. Tim White was great. Did everything they asked for and more. The O-line protected well but didn't open up any running lanes. Two pick-sixes off of backup QBs should have been the story of the game, but the 3rd stringers let it get away. Looked like a lovely day at the ball park, way better than that eastern rain bowl. Football is back!

Which QB's would you trade for Collaros straight up?

First new rule shows up... no points on a punt that goes outta bounds in the endzone.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
As I sit here in Calgary, watching the snow fall... I wonder if moving the season forward is the right decision.

How does the CFL get gambling revenue?

When was the last time you saw major changes changed back? The US expansion when all but 1 team bascally folded and the other got an NFL team? That's not the same thing at all.

You're right, 4 games to eliminate 2 teams.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
In the current system you might play the same team 3 times in the regular season, 1 in the preseason, and 1 in the playoffs. Now it could be 2 in the playoffs. That's exacerbating an already bad situation. An 18-game season to eliminate 1 team is dumber than an 18-game season to eliminate 3 teams. Round 1 doesn't eliminate any teams. Think of it as an extra regular-season game, because playoff games should always be win or go home. Teams 1-6 get a home playoff game either in the first round or the 2nd. Teams 7-8 get an away game. Team 9 is a goner.

At 6'5" he might be a good idea for the short yardage QB.

He's going to get the same CFL contract no matter how long he waits.

Likely it's because of how much Collaros is making.

I asked Gemini what % of Canadian QB's became starters in the last 20 years in the CFL... 1.98%.

What a silly thing to say. Of course it matters what team players play on. You seem to want to blame ABC (Anyone But Collaros) for his last 2 years and then make up things to match your story. No offensive lineman threw balls to the wrong team.

Collaros may be old and bad, but he makes up for it by being expensive.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
You think that Collaros would have lasted better in Ottawa than Brown did or that Brown would have been injured as often running our offence behind our O-line? That's why arguments based on conjecture are so stupid. There is no way to prove them either way. Just flapping your 'internet' lips again.

I'd take Dru over Collaros at that price, and it wouldn't be a hard decision.
