Once again, I am pissed at the approach taken in a home Grey Cup year.

Don’t like that neither of the new DL are on the roster. I know last week was meaningless but it was still the most consistent pressure on a QB we’ve seen all year. Even just Jenkins to rotate in for Willie would have made a huge difference. 
 
I don’t see the offence suddenly turning it on with the same weak WR corps either. 
Like most on here, my expectations are pretty low for tomorrow. 
 

They're all starters, @HardCoreBlue. All of these plays ooze heart. It's a group full of intangibles. We're just trying to go 1-0 this week.

With Vaval as db depth no need for Lawson Jr as well when another dline guy be it Jenkins..Person..Adams..Jaworski would give us more impact...
And really Ball...again...redundant and pointless as he should never see feild on defence so use his spot for Pererson as BO backup or dual use...did MCI one big run make osh go off in his pants and figure hes arrived..kid will and can be good but as the sole backup...not yet...especially when Peterson has shown hes legit
That receiving group...yikes...and GTD?? Screams shades of previous playoffs and using walking wounded guys...for little to no impact other than hurting the team
No reason we couldn't have went import at reciever and altered our ratio with starters considering we show 9 right now...again...not a shock and typical osh garbage...not expecting much of a whimper out of us and hopefully we can rid ourselves of who's leading this team

With what Jenkins did last week (albeit in a meaningless game) I would have loved to see him added to the DL rotation. 
My expectations for this game are non-existent.  If we somehow squeak out a win, I'll be pleasantly surprised but if we lose it will be a big "meh" and I think that really sums up how I feel about the team this year.

I assume if Demski can't go, they add Peterson back on. 
Chris-Ike would be the back up plan for Brady. 
Razor thin depth on O if you can even call it depth
Brutal that neither of the american DEs that looked great last week get a chance. 
Don't know why we need Ayers and Lawson on the roster at all as back ups really. 

Apathy is the best way to describe how I feel about this season.  I'm definitely not as engaged as I want to be or usually am.

This has got to be the least excited I’ve ever been for a Bomber playoff game. There’s just no fire in the team this year, I don’t know how else to describe it. 

Is this exciting?  Or does this make anyone else feel old?  👴

Can feel the breeze in the stadium but other than that a perfect day for fall football. Hopefully the teams deliver something half way entertaining.

Oh good, Kola is still starting…… Said no one.

they have had several seasons now to right the ship...I give the first Cup fail a mulligan...but since they should have been doing whatever to right the ship...and turn it back around...and would have been real easy too
Instead...they have let it degrade further for 3 yrs now....to the point where we are at...question is....are they able to do it now with the people in charge?....I have my doubts.....and what transpores in playoffs will be a good indicator...same ol same ol and loss due to similar reason/issues.....see ya later 

What about promoting our OC?
As always, I’ll show myself out backstage.

Every team in the league would take him...

Ticats will lose. We will dress some pr guys and only play starters for a half.  Montreal wins. We play Hamilton in Hamilton and win. Alexander gets hurt 1st quarter east finals. We win. Zach is hurt with 10 minutes to go. We up by 13 tho. Strev comes in. Hands it off and runs and we win but he also gets hurt. Wilson starts the grey cup vs BC. Gets hurt. Artopoeous comes in early and goes 20 Of 22 for 300 yards and 4 TDs as we defeat Nathan Rourke and the lions. But Artopoeous is hurt with 3 minutes to go. No other qb roster, Jake Thomas comes in.. goes 4 for 4 for 58 yards and Castillo kicks the winner with zeros on the clock. Bombers 31 lions 28. 

Glue guys have to perform no matter the vocation. That's been my experience. It's not an either/or. It's both.

I've added Task to my weekly watch list.
I'm guessing Mark Ruffalo will get nominated for an Emmy for his work. 

If we can't beat the Riders with Mair at QB, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.
 

Its hard getting knock on your ass and having to get up multiple times a game, man.

It's one of the top places in this area of town.   Much better then  any of the chain restaurants on Regent or anything along Henderson Hwy.  

So you are saying that this is a brilliant marketing move akin to new Coke (for those old enough to remember)?
- Put out a new worse product
- Get everyone upset and emotionally involved realize they care. 
- Bring back CFL classic in a few years and watch ratings soar!
 

One of the things they are using to try and sell the goalpost move is that their analytics says there will be 60 more TDs per year... that's less than 1 per game (72 games per year), but did they measure how many less field goals there will be because you need to get up inside the 30 yard line before you try for one?  If there are 2 less field goals per game, the change is awash, but I believe that the change of kicks happening from the 45 yard line (and sometimes further) to the 30 yard line will reduce the number of field goals by far more, so now you've reduced scoring overall and made the game less exciting.
Sure TDs are more exciting than field goals, but multiple lead changes because of more opportunities to scored is also more exciting.  Overall 0.83 more TD per game is not going to be more exciting than the lead changing 10 times (like the Edmonton & Hamilton game last week).
