Unfortunately I don't have that skill. I will continue to get my hopes up followed by the 'next year is our year' statement. Rinse repeat.
Sort of the Charlie Brown and Lucy thing.
yes, it took 29 years of this for me to be rewarded with the Bombers, now I'm on year 45 with the Jets lol....

I am not bailing on the Jets yet. Brutal schedule lately with weird afternoon games and definitely a let down game against New Jersey. IF we do collapse again though i really think we need to review Chevy and can he really judge his team in a objective way? But i still think this team is much better than last year...🤞
This team just looks gassed. Needs more than one day off between games and get a bit of a breather. Also, I don't have access to much Winnipeg media, what's the word on Vilardi? Is he coming back this year or not? Man we could use him right now.

OL group at combine is pretty poor. But most of the top 7-8 guys aren't there. Dumoulin Duguay is a guy I could see us picking in Round 1.
We know O'Shea is on side...

And a fluky bounce makes it 2-0 Caps. Jets really deserving a better fate right now.

More classic M. Emmet Walsh.

Reminds me of when Pacman Jones had his video posting on the internet then the next day the Bombers decided not to sign him. lol
I watched that video. Pacman was clearly high and he kept saying that Winnipeg was in the UFL.

Apparently Rangers fans losing their minds on Twitter after the loss. Figured playing their goon would have made a difference.
Yes, Winnipeg isn't supposed to win in New York. I still remember when we won in New York in 1979 in our first year in the NHL, which wasn't supposed to happen. The ref (I think it was Bruce Hood) talked about how he got death threats after the game.

At the expense of samberg our best defensive d man at that. I’m hoping samberg has the Asian ancestor flu that was going around the jets for the past 2 weeks now. But to be fair, the pylon has played ok against 2 really really bad teams so.
And time for some soon to be ufa fun…So can only sign 2… pick them
Demelo
Dillon
Monahan
Toffoli.
Monahan and Toffoli.

You have no clue. You can stick to your ideology like some feckless zealot while ignoring the facts. The Edmonton Eskimos finished first in a very tough Western Division where a 9-7 Rider team didn't make the playoffs in the West while a 3-13 Montreal team did in the East. The Rough Riders at 5-11 had the the worst record of any team to ever play in the history of the Grey Cup.
I was looking at scores from that season and some interesting facts come out for me:
- Edmonton lost only one game all season - guess who beat them? Yup, Dieter and Crew, 38 - 28
- I remembered why I grew up thinking "Barnagel" was so good, because Sask came into our barn that year and beat us, one of only two teams to do so at home that year (not counting that uber-crappy Western Semi-Final game). I remember being very mad after that Sask game.
- We beat Montreal 58-2 that year. HA HAA HAAA HAAA I think that game destroyed Vince Ferragamo.

just that they don't deserve the moniker of two headed monster and unstoppable force that people had bandied about. They were a good tandem, nothing more.

At this moment, projected game roster is the same as it was last time out.

Not if they went 9-7. Like I said, I wouldn't be disappointed either but I like winning better than I like stats. My top two tandems that I measure all others are Austin/Burgess and Holloway/Barnes. Both put up big numbers, both had championships to their name. Not trying to be a bugaboo about it, I just value wins as part of the equation.
Austin/Burgess was really effective for sure.
Hopefully one day "Collaros and Streveler" will be right up there, if they can put together two solid seasons and even another Cup or two.

I know this show ended 10 years ago but I finally watched all 7 seasons of SOA. I also found out that Tiggy lives just down the road from me in West Kelowna.

13000+ in attendance tonight, but crowd was quiet. I really hope playoffs are all sellouts and loud.
The new guys looked great and Tofolli had a couple of glorious chances. Toffoli, Monahan and Iafallo looked fantastic out there.
Perfetti had a beauty deflection that rang off the iron. He had a very strong game but when Villardi returns, He's likely in the press box.
I'm going with the "TMI line" as their nickname - they score a goal, then come off the ice and tell you all about their latest colonoscopy.

The two headed monster played much better than that lame description.. Both qbs threw for a combined 4,603 yards & 33 touchdowns. But it's the Riders so naturally let's dismiss their play as subpar. The CFL was all abuzz about the way Joe Barnes & John Hufnagel played in 1981. Those guys carried a so so team on their backs all season. They finished 9-7 out of the playoffs as there was no crossover at that time.
Yes I remember every Roughrider game that I watched that year (and not all games were televised back then) the announcers were talking about "Barnagel". They were an effective one-two punch. The Bombers utilized Hufnagel in that capacity to some extent as well bringing in Huffer when Clements was struggling. The biggest example of that was the 1984 Grey Cup. I was always a fan of "mixing things up".

Strevelers injury, a broken ankle, isn’t a wear and tear thing. It was a freak accident made worse by riders targeting it.
Both streveler and buck need to evolve to the modern qb run packages. The cfl on the whole is lacking in this area. But I see no reason why he can’t put up a ton of rush yards while staying healthy and productive. Doesn’t hurt being bigger and stronger than half the guys on the field for defense.

1994 - Calvillo's rookie season with the Posse. Man was he bad....
was this the one where a fan stole the only football they had after a Bomber td and the announcer on the broadcast was begging people to come to the stadium to bring a football so that the game could finish? I remember Rod Smith making fun of that in some video somewhere...
