Manu moved to the Lions IR with a knee injury - out at least a month.

We've lost to more than one shitty QB in the Grey Cup so I don't find that to be a valid argument.

Is there ever a good time to be one?

And yet it's only a one score game. I hope Sask clinches and then coasts - nothing like heading into the playoffs playing absolutely mediocre football.

100% this. Nobody really talks about how good the Bills had to be in order to go to 4 straight Super Bowls - they just talk about the Bills losing those games because at the end of the day, that's what matters.

Not me! Most nervous I can recall ever being for a game. I couldn't even finish a beer before the game which is how my wife knew it was serious! 😂 Maybe a bit earlier for me but not far off. I've seen too many epic collapses in my life to be overconfident.

That maybe the case for BC but it doesn't apply to every team. The Riders have allowed the fewest points and has the 2nd most sacks (almost double our total - 38 vs 20) so you can get after the QB and still be successful at not giving up points. The stats don't lie and it's worked for us as we're tied for 2nd in points allowed but it's a very different system JY has installed and not one that I enjoy watching (frustrating as hell seeing opposing QB's have all day in the pocket) and I know others feel the same - Doug Brown has stated he would hate playing in this system as there seems to no regard for pressuring the QB.

I am very well versed in this particular diet...

Just put him on the FatBoi diet and he'll be tiptoeing up to the play in no time! Yeah i think they just enter the height/weight for Williams twice (both listed as 6'1, 190). Most places have him listed at 6 or 6'1 and around 255.

Seems like he's getting plenty of playing time in Ottawa so I wouldn't be surprised if he stays, given that there isn't a starting role up for grabs anywhere else - at least not at this point.

It was mentioned here that he was hurt but he played in every game for Ottawa prior to the trade. Haven't seen any indication anywhere else that he is/was hurt. He didn't feel like he was a good fit for their defensive scheme so maybe he asked to be moved? https://3downnation.com/2025/09/30/calgary-stampeders-dl-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-sad-to-leave-redblacks-but-wasnt-the-player-for-their-scheme/

So new commish but same old CFL when it comes to some things. They weren't happy about the GC halftime show being announced in 2023 until late September so they committed to earlier announcements. A year later, here we are in early October and crickets. Too busy trying to Americanized the game I guess. https://3downnation.com/2024/06/05/cfl-committed-to-earlier-announcements-for-grey-cup-halftime-show/

Not exclusively - there's enough hate to go around!

We've also signed a few guys to futures contracts over the last few days, https://www.bgmsportstrax.com/2025/09/30/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-wide-receiver-tyrone-t-j-davis-to-a-future-contract/ Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign wide receiver Kenneth Womack to a future contract – BGMSportsTrax Meet 2025 Draft Prospect Zovon Lindsay, OL, Coastal Carolina

FWIW, Google AI says we used our expansion window in August when we added guys like Moore, Houston & Echols.

I didn't not have Dillon Mitchell being more impactful than Bo Levi Mitchell ony bingo card for this game.
