WPW always puts on a good show - haven't been to one at the Burt yet but last nights cards was pretty stacked for a local indie show (Mone, Shotzi Blackheart, The Good Brothers, Danhausen, Jodie Threat, Tommy Billington) without having to use "name" guys that are 20 years past their prime.

Also when they play at home, PAS has a sunken bowl design which (theoretically) should help mitigate wind conditions. I've often noticed the flags over the concourse blowing in the wind but the flags on the goal posts are hanging limp so it seems to work, at least to a certain extent.

@DTonOB mentioned that we lost out in any tie scenario that involved Calgary so 4 way or 3 way, it made no difference.

I'm torn on this. If they do go with scrubs again, it means most of their starters have sat for close to a month - do they want to roll into the playoffs cold? I expect them to play the A team (at least part of the game). BC may wait to see what Calgary does as well before determining their final roster as well. If Calgary loses to Edmonton, that gives the Lions 2nd place making their game against Sask meaningless.

It's both play calling & execution that they aren't happy with (at least for ZC - BO has to be pissed with the calls being made). The Free Press had a good piece on the game and when it came to the play calling, it's not a good look for Hogan. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2025/10/18/didnt-like-it-but-bombers-will-take-it

Nice glasses though.

I was literally just saying this to my wife. If we manage to sneak past the semi's, it'll mask all the issues we've seen and we're in the same boat or worse next year.

Edmonton loses so the playoff teams are set. Only Sask knows when and where they play though.

Gittens got smoked on that one. 😬

If Davis is healthy for MTL, that argument can be made. They are a completely different team with him. BC has looked good lately but will that continue when they have to play outdoors in the cold? Their track record in those conditions is not great.

My exact feeling as I was leaving PAS. We are fighting to salvage our season and barely squeaked a win against a pre-season caliber team filled with 2nd and 3rd stringers. If they don't switch to Coan, I don't think we win. Montreal game might be similar - they don't have anything to play for and since we will likely play them the following week, i'd expect alot of vanilla play calling (from them... we can only wish ours was good enough to be called vanilla).

https://www.sportsnet.ca/ufc/article/legendary-mma-coach-duke-roufus-dies-at-55/ Duke had a longtime connection with Winnipeg (his first affiliate gym outside the Milwaukee area is here) and he was up here frequently. Had the pleasure of interacting with him a few times and he was always super nice and respectful.

He was rubbing his forearm when he was sitting on the ground after the tackle.

For sure but we still have some low hanging fruit they could trim (Hogan) and at least give the outward appearance that they are aware that some things weren't nearly good enough this year and it's not acceptable. If they bring Hogan back (which would not surprise me in the least), it's not a good indicator that they'll make other needed changes.

The Stamps starting cleaning house almost immediately after the season their was over (Killam, Monson & Simpsons were turfed less than a week after their last game) because they were willing to make necessary changes - I don't see MOS being willing to do the same but we'll see.

Former Bomber Terrence Jeffers Harris was in action in BC tonight. His fight is around the 9 minute mark. I'm actually surprised they allowed him to fight (watch the fight and you'll quickly understand).

It's not country so I don't hate it but I'm definitely not a MGK fan. Was expecting worse TBH.

Their IG profile says "Celebrity interviews, entertainment news & more!". I can't believe I've never heard of this undoubtedly great source for CFL news before, Plus you were still in Regina.

Saskatchewan Roughriders officially name QB Jake Maier starter against Bombers - 3DownNation

White chose to leave, because the Bombers weren't willing to play him right off the bat (no different than Mitchell). He gave them a week after camp to find a spot for him and they couldn't/wouldn't. Even if they had signed another receiver, I don't think it would have been any different. They seem to be so opposed to letting "new" guys play over an existing player - if I was a FA, this is probably the last place I'd sign.

But he's still under contract through 2027 (and the amount goes up in each of the next 2 seasons) so that may hamstring them a bit, in terms of what they can afford to pay Faj unless they can get him to redo his deal or pawn it off on another team.

Talk is about Chad Kelly, not Mike Kelly.

It's possible (there are 4 locker rooms at PAS) so the Western team could be placed in the Bisons locker room rather than the visitors room. For a stadium that does not have that option, the CFL policy says that the Bombers would probably have to move. FAQ about The League on CFLdb

Not really. Argos/Stamps at only 2 & Als/Redblacks at 3 would suggest it's not dome related, and more about strategy. It's a bit surprising when you consider we had Janarion Grant as a returner for most of that time period - you would think they'd want one of the best returners in the league doing his thing as much as possible.
