Fair enough on the first point… but even still, let’s say the bombers lost both those games and are 7-3 and still in first place… are they just lucky to be there? on the blitz stuff… you’re assuming the coaching staff is just going to go “oh boy, we didn’t handle the blitz well… let’s just ignore it and hope it doesn’t come up again”… I trust the coaching staff is going to come up with new plans to counter it… for some reason you’re assuming the bombers would’ve only scored a FG on the following drive… and then not score again… if that play was in the last minute, I’d agree… but again, there was 11 minutes left in the game… lots of time to come back…

Your first four points make sense but the last three are very confusing… let’s start at the end… bombers won 30-3 last week and they should’ve lost?!? Interesting take… teams don’t accidentally win by 27 points… edmonton showed how to beat the bombers by losing to the bombers… seems logical… the Grymes pick would’ve ended the game… so you’re assuming the bombers offense would’ve just shut down with over 11 mins left in the game… bombers out scored Edm 10-0 from that point on and should’ve been 13-0… it would’ve absolutely shifted momentum but to automatically assume they would’ve lost is completely illogical… it was by no means a perfect game but you make it sound like this team is on the verge of collapse… good teams find ways to win, even when they have a bad game…

If the Bombers cut Mourtada today... he's already played his last game in the CFL...

I think it is still a bit of a crapshoot... but all the ore reason to stockpile picks... you're far more likely to get three good players out of 8 picks than 4 picks...

That's a stretch... he's no superstar... but he's absolutely good enough to be a player in the league...

Funny thing is the pre-season of 2013 is, I believe, the year we had Rene Peredes in camp... and he was justifiably cut b/c Palardy looked like he was the future...

yes, but what if I "imagined" the ball bouncing in after hitting the goal post??

that's true... but the problem for the Elks is they likely need about 5 or 6 of those weird plays to have any chance... this Bombers teams doesn't make that many mistakes...

I absolutely agree.... just having some fun with TrueBlue's comment...

When the season is going this well… we gotta find something to complain about 😆

Bring in another international??

That was one of Taman’s specialties…

It’s funny… if not for a goal line TD against BC (which I never saw an angle of Cody actually getting in)… the riders would be in fourth right now…

There’s obviously a back story here that I’m not familiar with…

All this talk about hard hitting bombers safeties… I’m surprised no one has mentioned Kyries Hebert…

I wouldn’t write off BLM just yet… I remember a veteran QB who looked done at the beginning of 2019… a change of scenery made all the difference…. Could see him in Toronto or Ottawa next year…

I have to disagree slightly… let’s say they clinch in the next two weeks… then they have a bye, 3 meaningless games, and another bye… and finally a meaningful game after about 5 of 6 weeks… that’s a long time between important games…

This has to be a joke… not possible for someone to be this ignorant… is it? “Success” against this D is scoring 1 TD, 16 points and piling up some meaningless yardage… I’ll take that as a “bad day” for the D…

I’m gonna have to back goalie on this one… some people making a mountain out of a mole hill… it was a simple reference to a children’s movie… nothing malicious …

I’m not… never cheer for the riders under any circumstance*… *exception: a rider win in the final week that gets the bombers in the playoffs…. Don’t see that happening this year….

First rounder for Lewis ward?…. Would that do it for Ottawa?… bombers probably aren’t giving up any young players, especially Canadians…

You must be forgetting he’s an athletic 6’5….

I don't hate those Calgary Unis as much as other do... or maybe they just look really nice compared to dog-**** green coloured jerseys they have been beside the last couple weeks... they probably look ugly beside Championship royal blue...

Don't get me wrong... I agree that it's far more satisfying than the 2011 Swag team or, especially, the 2013/2005 laughing stock... it's just an odd feeling... I'm not old enough to remember the 80s... closest thing I've seen to this in my lifetime is 2001... but even that year the second and third (and fifth 😜) place teams felt closer to the Bombers... this year it feels like no one is close...

I literally get emotional when I think about Streveler's play in 2019... especially in the playoffs... With a nearly broken ankle, he was truckin guys AND out-running them... would not take a play off, no matter what... that guy was absolute heart and soul... even if he never plays another snap for the Bombers... he's already a legend in Winnipeg... Also had more TD passes in the GC than Zach 😁
