For the first time in 5 years. Exciting time to see how the seeding will play out.

Good thing they fixed the OL by putting in 3 americans finally right? Cause you're fooling yourself if you think that hasn't changed the complexion of the team immensely. 

There is no doubt in my mind that the addition of Mr. Bond to the o'line has dramatically improved it.

Matt Nichols has been an equal upgrade over Drew Willy as Travis Bond has been to Patrick Neufeld.

I get the point you're trying to make but that analogy isn't even close.

Bond is arguably the best OL in the entire CFL.

Well i just wanted to say congrats to the Blue. After the way the year started I was definitely one of those who thought here we go again. Thankfully I was wrong  and I think it does reflect well on the organisation that it can rethink it's starting Qb and do whatever it has too (like bringing back Denmark) to field a winning team. Kudos to MOS and Walter's.

Please, not this argument again.

Straight up guys. Congrats on getting a spot locked up. Best of luck to the Bombers in the show. The team is heading in the right direction these days, and that's exciting for the fans who have held the fort all these years.

Bombers till have some work to do....especially in the secondary.

Been looking at the pics of the Riders practicing on Parliament Hill.  That's pretty cool!

I agree, they're not letting in tons of passing tds but chewing up the field with 300-400 yard games will kill us. Now that we've made the playoffs we better have a sold out final game. I'm tired of seeing empty stands even with a decent product on the field.

yeah 24K attendance is nothing to brag about.  I was hoping to see attendance improving by now.

A very appropriate place for "Canada's team" to practice.

Trudeau has the army on the way to break it up. He thinks its redneck farmers from Sask protesting to get Energy East put in.

Justin actually came out and posed for a selfie with the team, after which he was heard saying to an assistant "Who are these guys?"

I guess when you're 4-10 you can afford that soft practice time

Might want to let riderstronson know on riderfans of the positive direction spearheaded by management. He believes signing O'Shea and Walters long term will doom the Bombers to mediocrity.  No guarantees either way but the Bombers are showing positive signs and it is translating into wins.

When you win championships in the U.S. you meet the president.   In Canada you meet the PM when you miss the playoffs 

 

 

Sorry...had to

Losers all over that picture.

What's crazy this season is that there are now 3 Western teams who have clinched playoff spots.  No Eastern teams.  No Eastern team has a .500 or better record.

Just like old times....

It was consolation prize.

Making playoffs:   season is already a qualified success.   

The gravy would be a home playoff game and a trip to the West final for a 1 game shot...

 

You'd rather stay in the West then the East for the playoffs?

Gonna have to beat the Stamps either way so I don't see what difference it makes
