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

Lions are not sweeping us. Split at worst or we win both.  Book it

I actually think thatll happen as well. But I think wally rests a couple guys in the last game.

Given we have the tie-breaker against BC........anything less than 2nd, at this point would be a massive fail.

I wouldnt say thatd be a massive failure. Ending up as the cross over team is a good spot to be in. Cross over or home play off game is a great spot either way. Plus the turn around from previous years and the first 1/3 of the season really we are playing with house money at this point.

We are playing better and I do not see BC winning in the final game at Mosaic

Brace yourself, after watching the Riders suck this weekend, I can see BC hammering them both home and away.

BC has been terrible vs the WEST this year tho, besides SASK, they have the worst record in the west vs the west.

Yah, but they just beat Edm. and took Wpg. to the wire, so that may no longer be relevant.

Really? A massive fail?  We're tied with BC in wins right now, but it would only take 1 bad PI call against us and we're back in third, or worse.  I guess I just can't agree with that line of thought.

I sure hope that is was meant sarcastically.

Yes, of course. Wrong poster for that line of thinking..

That was my thinking too, but with posting and gin, one can never be too sure.

Plus DorD may not remember what he was hoping for when the season began.

Greed and Gin do things to you.....

I predict: 

Edm loss to Ham, securing their crossover. 

BC split with SSK

WPG split with OTT

If WPG wins this week and BC loses, we clinch 2nd. 

I agree with the standings but I think it'll play out differently... BC splits Sask but starts by losing the Moasic farewell... Bombers/RBs split as well but we win this week to secure 2nd place and lose next week while resting some starters in the second half (since Ott will need that win for 1st  in the east)... meanwhile Edm wins out and finishes in the cross over spot despite having the best record in the East at 10-8...

Final Standings:

West
1) Calgary 16-1-1 
2) Winnipeg 11-7
3) BC 11-7

East:
1) Ottawa 8-9-1
2) Hamilton 8-10
3) Edmonton 10-8

We definitely didn't look good this weekend. Still believe we at least split

I have to agree... Hard to imagine the riders lose the final Moasic game... hell, the Bomber won both farewell games at canad inns!

To hell with the Lions.    We need to do it ourselves.  Wrap up 2nd place in front of our fans......then can give some guys a rest or reps, next week.

They're also the only team in the league to beat the Stumps.

So basically it comes down to if the bombers win... the worst they could finish is third .. best is 2nd with a bc loss and bomber win..

Looks like the west semi will be wpg vs BC but not sure where it's played yet.... that seems most likely as I think all 3 will win next week.

Could the bombers not fall to 4th if they lose? BC would be ahead of us, and we'd be tied with Edmonton who I believe has the tiebreak on us. So in that case bombers are 4th and cross over

Like I said I think all 3 of wpg bc and EDM win.

And deservedly so- quite a fall from two weeks ago.

Still hoping for east side route. Lesser of 2 evils IMHO.

Would getting swept by Ottawa really instill confidence that we could make a run from the East?

What fall? We were tied for 2nd in the west. We are now 3rd. What an epic fail. You need a new schtick tho cuz this one was old months ago now.
