No one looks like they’ll remotely compete with Winnipeg. Toronto is similar in the trenches, but with less talent at other positions. They have very strangely had the Bombers' number - the last couple seasons. coach17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then I feel like the rest wasn't soo far behind 4 minutes ago, Mark H. said: Toronto is similar in the trenches, but with less talent at other positions.

Mark H. Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Stamps running game could make some noise in the playoffs. Carey had 178 yards from scrimmage. coach17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Stamps scare me the most in the West right now and Toronto the most overall to be honest. Eternal optimist, Booch, Tracker and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Stamps aren't good... This was two shitty teams trying to let the other team win. As mentioned, there is a humongous drop-off from the Bombers to everyone else in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Stamps worry me most. They've got some solid receivers, they got a running back who is finding his groove and Paredes is his usual self .. if Maier delivers on his promise or BLM somehow rejuvenates himself they could 2001 us.

Nolby Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Stamps are starting to look like a sliver of what they usually are but Sask isn't a team to show that the Stampeders are a team to be scared of. This game really shouldn't of come down to a field goal to win,Bo doesn't overthrow his receiver in the red zone,Paredes makes his missed field goal then the game isnt won on the last play. Saskatchewan isn't scaring anyone and Fajardo doesn't worry me one bit,toss your receivers under the bus again for this loss why don't ya. kelownabomberfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I feel like you guys are basing your opinions on the fact that Cgy won the past two weeks and nothing more. They haven't done anything for anyone to be concerned about. The Riders are AWFUL.... Remember what we did to them? And the Stamps barely beat them. BLM looked awful in both games. Don't give either team a moment of thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give either team a moment of thought.... BLM made bad decisions and is clearly not very healthy. But you don't pass for almost 300 yards by accident. Their OL / running attack have been good and are getting better. SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means are they world beaters, but they are definitely the best of the rest right now. Also, they've got the stability and coaching staff to make some noise late in the year.

Nolby Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 So we are essentially 4 wins now ahead of Sask,I could probably do it but does anyone know the math for us to clinch the west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Yeah not really scared of either...both are flawed...but of the two Cgy is the tougher challenge and I think when all said and done will get second. Fajardo is NOT a top tier starter...their offence is pop gun and won't get better regardless of who is at receiver cause Fajardo can't push a ball with any accurate passes consistently...and their online is weak...and as has been shown...in games wear down in last 1..2 quarters...

This is the site I always use - he runs simulations based upon weighted (team record) percentages. However you can also change it to 50/50 (coin flip) chance for each team. He then summarizes all of his results, and provides a breakdown of the teams' seeding level at a high level based upon probability outcomes for each team respectively. http://www.sportsclubstats.com/football/Canada/CFL/Winnipeg.html TLDR; If we go 3-2 or better, we clinch the West without any help. 2 wins in any combination gives us a 96% chance to host the Western Final. Even if we go 0-5 the rest of the way, it is still possible for us to host the Western Final.

do or die Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 The right side of the Rider OL got caved in.....for about 60 minutes. Blocking and tackling still count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) If we win vs. Edm (win #9) and BC (win #10 and season series) we will clinch first in the West before the bye… even if we lose the rest of the regular season (10-4). Cgy cant catch us at 10-4 even if they win the series. We already have tie-breaker vs. Ssk. Tor worries me the most, to be honest. Edited October 10, 2021 by M.O.A.B.
