Noeller Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Yeah, Yoshi likely scratched. He'll be good to go after the bye, I'm sure. I really wish they'd say more about Harris's knee and how long-term that's looking to be..... rebusrankin, Geebrr and wbbfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The Jets only control so much especially with the untouchable and constant "Next Year" Stanley Cup Champion Leafs playing on the same day. This schedule mix up doesn't bother me at all. The Bomber game is going to be way more fun and the Jets still have dozens of home games left. Like Noeller said, easy choice.

The Bombers aren't backed by one of(the?) wealthiest people in Canada so every person in the stands matters.

Jets season ticket holders for sure are going to some meaningless game because it is so expensive to pass up. Plus, if you are in a ticket share you only get so many games. It impacts attendance, you will never convince me otherwise. Edited October 22, 2021 by Geebrr Noeller and coach17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side of that is that when people have turned out the Bombers, more often than not, have **** the bed. Tonnes of good will, 30K+ in the stands .. lay an egg. If we get 25K tomorrow I'll be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 This time of year, if there was no Jets game, I could see north of 25k, but with the Jets game (not just people in attendance, but those that will stay home to watch the Jets on TV) at the same time, I think they'll be around 20k.....

A good game for a casual fan is lots of scoring and a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
