2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season

[JohnnyAbonny]

Anyone else kind of bummed out today? First west final without the Bombers since 2017. Feels weird. 

[TBURGESS]

Both games today are old grizzled vet QB's vs young up and comers. Should be a lot of fun to watch.

Yes - but there's still football...

I was bummed mid way through the season when I realized that this team wasn't going to make it.

I thought maybe if they could back into a home playoff game they might be able to ride some momentum. 

When they lost to Edmonton I resigned myself to the fact that they just weren’t good enough this year.

Last hurrah of CFL games played under Canadian Football rules before they move to modified American Football.

Even after witnessing Zach hit the goalposts last week, I still think moving them is going to be the biggest mistake. And most likely irreversible.

It does feel a bit like the 1994 playoffs... Rourke winning the Cup as the first Canadian QB to do it since 1969 feels very appropriate this year.

And also won 2 of last 3 Cups under Dinwiddie...not his fault his team got gutted in FA last yr

Id take him over Osh in a heartbeat 

Yeah...totally lost their dline...top reciever Coxie missed most yr...not Dinwiddie fault...he who has won 2 of last 3 cups...

If you have to explain this to anyone it's a waste of time as they'll just double down because they're clueless anyway.

The Riders #1 receiver (IMHO) Keesean Johnson is not playing in the Grey Cup - he only practiced once this week due to injury.

Mike O'Shea, are you taking notes?

The Riders are dressing 1 American receiver in the Grey Cup game.  You guys would be apoplectic if O'Shea did that.  Let's be honest.

Their receiving corps is Jakobi Meyers, Ajou Ajou, Kian Schaffer-Baker, Tommy Nield, Sam Emilus and Mitch Picton.

They better hope Montreal can't get out of the gates because they aren't scoring more than 20 points on O.

The Als defense is very good as are their Front 7. If they sack Harris & rattle him, it's game over. We've all seen his game crater under pressure.

ALs players were chilling at my work a bit last night. Didn’t recognize any honestly but Very friendly and find myself cheering for them now. Have seen people in green but honestly not as many as I thought. I did laugh when I saw 2 old men eating and drinking together. One wearing an als jersey the other a riders jersey and jacket. That’s the CFL. 
 

CFL needs to promote how fan friendly the players are tho. And how they just are the average person compared to other sports. I’ve met jets players, they have come in also and honestly it’s kinda circus like at times, and they have this aura that they better than you and you know it. CFL players blend in. Humble. Normal. Down to earth. Your equal. Ace Burpee and Dave Wheeler are also bigger assholes than cfl players. Wheeler is brutal. I got some stories about him and weddings and wedding socials. Dude thinks he’s a huge star. It’s insane. Thinks he’s the biggest Winnipeg celebrity. He was nice to me tho I will admit. But just stories.
