The boys should be back practicing this morning.

Except O’Shea has repeatedly said his veterans don’t need to practice.

yeah but Houston doesn't qualify as a bomber vet as he's only played 2 games for us this year.

As far as the depth chart, I think OShea just lists JT as a starter to piss off people on this forum.

I literally think this is true lol. He probably lurks my moniker and giggle's and guffaws when i slobber away at JT’s ‘skill set’. Whatever i can do to help Mr. O’Shea.

Well hey. We gonna get another draft pick to waste. 

Changes to the depth chart for tomorrow - Demski no longer a game time decision, listed as starting. WINNIPEG-at-EDMONTON_OCTOBER-11.pdf

The OL needs to have a good game, they’ll be in tough against a 9 man DL rotation and a pretty good LB corps. 

Edmonton can be had through the air if Zach gets enough time to operate. 
Ford is good obviously, but that’s far from an elite secondary. 

To borrow from Doug Brown, hopefully after tomorrow Ford and Ford can talk about how awesome it is to be on the same team AND their off season plans.

You know it’s crazy. I saw some odds of hosting playoff games and the bombers were 49 percent likely to host. I was thinking, guess they think we win out now ahead of both Calgary and BC.

It will be an interesting contrast of the two defensive philosophies -- us, who don't roster for pressure, and them, that do.

This isn't really about the merits of the team or any particular outcome, it's just running the numbers.

There's 12 games left, so there's 531,441 (3^12) different scenarios that could happen.  In slightly under half of those scenarios, the bombers host a playoff game.

It's possible after this week, the West #1 and East #1 and #2 seeds are all locked in, which means the last two Bomber opponents might not have much to play for other than staying healthy. That and them both being home games bodes pretty well for a home playoff game if they can take care of business tomorrow.

Dr.Strange is that you?

4 imp starters and a da on the bench with some good rotational canadians behind that. ol will have to come up big. Especially the short yardage crew. 

Roster is about what I expected.
