*This scenario all depends on if Drew is not hurt as badly as we may have feared on Saturday night

 

The Riders appear to be in deep doo doo because of their QB situation, and so are we without Willy. We know the Riders won't have their starter for the rest of the regular season so ... if Drew can play and we get some of our injuries back I believe we can make a run at fourth in the West. The Riders have as bad if not worse of a schedule than ours and other than Ottawa I wonder who Tino can actually beat? making the Riders miss the playoffs would be sweet and I like our chances crossing over better than going West. When are we going to hear about Drew's prognosis anyway?

 

edit* there's still a chance

Great news for blue bombers--No major structural damage to Drew willys shoulder. He's considered week to week, although unlikely for sept27

Like I said, homer of the highest order. 

 

It's called migsageration.

Oh I get it now. He's their Aardvaark. Well then that explains a lot.

Actually, MIGs is banned from riderfans, so not really.

I wouldn't be surprised if Winnipeg/Sask/BC all ended up with ten wins.

What's the three way tiebreaker? The team that gets fifth would be pretty choked.

I'd be very surprised if we ended up with 10 wins.  I'd be happy with 3-3 in the last 6, with one of those wins hopefully being the game vs BC.  I don't expect us to do better than 1-2 vs Edmonton and Calgary, more likely 0-3.

I was thinking victories against Hamilton, Ottawa, BC and one of Calgary and Edmonton. Might be a tad optimistic but I think we can do it if Willy is good to go and I think that's what it's going to take to make the playoffs.

Depends on Willy's actual health and how healthy the Bombers and other teams are during the games. This is the point in the season where teams start to get physically beat down.

Nope. Not going to get dragged into a bickerfest.. Willy wasnt the QB of discussion so bringing him in as context is simply a backhanded insult because you feel like we are insulting tino..

 

Too much to drink?

Not nearly enough to deal with the plethora of priders currently rutting around here..

Pretty sure it's win percentage between the tied teams.

Believe it or not, if we were to beat the Lions I'm pretty sure we would be in.

Believe it or not, if we were to beat BC and ended up in a 3 way tie we are in and the Riders are out.

Are you sure about that? Riders beat us all 3 times we played them.

If that happens:

1. Riders- 4-1 .800

2. BC Lions 2-3 .400

3. Bombers 2-4 .333

Riders beat Winnipeg thrice and BC once; lose to BC once. Lions beat Riders and Bombers; lose to Riders and Bombers. Bombers beat BC; lose to Riders thrice and BC once.

Riders would be 3rd, Lions 4th, Bombers 5th. Bombers would be out.

Edit: extra game added. Bombers would win the series against BC, but as the lions have a game in hand, Bombers would still be 5th.

If that happens:

1. Riders- 4-1 .800

2. BC Lions 2-2 .500

3. Bombers 1-4 .200

Riders beat Winnipeg thrice and BC once; lose to BC once. Lions beat Riders and Bombers; lose to Riders and Bombers. Bombers beat BC; lose to Riders thrice and BC once.

Riders would be 3rd, Lions 4th, Bombers 5th. Bombers would be out.

That's what I thought.

I think either the Riders or Esks have to tank big time or have the Bombers beat Calgary at least once to make the playoffs, IMO.

I think the Riders will tank it big time and the Bombers will make the playoffs, IMO.

well you are missing a game in there since it hasn't been played yet but I find it highly unlikely that those three teams wind up tied.

There are lots of options, win our upcoming game against BC we take the season series against them then we only need to make up one game on them. Edmonton or Sask could fall and the Bombers make up games on them. About the only team they can't really finish ahead of is Calgary (though technically it's still a possibility)

Yea the Riders and Lions would advance in that scenario, although your win/loss records are incorrect. If we can beat BC and tie them in the standings we need the Riders out of the picture.

Did Winnipeg already play BC twice? Thought the upcoming was the second.

Ya, if the Riders won an extra game, Winnipeg would get 4th over BC.

Yep...we trounced them at home already earlier this year.

Last time I checked the Riders are challenging Calgary for 1st.

LOL - I assume this is why we let Rider fans post here, for comedic value.

This forum is quickly losing its appeal.

You don't like football discussion between rivals? Relax it's all in fun.

I think people just liked it better when this was the place to go for intelligent football discussion.

Suddenly Shankman doesn't seem so bad....

Is this the official start of the ''recruit Shankman to morningbigblue'' movement?

You expect me to memorize every game of the season? Just a mistake.
