OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread - Footnote it is. Another long off-season ahead.

[TS Quint]

It would have been better if the Bombers brought in Cornelius rather than Dolegala. Corny has plenty of flaws is not "good" but he has shown more potential over the years than Dolegala. I guess Dolegala actually playing this year might have played a role...but he is awful. With that said, he might actually be able to generate more yards than Wilson. With Streveler gone for the season, the Bombers probably have the worst backup in the league with the possible exception of Calgary.

Statement games by the Bombers on Friday. They absolutely destroyed the Elks. Bombers haven't won a regular season game in Hamilton since 2017 when the Cats were awful so I think they will be hard-pressed to win next weekend against a red hot Bo-Levi Mitchell.

If the Bombers lose and Saskatchewan wins, I'll be pretty worried that the Riders might sneak into first place in the coming weeks. While he doesn't generate as many TDs as you would like to see, the Harris-led offense seems to generate plenty of yardage.

Bombers by double digits and it will look flattering to the Ti Cats. Ti Cats are a one dimensional, predictable offense and the worst defense in the league. Their QB always has been and always will be a LOSER.

Their defense has really turned a corner since Chris Jones came aboard. What they were earlier in the year doesn't reflect what they are now.

Their offense however, is a bit of a mirage. Basically relying on Mitchell to drag them to production.

I'm not seeing it on the defense. The scores don't look any better. They've held one team under 25 points in their last 9 games.

I definitely don't share your respect for Chris Jones who left the Elks with the 2nd worst defense in the league.

One win doesn't quite guarantee the division. But pretty close.

Bomber scenarios this week

Lock in home playoff game:
WPG win vs HAM OR BC loss vs CGY

Lock in west division title:
WPG win vs HAM + EDM win vs SSK

Yeah I forgot to factor in the Sask win.

 

[bustamente]

If Demski plays this could be the same lineup in b2b games

Just popping in to say that it's been really fun following the Bombers' season exclusively via updates to this thread title.

Bleh we always underperform in Hamilton. Gotta keep it together, keep it clean and not fall into any traps.

Got to pressure Bo Levi-Mitchell.

Haha. Interesting to hear. I've been doing this for years now and honestly I've been running out of ideas for titles so they've been getting more weird lol. This one was supposed to be a spin on the old CBC show "Kenny vs Spenny" but I'm not sure if anyone picked up on that haha (it was a fairly obscure show I barely remember). Your not the first person to mention thread titles recently, so I guess I'm doing something right lol

Kenny vs Spenny was a classic, used to love that show.

"Love in the Time of Collaros"?

 

[bustamente]

Bo Levi will be missing a big target tonight in Shemar Bridges, ZC will have Demski

 

[Channelcat]

Ya, it's the CFL and the only thing that matters is winning playoff games.......but this feels like a huge test.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Chris-Ike blocking is looking fantastic. Underrated piece that's struggled with injuries in his rookie year. Young Milanovic-Litre.

Urgh sack back to long FG. Nvm punt after Neufeld injury. Only brought 6 OL with them to Hamilton, that hurts.

 

[FonRiesen]

That procedure penalty hurt us - Collaros taking the sack after. And now Neufeld is down...

 

[Blitzkrug]

What would this season be without more injuries?

 

[John Agar]

What would this season be without more injuries?

Not football...

 

[FonRiesen]

Is there a wind, or why didn't we go for the 55 yd FG? That's pretty solid range for Castillo still...

 

[FonRiesen]

Man, I went downstairs for a cookie during the commercial break, and by the time I got back Hamilton was punting... That's some efficient defense!

Percentages...?

It's early and the Bombers don't have a lead... ?

And looking for the earlier touchdown... catch the 'Cats deep... ?

 

[FonRiesen]

Good for Clercius! Nice catch for his 1st TD.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Made that one look easy.

Replace “cookie” with “cigarette” and that was me!

Collaros to Clercius for his first CFL TD!
