[Holden Caulfield]

Former Bomber Brendan O'Leary-Orange might have just given Lions their 8th loss.

But big return, BC doesn't need much to tie now...

It's encouraging seeing how much ass BC is sucking, but that was also us earlier this season ...

Good stuff, Hamilton!

Magic number for the Bombers to clinch the West is now just one.

Still technically 2 due to Sask. They need another win + a Sask loss, or 2 wins, or 2 Sask losses (plus a BC loss).

Nevertheless what a great night for the Bombers and their win and BC and their loss. Oh and Suitor is an idiot learn the game moron.

Sask is no threat to I, so I do not include them.

Wow what a game from the Bombers offense , lets dance.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Great night for the Bombers. We punched our ticket, now we just need to see about that first-class upgrade

Good to give him some reps. You just never know (was it Dinwiddie who came in for Glenn in the Grey Cup, after having never run a play outside of 3rd & short all season?)

Dinwiddie played football his entire life and couldn't throw a spiral. I don't think a few more reps would have helped him do anything.

He also couldn't see 20 yards of open space to run in on 3rd down.

PTSD triggered!!!

(-2 after an 0-4 start(that could of been at worst 2-2 if the O had been clicking at all) is awesome considering the injuries we've endured.

We aren't likely to get 6TD passes and 55 points in the playoffs but we've shown that we can beat everyone in the West so if we get it over 30 and the D continues what is to me it's surprising good play then we should be able to make some noise. securing home field advantage will also improve our chances of 5 Grey Cup appearances in a row. But man oh man do I ever want us to be there next season and win in what might be our last kick at the cat for awhile.

The way this season has gone i fully expect Winnipeg to host the West Final against Hamilton via them getting in on crossover. Because it sure as hell looks like neither the Riders or Lions want to actually go to the postseason.

Such a beauty the Bombers put up this weekend. What a show by Zach and those receivers. So impressive.

With the BC loss is got so much sweeter. Something way off about that team. I can't see the Bombers not finishing first, you think one win in the next 3 is so doable.

Saskatchewan is just a dirty team. Year in, year out.

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

 

[WolfHouse]

Crazy that hamilton looks most likely to win the crossover

Selfishly this is what i want above all else. I don't care who, or what round, i want a home playoff game.

Mostly because the boys want to go to a game and i haven't been i think since just after COVID. We were going to go this past week's game but as it is with folks in their late 20s, life finds a way to squash that. Kids, work, yadda yadda yadda. Can't go to the Toronto game since a friend's wife's birthday + thanksgiving.

Being an adult isn't as bad as the people around me made it out to be growing up, but man sometimes i miss the days where we could just go "yeah we're doing this" without having to plan around schedules/obligations

Good touch on the x in the title thread, OP

 

[WolfHouse]

Full implosion in process in BC...

If you look at it, that Sask DL has thrown two teams season completely off the rails...

 

[WolfHouse]

Bombers were so impressed by wilson that they released Scott...?

Doubt it had anything to do with Wilson. They brought in 3 QBs following the Streveler injury. Jake Dolegala, Bryan Scott, and brought back Darren Grainger who was injured in camp.

They selected Dolegala as the new #3 as he's been on the roster last two weeks. I'm guessing they've been evaluating in practice which of the two "prospects" they liked best on PR between Grainger and Scott and went with Grainger. Grainger is almost 5 years younger than Scott having turned 24 in July compared to Scott who turned 29 in August likely played a part.

I expect you'll see Grainger released again when PR shortens back up in mid October, then brought back for camp next year to compete for a spot.
