Introduction If you had told asked me what I thought the Bombers would need to do this year to be a true Grey Cup contender I’d have suggested that they would have needed to at least earn a split against Edmonton and Calgary and go 70% against everyone else (which would equate to 11 […]

I’ve been humming and hawing about this weekends Bomber game. A team on a losing streak vs. a team on a winning streak. Something has to give. Unfortunately I’m thinking Edmonton is just too good to suffer another lose. Edmonton 33 Winnipeg 28 Elsewhere Ottawa over Sask Calgary over Montreal Toronto over Hamilton Enjoy the […]

There’s certainly a different vibe at IGF this year. In season four at the new digs the Bombers finally seem to understand that home field advantage can be a real thing. Look no further than the Banjo Bowl and you’ll see the importance of a crazed fan base. It seemed that the fans were simply […]

Introduction Ahhhhhh, the Banjo Bowl. Game 2 of the mini season-within-a-season that highlights the Bombers schedule. For a short 7 days the Bombers ostrich and ignore the rest of the CFL and focus on their archrivals from the flatlands, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The first ½ of the double header is, of course, the Labour Day […]

Welcome to Labour Day! In Montreal, I’m thinking Ottawa may be finally getting their act together In Alberta, Edmonton won’t stop their slide. Calgary wins. In Hamilton, well, it’s a team in turmoil. Pick Toronto over Hamilton and…… In Saskatchewan? Riders are on a bit of roll and that home field advantage always seems to […]

Could be a week of upsets. Particularly in Edmonton where Sask is coming in on a high and Edmonton has more players in the infirmary than on the field. Here’s my take on the weekend. Pick: Edmonton over Sask, if the game was in Sask I’d go the other way but I think Rielly will […]

Introduction Darvin Adams, the Bombers star receiver, said yesterday that the Bombers had nothing to prove in tonight’s matchup with Edmonton. That the Bombers had already proven themselves. Hmmmmm….you wouldn’t think that by some of the comments this week on social media. Indeed, the Bomber fan base, at least those other than us diehards, seem […]
