October 27, 2017

Introduction A month ago the Bombers were penciled in as the only legitimate contender to Calgary in the West. With both the Riders and Eskimos mired in losing streaks and the Bombers rolling over their opponents with sensational offensive performances, it seemed that the Bombers were just one Calgary lose and a Bomber win in […]

Bombers are on the road and with the two recent injuries (Leggett and Adams) and coming off two mediocre performances (one a win and one a loss) they could be in tough this week against the Ricky Ray lead Argos. I’m picking Toronto in this one. Elsewhere Calgary over Sask Edmonton over BC Hamilton over […]

Introduction Greetings! So after that solid, workmanlike effort against Edmonton two weeks ago the Bombers laid an egg last week in a lackluster, out of character performance against Hamilton. The result undoubtedly left many Bomber fans frustrated and pondering who is this team? What’s their true identity? With concerns arising again on the defensive side […]

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 […]
