The Grey Cup, November 16, 2025

November 16, 2025

Greetings from Winnipeg. Now that the pesky Grey Cup festival part of the weekend is over it’s time to actually, play some football. Here are today’s keys to the game: For Montreal to Win It all comes down to how healthy Davis Alexander is. If his injured hamstring is healed enough to get him through […]

Semi-final weekend predictions

November 1, 2025

I thought it fitting to start this weeks predictions with last weeks opening song. It really does set the stage for the Eastern Semi-final prediction Opening Song Against all odds (by Phil Collins) How can I be here to watch you play – just see you lose without much grace? When I sit here holding […]

Introduction Yikes. What a difference a couple of weeks make. Week 17 saw the Bombers ride roughshod over the Ti-Cats as they rolled to a 40-3 victory. Then a bye week. Then a road game in Edmonton that surely would see the Bombers continue their roll. Uhmmm . . . not so quick. The Bombers […]

Introduction A 4-4 start may seem okay, but lets face it, the Bombers of 2025 don’t look like the Bombers of the past 5 years. A win against Toronto came about due to a kickoff TD and punt return TD that allowed the Bombers to barely escape with a victory. A win against Edmonton, well, […]

Introduction A 3-0 start seemed so promising for the Bombers but since then???? Well, not so much. Two losses in a row to a Calgary team that was on fire could be considered a glitch, but July 26th???? A 31-17 loss to the Argos, who had but one win on the season, well, that was […]

Introduction It’s been a long two weeks since the Bombers took to the field. A long two weeks to digest the debacle in Calgary on July 3rd that saw the Bombers lose 37-16. That loss was bookended by two Collaros interceptions, one in the first quarter and one in the fourth and it felt like […]

Introduction At the start of the season the so called “experts” around the CFL had the Bombers in the middle of the pack. They’d probably make the playoffs but were a team on the decline. Well, tell that to the BC Lions. Against the Lions the Bombers defence registered 4 interceptions and 3 fumble recoveries […]

Introduction Tempting to do “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” yet again, but really, which is the most wonderful time of the year? Is it the Grey Cup? Banjo Bowl? Or the season opener? Hell, whenever the Bombers play it’s a wonderful time of the year. Unlike other games though, the season opener […]

Introduction Well, here we are. Vancouver in 2024 and for the 5th consecutive season that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are representing the West in the Grey Cup. A rematch of the 2022 contest. Hard to imagine that the Bombers have been able to navigate the mine field that was the highly competitive Western Division in […]

November 8, 2024

Introduction Do you remember the mantra that any team playing a playoff game in Winnipeg would have to overcome both the Bombers and the weather? Well, whether it’s climate change, the schedule change, or just sheer luck, it’s shaping up to be a beautiful day for football on Saturday. 13 and sunny is the latest […]
