Bomber for life
2021 Divisional finals
Introduction It’s been 42 days since the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have played a meaningful football game. Since that game they’ve gone 1-2 in meaningless games and spent much of their time watching the play of other teams. It’s bound to be on the mind of some Bomber fans that complacency may have set in. Not […]

Semi-final predictions, November 28, 2021
November 26, 2021
A couple of great match ups this weekend. In the east, can the Als ride the back of William Stanback and Trevor Harris and upset the Masoli lead Ti-Cats? Could be an ugly day with rain and snow in the forcast, but I’m going with home field advantage and the experience from last years playoffs […]

It’s always hard to win back to back games against the same opponent in any sport but when you’re on the road, starting your back up QB and are going against a solid, highly motivated team that’s scratching to move up in the standings it’s almost insurmountable. Hence the prediction of Montreal 26 Winnipeg 18 […]

Introduction Lots of dancing in Bomber nation two weeks ago as the Bombers clinched first place in the west, securing the Western Final in Winnipeg on December 5th. In most years, clinching first place during the second last week of October would not be considered unusual. Typically, it would mean locking up first place with […]

Bye week predictions, October 29, 2021
October 29, 2021
The Bombers are on a much deserved week off but there’s still lots of CFL action. Calgary visits Ottawa where the Redblacks are in peril having just fired their GM. Should be an easy victor for Bo-Levi. Calgary over Ottawa. Later today, it’s a similar scenario when Hamilton visits Edmonton. Pick the Ti-Cats to devour […]

Introduction How hot are the Bombers? This is the teams best start since 1960 when that team (lead by coach Bud Grant) went 10-0 out of the gate enroute to a 14 -2 record. That team averaged 28 points per game on offence and allowed only 15 points per game on defence. They came into […]
