Best chance to make a home Grey Cup, or even the playoffs at this point

Going to need 2 wins out of 5 atleast.

Edmonton and Ottawa games, must wins




Jesse

Even once BC wins tonight. We're still in 3rd place in the West.
My wife is amazing!

East looks easy now, but when Alexander and Kelly come back those teams will be impossible for our current team to beat in a post-season setup.  And even if you beat one, you have to beat HAM.

So don't wish for the crossover.  It's not going to save us.

I think we have to find a way to play top ball right at the end and go the hard WSF/WDF/GC way.  And that would take a miracle.
Never go full Johnston!

BC looks worlds better than us right now and if Ottawa plays next week like tonight we'll be in tough against them.

We re in tough against everyone, we re the worst team in the league!!

we have a losing record, and i don't think we have won a game vs the top teams (cal and sask)

the ONLY shot at making and winning the playoffs is a healthy ZC who figures out how to not throw INT's. to do that we need our oline to be much better and offensive schemes to assist with max protect.  we have the running game, we have the recievers, it's "simply" offensive line, having Zach available and offensive play calling. 

no zach = no wins

TBURGESS

We haven't beaten a +.500 team or any team above us in the standings. Unless something changes drastically, and I don't mean Collaros comes back, we're kinda done this year.

We're 3-7 in our last 10. It doesn't matter how we back into the playoffs probably. And missing altogether is probably better than a 50% chance now.

So you're saying we have a chance??? Seems like a line from Dumb and Dumber! - I really do not think we have any chance! The 2025 Bomber Team that was put together by our esteemed management team is without a doubt one of the worse ever assembled IMHO.

a chance with some caveats that likely won't happen.  i know you are old enough to remember some of those really bad Bomber teams of the last 30 years - we aren't close to those with ZC in the lineup.

 with strev as our starter - we are close to being the worst cfl team in the history of cfl football.  he isn't a quarterback.

Sway

I see Bombers only winning vs MTL

And BC winning , Toronto and , Sask last week of season.  Maybe split with Calgary


Cross over is the best chance to make Cup, I say go for it.

Full force Zach for playoffs, maybe a trick play, maybe a couple sacks....who knows what could happen ;D

Yeah I am certainly old enough to remember those days all too well. I remember the year we had a coach from the states that admitted he really did not understand the Canadian Game. Heck I go back even farther and remember getting into arguments with my in-laws that Bud Grant stole all his plays from Forrest Evashevski when Forrest was HC at Iowa. Long discussions about the Wing-T and Single Wing-T formations!! Gads I feel old!! ;D

Cal must have owed Daryl a favour, no other logical explanation for that hire.

One of the worse ever! This statement is ridiculous and frankly I am surprised it came from you. Sure have some horrid weak spots and brutal coaching decisions especially regarding personnel and O play calls, but no where near "worse ever". Come on man!
