Agreed. No reason not to be excited for this one!

To me it's the most important game, win and there's a chance we could go for second, lose and we re fighting for a cross over spot. That makes this game a must win

Remaining weeks:

Saskatchewan: @ Wpg, vs BC

Calgary: vs Tor, @ Edm

Winnipeg: vs Ssk, vs Mtl

BC: vs Edm, @ Ssk

Edmonton: @ BC, vs Cgy

I don't see how EDM beats both EDM & CGY.  I think we're safe for the crossover.

If we can win one more, it's virtually assured.

[Tecno]

Ouch.  Just realized that if we crossover, which seems inevitable (unless we miss it completely), it's going to cost me mega bucks, as it will probably mean flying.  Assuming I go.  If we win in (say) HAM, might make sense to stay there a week and drive to (say) MTL.

There's one consolation should we miss the playoffs completely... save a whack on traveling costs!  But should we win both East playoff games, it will make for one epic moment a big fan might not want to miss out on.  It may be 2019 vibes.

Edmonton will have there hands full with BC next Friday in BC. Let's hope Betts can get to Cody. The only way I see Edmonton winning this one is if there D is lights out good and forces a number of turnovers.

If there is a 3 way tie then Calgary is second.

If Calgary and Winnipeg are tied then Calgary gets second.

If Calgary and BC are tied then BC is second.

Calgary just needs to win one game to eliminate the Bombers from having a chance at 2nd place.

Im currently hoping for a cross over for the Bombers. If BC wins their 2 remaining games then the Lions will clinch at least 3rd place.

Save your money, it's pretty much the antithesis of the 2019 vibe, this team is headed in the opposite direction.

I think the crossover is not just the easiest way to the GC, but the best, especially if SSK gets there.

Can you imagine a WPG/SSK GC in WPG?

SSK would be the "Home team"

It won't be a close game if they are healthy and we are short Demski and Vaval, though.

Lay another egg at home and the boos will descend from heaven, could become a wake up moment for the entire organization.

I would agree. The bombers have ZERO momentum for any run in the playoffs from what I see. Not to say it can't happen. For us old
Timers remember 1988 although that defence was head and shoulders above this team. They carried that team
To grey cup plus Bob Cameron put on a pointing clinic is my memory.

This could quite well happen, our last 2 games are at home. The next game, with 1st place wrapped up, Sask doesn't have anything to play for so I expect Harris to get the 1st quarter or so just to keep sharp and then Maier will come on for 3/4 of the game in garbage time. Could be a close game if that happens. Sask will kill us if Harris goes the whole way. The Montreal game will be interesting. Is Alexander still hurt, if he isn't, again he'll get 1st quarter reps to stay sharp and save him from injury for the following week. We could win both games or lose and if we lose both, expect boo birds out in full force !!

I heard that if the Bombers are the visitors they would still be able to use their own locker room.

Bombers are awful.  Is there a memorandum to the teams, stating this is t(e last year ever for the CFL? I. Ean why are the Bombers not trying?. I. Ean let's face it. Collaros is awful, and the Bombers brought in zero people to replace the guys that deserted the team.

I smell a rat?
