While last weekend's results have left the Bisons with optimism that they could beat the best teams in the CW, the losses nevertheless reduced their odds to just the slimest of possibilities. They trail Sask by 13 points and MRU by 14 points with 10 games left. Could one of those teams suffer a catastrophic collapse? While Holy Trinity is 7 points behind the Bisons, they are only 12 points back of the Evil Monkeys for a West Division playoff berth.

The Banjo-Cats played well last weekend, as they have in most games lately. I expected a much better season from them. The Evil Monkeys have been falling down the rankings lately. They will have their season salvaged by needing just to finish ahead of Holy Trinity to make the playoffs.

This is the Battle of Division leaders. I doubt that either side will be overtaken, with the T-irds holding a 12-point lead over MacEwan and Bedrock U holding a 6-point lead over the Bluegars.

The Bluegars are one point ahead of the Banjo-Mutts. To keep the Bisons' slim hopes alive, they will want one team to sweep the other without any overtime.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed defensive back Bryan Addison on Friday according to the CFL Transactions page.

Collegiately, Addison spent six seasons at Oregon (2018-23) with 51 tackles (29 solos, 22 assists), one tackle for loss, four interceptions for 23 yards, six pass breakups, and one forced fumble in 54 games for the Ducks. In 2022, he had a career-high 30 tackles (12 solos, 19 assists), one tackle for loss, two interceptions, five pass breakups, and one forced fumble in 12 games.

He also played in the Under Armour All-American game. In his senior season, played both wide receiver and defensive back. He was named First Team All-Mission League after finishing the season with 46 catches for 582 yards, nine touchdowns, 44 tackles, and five interceptions.

Not only is he the perfect extra defensive back on the roster but with the number of mixed personnel we use I'm sure he'll get on the field more in year two on defense.

Blue Bombers re-sign receiver Gavin Cobb
January 16, 2026

WINNIPEG, Mb. – January 16, 2026 –The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Canadian receiver Gavin Cobb.

Cobb (5-9, 170; University of Manitoba; born: January 28, 1998, in Victoria, B.C.) returns to the Blue Bombers in 2026 for his second season with the club and fourth in the Canadian Football League after spending the first two years of his career (2023-24) with the Edmonton Elks.

Cobb appeared in four regular season games with the Blue Bombers in 2025, plus the Eastern Semi-Final, including two starts. He finished the year with six catches for 51 yards, including four receptions for 44 yards in a win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on October 17th. He added two catches for 29 yards in the playoff loss to the Montreal Alouettes.

A fourth-round selection, 30th overall, by the Elks in the 2022 CFL Draft, Cobb has now appeared in 33 CFL games, including 10 starts.

In his final season at Manitoba in 2021 Cobb pulled in 27 passes for 340 yards and five touchdowns while being named a Canada West All-Star as a kick returner after returning 27 punts for 250 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown against Alberta.

Quote from: Tecno on January 10, 2026, 11:42:27 AMAt the rate we've already been blowing SMS, and given OL & DL are arguably much higher priorities/concerns, I don't see how we have any hope of hiring any legit/proven #2 not named Strev.

Where on earth are we getting a $100-$150k above '25 QB room cost to hire a Crum or Powell or Maier.  Maybe we could afford a Masoli.  That's about it.

Money issues could mean we are rolling with Wilson #2 and Greek #3.  Careful what you/we wish for regarding dropping Strev!

Then again, if we put $400k more into our OL and make some great week 1 starter DPs and scouting finds, there's a good chance we won't ever need a #2!


Because we probably had some SMS left from 2025.

There are a few NFL QBs, who seem to have been given the instruction check your primary, if not there,  your second option , and if not there take off and run.  Those guys can at least run. Then there are dozens every year, who can't read a defence and their options.

I thought Strev improved at trying to read. His record seemed to say he seemed to do it, plus being behind a crap O line.

And let's be honest. If he comes back, he would easily be our second guy to start. And the way Collaros played. and the way Strev finished.....

Strev did pretty good behind an O line that gave the QBs little time.
