Play him if cleared. It's a home game. Revenge match. We have a decent chance. They have just 2 wins more than us.

If Zach plays I believe we will see the best two deep ball vet slingers go toe to toe

M.O.A.B.

That's if our OL can hold up. The protection up front is not good.

It was posted play him even if he isn't 100%, which to me means he hasn't cleared concussion protocol. No clearance, no play.

Quote from: Blueforlife on September 23, 2025, 10:43:05 PMDoesn't matter who I want to come on or off but history and gut tells me Ayers ain't leaving the AR.  Yes I want Woods on. No I wouldn't trade him for Ayers.

You should and most of us think we'd be better with adding either Woods or Adams. I gave you the math and logic. You seem to see " Rudy " for the underdogs. What we can't figure out is why the coaches make this choice. He's not the best cover player even on the Bombers and he's not a Canadian.

One game at a time.

I should think for myself and my opinion isn't based on the what the herd or you would do.  Ayers is not a Rudy and that's not fair, accurate or needed to call him that.  Ayers made a massive play last game.  You don't take the hot, consistent hand out of the lineup imo.  Close call but that's my take and have have stated yours.  Let's move on, we are talking less about ball and more about opinions imo.

Pass on Adams.  Woods for someone else (maybe).  I don't know who else is an option.

Quote from: dd on September 23, 2025, 10:25:51 PMZach should not play if he isn't 100% and likely to be re-injured. This isn't an ankle injury we're talking about, its a head injury, from a guy who's had tons of them. This is serious. I don't want a guy to compromise his cognitive ability down the road for a 'maybe' win that may not matter in 2 weeks time. It took a miracle to beat lowly Ottawa, with Zach we stand a better chance of beating Hamilton, but I just don't see us keeping up with Smith, White and Lawler and BLM vs our injured secondary. Ain't worth it for Zach 's health

CTE damage has already been done, it doesn't heal and there is no cure, maybe it effects his long-term health badly, maybe it doesn't.  Listen to Zach's interview today, it's his football career and his choice, O'Shea isn't forcing him to dress or to retire, he's choosing his own path.  That being said it's obviously time for the Bombers to re-calibrate for next season, as his lost game time is having a negative effect on their record.

My expectation would be Zach to groom someone next year.

Hard to see how we get either of these 2 on the AR because of the ratio.  If we do one, it'll be Vant.
