Banjo Bowl ( early talk )

[blue_or_die]

Not only wedge three games, but wedge ALL of them into the daytime window.

Yeah, woulda been nice if it was: eastern game at 12p (1p EST); our game at 3:30p (ensure no overlap + give us an extra half hour to pregame ); west coast game at 9p (gives us all time to get off campus, high five after the win, get some dinner, then chill in the evening).

Not the same since losing Jeffcoat. I have high hopes for Garbutt, though.

I keep hoping Garbutt or Haba will step up and out right take this spot.

Garbutt: 6 games, 9 DTS, 1 Sack.
Haba:  5 games, 4 DTs.
Hubert: 10 games very limited playing time 8 DTs.

A guy who is quietly having a pretty good season. Adams. 10 games, 14 DTs, 4 Sacks.

The CTV thing aggravates me on a number of levels.  I wouldn't have an issue with it if they broadcast on both CTV and TSN but to put in only on CTV is annoying because I subscribe to TSN solely during the CFL season because of the CFL.  I guess I'll have to get a set of 2024 rabbit ears to watch the Banjo Bowl.

And yes, overlapping the games is dumb

I thought Brown getting suspended would be a 50 / 50 call. No word yet, so it doesn't appear that will happen. It's already close to the end of business day back East. Teams will be back to practice tomorrow so they'd have to know by tomorrow am.

What does everyone think?

If collaros starts, we win.

If Streveler starts, we lose?

Bombers are favourited by 2 points at this point in time.

I think we have the Riders number at this point. The are in a losing spiral and playing in Winnipeg is never easy.

We win big even if we play Wilson at QB.

Woah! Shots fired.

I hope you are wrong, but sadly nothing would surprise me at this point with reffing and inconsistencies with player safety, etc.

Makes me wonder - Wade Miller essentially calls out the commish, and nothing, if that contributed to them then not issuing supplemental to avoid further controversy, or worse, to not "reward" Wade, that is even worse bush league. 

If nothing is said about the play AND Wade gets issued a fine (and some of our players for speaking out) - I wonder how that'll play out on Saturday.

I can't see our players doing clearly dirty intentional plays, but the fans could sure make it an unwelcome atmosphere for the visiting team and Ambrosie.

They had a D lineman playing o line and we hardly feasted. We didn't even snack..barely but a wafer was eaten.  Our own D line is kinda meh.

While Micah Johnson is not an Olineman, he his an elite athlete, and we didn't have a week of planning on how to take advantage of a depleted Oline, like we will for Sat.

The TV crew did focus on his play, and we rushed 3 and he managed to do well.

This week of practice will know that there is a chink in the line, and will be able to plan stunts to take advantage of what will have to be a limited oline playbook.

Thanks very much

Most powered antennas will get you the game (if close enough to the CTV tower) but I also know the princess auto ones get varied reviews.  They have some in stock online and they ship pretty quick.  On sale or clearance.  You can also check stock at stores.  If you buy enough they do free shipping.  Shop and support local (my favorite store lol).  There was a previous thread with a lot of good info on the topic posted months ago when it was announced that CTV would carry the games.  If anyone has luck with an antenna far outside the city I would be interested.  You should be able to get global and cbc and maybe an American channel if you are closer to the border.  Not sure if city TV is still on air.  Been a long time since I watched FTA TV.

Johnson will remain in the lineup because of his blocking

The criticism of our DL isn't warranted imo.  We have one the best defenses in the league, even with a lot of turnover and injuries.  We have had some pleasant surprises and our vets are steady and playing well.  Not as flashy or stat heavy as in past but they are doing very well and we are developing some new studs.

Not sure sacks matter that much when the Bombers are leading defence in some categories...

Aren't they allowing the least points per game?

We were also using a three man rush all game long...
