Game Day Thread MTL @ HAM, Thu Jun 4 2026

Seeing a lot of Wheatfall discourse. Maybe it's a rare take here, but I like seeing our former players succeed (just not against us). Fumble sucks but it happens. His time here he played well when given a shot, didn't mope or affect the team when changes were made and seemed to be Zachs favourite guy to throw hospital balls to.

He's not here because there was no need for him and he obviously got an offer somewhere. As well, he never fumbled for us. So to those saying "that's why he's not with us anymore", sorry but you are wrong

I mean he fumbled, but played well outside of that. S*** happens. BLM also threw a pick-6

Ya, bo did... But not in overtime.

Also see, that guy who fumbled that late ball in that gc for cgy in 17 or 18. He was out of the team pretty fast after that.

Ya, those are cups or playoffs, so it is different. But one must consider this is the first game with the team, which makes it seem worse. And I think many have the impression he was a throwaway by the Bombers.

Not like we couldn't have afforded his tiny salary ask.

I'm sure it'll all be fine. But... Maybe not. Wouldn't want to be him in the locker room after. That's why he sat on that bench way after that game ended. Feel sorry for the guy.

Speaking of hospital balls, who was that guy that got wasted on one in this game. An outlet hitch ball to the left of the qb. I think stubblefield blew him up.

Once his head stopped spinning he was looking at the qb like, why you trying to get me killed?

I think that was the worst thing he could do, have to shrug those plays off and carry on, everyone makes mistakes but have to take into account it was an excellent play by the tackler.  See that D-lineman trying to punch the ball out on the short yardage play, he threw 3 or 4 hard punches, IMO should have been a penalty.

The attendance number is worrying me... Hamilton has been the third biggest bastion of CFL support for a decade. Those fans used to come out no matter what. To see that stadium around half full is concerning.

Add in the fact the ps game they had was basically empty in the rain. So that wasn't just a fluke.

This is the first game a season ticket holder could have quit since Johnston's wild and wacky changes started. Are we seeing the beginning of the 5 percent who said they were quitting? And is it turning out to be more than 5 percent?

If this is a league wide thing the attendance will be horrid in Calgary tonight, as they were already down to like half full last season, without any help from stu.

If so, the owners, and this stu, knew about this for months as sths didn't renew. And if so, stu may have just robbed dazn!

Who knows. But we shall see! I really hope wfc sells out pas in 1 week without having to paper over too many seats.

We need more than one game sample size. I regard this as the last true year of Canadian football so I am still watching. Next year, no chance. Just thinking of the construction equipment in PAS makes me feel sick.

It would be nice to know the season ticket numbers across the league and whether they went up or down, that would be a good barometer that indicates which way a franchise is heading.

true enough, but when you fumble in overtime, you lose the game, simple as that. Why oh why are you carrying the ball flailing it around like a loaf of bread is beyond me, and that's on the player, you have to be mentally aware of the moment in which you are playing in
