Banjo Bowl Pre-game.

Pigskin · September 07, 2026, 04:33:46 AM

It's going to be a very short week. The boy's won't see the field till Wednesday. The question will be who is healthy and who is not. Would be nice to get Demski, Kramdi, and Griffin.

Tecno · September 07, 2026, 05:49:54 AM

Yes, the bright side is kramdi being out for game 6 was more a sms thing than injury thing. He'll be desperately needed with woodbey season ended. He'll get SAM. Kelly will stay fs.

We've heard nothing of griffin in forever. I doubt we see him until playoffs, if at all. Same with Allen.

Who knows what's going on with moxey. But who knows who is less bad between moxey, Nichols and Texada. The main thing is people being healthy so we have options.

If ceresna is out, which is very possible, we'll be hard up for sure.

But losing pokey will hurt most as he command full respect from the d. I guess clercius will take his spot and singer stays in. I really doubt we start Frederic or whoever that pr guy is.

And yet we injured zero riders and they'll probably get a piece or 2 back and be stronger. If we're gonna lose the ldc we should at least be taking out as many riders as they are Bombers.

Where did you hear that Woodbey has a season ending injury? I didn't see anything on TV other then them announcing he was injured. Smith has been playing SAM the most and that probably continues when Kramdi returns.

I'm expecting Allen and Griffin to be extended on 6 game IR. We probably don't see them return this year.

Ceresna and Wilson may or may not miss a game.

Fredericksen has been has been gone for a couple of months now. Womack is our only American RW on the PR. We also have no American LBs on the PR right now.

Should have read the whole gdt then. I announced it when it happened. You can see woodbey in the corner of a shot going down with zero people around. He's just jogging then boom falls down doing the ol' ACL routine.

I'll bet a ton he's season ended. Could be Achilles too, the view was so brief. But sure looked to me like knee.

You heard it here first! Griffin better get healthy pronto, or we're rolling with Kramdi at Sam for the rest of 2026!

Tecno · September 07, 2026, 02:16:13 PM

The problem with the ldc being first is if puts huge pressure on us to win the bb when we end up losing, which is 80% of the time.

And now ssk has no pressure. They can just coast. And the cost of losing isn't high because what do they care? They are still plus 4 in the standings.

Of course, that's also why ssk often folds in the bb. We often put them way out of the game early. We can only dream of that happening in one week.

This year is different from the past 3 in that we only get ssk twice right? So score will matter if the season is tied. That said, it would appear ssk will run away with 2nd place now.

You may be right and it would be unfortunate to lose another defensive player.

As I suggested I think Smith stays at SAM and Kramdi goes back to safety. Smith has made some plays.

Points for and against might come into play but the Riders have 2 more wins than us. It's a long shot for that to be significant in 6 more games.

GOLDMEMBER · September 07, 2026, 02:42:29 PM

I think the Bombers will have a hard time winning in the BB

TOP 5 reasons why:

5) Poor offensive play calling, to predictable
4) the OL cannot pass protect to save there lives
3) This team is beat up and now on a short week
2) Younger's scheme soft coverage scheme is putrid and with injuries makes it to be even worse than if a healthy secondary
1) Harris was untouched last night, no defensive pressure (this is defensive scheme as well and/or severe lack in depth)

dd · September 07, 2026, 04:06:07 PM

I think we win the BB for 1 reason --- 30,000 fans screaming and making noise disrupting Sasks offense like their fans did to our offense....this can't be understated, HUGE advantage to have the crowd and its associated noise working for you.

Didn't Woodbey miss a lot of time already with some horrendous injury? The guys with previous serious leg injuries seem to be the most prone to reoccurrences. If he's out for the season I think we may not see him again, he was ok but he didn't really have a knack for making big plays and Smith and Ayers may be better options to replace him in the long-term.

Woodbey should never see the field again

based on that attempted "tackle" he should be cut. amateur effort couldn't even get the guy out of bounds

theaardvark · September 07, 2026, 06:12:45 PM

The SSK kicking game was the reason we got to OT this week. Add crowd noise on top, it could be the reason we have an advantage in the BB.

Plus, Mace will have to decide on which kicker to bring. I can't see him changing horses, but if he does, coming into PAS for your first game, with no ability to hear, I like our chances.

Pigskin · September 07, 2026, 08:00:15 PM

Practice roster looking a little slim. Taylor is our only American DB. Womack is our only (A) receiver. We have no American LBs. after trade away Tezino last week.

Like to see Jaworski come in for Reese. Reese got pushed around a bit. Jaws at 6'5" 260 might get a little more push.

gobombersgo · September 07, 2026, 08:20:21 PM

Teams have a 30 day window to increase their practice roster by 5 players.

The Bombers have a bye after the Banjo Bowl so I'm guessing they will bring in guys the week after the bye.

Maybe they will focus on players that can help out this season as opposed to bringing in guys to look at for next year.
