So for sure for sure we are out of the playoffs if we lose, right?  Weird how media & even the forum is dancing around this fact.  If we lose then CGY gets 9W, and with 2 games left we can only get to 9W and CGY will have the tiebreaker.  Therefore a loss today and we're out.  Right?

Well, if the team wants it, go out and grab it.  Don't sit around waiting for it to be handed to you.
Never go full Johnston!

You are forgetting about the Riders.

If the Bombers lose tonight the Stamps will clinch a playoff spot.

But, losing tonight doesnt eliminate the Bombers however they would need to do some extra scoreboard watching.

Bombers need to win 1 more game than the Riders over the next 3 weeks.

Bombers winning tonight will make it easier to catch the Riders and will also mean they still have a chance of beating the Stamps in the standings.

I've got some swamp property I'd like to sell too. If the Bombers lose tonight the odds are really stacked against us. Riders have 1 more win and will have a game in hand. They might lose twice to the Als but can we beat the Elks and Lions?

Of course we Could beat a 3rd string qb Lions.  ;D

This might be a win or get fired game for him.

This is going to be a very difficult game to watch. At times we start fast and finish slow. Other times we start slow and finish fast.

Whatever we do today can we at least play all 4 Q's with some level of consistency? Stop taking part of the game off.

I want to see if Jenkins gets some reps and make a difference. He's fast and going to be motivated to show well. In his 1st 4 games he recorded 4 DT's and we could see him both inside and outside.

Hopefully MOS and Co. don't just leave him sitting on the bench all game.

Also wondering how we make up for not having Ayers on ST's today.

The odds are long but what matters is the mathematical chance. You still have to play to win until the chance is zero.

So we may never see the other QB's this season at all. I am ok with it as long as we make the playoffs.

Sure. Odds improve if the Riders lose to the Als this weekend along with a Bomber win.

We also lost a couple of games on final play FG's. There is a need to find a way to close games and not allow that to happen.

I must have dejavu from before 2016, I absolutely detest depending on other teams to lose so the Bombers can secure the very last playoff spot, hurray we're going one and out in the playoffs! Especially when no member of the team including O'Shea will acknowledge they've had a very poor season. Hoping to see Walters take command and make sure they don't sleepwalk blindly into next season with the same ills.

This is going to be an incredibly entertaining game with two decent clubs going full tilt when it matters the most.  The weather is as perfect as it can be.  We have our leader back and the best RB in the land. It will be a big crowd.  Jenkins knows this is his time. He should flash.  Ayers will be missed dearly.  Teams been boss. We are fairly healthy.

I've got a sinking feeling that this will be the last game that means anything this season. 
Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

Unfortunately, O'Shea wears the pants in the realtionship with Walters, and Walters judgement has been pretty poor as well in some of his decisions. Like Daniels? What the heck was that all about? The only person I trust to get this back on track is Wade, but he's making money hand over fist, so may not have much incentive until its bites his bottom line.
