Well we can agree to disagree. In a Grey Cup hosting year, not spending to the cap would be odd to me. I agree they probably wouldn't care about going over the cap up to the loss of a draft pick. But I also don't think you can really plan for that given the nature of the game when it comes to injuries.

Not really sure where Wheatfall fits. Guess he will be on the PR? Can't take Lucky out at this point.

Is there something in the CBA about holding the rights of an American player? I thought you had to release them if they signed in the NFL.

But that's not how it works. They don't get a separate QB salary cap. There was no way BC was banking on Rourke coming back this year and keeping the money aside. My best guess is they are paying him peanuts for the rest of this year and are giving a big signing bonus for next year along with a big salary. VA is as good as gone after the season is over.

We've dug ourselves such a hole that our margin for error is pretty thin. Everything is trending toward the Bombers being back in the race. But this next game against BC is going to be vitally important. If we lose this one (I don't expect it - truthfully) things will not look good for us at all. The difference will be being within 1 game of BC with the season series vs. Being back 4 games (because we would no longer have the season series) which would be pretty devastating TBH. That said, even if we mess that up, 3rd in the west would still be attainable. If we want any shot of a home playoff game we need this one.

I'm actually scared for Masoli. The dude is a play away from injury every time he takes a snap. And worse yet was when he fainted on our sideline weeks ago

What is the right call anymore? If PI was the right call on that play then the interception on Demski 2 weeks back was triple PI.

What an offensive explosion at the end of the half

Was that a fake slide by Crum? (few plays ago)

Tried to let it bounce into the endzone

After watching that play a few times I can't see how that was intentional unless he knew what he was doing going over the pile.

A very boring game is going to get a lot worse with this rain.

It's entirely possible that we are going to be right back in the hunt. BC likely without VA Against Hamilton at home. We seem to have trouble with eastern teams sometimes but we're at home. I like our chances Back-to-back against the Riders when they are down trending. I won't pretend like we will win Labour day. That is a tough one. But I think it's better that we are playing our best defensively in that game. And it seems we are. 4 games that are very winnable. Critical games to win the season series against BC and Sask. I'm excited.

I find it very tough to believe that the Elks won't manage to lose this game

It has to be "clear" - the command centre (probably) Seriously though that was egregious. Did they change all the rules in the offseason?

But yet you just know they'll elk it up

Some horrible throws by Ford but it's early

D was a revelation. We even got some real QB pressure. Great to see. Saw a lot of really good linebacker play as well including Michael Griffin mucking it up inside the tackle box. Maybe the biggest game from our offensive line today once they got established. Zach was dropping back and felt comfortable in the pocket. Lucky - he's not leaving the lineup. He didn't play the majority of snaps but he made a big impact anyways. For a smaller guy he is exceptional at getting extra yards while a guy is trying to tackle him. You really see his veteran savvy.

Can play the 50/50 without going to the game. But maybe not everyone knows that.

My take on Neufeld is that he got old, he's never been a supremely athletic guy, and he's been relatively injured since the start of the season. Did he get hurt in that game? Even just a small aggravation is going to turn someone who was just getting by into a complete liability. So I think that's where we're at. He's on the 6 game and I don't particularly think he's coming back barring massive injuries on the line.

What a series for Hubert where the OL in charge of blocking him gets a procedure call and then the next play he goes and draws a holding penalty. Last round in the CFL draft. What a steal

In a low scoring tight game the difference was a free touchdown for Toronto (that was PI without a doubt. Embarassing) and a terrible spot which took our opportunity away to win anyways. And then there were all the ways the Bombers were trying to give the game away. It's comical at this point.

You gotta show your X you believe in them is such an O'Shea thing to say ;😉

Ranking of entities wanting the Argos to win: 1. Bombers 2. Refs 3. Argos

I don't mind it. It's a yard we've gotten automatically this year and we got screwed by the refs once again.
