September 16, 20213 yr comment_522097 Maybe I'm selfish, but I really want the Bombers to make it as back-to-back champs, so I'm open to any help we can get. Edited September 16, 20213 yr by M.O.A.B.

At least in the East that’s a guaranteed playoff! If crossover rules come into play, then a sweep of the Elks gets us to 8 wins, and Edmonton could not catch us, so we lock down 4th place. Assuming the 3rd place team in the East is no better than .500, we would get a playoff spot on those 3 wins alone.

If we get the 3 games against Edm, Riders cant catch us also since, they need to win 6 of their 9 remaining games to get ahead of us. Edited September 16, 20213 yr by M.O.A.B.
September 16, 20213 yr comment_522105 yup...can here it now...not a true indicator of how good we are..we beat all bum teams...hahaha
September 16, 20213 yr comment_522107 Too bad I can't watch the game. I'm in BC this weekend and wont be in the hotel until later that evening. 🙁

Add a Calgary loss anywhere in that time and we clinch a home game, add 2 Sask. losses and we clinch first place by game 11.
September 16, 20213 yr comment_522116 Honestly, going to have to see this kid on the field before I feel comfortable. They have some good WRs

September 16, 20213 yr comment_522120 So, it's a neck injury, which he got last week. But, that wasn't disclosed in the injury report? I hope the Randy fines the Elks for this.

Yes, I think so. He left practice today. Apparently, he was cleared to practice. Tough case of Jeffitis. Clears up in four games, I think. Edited September 16, 20213 yr by JCon

He may have been taking first team reps. If thats the case nothing will happen. If not then they should be fined. https://www.cfl.ca/2021/09/14/bombers-elks-injury-reports-harris-not-participate-tuesdays-practice/ Yep the tuesday practice has nothing about him on the mend. Normally I would be worried about a back up. But we've seen QB changes against our D this year. These guys should not fall for a trap, especially a rookie qb.
September 16, 20213 yr comment_522133 As an OSU fan I have watched a fair bit of Taylor Cornelius, and even watched him in the XFL because he was OSU alumni. Here is the skinny based on what I have seen. Strong arm and can really zing it. Accuracy a big time issue on anything outside the tackles. He will look to make hay in the middle and seams. BIG, and strong, and actually really mobile. Not an easy sack at all and a surprisingly effective runner. The Bombers DL need to wrap up on this guy. Interception prone as he telegraphs some passes but gets away with it a lot more than he should because of his arm strength. When he's in a rhythm he can be very good, when he's bad...he's really bad. Bombers need to force him to make throws outside the hashmarks and not escaping the pocket by breaking tackles. That's my 2 cents based on what I've seen.
September 16, 20213 yr comment_522136 Honestly having trouble remembering the last season where all (or even almost all) the starting QBs from game 1 stayed healthy throughout the year CFL-wide. Any ideas?

Good to have another bye week at the end of the season like 2019....sort of bye week anyway...
