The top end depth of our wr core will keep us flush. But we are losing a lot of versatility and fit. If two guys go down at any one position in any game... that's always going to be a problem
October 21, 20231 yr comment_669570 I love the fact that BC and SSK are winless (a combined 0-8) record since playing us.

October 22, 20231 yr comment_670164 Three straight Western Finals hosted, first time since 1960-1962. Although we did host three straight Eastern Finals from 1992 to 1994. This really is a golden age for Bomber fans.

October 22, 20231 yr comment_670172 Yes the sask love and lie fest is insane... if ppl were confused by what fake news is, them mentioning mosaic being jam packed is definitely fake news. Then here we get stupid comments like... looking like a 5th straight sellout Matty, Matty says yeah just about meanwhile u see 15000 empty green seats and they say jam packed. **** Saskatchewan. The telethon team
October 22, 20231 yr comment_670174 Evidently 12000 in attendance is “Jam Packed”. 5000 is crowded. 10000 is stuffed 15000 is crammed 20000 is overflowing 25000 is packed like sardines 30000 is smells like sardines Edited October 22, 20231 yr by Rod Black

Add both teams paid attendances this year and you still have less than us.

October 23, 20231 yr comment_670233 The thing that is absolutely absurd is the single season rushing record is held by Mike Pringle (1998 - 2,065 yards) which is just lunacy. Don't know if that one will ever be broken.

And a good chunk of those yards came in the 4th quarter with the Alouettes ahead and trying the run the clock down. Everyone knew he was getting the ball and he still couldn’t be stopped. He was an absolute beast.

It's a complete disgrace that 2 teams out of the playoffs ended up #2 and #3 in overall attendance while the top team in the league is dead last by a large margin. If SSK is a telethon team then what does that make the rest of the entire friggin' league? OTT worries me the most out of anyone... a nice new-ish stadium with dwindling attendance season over season and a **** team with no direction or glimmer of hope for the future... maybe we should do another expansion draft to make them competitive for a season or two again (not serious, obviously)

October 23, 20231 yr comment_670241 Toronto with a season low of 11,555? Definitely not butts in seats. A couple games it looked like maybe 2000 people there.

I know IGF looks deceptively bare to the field camera at times, but I can confidently say most of those people are in the concourse or at packed around the rum hut. Not sure we can give BMO the same benefit of the doubt when we see swathes of empty seats. 50% full at best, at any given time

Winnipeg sold out against Edmonton, but there were lots of open seats in the upper decks. The concourses are packed, so lots of people attend but don’t sit. It is the same in Saskatchewan, where the open concourses and Pilsner Zone are full as well.
