Actually I’m told Montreal will be in the Wpg locker room.
And so, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will occupy the Winnipeg Blue Bombers locker room for a full week at Grey Cup in Manitoba's capital. You just know Corey Mace is *really* going to lean into that with his guys tonight.

Didn’t blitz Harris once in the final minute. Hard to figure out
Once again the "prevent" defence primarily prevents victory. Soft, soft, soft BC pass defence and pedestrian offensive play-calling, running into teeth of Sask defence with a chance to nail it down. Tough loss but they were kinda asking for it.

The CFL’s Division Finals produce brilliant sports theatre—Mont. 19 Ham. 16 on a last play 45-yard FG; Sask 24 BC 21 as Trevor Harris marches Sask 76 yards in the final minute with Harris throwing a game winning TD pass with 11 seconds left. A Sask-Montreal Grey cup in Wpg.

Judging from reaction across the CFL, Ottawas hiring of Ryan Dinwiddie as GM & coach was a real stunner. Dinwiddie was still under contract to the Argos but adding the GM title in Ott. made it possible for him to leave. We all know what the speculation will be about his successor

Jonesy. I have Montreal by 10 in the East and Saskatchewan by 7 in the West.
Second last look into the crystal football as CFL get-to-the-Grey Cup games this weekend. East Final MTL @ HAM. Tiger-Cats by 4. West Final BC @ SASK. Riders by 6.

Brady Oliveira prediction. He wants to stay in Winnipeg, his home town. The Blue Bombers don’t want him to leave. How could they possibly not work things out???

The CFL and Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced this morning that the November 16th Grey cup game in Winnipeg is officially sold out.

Bomber defence gave up 383 yards passing and 176 yards rushing and Wpg’s offence converted only 3 of 15 2nd downs in the 42-33 loss to Mtl. Those are not exactly winning numbers.

CFL serves up 2 Division semi-final beauties…..Bombers rally from 25-3 down to take Mtl to the wire losing 42-33 and BC gets a last play walkoff FG to beat Calg 33-30. Awesome entertainment. Not sure how shortening the field makes it any better.

20 will be a free agent. So will 10. Count on them both being back.
@BobIrvingCJOB It’ll be interesting to see if 20 asks to be moved….

Oshea’s run of Grey cup appearances is over but there’s no logical reason his tenure as Blue Bomber head coach should be over.
@BobIrvingCJOB Ample time given, Mr. Irving...

The grey cup appearances have run their course. Can’t see any logical reason why his tenure as head coach has.

Zach Collaros made it clear he’ll be back next year. But lots of questions to be answered about who else from the entire offensive crew returns. Gonna be an intriguing winter on the player AND coaching front.

In what looked like was going to be an embarrassing blowout, the Bombers rallied from 22 down to give us a season ending thriller, a 42-33 setback in Mtl ending their great 5-year run. Bomber D had few answers for Als QB Davis Alexander who led his team to a stunning 550 yds of O

If the Bombers were going to lose I would have said it would have been because of their erratic offence. I would never have believed their defence would surrender 550 yards. Alexander’s elusiveness critical. Montreal full marks for 42-33 win. They are the better team.

Bombers can’t tackle, can’t cover, can’t block. Hard to watch.

Bombers have run into a buzzsaw in Montreal and all their flaws are being exposed. Embarrassing.

MONTREAL — The respect and admiration flow both ways between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes in salutes to the organizations, to the coaches and players. That much was obvious Friday...
