Brandon Alexander moving to safety was one of the factors that totally transformed our defence. He can lay the hit stick and has the speed and cover abilities. Love the way he plays.

Legghio is the future....they're not done with him. I think they want to groom him yet, but having Castillo back would be a really nice get.

Was tired of living the in shadow of Mike O'Shea

Re-watching the game again, now that I can fully calm down knowing that we win - a lot has been said about the Ti-Cats taking a knee on the kick-off to make it 25-22, but what about the mental error on the previous kickoff after the Demski TD, where the Ti-Cat player tries to bat the ball out of the air (and unsuccessfully hits it as it goes by him) and then it sails through the end zone. If that player had been coached properly by his special teams coach Reinebold (lol) he would have let that ball sail through the end zone untouched, which according to CFL rules, would not have resulted in a rouge. As much as the knee to make it 25-22 was important, it wouldn't have been as big a deal had the Hamilton player not touched the ball on the previous kick-off before it went through the end zone. Mental errors. As I said previously, it's amazing to me how these games always boil down to a few important plays, that either make the difference due to superior human effort or mental error. Finally, due to an over-riding amount of talent and coaching, the Bombers, after being on the short-end of the stick for so long, are finally winning those battles on the important plays that make the difference. You can't tell me if the roles were reversed, that Janarion Grant, sitting back waiting for the kickoff with a strong wind in his face, would have touched the football before it went out of touch in a game that close. He would have been told by the coaches to let it go through the end zone without conceding a point. Because that's what good coaching in that situation would have advised, and Hamilton, in that situation, did not have good coaching. Thankfully, that's what we have. FINALLY. We out-coached Hamilton in every phase of the game. So great to see after so many years of other teams out-coaching us.

Disagree. He has a good leg.

We really need to be able to carry 3 QBs without penalty. It's the only way to have a vet back up AND groom the next generation.

Me and the Wife completed the trifecta today: Astrazeneca, Pfizer and topped off with Moderna.

Also, MOS said he was coming back for 2022 at the GC celebration. I think Arash was looking to get his name out there.

He was given it in 2022. There was no competition at the #2 spot. You keep Legghio. And you keep Castillo. One punts. The other kicks.

Listening to the press conference takes a lot to admit that he has taken them as far as he could.

We need to fivepeat so we can joke that our core guys have more rings than the Riders in their entire history.

Can confirm from a reputable source he has two Grey Cup Championship rings.

Stop making excuses! The backup qb played bad in his first ever start therefore he he trash and must be burned at the stake! McGuire had the deck stacked against him and judging him solely on that game is doing him a massive disservice.

Most of which were thrown in a rain storm.

Don't change the conversation to something that is not even remotely comparable to next year. We aren't talking about a non pre-season 2021. We are talking about a full pre-season 2022. It was perfectly reasonable to do what they did.

There's never a good time to resign/get fired during the NHL season. I suspect that the pressure was starting to build on him and agree with what others have a stated... resign or get fired. We needed a coaching change. On a side note, I feel bad for the human being that is Paul Maurice. Always tough to walk away/lose a job. I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

It's ridiculous for any of us to judge McGuire at this point. The ONLY thing we have to go on is the monsoon game in Montreal. We have no idea what he has or doesn't have.

I'm thinking that's the one area that Walters won't sacrifice. His commitment to having a quality OL, has been unwavering.

You can't shame the un shameable as I have said they don't care about any but themselves and they certainly don't care about front line workers who some will depend on to keep them alive

I am so sick of being punished for someone else's selfishness or stupidity

We almost have more rings in the last 2 GCs than most Rider fans have teeth.

I think the 90s Calgary string of QBs was pretty ridiculous and more like the Esks.

Matt Dunigan, wow what QB stable Edmonton had back then, crazy. I believe Damon Allen came later to as a backup to Dunigan..if my memory is right.( just saw last post forgot about Ham...)

Not everyone will be able to appreciate the rain storm factor. Or the OL playing it's worst game of the year. Or, key starters out.

Having finished a 14 game season, I didn't hate it. 18 games seems like a lot. If financials were not the biggest factor, all things being equal, I would be good playing 16 games and having the season end 2 weeks earlier.

If the Bombers want to bring back McGuire I'm OK with that but it would be monumentally risky not to try upgrade at that position. He's a 3rd year guy, we should bring in a vet to either push him or unseat him at backup.

Love Maurice...always have, always will. Great hockey mind, great orator on hockey. I think he's a leader of men. But every coach is hired to eventually be fired one day. At some point, every coach turns into Charlie Brown's Teacher, and you need a new voice to get their attention again. Such a shame...Winnipeg just lost a really good one.

PoMo did what his bosses didn't have the courage to do.

That ties the record for most CFL all-stars from one team.

I think Liegghio has turned into a very good punter. There's a lot more to punting than distance. Directional punting and hang time are just or maybe even more important and I thought he was getting pretty good at that.

I guess I was ahead of my time. I never cheered for the green team. Although I hated the Edmonton green team even more. How could they have a high school kid kicking punts? Not fair at all. (timeline is a bit off here but there has been a lot of beer and stuff between that time and now)

If you want to know why the Bombers were the class of the league this year, watch that BA interview. It says everything.

Don't worry, he'll be wrong many many more times in the very near future.

I was always partial to a hail marie for a phrase, but throwing fajardos is an absolute winner.

Yeah I think we see a bit of aqb carousel this off season

Brandon Alexander said some unbelievably awesome stuff about playing here, the fans at home and on the road, when he was on Winnipeg Sports Talk yesterday. I love BA. I encourage y'all to listen.

Get your booster shots.

I thought for a long time that BLM would end up in Toronto. I'm not sure now given that Dickenson didn't make a change when it was clear that BLM could only throw Fajardos during the season.

33 Teams are ranked. 30. Winnipeg. The CFL Blue Bombers won their second consecutive Grey Cup and 12th in their history last weekend with a 33-25 overtime victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cars. That gave Winnipeg DE Jackson Jeffcoat as many championship rings (2) as his father Jim, who played defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s. Last week: Unranked

I just said he shouldn't just be given the #2 QB position again. He needs to EARN it. Which also means that he'll be brought back.

Congrats to the 11 Blue Bombers named to the CFL All Star Team!!

I agree. Another stupid Randy Ambrosie initiative to cut costs that affecting play as well as scoring. A QB driven league & we can't have competent backups or develop young third stringers.

Newfound rocky exoplanet has a year less than 8 hours long

Twenty seconds left in the game. Ottawa down 20-16. Saskatchewan was the heavy favourite. Clements was a second year pro qb while Lancaster was a 17 year veteran. Then busted coverage in the Roughrider secondary at the worst possible time. Gabriel wide freaking open. A 35 yard clutch throw & catch from Clements to Gabriel for the win 23-20. I remember just how big that play was. It was classic!!

We also have the shortest off season ever in the CFL this year.

Somewhere in Winnipeg there is a young stud football player looking at what Harris and Demski have done and have a dream of also leading the Bombers to a Grey Cup. They see how they are celebrated but that they also came back and committed to this franchise. Harris and Demski (and Oliveira next) have not only brought Grey Cups to the fanbase but have also sparked a new generation who will see the benefit of playing here in Winnipeg. They are truly the gift that keeps on giving.

If we were to lose ZC to either retirement/free agency...which I highly doubt in both regards, I would hope we be all over Reilly...I'm sure we will have our oline intact...with depth again, and him being able to sit in the comfy spot...move around if need be....he'd rip may a team a new arse.....prob put up numbers that make Zack's look pedestrian (No offence to Zack) He would be the perfect stop gap in that case to actually have that back to back to back repeat

Regina is a terrible city. Does that go here?
