Is there a Canadian receiver on their radar as a backup?

Osh would never have had his team score that last touchdown.

Noticed I wasn’t assuming Legs would miss. And I started to get excited when he got to punt. O made some progress … in some areas. Defence felt like themselves. I finally noticed Lawson. Great to see the German. Gotta love Kyrie. Houston fine. And our future HOFers did their stuff. Still not in love with the nickname (DS), but love that they have one. Might have been the beer, but I loved the blue pants!

And amazing performance in intrasquad game!!!

Family friend is 5 year Oline for Queens and very smart kid. Says Cam is a “great teammate and a beast” (uSport level). definitely a position need for team and they likely judged better than anyone available at 9.

2021 wasn’t better than 2019 … but 2021 made 2019 better. First cup in 29 years was a huge relief … but it was also just one cup in 29 years … now we have two in a row. Our players were amazing in 2019 .. but there are Grey Cup winners every year … now they’re a once in a decade team. “Finally” was turned into memorable greatness.

On the 1st and goal on the 5 .. when I was feeling despondent for the hundredth time in the game .. I thought of 1988 and mike gray and thought you never know. .. Nichols!! .. lots of key moment deflections or knockdowns by our DBs this year.

2001 did not feel like this. We kept winning, but it didn’lt feel dominant. This is like the the 80s. The Bombers I grew up with. I was still worried everyone was too cocky. Hard not to be. Defense. Everyone. Harris. Demski. Eli. The German. I’m going to start flying to every game.

My first in-person bomber game in awhile. Behind the Bomber bench there were way more Bomber fans than Leos. No wrong answers Collaros and DLine amazing but just expect this now. 1. Lawlor. Catching everything. 2. Wolly. Like we thought he’d be. Hope he’s ok. 3. Corners. Jones running routes better than receivers and Alford’s diving knockdowns. And Harris, Oline, Rest of defense. And ST not looking awful: kicking OK (nervously right on first one, then good; nice kickoffs) and Grant looks like a kick returner who has a chance at a kick return.

Of course Dline. And also blitzes were working for a change. Alexander and Bighill in the middle seems a good thing. New secondary boys 45 and 32 have game. I hope Italian Trevor Kennerd does well. The kickoffs seem to be getting longer. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a quarterback with throws this accurate. I think it helps.

Loved Zach’s postgame interview.

Win wasn’t complete without Odds and Sods. Life is normal again. Enough beers I’ll have some gin.

Not sure why I never thought of Tom Clements comparison before. Kind of fits.

Facts: 2019 Bombers were a 3rd place team with their good players all 2 years older now. My mind: Bombers have been champions forever. They beat Calgary, Saskatchewan, and Hamilton over and over again every time I watch the games. Dominant defence, stout OLine and running, and occasional big pass plays. Clearly the best team of all time. so —- my mind destroyed the FACTS. andrewJR!!! …... Winnipeg tailbacks forever noah h. Not talked about much, but played a lot. Holder and replacement safety. love our defense love our oline want darvin back i forgot that before medlock, O’Shea never let FG kickers kick. Worked tonite, but not sure it’s a good long term plan. Legs punting seemed to look better and better as game wore on. I started crying for some reason during Tom petty song. We’re back!

Bombers how now signed all their own free agents they had targeted apart from those who got NFL deals? Speaks well of management, coaching staff, and culture. Come on down had to come back.

Very late comment. Anyone’s mind flash to image of Stan Mikawos when Bighill was picking up that fumble?

I had a similar thought. I hope you’re older than me.

I’ll buy one for Milt. My third son was nearly named Milt.

DO OR DIE wins Grey Cup!! ungava salute! Just like 1984, there’ll be a few more.

Andrew Harris. As a former and forever Winnipegger and Vancouver Island resident I couldn’t be happier. ******* fairy tale comes true.

29 YEARS!!! I have 3 sons. The middle one is 12 and the only sports fan. Telling him how I was 14 in 1984 and to remember this. He’s a big Raptors fan so probably thinks this is normal. I remember 1990 like it was yesterday. My current licence plate ends with 34N. My mnemonic is 34 is Greg Battle’s number. 2 interceptions. 2019. Harris. Jefferson. Jeffcoat. The German. Everybody. Much maligned midget Rider halfback crying. I am very very happy. My Edmonton cousin I last talked about sports to in the WHA days called. Over the moon. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Way too much beer, but I need to drink some go for Do or Die.

Andrew saying “For the W” at the end of that, DID bring tears to my eyes. F***. 29 years.

Harris and everyone who pushes the pile Willie Strev running again HH Hecht Very happy he’s not playing safety. But made a big play on teams.
