My wife says this captures her feelings precisely

99.9999 % just care if they win however it happens
but a 1984, 1990, or 2019 style win would be much better for my nervous system

I think we all need to collectively tell our wives to go get us another beer. 

All the non sport fans in Bomber households are prepping their safe houses and/or getting their one liners ready, like the classic, 'you know they can't hear you, right?'

Answer: because it works and we are winning. Because he does what the club asks, works hard at a thankless task of blocking on offence and special teams, fills a big role on the short yardage offence which has been extremely effective this season. O’Shea has been open about his reasons but some don’t listen here because they have been convinced by others that O’Shea doesn’t have a clue how manage a roster, all actual evidence to the contrary, and would rather see an 8th d-lineman bolster our already number 1 defence instead of having a starting fullback on heavy package plays. People may not like the answer and tune it out in favour of their personal narrative, but it’s not like O’Shea hasn’t hid his reasons from us.  

Willy — not just ubertalent  — smart  — made sure of the contain
linebackers not named biggie. — giving me hope if biggie can’t play
hallett. Why not. With the the German, Cole and clements playing the oline, he got to do his Brady impression
HH Lawlor  duh
brady/Zach — just expected

Brown.....................just keeps getting better and better evertime out
Brady........................great talent......great person...what else can you say
BOLO/Bailey...........super talented receivers that make it look easy and it ain't
 
Great to see some of our 'not used' talent get into the lineup:
Fox/Cole/Kelly and Schmenkle made plays that stood out

1 brown all he did is drive the field consistently even after the cooler came in and killed momentum 
2 Lawson and fox studs inside really disruptive looked great together 
3 ol played a great game with lots of moving pieces
honorable mentions to Augustine, lawler, Bailey, 
hh lawler grab 
crunch of the game schmekle on mayor mccheese 
block of the game Dobson driving two defenders and Augustine 8 yards down field 
awe that’s dirty, the man the myth the dirty bastard him self. 

BOLO. — couple very nice catches requiring some size and hands
Johnny. —  looked like legit RB (remember when people argued he should start over Brady)  AND always awesome underrated special teams gunner’
Kelly/Cole. —  backup dline getting lots of love —. Backup LBs pretty good too
HH —. Brown/Castillo. — reliable/awesome/expected

Yes, have arrived in Bali...having left Lombok (ok, part of Lombok) in a state of excitment...about our Blue Bombers Grey Cup drive, down the stretch.....
In the spirit of international good will....a language exchange has been formed.
This exchange enables me to add interesting new phrases to my knowledge of Bahasa Indonesian.   In return, the local population has acquired a better knowledge of the CFL...as well as some useful phrases such as:
"Fake Argos"
"BC sucks"
"Riders no good"
"Bombers rule!"
"Elks roadkill"
I may be far away in body....but not in spirit. The Blue Bomber organization must realize that I am still watching.....
Go Blue!!

1. Brady duh
2. Willie  deflections, pressures, and finally …
3.  Kick coverage   not perfect, but I felt more confident with them … ditto kick return
HH.  Parker/holm

Cheers for winning before a bye for once.  My family doesn’t like me being miserable for two weeks.
I wear a woli jersey, but I loved Brady so much tonite  I had to order his jersey.  Nothing to do with the beer/scotch.
