Despite all the negativity here against the Riders - still pulling for KG to get a ring. The funny thing (living as I do here in Calgary) I would root for anyone other than the Stamps! And after living in the Peg for 10 years and visiting Regina a number of times (clients there) I believe both fan bases are very similar.
And just to add some fun to the game can you imagine the chuckles around here is the Riders won the cup and all the comments around their H.C.? Wow!

I would sort of like to see Kevin Glenn get a Grey Cup Ring - just too bad it would have to be in Rider Green. 

Sorry gotta go with the Riders on this one. I think all of "Mo" is with them at this point in time. Hate to say it but think a Rider vs. Stamps or Rider vs. Esks Grey Cup is a better match than having the Argos in it.

Amen! but as stubborn as MOS is, I can see it happening.

I hate "what if's" also but even with a 100% healthy team I don't think we win. If for no other reason that a Richie Hall defense still gives up 400-500 yds even when healthy.

I did not watch the game - just could not watch it knowing what to expect from a Richie Hall defense. All the trends were there based on past performance by the defense. Bombers trending down - Esks trending up. One thing that someone posted on another post really resonated with me, something to the effect that did not matter what anyone said on forums like this - just did not matter to the folks that run the Bombers - and probably true. 
As much as I hate to say it - the Riders have a better plan in place than the Bombers do. I have no love for their GM etc. but he seems to understand how to build a team. Not sure Waters and Company do so.
I may watch it tomorrow but would rather not put myself through the aggravation etc.
In any event Bombers had a winning season and maybe that is all we can ask for these day.

I agree - but not sold on Richie Hall still - but the DL played their best game of the year. Not sure what happen to the Stamps OL they have been pretty good all year but not last night.

Just from a revenue perspective I would rather see the Riders here. It will be a sell out! Not so probably with Edmonton. From a win perspective I would rather face whatever the Riders bring to the table than face Reilly. As someone mentioned you can control him all game long and then he beats you at the end with a long throw.
I think entertainment wise I would rather see the Riders in town and all the build up etc.

I think Ground and Pound is what Calgary will do with their 240 lb back. Sam Hurl will have cleat marks up and down his font getting in the way of Messam - who by the way he will not stand a ghost of a chance of stopping. Gave my seats away as I am heading out to see Jersey Boys instead.

I agree - most of the talks shows here in Calgary are saying the same thing. Does not really matter though - they could sit BLM and the entire starting line up on Friday and not big deal - they still will have more than enough to handle the Richie Hall Defense. Heck they could get the Calgary University Dino's to send their second string and still win.

So Much Hate - So Little Time!

So Much Hate - So Little Time!

With TWO games left here is what I think could and probably will happen (note the term probably)
Week 19
MTL - Sask (easy win for the riders)
BC-WPG (a must win or else we are in deep do-do if we want to host a home game)
CAL-EDM - Calgary gets their mojo back and does us a big favor and stomps on the Esks
Week 20
WPG - CAL - hopefully a nothing game so anything is possible but to be fair I think Calgary will be focused on getting their game back.
EDM-SASK - this one will be interesting and not sure what to think- If and that is a big if the Bombers have locked down home field based on a win in Week 19 than this game determines who crosses over to the East and who comes to the Peg for the semi final.
IF and that is a Great Big IF we beat BC next week then what happens in Week 20 is does not matter all that much for us. However if we lose to BC in the Peg and need a win in Calgary in week 20 I really think we will be hard pressed to beat Calgary even though the game will not mean all that much to them.
What do others think?

I would start anyone over Sam Hurl - Anyone! I paid special attention to his play today and all I can say is that I could do better (and I am 72 years old). Worse MLB in the league hands down.

Amen! Could not have said it better! Never going anywhere  with the Richie Hall defense.

Gutsy win for the Bombers. Defense won this one IMHO. Justin Medlock did have an off day but he will bounce back next week. Solid win for the Big Blue

I tend to agree with you - just do not see the big blow out that others seem to think will happen. I will be happen with a good performance by both sides of the ball with a comfortable win.
