[2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)]

Just wanted to chime in RE: Brady O, dude wants to get paid. Hope he sticks with us but especially as a RB and being the CFL... you only get so many years.

It sucks, but I understand it.

Facts. Based on my own experience

Yeah but his last two appearances he won them both back to back didn't he? I feel like that repaired his legacy a lot

Honestly i dont think it is fair to put Calvillo on the same level as Collaros.

As in... AC was a way better pocket passer.

[Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros]

Are we so spoiled as to be dissappointed with consistently being in the GC? I know we obviously want to win, but you can honestly say this year wasnt fun

[Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros]

Personally, i thought one big gaffe that has largely gone unnoticed was O Shea not challenging that 'incomplete pass'

Sure, Als were in 3rd down thereafter but that allowed them to punt instead of us getting the ball closer to midfield.

Thoughts? Anyone else felt that was a fumble?

those comments right there...says it all...Thanks Osh....good god

Those comments cause not only short term pain (the loss last night) but longer term issues.

What message does that send to players that were told to sit when healthy (Rose, O'Leary-Orange)

[Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros]

Just here to say the sun will rise today, boys. Don't dwell on it too much, there are more important things in life than football.

[Grey Cup Game Day Thread. Let's Go!!]

Bright side of things:

1. MTL winning means SSK now has the 3rd longest drought, behind BC (2011) and HAM (1999)

2. Honestly, sucks they lost but that is why you play the game.

3. We didn't lose on a too many men penalty lmfao

Oh god 2019 replay with Keith Urban commentary is still cringey af

I could tell you how it ends if you want to save time.

This game just makes me miss prime Darvin Adams. I know he's too old now and Bailey has largely taken his blocking role, but dude was just nasty for other teams to deal with.

Zack would put in an effort...A Strev would literally run his ass down....so yeah...I would want to see my guy make an effort....as would anyone on the team want to see their leader make an effort....If your leader gives up...what does that tell your squad??...I'm talking from a place of experience and playing at a high stakes level...not as a delusional fan

The correct situation there is to obviously prevent the score. In fact Collaros was put in the situation - in a more meaningful game scenario, he stopped a fumble return in the 2021 Western Final against SSK from being a scoop and score. SSK did eventually punch it in, but the fact you at least give the D a chance to make the stand is much better.

Also, just from a morale standpoint, nothing is more demoralizing to an offense than a defensive touchdown.

[3 stars plus hh bc sucks bombers back to the gc]

For those wondering, 9 team sacks ties a CFL playoff record, the record overall (including regular season games) is 13. Though team sacks as a statistic have only been tracked by the CFL since 1978.

[3 stars plus hh bc sucks bombers back to the gc]

Kudos to the Bomber marketing team having a sign on the jumbotron:

"The BC lions have requested silence while on offense, please respond accordingly" or something to that effect

Was at the game. Our fans are amazing. Even during the Jets playoff run a few years ago, Jets fans can only dream of bringing the same level of sheer madness and devotion that Bombers fans do. There is nothing in this city like a Bomber game. Not even close.

HH to the little 10-year old that was cheering so hard he broke the plastic clapper thingy he had and then started hitting the remnants on the back of the seat to continue making noise.

[East Final GDT - Argonauts vs Alouettes]

MTL with the start they absolutely needed. Lots of game to play still

Pretty excited for the game tomorrow. The Bombers spent the entire 90s through the 2010s (mostly) shattering my soul, but they've certainly made the wait worth it. Hopefully the boys bring it home and it starts Sunday. I hope we play a clean game shove it down the Lions throats.

Uh... just to clarify - kickoff is today (Nov-11-2023) at 5:30PM, correct?

My rule for all bomber games is drinks for the missus are free.

When in doubt liquor up lol

You’d better not be planning to watch the game from your La-Z-Boy making a wish like that. Fans in the stands would prefer a bit warmer. 

Hahha no. I set behind the away team bench. I always tell the opposing team to at least buy the space heater dinner first

[Week of BC Lions at Winnipeg - Western Final Edition]

I hope its -25C and the leos huddle around that stupid space heater while our boys are out there in sleeves.

[3 stars plus hh turning cowtown info browntown]

Bailey is a monster WR and always shows up in cold weather games.

I think my fav part of attending home games is 100% certainty i dont get to hear Suitor lol

[Winnipeg Versus the Ponies Aka Battle of the Reserves GDT]

I hope the Leos take care of business next week, just so we can make fun of them huddling near the heater at IGF

[Winnipeg Versus the Ponies Aka Battle of the Reserves GDT]

Qb kneels the rest of the game. Just get out healthy ffs

[Winnipeg Versus the Ponies Aka Battle of the Reserves GDT]

Baillley with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th effort. Even ran through his own guy lmao

In b4 unnecessary roughness for hit to the head
