Stole this from Riderfans
first game ever (exhibition)
-first regular season game (our home opener)
-first playoff game (West semi)
-first West final
-first Grey Cup game? Say it aint so.

I hope O'Day has a plan for '22, if the Bombers win the Grey Cup at Mosaic we may have to bulldoze it and start again. If they keep that team together they will certainly be the favourites.

Yea I'm pretty sure it was setup like that so teams still have an opportunity for an onside kick.  

Evans was already hurt in EF on his TD run...go watch the head to head shot he took from Butler...and then he popped into the endzone...I actually all week was wondering if he would play to be honest...U can see the impact, and his reaction...then after was seen grabbing back of his neck....just like in the Grey Cup....he also had those athletic strips on his neck at start of game if u look....he re-injured it on that sack falling to ground....almost thinking he shouldn't even have been cleared to play as he clearly had a neck injury he was dealing with...seen that impact/injury happen many times in my life...go re-watch EF and u will see exactly what I am talking about, and when it happned

As someone who coaches special teams for a while, I can honestly say the point single was not the worst decision I've seen. It was a high wind day, difficult to judge the ball. In those circumstances I would never instruct a player to let a kickoff get behind you. It's a live ball and you never know when it hits the turf how it will bounce. Letting it past you could result in a TD. You field kickoffs in the wind and don't get cute with it. Also, the returner would have been coached that field position against the wind is of paramount importance. If you don't see an obvious lane take the knee and take the ball at the 35. I know that the single point did not allow the Cats to win, but in my opinion, getting the ball for sure at the 35 against the wind is what allows them to even have a FG to try. If the returner gets tackled at his own 20 I don't like Hamilton's odds of driving the field for a FG try for the win against a gale force wind. 
In retrospect, it turned out to be a bad decision but we'll never know how it might have played out if he brought it out or let it go by. Could have bounced sideways and died in the end zone with the Bombers recovering it for the win, returner could have been hemmed in and tackled at his 15-20 yard line like he was in the 1st Q when he brought it out. 

true statement of team and why we win, and was how we were built....Cats focused om the Jeff's.....our guys in middle stepped up...even tho the Jeff's were still impactfull
Take away run, and Demski....no problem....Bailey and Adams with key grabs, and Woli clutch as always when utilized
Wilson, as like last playoffs...just makes solid big assed plays....lets Biggie do his thing.....Darby...solid....best acquisition last year....I thought he could have had some MOP consideration in Grey Cup...guy is flat out good, and is exactly the lockeroom/culture guy this team seeks....
Our rookie DB's....game changers, reason why we won today...Alfrod is a stud and took a lot of limelight away from Nichols, but he has been flat out best in league at his spot all yr...without him..we don't win the cup....Rose....thank you Kyle for having the $$ for his possible return...his play to get ball to Wilson was epic...one of all-time great Grey Cup plays
Collaros...what can you say...kept his wits about him when he messed up and odds seemed stacked against us...didnt show any weakness went about business and got job done when it was crunch time....dude just wins....many others would have wilted and imploded...hello CFaj
Adams was clutch...just like in 2019 playoffs...thats why he here, and Zack alluded to that too...just made the big plays...kept boys calm....irritated the Cats...love me some Adams any big game....And Bailey....who wouldn't want a a guy like that on the squad....really evolved this year....and dude is clutch..good...and all about team...Cats focused on our stud Lawler...Bailey and others picked up the slack
Harris....what can u say....last part of 4th...in O.T....he was huge....key to the comeback success
Man...just love this squad....wanna see em all back to be honest...sadly tho...some wont be

Agreed. At first I thought he grabbed face mask but he just had his hand on the side of Evans head. That play already had a rtp it's not like they could've thrown the same flag again lol. 
If Evans stays in the Bombers cruise to a win. Masoli was a game changer. But he still went full Masoli in the end. 

Good morning fellow fans of the back to back Champs. Look forward to rewatching this game. Any one think it's going to be an all time great Grey Cup?
Drama great story line big come back ot clutch insane play and shutting down the same team in back to back years at home no less. 
The fans around the league will really hate us now and tsn was all in on the cats. The vitriol only makes it all the sweeter though. 

Woli had some clutch catches in the 4th to help out, too...and that crazy catch by Bailey off his butt was magic!

Still watching the replay and that stop the Rose made on the 3rd down gamble was kinda turning point until the interception

It's pretty fun to win but to crush an entire city stadium and network is truly just icing on the cake.
The Eastern tears are flowing tonight. Drink it in Boys cuz the champs are here again 
After the OT 2 point convert the cameras showed the cats and Banks just had this look like he knew it was done 
 

BACK TO BACK COULDN’T FEEL ANY BETTER
 
(that being said a small handful of you sound like a whiny group of woe is me everyone is out to get us type Rider fans … gross) 
 
(also to the people who didn’t think the Arkells was a well done halftime show that can bring eyes to the league, nobody cares what you and the dinosaurs at your bridge club think about these things)
 
GO BOMBERS

Another absolutely critical play that I think is going to go largely unnoticed is Lawler’s OPI that prevented an interception. Just massive.

That was a strange decision but i mean who knows the outcome even if that kneel down didnt happen. Maybe our defense, knowing a field goal wins it for Hamilton, ramps up their intensity and locks it down on that last drive. If ifs and buts were candies and nuts......

Nichols basically made 2 plays to save the game....all our unsung guys came up big...Wilson...Darby....Bailey...Stove and Fatboi...Kongbo was strong all night...our cover teams....was a true team win...through and through...I also think we missed Eli in the run game as well....and It showed
That one catch by Bailey....keeping it off the turf....wonder why not mentioned more...that was a amazing grab in a critical time....

love Collaros but they got it wrong; Castillo is the MVP today.

doing great here, man.  full remission and a championship to celebrate!

Ehhh - I'm fine with having the Arkell's guy up in the booth after the show.   Arkell's were a reasonably good choice for half-time show (Canadian Band with Rock/Country roots, Ties to the hosting city) - The kind of person who listens to Arkells is, IMO, a good target demographic for the CFL (correct age range, generally the right "class" of person that could be interested in football)
Don't even blame the guy for being a Hammy homer, it's his team - If I was up in that booth I couldn't be bothered to not cheer the Bombers.

I love after the Adam's overtime TD they panned to Banks and he looked defeated. He must have known at that point!

At least this year they had a guy who understood the game and would stop talking when the play was going on.  As much as he was cheering for Hamilton, I'll give him credit for respecting the game.

Guess I’m in the minority but I thought that was a great halftime show. Good energy. I’m sure it was even better live.
Infinitely better than the kickoff show anyhow.
