The same ZC that had fewer td passes than our backup was going to lead you to glory? We have two options at QB, you have none. We have better canadian talent. Tell me again who is better off.

Vegas odds makers had Riders as heavy favourites before BB was announced the starter, then marginally underdogs afterward. Enough said.

Let’s get real. Bombers had no business being in the western final. Prior to playoffs, Riders lost their starting QB to a no-call dirty hit.  Bombers got fined for no-call rough play, and a headshot on back-up QB in quarter final versus Riders. During the Semi-final versus Stamps numerous missed calls by the refs gave Bombers an uneven playing field. Otherwise, it would have been a rout. Riders, in spite of being only three years into a rebuild, continue to outperform the Bombers. Two teams going in two opposite directions....just the fact. Kindest regards.

May both teams beat the hell out of each other😇

But for the Bombers to eventually beat the Stamps. Just this once.

When will they need Manziel?

Bo levi....couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn 

[What Changes do the Bombers Need this Off-season to Improve the Team?]

You guys already have a great QB - the most important and hard to fill position on the field.  Some tinkering here and there and continuing to develop that existing talent base will go a long way. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!

[The Turning Point]

Yah, I’m thinking if defence does their job, bombers score enough points to take it.  Lots of factors though obviously and momentum swings are a big one (ie botched fake punt), turnovers being another....

[GDT West Semi Edition: Do It For Hewie The Moose]

True. I think the defence secondary has been soft all year.  And in this playoff game, multiple blown coverage plays.  That said, Bombers not done yet...lots of time left. Queue the comeback

That fake punt is going to cost us

That play has been successful.  Couldn’t catch the break

Good start for both offences. This could be a high-scoring Western semi
