Pickle Rick

So, we won the West Final. Big deal. If that's your best memory then that tells me that our expectations are already being lowered. Winning a WDF means nothing if we let other teams find ways to beat us in the Grey Cup three years straight. We need a reboot. A reset as a team. 
I love the Bombers & have all my life but there's no way I trust Mike O'Shea to do the right thing for this team. To play his best combination of players with just seven starting Canadians. Now, we're being deserted like rats off of a sinking ship because the assistants & scouting staff can see what's going on. The window has closed with Mike as HC. What's the point of Goveia/McManus bringing in young players only to have them buried on the roster behind veterans ten to 15 years older than them who no longer can perform?? No wonder they want out. 

Still recovering from last sunday. At least we got that glorious west final, that's what will hopefully stick with me when I think back to this season.

A friend of mine from Winnipeg is going to the Grey Cup courtesy of Save On Foods. His parents won their GC contest but as they're elderly they can't go so they gave the prize to their son & his wife. Flight, hotel & two tickets to the game all courtesy of Save On Foods.

"No son, we did not, and we want you to know how incredibly disappointed we are in you".

At BC Place, the site of this year’s Grey Cup  Zach Collaros is a career 5-1, with 12 TDs to 4 INTs, averages 321 passing yards, a completion percentage of 71%, and has a QB rating of 111.74. Pretty gaudy numbers in the dome. 

It's boring...let's discuss roster management.

I’m sure TSN will spin it that it’s a sellout because the Rider fans are coming. But we all know this was going to be a sellout no matter who we played. 

Willy has in the past taken over games.....now would be a great time to see it again.....I just don't know if it is scheme, by design, personelle  but we have not being able to get to opposing QB's.....we have not got many sacks this year...I don't think anyone should count on it against Harris......It would not surprise me if he is virtually untouched all game.... most of the season our defence has faired really well.....we finished first in the West and won the season series with both Sask. and BC so it must be working for us....I just don't think we will see Harris on his backside too often....but I would really love to wrong.....
 
Our most disliked rival, our prairie rival coming to a sure to be sold out PAs in early November for the West Final.......Long range forecast showing plus 10 with a light wind....we can disagree on many things on here but how does it get any better than this.....The stage is set for an incredible day of football......
 
 
 

Maybe, just maybe this is the game Zach balls out. He was on his way to doing so in the LDC.

Glad it’s the Riders. We’ll send them home packing for the fourth time since 2018. We own the west. **** those guys. 

I just want to see Zach finally have an outstanding playoff run stats wise, I don't believe theres been a game yet in the playoffs where hes dominated.
I want to see him be able to go out and put up points, keep the defense fresh, and give the Bombers a chance at all 3 phases being complimentary to eachother......this all includes Buck and play calling too.
 

I had the craziest dream...

Bold prediction after losing the chance at first, the Riders enter the WSF demoralized and lose to the Lions.

I watched most of all of em this weekend, but I only really cared about the BC/Montreal game... And that ended being a nothing burger. The offseason is long enough... I'm not going to waste a second when they're in season. I just ******* love this league...

There were a half-dozen screwups of which even one not made would have saved the game, and some of those were on Pierce, Younger and O'Shea.

Touchy McFeely's whole game is closing his eyes and hucking it as far as he can. I like to think of him as a Michael Reilly, but instead of having a cool hat he is a sex offender.
Anyways, we need good coverage downfield and a safety who knows what he is doing.

perfect scenario being in drivers seat now....we control our fate.....second last game...at home....full jacked house to clinch West. We play our butts off and send another message. to the league that Cup goes thru us....then a nice bye week to lick any wounds....then a nothing game in Mtl to close out the season...let key guys get some reps to stay engaged and sharp...plus allows the subs moocho reps.....then we wait as the other 2 teams beat each other up 2 times (this week, and in playoffs) just to have a chance to come into our barn with us being rested...prepared....fingers crossed totally healthy, and in front of an insane play-off crowd and unreal atmosphere....I like them chances of trip #5 in a row to the Cup

but it was tho....we pissed all over TSN and their story

Will be at the game tonight GO BLUE

Us expansion isn’t the answer to any question other than trivia in the cfl.

Bombers could've won 3 out of 4 of those games to start the year, things have started to bounce our way and we're first in the west. Looking like a very good team in a season of just good teams. 9-6 seems bang on to me.
I can't see anything confusing or confounding there lol.
