Not that I don't get the reasoning/circumstance, but absolute crying shame that Gray and Roh aren't on the DC.

Nevertheless, when a bunch of "just survived for the win on the last play of the game, aided by a goalpost" Bomber players run around Mosaic taunting people and waving big W flags like they won a 52-0 route (I am looking at you Android), I expect Rider fans to expect Winnipeg to get pounded.

Cuck-ah! Cuck-ah!

Big games by Harris and Jefferson would be huge.
You're suggesting we hand-off to Jefferson and let him plow through??
Genius!!!

MOS mentioned that there was no way that pass was going to be complete on his coaches show when looking at the replays.
I'm just going to whine about this because I never got it out of my system early this week.
For all the, "well if it wasn't for that goal post, we would have won!" from cryder fans:
1) Exactly, that pass was going to be intercepted or knocked down, no doubt
2) When throwing a football, attempt to not hit anything in the way of your target
3) and most of all, if you want to attribute the goalpost as a lucky thing, try the non-call on the pass across the LOS, the arguable forward pass on what would (should) have been a fumble recovery), and the LUCKIEST part, a ball getting batted down right into the hands of the receiver setting you up in the red zone to potentially tie the game (at which you failed).
There, that feels better.

I think player attitude has more to do with that than anything. Lawerence is out there yacking with them media and performing interviews, etc, etc.
MOS seems to have our guys holed up and we aren't putting ourselves out there.
#nodistractions
Yeah and that's a good thing.
Going to continue to rip on them tho.

I don't see it as that as at all. They went 15-3, give them their due.
Jefferson took the MODP from Lawerence, and that wasn't a slam dunk.
They were never going to give a cover guy (Miller) the award.
Now it's up to the Bombers to take the only award that matters.
Not talking about the awards, talking about a disproportionate media gush. Yes, they did very well playing in the regular season playing in the East. The more recent and arguably more impressive feat is beating Calgary and Saskatchewan on the road to get to the game. I am finding that is talked about less compared to our saviour Simoni Lawrence.

Yeah he got jobbed big-time...I think Miller did too to be honest..Williams wasn't even the best overall returner in the league...so unsure how he got that though as a cover guy always tough to beat out the flashy returner.
All this Ticat love and propping up in media is a bit baffling...but great in my opinion...I hope most keep disregarding the Bombers..you can even see with how players are carrying themselves in CGy that they on a mission and all business whereas a lot of the Ticat contingent are acting like..well Riders hahahaha
Propping up a disinterested East.

Is that if the Leafs ever won the Cup?
I don't think I can be around for that.
Don't worry, they suck again.
EDIT: Still.

TSN owns all media rights to the CFL in Canada. The only way DAZN could get it would be to license it somewhere else in the world. Then, you could use a VPN to get it from there. ESPN+ though...
Oh yeah, I don't expect it to happen. Just voicing my desire to have a sports streaming app that gives me all I want to watch for cheap so I can cut my cable at no inconvenience.

DAZN is awful. I'd definitely look into IPTV instead. Good bang for your buck and its sports feeds are pretty good quality and covers all the big leagues.
How is it awful? I haven't gotten lags or anything like that

That's disheartening. I am a week away from cancelling cable and was hoping to replace it with a blend of DAZN and TSN Direct.
I have DAZN for the first time this year and it's life-changing for NFL. No more having to find streams and hook up my laptop to my TV to see my Panthers play.
If they find a way to get the license for CFL and NHL I would lose my mind with happiness.

According to Dave D, prior to our 2nd last game of the season. "You don't trade for a guy like Zach at the deadline unless you're intending to use him".
I don't think it's the injury, I think the play would have had to improve for him to keep the starter job. Play had been slipping.

I was at the Bomber Store today at IG Field East and it was a madhouse. They were offering free lawn signs for the first 3,000 people starting at noon. Unfortunately, they had issues printing them, so they won't be delivered until tomorrow.
If nothing else, this GC appearance is putting the Bombers back on some people's radar and it's putting money into the team's pocket.
Thanks for the update. I was going to go on my lunch but figured I'd wait a day. Glad I didn't miss out.
Gonna go tomorrow to sign the banner, pick up a lawn sign, and a Grey Cup party pack (looks like a great deal and will go over well at my GC party).
Btw, great to hear it was busy. Puts a smile on my face that there is a legit buzz in town. Everyone's talkin' Bombers this week and I am not getting any work done.

I don't recall, but I know everyone I know with season tickets was complaining that tickets were still stupidly expensive.
CFL waaaaayyyy over prices them.
They should eat some humble pie and price them to get butts in the seats. They're better off with a full house on national TV than gouging working folks for $450 a ticket.

Sunday Pregame Drinks

I have a newborn so a GC pregame isn't the same as it would be otherwise for me. I'm also hosting a GC party so need to get the house in order and head to the store to pick up snacks and groceries for the week (all in my royal blue AH33 jersey, of course).
On the other hand, sure would be special to have my son within 2 months of the Cup coming home to Winnipeg. Will be worth the trade off.
