I'd bet my left arm Simoni was a part of it. I'm guessing he was a little sour after the game considering how he "played" if you can call it that. I've rewatched the game 3 times now. And honestly can't find him. I'm guessing the Bombers must have game planned to make him completely useless and it worked!
The only memory I have of him in that game was crying for a flag when Harris "headbutt" him. I think that was our first drive of the game.

After tonight Harris has finally surpassed Roberts as my all time favourite Bombers RB. What an effort. What an effort all around to all the players and all the coaches these past three games. This had to have been one of the best Championship runs I've ever witnessed. Three absolute beauties against the three best teams in the league, aside from us of course 😉

3. All those Rider fans talking smack making this win that much sweeter! For those keeping track, the Bombers were the first team to win:
- A regular season game at New Mosaic Stadium (NMS) - (July 1, 2017)
- A Western Semi-Final playoff game at NMS (November 18, 2018)
- A Western Final playoff game at NMS (November 17, 2019)I'm noticing a trend. I wonder where the Grey Cup is being played next year...

Oh I fully expect that when and if it comes back, all our history will have been lost. I would hardly ever look back at old threads but for some reason it really bothers me that all that activity might have vanished from the depths of cyber space.
That was already pretty much the case. I don't know if you ever tried to go back, but they only kept a certain number of pages live at any given time. The oldest thread on the main forum (That wasn't stickied) you could go back and read would have been from 2018 most likely.

You'd think he could go down to minor for conditioning without waivers.
He already completed a 5 game conditioning stint, they just don't want to bring him back up at this point:

By no means memorable, two terrible teams playing in a practically meaningless game, but the comeback win against the BC Lions in 2010 will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the first live Bomber game I ever attended with my girlfriend (now wife). We were hooked thereafter and bought 2011 season tickets the next year.
Old highlights if anyone is interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8fPebMdPIThat'd probably be my pick as well, that win has always stuck with me.
As for losses... beyond some of the good ones already posted I've always held on to a loss we had to Montreal in 2011 late in the season. I don't remember the exact details but I believe we had a 1st and goal from the 1. I remember watching the ball cross the line right in front of my eyes on one of the attempts in that sequence only for it to be ruled a goal line stand. Don't know why but that loss has always rubbed me the wrong way. Really felt like Montreal was getting some favourable treatment at the time.

Getting back to the original question, it's close to (if not already) a week since the other forum went down and nothing yet. Very odd...
The forum has always seemed like the lowest of priorities for the team/league. If I remember correctly it was actually removed from the navigation of the team site for a while not too long ago. I'm sure they don't care to put any resources towards it and would rather just let it die than continue to support it. I'd bet on the mod team there pressing to get the site back up some of the previous times it's been down is the only reason it's still been alive this long.

there have been several that had issues with 'letting things go' or taking it all too personal... I don't know how long it was that every time I said something that they didn't agree with I would get "you're just mad because they cut LDW" and they would turn it into something it wasn't... once that died down I got the whole "you're a Nichols hater"... we could be talking about the turf at IG Field and they would say that, lol...
I never took any of it personal or got mad over it... but if they were looking for a fight it's like I said, I'm no wall flower... they would get so mad at me too, lol... Colton... the whole routine I did with him and his mom calling me about him having trouble on the 'short bus'... wasn't very nice... but he would come out of the wood work just poking me and looking for trouble... and he found it, lol... I finally had to quit giving into them and not respond because it seemed like it always landed in my lap as the instigator, and I wasn't... by the end it was so bad that I didn't even have to comment and they were calling me out, lol.. thank god that is all behind us now...
but I can assure you that if I have something to say I also have something to back up my position... I learned early on that subjective opinion that is unsupported didn't go over well... as it shouldn't in most cases...
Lol, I feel like there's a little revisionist history going on there. I called LDW "trash" one time and you became completely unhinged. For some reason you took the word trash as some sort of attack on his personality/character rather than his football ability and just started devolving into these weak insults any time I posted. You seemed to take it way too seriously and couldn't help but get that last word in every single time. All I had to do was chirp you a little bit and you'd go off on me and end up getting clapped by the mods.
It's whatever now though, I don't have a problem with you. I didn't expect you to actually care about the team and thought you'd leave whenever your guy departed the team, but you clearly do care about the CFL and the Bombers so that's pretty cool.
How About that Other Worldly Play-Off Defense?

I think I've said it before on here, but I'll never forget just how little Evans wanted to be in the pocket holding the ball the final 5-7 minutes of that game. He looked absolutely traumatized by our pressure.
All of the DBs played some excellent football over the three game stretch. Can't imagine the headache it must have been playing against a secondary as a unit playing so well across the board. Same goes for our linebackers. Love Maston/Wilson out there, and Bighill saved some of his best football all year for the most important game of the year.
I can always hope for a defense this dominant in future seasons, but I don't think I can ever expect one to play any better than this 2019 team did during that playoff run.
