BomberD

Yup...was a bad game all around...defense balled out tho...loss not on them

That Prukkop play was unnecessary cutesy billshit.

Yup...just dumb tho...run was working...long game wasnt all game...so why?

This is bigger than the missed xp tbh

One point away. Truly a game of inches

It may not mean much from me, but you guys are still going to dominate next season. Still the class of the league. Congrats on a great season.

Yup...that dumb Prukopp play was the demise...we score points there we won 

Embarrassing game for our coaching staff tbh.
Had that game under control and blew the chance to end it.

foodwise I am simple. my usual Grey Cup thing is a trough of poutine.  I get some oven fries and some real nice curds from the fancy cheese store. maybe some chopped bacon in there, some green onions, whatever else is lying around.  Assemble in baking pan, cook in oven, cover with envelope gravy and lots of good coarse pepper.  delicious.
If I get inspired to peel some ginger tomorrow, I might have some homemade ginger ale too.  Alas I can't drink anything harder anymore, doctor's orders.
my birthday falls near the Grey Cup so sometimes there is leftover cake too!

Chips and dip, beer, shrimp appetizers, beer, pigs in a blanket, beer and Chicago mix popcorn….and beer. 

Buffalo Chicken Dip
INGREDIENTS
3 cooked, boneless, chicken breasts 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 1 cup blue cheese dressing 3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces Tostitos scoops  
DIRECTIONS

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.

Never in my lifetime (and I'd suppose pretty much all of yours) have we had this matchup in the Grey Cup.
And if you, dear Bomberfan, could go back through your memory of all of your past teams and coaches and then select just one of them to be taking the field this Sunday for All The Marbles, I can't think that many of you would pick any other Bomber squad or Coach that you've ever personally witnessed above this one which you have.
Conversely, we the Argo Faithful, would be stretching the truth if we were to say the same. Indeed, most of us wouldn't have this year's incarnation of the Boatmen in our top 10.
 
Speaking for myself, I confess great sporting admiration for your current team, its coaches and its accomplishments. Having myself been spoiled by epic teams in the past, I remember well the great feeling it brings to have your spirits buoyed by witnessing a well-oiled machine, firing on all cylinders and sweeping all before them. It is a daunting prospect for any club to come up against such an animal - apologies for mixing metaphors - but as you well know, there's a reason why you don't just declare a winner before the ball gets kicked.
Any Given Sunday.
This time honored maxim is a cliche for a very good reason: the team that is supposed to win, doesn't always win. Game of inches and such. I go into this matchup once again prepared for the emotional wound which losing The Big Dance can bring... But then, I have made this preparation for each of the last 3 of these games we were in and the outcome wasn't what it ought to have been. We were solid underdogs in all of them. We should have lost each of them. But we once again had our glorious name etched of the Cup because for each of these games we had a gameplan that worked, made fewer (or no) mistakes, and we had that one intangible that others will scoff at, but we, the True Double Blue know from the bottom of our hearts is real:
The Argo Bounce.
It's a helluva thing, but time and again, year after year, decade after decade, The Argo Bounce has come from out of nowhere and given us Victory and Glory that just frankly and earnestly speaking should never have happened. Fumbles, Tips, Deflections, Slips, Bonehead Errors and yes, Bounces. They should not keep happening, and the younger Bomber supporters with less appreciation for the Storied History of a rival team may deride this as a bullshit thing that isn't real and that random acts of bounce happen for and against every team. Well, yes they do. But the grizzled veterans amongst you look back over the years and in some recessed corner of your memories do in fact recall a stupid amount of random events granting risibly improbable wins for the Toronto Argonaut Football Club. And you wonder, will The Argo Bounce show up? Can the nigh invincible Bombers be denied by The Football Gods showing their favour once again to the Mighty Scullers?
Likely not.
This is probably the year where The Law of Averages catches up to us. When Lady Luck looks past us because we have just had it so damn good for so damn long. Maybe the Argos show up and have their best Gameplan, best Effort, make no mistakes and do everything right but still fall short because their opposition was just too much for them to overcome. The Blue Bombers should win this game. I can't fathom that you'd find many Argo fans who, if forced to bet everything they own on this game, would take the Argos to win it. If Winnipeg shows up and plays their best, it probably won't matter if Toronto can show up with their best. Winnipeg wins that matchup nine times out of ten... Or... maybe Any Given Sunday and The Argo Bounce happen.
 
Some of you have known me 20 years or close enough to it. You know that my wish of good luck to you is sincere and it is in the tradition of sporting competition that the better team on the day wins. I witnessed your years in the wilderness and the false dawns that ignited hope in you that never came to be. You are deserving of your time at the top spoke of fortune's wheel because you've known the bottom of it. 
 
Sincerely & Fraternally,
It's Go Time. I will look for you on the field of honour.

No matter who they pick they won’t care for 95% of the game 
We already won against Hamilton  in Hamilton 
No concerns 

yup...rest and film work...ZC doesnt need the reps, and extra strian on his ankle...if he doesnt know his play book and how the defenses in the league operate...he never will haha

I still feel he's going to start. There's not been a walking boot, and they are playing a will he, won't he game. It might end up being painful for him, but once the needle is in and adrenaline is pumping, he'll be fine. Only an idiot would let him practice this week at all. Why risk reaggrivation? I don't know why anyone would expect it today.

I have no doubt collaros will play. At the same time he doesn’t need any reps this week to be ready. Getting brown all the prep possible makes sense. 
 Not only that the best thing for collaros right now is to be doing any thing physical under the watchful eye of our training staff. 
 He will get a couple shots before the game and judging by his walking off the plane be fine on game day. 
 
honestly I think prukop running the option offense could beat the argos too. 

Zach's going to play. He doesn't need to practice so they're giving the ankle some more time to heal. That's a good way to manage this injury.

The players are probably having a great time with it...and making everyone wonder...par for the course.
He wouldn't have been walking around as he was if it was ultra serious...the more rest...the better
 

Collaros will play...... fully spatted up. But Brown will be ready just in case, and I, too, believe we can win with a Brown/Prukop combo if need be. But Collaros will at least START the game, with that right foot taped to the knee.

I’m watching the 2021 game. We were down by 12 with 11 minutes left and Collaros was cool and collective. What a surgeon. 

Totally fair.  Definitely looking forward to seeing what improvements we see as Couture and BA make their way back on the field… after that I would think fingers crossed we get Ellingson back and tuned up before playoffs.  Hopefully Grant isn’t away for too long either.

Agree to disagree? On our 2nd SAM (Rutledge Jr a huge find) 3rd WIL, 4th safety, 4th boundary corner because Glass couldn’t cut it and now Houston and Rene out so Rose moves back and struggling hard… add a pretty raw Parker on the field corner.  Back up centre, missing Ellingson, Agudosi, Couture out for this game… even special teams has to be considered depleted because a lot of those same back ups of back ups would be doing foot soldier duty.
If Bombers could field the roster with those guys playing, it’s much closer to 2021 domination imho.

He has an inability to learn, those are no longer mistakes, he wants to hurt somebody. It’s malicious. ****** intentional.
