Anyone else find it a little odd that there’s barely been an interview, reaction, quote or anything from the Ticats players? Nationally, or even in the Hamilton Spec for that matter. It’s not like “oh everyone’s against the Bombers wah wah” but is it off base to suggest that some of the media outside MB possibly got a little chapped that the ending didn’t fit their preconceived narrative? Or was it just a matter of their club not having players available to the media?

Toronto and Ottawa’s Twitter feeds are just cringingly awful.

Anyone catch Kyle Irving calling into the postgame show last night? What a wonderful send off to his pop.

That’s very kind of you, thanks man

Thanks, I know Uncle “Slug” and my Grandfather would have been thrilled. I got to watch back to back Grey Cups with my Dad, which was pretty special. Dad played and coached HS and Junior ball. He’d take me to games starting when I was around 6 (I’m 34 now) We’d watch with binoculars and he would patiently explain exactly what each position on the field was doing, what they should be doing. How to tell if they’re moving properly, and how to watch a play develop. After watching, or at least talking about every Bomber game for nearly 30 years, all the ups and (mostly) downs of Bomber football, both probably getting too emotionally invested. Both nearly swearing off the team after our respective worst times at the stadium (Him the 87 East final, me many, but the 03 West semi specifically) The 19 GC was special, but so surreal I can barely remember it. This year we’ve had a pretty tough go, including, which I haven’t shared on here and can still barely come to terms with myself the loss of my 3 week old (twin) daughter in September. To be able to see the huge smile on my Dads face while he proudly held his surviving granddaughter on his lap last night, watching his team, his fathers team, our team, win their second cup in a row was an all time great visual. I can’t describe how much this season in general has been a welcome momentary distraction for 3 hours out of every week.

You’re not the only one

Same here. I’m a notorious nervous pervous during close games.

I panicked, I flipped out, I nearly cried. I have never, ever been so happy to be wrong

Ok time to knock off those swings to Demski.

I really hope I’m wrong but that feels like the game right there.

As much as I hated that second quarter, if Bombers can move the ball I still believe this is their game for the taking.

Sorry @Noeller I just can’t get into these groups. Super emotional nu-folk just isn’t my cup of tea.

Come on boys. I’ve been through a LOT this year, and I could really use this one..

This is not good. Need some big adjustments at the half

Damn Andrew. Went the wrong way on that draw

Is holding allowed now or what? Jackson’s 21 yard run and the 3rd down there was blatant holding right by the play.

I’m not sure if I like this TBH. Even if it turns out not to matter, TSN will harp on this all night now

Times have changed for me. Just at home with the family. Don’t drink anymore but I’ve got my trusty bong to partake and take the edge off. I hosted a huge Grey Cup party in 07. Got blackout drunk. The only thing I remember is yelling about “Indisputable evidence” for hours on end, and waking up to find I’d thrown a kitchen chair outside.

I just can’t see it happening, especially Edmonton.

O’Shea isn’t going anywhere. Bullshit clickbait. We finally have a guy like Miller to stop the BOD from meddling around. Why would anyone go to that crowded kitchen in Edmonton, even with HC/GM?

**** ‘em. I spent 30 years watching **** like that happen to the Bombers. Time for the tables to turn for a few years.

The two best things they could do for the game are. 1. Get rid of the Football Ops cap or at least significantly increase it 2. Bring back the 3rd QB roster spot.

After more thought, that’s probably accurate. Occam’s razor and all. 3DN is pretty much garbage these days anyhow.

I would agree with you for sure, but both Farhan and Naylor have been giving it legs too.

Here’s my 5 strategies Hamilton could employ based off Week 3 1. Hope the Bombers turn the ball over twice or more in the first quarter 2. Exploit a weak HB who is now on the practice roster. 3. Exploit a slightly slowish backup linebacker, who is now back on specials. 4. Somehow lock Stove in a basement somewhere so they can run up the middle like TO did. 5. Get an egregiously bad roughing call to go against the Bombers. So will 2/5 at most be enough for them?
