Please don’t rip me apart for starting a new topic, I really wasn’t sure where this post belongs as I feel it’s more about our patience and our future (even though it’s onviously a lot about tonight’s game). I don’t post often, but right now I can’t hold back, I just keep looking at our team from top to bottom and haven’t felt this good in an eternity. The jury is still out on if Hall is going to prove us all wrong, but that’s about the only bad thing I can say right now. 
Hoping not to get too many hyperbole GIFs in response here, let’s all just be happy haha.

We’ve never developed our own QB like Calgary, BC, and Toronto...
We have no QB depth...
Our scouting department can’t find any talent...
Our Canadian depth is atrocious...
We sign big names for too much money and they end up as busts...
No one wants to play here...
We can’t tackle...
^ things that we’ve said for years, that are actual things of the past
Guys like Nevis, Medlock, Okopogo, Fenner, Gaitor, Bighill, Harris coming here and looking as good or better than they ever have. Bowman smiling on the sideline when he’s mostly catching short passes and guys named Wolitsrsky and Demski are getting the TDs, ready to be a team player and happy to be surrounded by good people. Number 1 embracing number 82 in the end zone after his second TD catch, and walking him in on his first one. Santos Knox being a compete beast.
Listen, one game doesn’t make a season. For years and years, I’ve just wanted one Grey Cup, just one. Now, for the first time in my 33 years as a Bomber fan, I’m not even thinking Grey Cup, I’m thinking “wow, we will be competitive for years to come”. “Wow, we have depth, young guys being groomed to be starters in a couple years, vets who are happy to share the limelight.” I know people rag on Calgary for two Grey Cup losses in a row, but who here wouldn’t have traded places with them the last decade? I’m not being a homer here. We have a rookie QB who just made history. The panel and the commentators were glowing talking about THE BOMBERS - when has that ever happened? Everyone is buying in. I want to win a Cup, but knowing that the Bombers won’t be the joke of the league anymore is an amazing feeling. 
And this team is humble! They take on the personality of their coach, a coach who many were calling to be fired not that long ago. We went through some growing pains but it finally feels good to be a Bomber fan. Again, I’m not saying we’re going to dominate every team, or that we’re even a contender yet, I’m just saying that we have backups at most positions that would be starting on several teams in the league. And if the Strev is the real deal (and I very much believe he is, as do Burris, Dunnigan, and Milty), he could be on our team for the next two decades, because he’s TWENTY THREE. 
Muamba and Westerman had three penalties, our entire team had six. Not long ago we felt spurned by them and now I wouldn’t have it any other way with the personnel on this team. We always say the refs hate us, but even they were kind tonight, or maybe it just shows how disciplined this team is  
Oh, and not sure if it’s been mentioned, but tonight not one, not two, but THREE Winnipeg natives scored TDs. Has there been a team in history that had three hometown players score TDs in a game?
Ok, feel free to rain on my parade or bring me back down to earth. I lurk and lurk but tonight nothing is going to take this smile off my face. I don’t care if it’s the lowly Als, 46 point wins don’t happen by accident, and we all know we could’ve put up another 20 points if it was necessary. 
Next week is another game and another challenge, but right now, it feels good to be a Bomber fan.
NUUUUUUBRADDDYYYYYYY!!!!!

Dear Mr. Durant,
Thank you for leaving us in the lurch on the eve of training camp and stealing 70K like a thief in the night. Thank you for talking s*** about our team and fans on twitter which surely burnt all bridges and any chance the team would ever want your pathetic green tinted ass in blue & gold. For if you werent such an unprofessional POS we may never have uncovered the golden boy Chris Streveler.
May your shadow never darken the earth outside the borders of saskatchewan.
Sincerely Bomber fans.

Might as well surrender now.  This one is a foregone conclusion.

Can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning

Caught me. Though you did have to look under the hood to see that though. 🤣

Did you just start the GIF day thread with a ******* jpeg?!

I’m pleased with where he has it now. 

Stepped out of bounds then jumped on the Lankford fumble resulting in an 'illegal touch' penalty and subsequent turnover.

Yeah, not faulting Wilson, just pointing out the specific play that cost us.

I actually do not mind Rider Fans posting here as long as what the have to say makes a little sense and is in good taste etc. I post over on RiderFans.com and as long as I keep it clean and reasonable never had any issues. I would expect the same treatment here for Rider Fans. Heck I would even welcome Nasty Nate back ----- Just kidding on that one!

The Riders took advantage of a lackluster showing from Toronto, used their advantage well and earned a win.  At the end of the year, it doesn't matter how the wins come .. only that you got them.

You are right, but having said that, it doesn't change one thing:  Riders suck.

Defend Fort Hew!
Go Bombers!

The one thing I really noticed (and loved) last night was seeing how Bighill just flows from sideline to sideline.  That speed and ability from our MLB spot has been sorely lacking these last years and seeing the ability there just made me smile.

Randle had solid coverage on that TD, misplayed it in the air.  It is what it is.

We don't flub that field goal and Lankford doesn't fumble...we win regardless of the defense in that game...I hope that the last we see of Lankford for a while..Fogg and others can do just fine on returns
