Bundle of nerves again for today.  Slowly counting the hours till kickoff.   A bomber W is what I am expecting.  Hoping they keep Faj contained and on his ass all game.
#forthew #reclaimthethrone

99.9999 % just care if they win however it happens
but a 1984, 1990, or 2019 style win would be much better for my nervous system

I believe kickoff is 5:30 p.m.

In my experience it has always been glorious and “blue”. They have done it for years. Just like Bomber fans do the “True North” chant at Bomber games, just more muted then the “glorious and blue” they belt out at IG Field every anthem. 

2 more sleeps!   Cannot wait!

Cue Noeller to tell me that "Touchdown Manitoba" or lack thereof was discussed on page 10 of this thread two days ago...lol...

Jets need to wake up.  Terrible 3rd so far.

Sorry can’t copy the line-up from the Facebook page. Bucky in net, heritage jerseys  
 

This game just makes me miss prime Darvin Adams. I know he's too old now and Bailey has largely taken his blocking role, but dude was just nasty for other teams to deal with.

The University of Toronto has won the same number of Grey Cups as the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Please stop calling the Saskatchewan Roughriders a professional football team. 

Dully dressed has me curious as well...

I can understand the optimism of facing Montreal in the grey cup... However, I really hope the bombers don't make the same mistake they made last year of overlooking Toronto.  Yes, we dominated Montreal this year and they have a lot of momentum.  Keep in mind that the Hometown crowd that the bombers feed off of won't be there in Hamilton. that is something to consider... Although I don't think the players needed to play at their top level.  
Anyways, I really hope everyone here is right and it will be a cakewalk but I have seen the bombers play down to their opponent and it's not pretty.

I am a little worried that our receivers still aren't practicing.

And no turd downs.

Need to spread the ball around a bit more on O...... Playbook got kinda skimpy in that 2nd half.... 

I think hockey fights these days are way too staged and contrived but Ehlers scrapping, as Howie Meeker would have said, now that's hockey.
Also my yearly rant that many hockey experts will disregard with a chuckle and eye role, but why not employ an aggressive PK box, ie pressure the puck handler.
There's risks I know but no harm in shaking it up a bit and trying cuz our pk right now aint doing it.

The most overlooked stat from yesterday is that my daughter is now a perfect 9-0 when attending Bomber games.  You can all thank me I brought her to the game to ensure a bomber victory!
And yes the crowd noise was insane yesterday.  I've been to two games this year... Banjo Bowl and West Final... I think yesterday was louder.  I could barely hear the announcer when BC was on O.  It was truly deafening.

Yeah, maybe it will be an actual issue next year unlike the manufactured non-controversy some tried to sell as a problem this season. 
Serious question - what evidence is there that the roster moves actually cost us this year, and what proof is there that we made it so hard on ourselves or would have been much better if some fans’ preferred players were on the roster over what the club actually fielded?
Of our 4 losses, 2 were in OT, and 3 of the 4 were by 2, 3, and 6 points. And in those losses it’s a lot easier to find an on-field mistake that was the difference, rather than the fact that we did not have a certain person rostered as a back-up to a back-up in spot #45. The one blowout we had, well we just sent that team packing again in a dominant West Final, and IIRC the big worry was the age of our o-line after that game, not the “Haba vs Jackson” debate.
In our 14 wins, 11 were by double digits (same as the mighty Argos, BTW) and only 1 was by less than a TD. Our average margin of victory in those wins was 18 points. What was so hard about this year in the big picture?
This isn’t a Madden video game on easy mode where anything less than a 60 point win is a failure. This edition of the club, if they win it all next week, should go down as one of the best ever teams in franchise history. And even if we quibble about a certain roster move, it sure looks like based on where we stand today that the staff made all the right decisions in the end, and the “putrid roster management” story was largely overblown.
Convince me otherwise.
