Just came to post this too. I remember a lot of us (myself included) questioning whether he had it during the first 6 games last season and then the switch went on for him. Just phenomenal how he's changed since then.

If the Bombers play exactly as they did against BC they should win. No turnovers, safe offense. Limit special teams big plays against. Realistically the Als need some turnovers or big plays on teams to win. If they don't get that and it's all on Cody, shouldn't have a hope in hell.

Foot on the ball isn't a penalty. Thought they could have called PI on all the other contact but Lawler doesn't seem to get those calls because he makes such great plays on the ball. Also looked like he was getting kicked in the face prior to the ball getting there.

The rush lane discipline across the board was something else.

Hmmm the answer is yes. Luck may have worn off. I may need to find something new to wear.

I've got tons of jerseys but they are all cursed I fear. Since 2019 I've been wearing an old acrylic sweater from the late 80s/early 90s that seems to be good luck (last year's cup notwithstanding)

If Schoen is able to go that would be absolutely huge. He diced the Als for a few TDs this year already.

Was curious so I looked it up. Neither team has lost since the same weekend in mid-September. Bombers just have had more bye weeks than the Als in that time. Let the Als talk all they want about the hot streak they are on

Als were all over the Eastern trophy. They are toast next week https://www.instagram.com/p/CzhpKtLrhXR/

Exactly. If the Bombers don’t turn it over or allow huge returns, hard to see the Als winning. Just don’t force it.

Whistle had gone for sure. Gave himself up to just run the clock out. Looked like Walker could have blown up Vaj too and Holm would have walked in.

Fajardo’s only hope is to run around a bunch. More Dline depth Is the way.

That’s exactly it. Last night proved how important depth is. Biggie went out and they didn’t skip a beat because of the depth at LB on the roster.

Some luck involved with the only major injury in game hitting a place of depth (LB). If one of the Jeffs or a DB had gone down, then that’s where Jackson on the roster hurts. Rather have the D depth than an American FB with little impact, that’s all it is for me.

Eli wasn’t on the team last year right? A few guys have left and come back but ya big group for all 4

What do you think for the cup, most rider fans cheering against Faj or against Winnipeg?

1 Dline - Jeffs feasted 2 LBs - flew around even without Biggie 3 Secondary - locked down all night. Most of the catches made were well contested. HH Hallet for the punt block

Lots of interesting stuff here: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/10/31/statistical-year-in-review/ Big one that jumped out to me 100/955 Winnipeg was penalized 100 times in the regular season for 955 yards, fewest in the CFL. And here’s the number that just reinforces how disciplined this team is – over the last five seasons, 2017-23, the Blue Bombers have been the least penalized team in the league EVERY SINGLE SEASON.

The team just added him back to the PR after having previously released him. Like adding Ambles to the PR incase Bailey and Schoen can't go. He's a vet that has won cups.

Man I might stop watching if Prukop stays in

Love some Brian Cole

I never saw a replay (not that there were tons of angles shown) that showed VA reaching for the 1st down while still in bounds. He definitely got there when he was out of bounds though.

I still think Parker would be killer in Kramdi's spot. He's a great tackler, tons of speed, he'd make some big plays there.

Love seeing Cole in on D. That guy is lightning

Bomber break the streaks for OT losses and losses before bye weeks!
