Did you wear this during last year's Grey Cup? If the answer is yes, you need to burn it.
Hmmm the answer is yes. Luck may have worn off. I may need to find something new to wear.

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

If we lose it will because ZC throws pics forcing things...we go away from.the.run...and our kick coverage allows a return TD...and we cough ball up 4 times or more...thats a lot of ifs to all occur to give them a slim chance
I see no way that Faj led offence will do anything of note against the top defense in the league...none whatsoever
And that doesn't factor in the teams bad taste from last yr blowing it
Exactly. If the Bombers don’t turn it over or allow huge returns, hard to see the Als winning. Just don’t force it.

I've got a question. Does anyone know what the deal was on Holm's late-game INT return. It looked like he "gave up" at the end. Why did he throw the ball up as he did? Had the whistle been blown (play dead because he was in the grasp?)
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.

Booch and Mike were absolutely right and most of us have agreed. The roster, when healthy, is very good. But it's one or two injuries from being awful because we are leaving better players on the PR in order to roster some players (Jackson) that don't really make sense. But make no mistake.... Even at it's worst right now, it's a damn good team/roster.
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.

Offense yes… we need a better performance from them next week… but the roster complaints generally revolved around why Jackson is playing when we could be using that DA to bolster the D… I’m thinking the D was just fine last night
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.

Fajardo’s losing streak vs. Winnipeg lives on, he pouts, I laugh. Everyone wins.
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.

So we sign Ambles (very good receiver proven) after we have released Agudosi (fair receiver and virtually unproven)......we win that one.....I really like the move of Blackmon coming off the pr....He has looked pretty good in practice, apparently....An unknown coming in this late in the year and that can be confusing to the oppostion....Smart moves
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.

I still want to know why they marked it where they did. Was it something we missed or was it an error on their part?
Also, if they got that 1st down, would it have guaranteed a win for the bc loins?
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.

Houston....and or Holm....Holm would be better at corner on wide side...It was Parkers job in camp before he got hurt whether most of you wanna believe it or not....and in my opinion....Swarmay should have actually been in over Houston...Fancy stats are nice and all....but there are a lot of holes in Houston's game
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.

Bighill and BA look to "seem" to be not same guys....but it's due to role being used in....and from what many here have seen as a weak area...yet to be adressed fully....Biggie sure may be a bit slower, but if playing a normal MLB role....scraping to ball...watching the QB and reading the play...would be extremely productive....right now he has to ne nore concerned with gap control and helping with inside pressure...so no doubt a lot of times he seems like he a second to late...in chase....or losing the tackle on a failed arm tackle....he isnt in a position to attack....more react....pretty simple really
Intersting tho in last game I noticed how Cole was used, and brought in specifically to not necessarily spy The Vaj but watch him...
Love seeing Cole in on D. That guy is lightning

Bomber break the streaks for OT losses and losses before bye weeks!
-
BO - runs hard, catches everything, cases down fumble recoveries
Zach - nearly 400 yards, shrugs off the couple of weird looking fumbles. Had guys in his face almost every play
DLine for the sacks and the 3rd down stop
HH - Parker game saving tackle
crunch of the game - Bailey destroying the DB trying to go low
- rebusrankin and wbbfan

That’s garbage PI. But I f Kramdi had awareness to look for the ball he’s making a play on it

The rush lane discipline across the board was something else.
