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.

Anyone read the absolute drivel by JC Abbott at 3DN? It suggests the Bombers win was a fluke and he blames Adams for ruining a masterful BC performance. Good gravy..

Does it every year. Love it.

I'll run through a wall for you

In my twenties, the bombers lost everything. Every game in Regina. I repeat we didn't win a game in Regina when I was in my twenties. That **** hurts. We lost multiple grey cups. Saw Stegall retire without a ring. 6 different head coaches. No hope in sight.
 
In my thirties, one head coach. 4 consecutive grey cup appearances, hopefully 3 wins after next weekend.  Wins in Regina. 
100% this is special and it's been a hell of a ride that isn't over yet

Yea..I mean we lose Biggie and his leadership and experience, but Malik is certainly as physically capable as Biggie against the pass. Hopefully he can handle the run as well.
Pretty sure Biggie will be at Malik's hotel room a lot this week going over tape with him.

For real. Vaj was running for his life all game. Back end played lights out.

Really liked that 3-3 front with Kramdi and Alexander kind of playing more like US style safeties.  Really hard to figure where rush is coming from and really easy to disguise coverages in that look.  Really makes it impossible for QB to read much pre-snap.  Which is ideal against guys like Adams and Fajardo.  Also good at spying/containing scrambling QB.

Edmonton 6 in a row in the 70s and 80s. Hamilton 5 in a row in the 60s. Winnipeg 4 in a row. Dynasty.

I think a shout out to Malik Clements is deserved. Had a very tough assignment jumping in for Biggie yesterday on a big stage and played great.

A couple of teams have gone 4 years in a row but never in the salary cap era.  Definitely a dynasty.

Winning the west 4 years in a row absolutely qualifies for dynasty talk.
