I made the game day thread for the WSF and WF, so figured I needed to start the GC one. 
#NotSuperstitiousJustALittleStitious

I wonder if there is a loophole in this whole first rounder business. I wonder if we signed him after FA if it would still cost us anything. I doubt it? I’m pretty sure it only applies if we RESIGNED him prior, but I could be wrong. 
 
What he did for us has been spectacular. Regardless if he stays or go, he goes down as a Bomber and Winnipeg legend. What a trade. 

So are we willing to give up that 1st rounder to extend Zach???  
He escaped the pocket and extended a few plays tonight that only he (and not Nichols) could do? 
I'm willing to keep him around for the 1st rounder....

Just witnessed my first ever Bomber grey cup win. I was born on November 27, 1990, two days after their last grey cup win. I'm extremely happy for all us fans. See everyone at the parade!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

No matter what happens to his career in the future he will always be a part of Blue Bombers Grey Cup lore!  

First time poster,long time lurker.I was at the '90 grey cup..didn't think I'd wait this long for another one!!.We've heard about the bend but don't break D...today we saw the bend and break D...we broke Dane...we broke frankie...and we broke Speedy B!
 
Grey Cup champs Baby !!!!!!

WEST
1-Winnipeg 13-5 Team has much improved in most departments,oline being only question mark.
2- Calgary 11-7 Lost too many key pieces on defense but still have the major threat in BLM at qb.
3- BC 10-8 Sold the farm to acquire Reilly,team could be a coin toss this year.
4- Edmonton 8-10 lots of change from last years team to this years. Lost arguably the best qb in the league and major receivers,Harris is a downgrade from Reilly.
5- Suckskatchewan 6-12 Still have a recycled and past his prime QB in Callaros,defence will be their only shining light.
EAST
1- Hamilton 11-7 The east should be a walk for the Tigercats this year,much superior team to everyone else in the East.
2- Toronto 9-9 Upgrades at receiver should help their QBs.
3- Ottawa 8-10 on the cusp of being a tire fire,lost many key players and Jennings is not gonna be their answer at the helm.
4 Montreal 5-13 just let go of Sherman,they're a fully blown tire fire.
 
WSF-  Bc upsets Calgary
WF- Winnipeg beats up on BC
ESF- Toronto beats Ottawa
EF- Hamilton destroys in the battle of Ontario
GREY CUP Winnipeg 37 Hamilton 17,this has to be the Bombers year....right???
MOP-BLM
Mod- Adam Bighill
Moc- Andrew Harris
Grey cup MVP- Matt Nichols

There are going to be some good records in the West this year because the East is 3/4's bad.
WEST
Winnipeg:  13-5
Calgary:  12-6
BC:  11-7
Edmonton: 10-8

East

Tor
Bombers win GC. 
Bighill wins MOP and MODP
Luck wins MoR
and Cam judge (say whaaaaaa!) wins MoC. 
Ottawa cleans house after missing the play offs when Edmonton crosses over. 
Hamilton wins 10 games, and its the first time in about 100 years the east champ wins 10 or more games. 
Reed is fired before LD despite the als doing better then expected when new owners take over. 
 
 

Don't normally do this, but I'll give it a try, acknowledging that luck greatly outplays skill in this sort of thing:
The West
Calgary - some question marks but until we can routinely beat them, they remain on top
Winnipeg - We've got a real shot at it all this year, assuming Nichols regains his 2017 form.  Even with 2018 form we should still end up here
BC - lots of horses, but it remains to see if they all come together
Edmonton - from Reilly to Harris is a pretty big drop off.   I think that BC-Edm is really a coin flip in a lot of ways
Saskatchewan - because Riders suck
 
The East
Hamilton - Not a bad team, but in the east, the tallest midget by far
Ottawa - It will all go as Jennings and Davis go, but I like them better than Toronto's stable
Toronto - The Raptors win and everybody in TO continues to forget they have a CFL team.  Same thing if the Raptors lose.
Montreal - the Saskatchewan of the west, except they actually have toothbrushes and indoor plumbing and things other than tractor pulls
 
Playoffs
West
BC in Wpg - Wpg wins
Wpg in Cal - Wpg wins
East
Edm in Ott - Edm wins
Edm in Ham - Ham wins
Grey Cup:  Wpg beats Ham
MOP - Mitchell
MODP - Bighill
MOCdn - A Harris
 

Standings
West: Winnipeg, Calgary, B.C., Edmonton, Saskatchewan. East: Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal.
Winnipeg beats Hamilton in the Grey Cup. 
Harris wins most outstanding Canadian. MOS wins Coach of the Year. Gray rookie of the year. 
Captain Blue crashes the biplane in the north end zone, it’s totalled.
Lucky performs a new style touchdown celebration into the north stands. 
After a week of celebrating the Grey Cup victory, Wade crashes through the doors at Royal Fork Buffet. He was not in a vehicle. 
It was bound to happen that scandal rocks Buzz and Boomer living arrangements.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that guy..... 

Interesting that Adam Bighill was voted on by his peers as an all star... despite the fact some on this site have said he has been "invisible"! Well done, Mr. Bighill!!

Streveler & McGuire look pretty mean...the others are just looking pretty.
