Rich Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Last game of the season, game time is 6PM. Ottawa resting a bunch of starters. Win and we are at least 3rd in the West and possibly 2nd. Lose and we are either 3rd in the West or crossing over. Most importantly, team has to play well to get some momentum into the playoffs after their horrible outing last week. Another fun fact: If we win tonight, Ottawa will have 1st place in the East with a sub .500 record. If Edmonton wins this weekend, 4 teams in the West will be above .500.

Tracker Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Should the Bombers win tonight it will mark the first time in the CFL where every eastern team is below .500. Trying to predict the outcome or even how the game will be played is a complete crapshoot with all the players being out. Its like trying to guess the outcome of a preseason game.

Noeller Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Time to get back on track. I don't want another "bye" week without football until December. Let's pump Ottawa and then roll from there with all the confidence in the world... johnzo and LeBird 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardCoreBlue Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'd like to see Davis and Glenn get some time in this game if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash00 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 It's neat that for the first time in a long while, the last game of the regular season isn't the last game of the season period. Noeller and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we beat the tar out of the RBs in the first half and get a big enough lead to rest starters in the 2nd half and Give depth guys starter snaps. This game feels strange. It feels like a must win going into the play offs, coming off the last weeks game, and with a shot at a home play off game. On the other hand facing back up qbs invokes many terrible memories from the past of getting torn up by then no bodies who become some one against us. Crossing over seems almost as alluring as hosting a home play off game, especially with this years home performance/crowds. Really just want us not to S&^% the bed tnite.

White Out Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 cant help but feel like a cross over is the easier path to the grey cup. but if we lose to ottawa twice in a row we could be falling into a spiral of loserness. unsure whats the best thing. if we win, im def cheering for a BC loss.

Westy Sucks Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Wow! Pretty dead GDT. Really want to see Medlock to break the FG record. Winning is always better than losing, even if it means it gives us a more difficult route in the playoffs. We have to take advantage of the RB's sitting everyone. We need to take them out to the back yard and all the way to the woodshed for a beating. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombers have to show up tonight, no matter who gets put on the field. That stinkeroo last game has to be wiped out of the minds of the players and fans. Where the Bombers start the playoffs is irrelevant by comparison. The team performance last game was so sickeningly similar to the way the Bombers played for most of last two years and to start the season that they need to impress the fans that it was a collective brain cramp and not their real selves.

Geez Tracker. Do you have to make the truth sound so bloody depressing? My question is, when we play these stinkers, what is the common denominator? What is it that we're doing or not doing that is leading to these performances. We have to identify it and not do it any more. Conversely, when we play well, what are we doing that allows us to perform at that level and for heaven's sake, let's keep doing that! Please!!

Slingin Sammy Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'd like to see: - Harris hit 1000 yards rushing; - Nichols pass for over 300 yds with no picks; - Our offense light them up early and often Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 We can still grab second so we have something to play for so Nicholls will play. Glenn needs some reps as well if we get behind or ahead. I don't think we'll see Davis getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 By far the most important thing for me tonight is for everybody to make it through uninjured. Losing to the Redblacks B team would suck, but they could make it up to me by winning in the playoffs. I think 2nd place is pretty much gone anyways. I can't see any way the Lions lose to the garbage roster the Riders will be putting on the field. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) My main request is that people in chat post how many drinks they've had.

As I see it (and this should not be mistaken for gospel), we are fairly close to being competitive but we need a top-grade Canuck receiver (like Fantuz) but it appears that our greatest questions lie at the feet of our coaches.

Taynted_Fayth Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I get the whole wanting to win to end the season on a positive note, but wont there be that feeling of contempt towards the win since were beating a preseason team?

17to85 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 just win, come out healthy and with some momentum and happy thoughts going into the playoffs. I don't really care where they end up playing, just get this thing rolling and win . They did 7 in a row, 4 in a row should be no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
