jazzsax Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Honestly playoffs will be a new season. 1) Semi Final - November 10th. If we go into Mosaic, it will likely be cold. If we go into Ottawa or Hamilton, same possibility. BC is the only place whether won't factor at all 2) Division Final - November 17th - Cold no matter where it is. 3) Grey Cup - November 24th - freezing cold Edmonton igloo. (Remember 1984 anyone?) Much like last night, those games are going to be about who makes the most turnovers, and big plays. Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. No stupid mistakes, with the threats we have, we have a good shot. Just hopefully the next goose egg we lay is either next week in Edmonton, or next summer in the pre season...

If the Lions win the next two Games, don't they host the WSF? That is what I am cheering for. Wait wait wait... if BC hosts the WSF, who would they host?

Thankfully, just because of the way the math works out, there is no way for us and BC to face each other in the playoffs (the exception being in the Grey Cup). Which is good... BC looks like the hottest team right now at 6-1, and have been absolute dynamite at home (7-1) this year. Could make some noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I ain't giving no damn about no cold weather. We got a team built just fine for it with our run game. Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 An Edmonton Grey Cup would really favour the Bombers if they could make it... frozen footballs - run game wins outdoor grey cups... Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Coukd care less where we play...we gotta win 2 on the road regardless..so it doesnt matter..if we go east chances are we are playing in nice weather so game will be decided on play as opposed to possible conditions.. and we have looked the best down the stretch by far. On another note..my statement saying that if Nichols gets back to form we would finish out 5-2 and easily could be 6-1 came to reality..and really if we didnt crap the bed in LDC and Banjo bowl could be 7-1 in our last 8..thus the reason I have good feelings about the playoffs..I bet no team wants to face us right now..and I see no team that I dont want us to face to be honest MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABomberfan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Meantime ... Not that anyone cares but Hamilton is getting whooped. For all the knocks Nichols has gotten, it appears Masoli is a fake QB. Those 300 yard plus passing games appear to have been the product of Brandon Banks catching it short and getting yardage after.

bearpants Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 The two hottest teams going into the playoffs will likely be the 3rd seeds in each division... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABomberfan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I may not be as worried about heading to Hamilton now looking at the Banksless tigercats, but knocking off the awfuls in Mosaic would be much more preferable.

Masoli has not looked good, but he is not alone on the TiCat team in that. I would not discount him on the basis of two games- look how poor Nichols looked in the losing skid the team went through. Harris, on the other hand, is pretty streaky so its a tossup as to who the Bombers would be better off playing in the semi-final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hamilton can be had that's for sure. Playing the ESF sure is not a scary thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who can the Bombers sign that would play like banks and help Nichols to get more than one 300 yard game a season ? Jpan85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Most of us who suggest Nichols is subpar agree that Masoli is trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 But to be fair to Masoli, without Banks and Saunders, he arguably has less to work with than Collaros. Even a great QB like Mitchell is struggling without quality receivers. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put any QB out with a bunch of receivers who he is not familiar with, missing his number one target that completely changes game plans and put them in driving rain, high winds, etc and claim he is a fake QB after a bad game..... Yeah that is real logical. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hopefully someone with Lankfords speed but a better route runner and not a butterfinger. Too bad we missed out on bringing Chris Matthews back here.

Yeah that is real logical. Exactly, without Banks to get all those YAC, he's defective. He's a fake QB with inflated yards and few TDs to show for.
