It's GAME DAY!!!! BEST OF THE WEST vs Beast of the East (Ed Tait TOTALLY ripped this one off of me - jk)

 

 

GAME 6 | WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS (5-0) at HAMILTON TIGER-CATS (4-1)
THE 4-1-1
Kickoff: 6 p.m. CT Friday, Tim Hortons Field, Hamilton
TV: TSN, RDS, ESPN+
Radio: 680 CJOB
Vegas line: The Ticats are favoured by two points.
Home/Road: The Bombers are 2-0 on the road this year with wins in Vancouver and Ottawa. Winnipeg is 4-1 in its last five road games, the lone blemish a loss to Edmonton in the 2018 regular season finale in which a number of the team’s starters did not play or had limited reps. Hamilton, meanwhile, is a perfect 3-0 at home this season.
Recent history: The Bombers 5-0 start is the third best in franchise history. The 1960 squad opened with 10 consecutive victories en route to a 14-2 record while the 1939 Bombers rocketed to an 8-0 start, finished the regular season 10-2 and then defeated Ottawa to win the second of the franchise’s 10 Grey Cup championships. The Ticats, meanwhile, have opened with a 4-1 record in their first five games for the first time in 21 seasons.
Series: The Bombers are 64-55-0 all-time vs. Hamilton and 27-32-0 at Ivor Wynne Stadium/Tim Hortons Field.

We'll stop trying to score, when they stop trying to score. 

Well that’s just untrue. Ottawa stopped trying to score after the coin toss and we still put up 31. 😂

Screw this game manager bullshit ... You know what kind of person takes very few shots, but has a ton of impact anyway? 

A sniper. 

Nichols is a sniper.

I remember plenty of people who thought "Kindly" was another word for "SOB". 

it was an ironic nickname, like if Hardrick's nickname was "Tiny" or Matt Nichols nickname was "turnover machine"...like that.

some pre-game fun.......

Don't think the Hamilton O line and other blockers can handle the Bombers defence against the run. (something like 60 yards a game allowed)

Hamilton will have to pass, and there will be interceptions by backfoot Masoli, and hopefully a pick six.

 

 

That stat might be low because the Bombers have been ahead most of the game.

Or a dude with a rocket launcher.

Kindly Cal didn't have any problem running up the score. I recall there were games where they scored 60. or close to it.

 

Wpg vs Ottawa at home. 65-25. That was a gooder!

I hate working on Game Day. We should all get a half day off on game day as we are maybe half a day productive...

SOFA KING EXCITED

Calm yourself with a nice, hot Dicken's cider. 

 

Talk about pressure. The Winnipeg - Hamilton clash rises to a new level because this game must save the CFL TSN TV audience 😜 😳 😉

Now, I’m sure this game will provide the necessary field action, but we’d still have to worry about how this game will be called and by whom...(mostly by whom )

 

How many times will we hear....

"Speedy B!"

"Bombers need no Luck!" 

Or something of the like...

Some recent memorable moments from the Hammer:

 

Anybody playing the rod black game tonight if he is doing the game ?

Think Lucky was just wired for the Bombers....not necessarily TSN mic-ed...

19 completitions in a row for Nichols still. Quite windy in HamTown so we will see how much passing is effected.
