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.

Masoli comes out like a rock star. Only thing missing was his entourage. Hope he's okay.

Just not tonight- he was eviscerating the Bomber defence

Humes is going to get talked to about those penalties..

Definitely a catch 

Incomplete....or is it.....he caught the ball, or did he? 

Lol

Top notch commenting lol

Woli taking the spotlight so far tonight

Catch was good, and Nichols seems to be getting into the rhythm. Bomber O-line is not holding up the rush well

reset at half

dominate

The old need 6 throw 2

The old, looked downfield and no one was open so took the open guy in the flats. 

Bombers have no excuse if they lose this game. Masoli is out but both offence and defence has to step up.

I absolutely hate Lapo's playcalling at times. Wasn't he fired for this nonsense once or twice already?

Its because Lapo has only used Harris like 4 times so Ticats know Nichols is throwing

Even if they come back to win it won't count because, you know, Masoli is out.

D is responsible for 1 TD. 

The Other was a pick 6 pretty much and the FG was off a fumble. 

The 2 picks and fumble are why we are losing. 3 Turnovers. 

If the Bombers play a clean half, they should win. 

The TiCats earned that 1st TD. It was well planned and executed. Other than that..

Just popped in here to see if this place was melting down yet. Surprisingly civilized... Nice work, gang. Go Blue... Need a better 2nd half. 

Yeah, we dont need Matthews.... /sarcastica/

This mess has nothing to do with Matthews. The defence got lit up, the turnovers have really hurt us, and Nichols looked off his game but improving (we hope).

Harris needs to run the ball in the 2nd half,  Hamilton has a terrible run D and for some reason we are not exploiting it?

I think our game manager will get it together in the second half ....IF he doesn't.....fire the manager we need a qb.

Well on top of the bag of dicks this game has been already... 

 

Obviously xrays needed to determine the extent of Masoli's knee injury.

Wondering why Walker was in last drive.
