Winnipeg was #1 in Rushing in 2019 & Hamilton #4. In the last 9 Grey Cups, the team that had more rushing yards won 8 times. The better rushing team is 22-5 since 1992.

Big games by Harris and Jefferson would be huge.

You're suggesting we hand-off to Jefferson and let him plow through??

Genius!!!

It would be more effective if Jefferson took his hand-offs from Evans.

.sure they played with a back-up QB majority of the year, but he played all year..unhurt after that and is a thrower..

I think in this case the "back up QB" excuse was only valid for about 2 or 3 games... he's clearly superior to Masoli now...

serious question... why have we never used Jefferson in a goal line package?... he's got great hands...

Buzzkill....😏

Did you know the Riders were shut out of awards this year.....that's awesome. 

Since the start of the 2000 season, when neither Winnipeg or Hamilton has won a Grey Cup, the Bombers are only 5-18 in games played in McMahon Stadium, including the playoffs. But Hamilton is even worse, at 2-18, with a current 15 game losing streak.

Is that actually right?? They're on a 15-gamer at McMahon? Wow... I like that a lot. 

McMahon and the Toilet Bowl are IGF west in 2019

We were actually just talking about how the Bombers will be super comfortable at McMahon having played there so often this year... 

Did You Know

It was possible to lose 3 quality O-Linemen at the start of a season and still bring home the prize? ...thanks to being prepared.

Kyle, and crew. Thanks for being prepared.

I really hope the Tabbies are going into Sunday's tilt with fat heads, underestimating their opponent, and resting on their regular season laurels - making them ripe for a solid punch in the mouth early on.

And to think...we have Speller and Desjarlais as kids who showed they can get it done....one of which was filling in for Couture who was doing really really well and is only 25...as well as Grey and Eli (who got valuable reps this year after a year away and looked good) and all 25 or under...damn...And for all the haters...gotta say that once Neuf got his game feet back made that O-line dominant again...we are set up well along the O-line when you have Hardrick and Bryant boxing them in

Sure was on full display last night who the Most Outstanding O-lineman is...Man Bryant got jobbed..did Laurent and Davis even play???..Watch Van Zyl on a couple of those sacks..Willie made him look like his feet were in cement

Did You Know

Justin Medlock tied a record for most field goals and attempts in a Grey Cup?

6 for 7

Medlock. One of our best signings in this new era.

 

Did You Know

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are Grey Cup Champions!!!

Just in case anyone missed it.

Wow, what a F'n crazy season.

At the end of last season, Speller would've been considered our 3rd string centre... he's now a grey cup starting and winning centre!...

for all the people who are just ******* lunatics over the course of a season and can't handle the roller coaster that every single season will always be (!!!) I really hope this is a reminder to just chill the **** out and enjoy the ride. 

amazing run...under dog in all 3 games...general consensus on all the poles and predictions by "experts" that we'd lose...minimal media coverage or respect other than we were playing in each game...had to fuel the boys...and for that...Thank You media...and as Harris said in that promo video "Shut....them....up"

Did You Know..

#NHLJets return home THIS TUESDAY and Grey Cup Champions @Wpg_BlueBombers will be dropping the puck! 
 

Wish I could be there for the noise (and the W)

Did you know.....

 

Since 1988, Riders and Bombers have won the same amounts of Grey Cups. Since 1990, Riders and Bombers have won the same amount of grey cups. Since 2008, Riders and Bombers have won the same amount of Grey Cups lol.

Not much left to chirp about.

 Did You Know...

👁‍🗨 that #1990 - is now a Vestige - (a trace of something that is disappearing or no longer exists.)

👁‍🗨 Strange, that I look to two plays involving 2 point conversions as fond memories, and they both involve Calgary.
Firstly, Janarion Grant’s brilliant run back return for 2 points in a 29-28 Bomber win. And,
The safety we nailed Mitchell with, early 2nd Q, semi-final Calgary. Kind of feel like it set the tone.

👁‍🗨 Remind me. How great is a CFL record 16 knockdowns by a defensive lineman?

 

👁‍🗨 LaPolice will soon learn that having a Rideau Hall is not the same as having a Ritchie Hall.

👁‍🗨 Yeah, I don’t even care about Christmas this year, I already got the cup I wanted. Besides, if I talk about the season too much someone’s liable to start calling it Big Christmas.

👁‍🗨 Contrary to popular belief, Coach LaPolice did not fly directly to Ottawa for his signing announcement, he went for shorter, safer routes, Sudbury, Kingston, that sort of thing. Nobody knows why Medlock accompanied him...
