I predict that O’Shea will lead us to a Grey Cup win and also that no one should start a thread right after a loss ha

Was hufnagel available to play in the grey cup in 84' ? 

Yeah, he played. Did well, too. Clements got hit & lost one of his contact lenses & had to come out to get new ones on the sidelines. Hufnagel ran a few plays before Clements came back in.  In the fourth quarter having replaced Clements, Hufnagel threw a 4 yard TD pass to Jeff Boyd.

This thread aged well. And then the updated comments from the usual whiners are always good for an added chuckle.

Some here should go on hop the green bandwagon with the some of the diarrhea being posted. You're doing this fanbase a disservice.

HEY...

The Wiinipeg Blue Bombers ARE ******* GREY CUP CHAMPS!!!!!

Let's get behind that!

Those are Collaros numbers.... you know what they look like? They look an awful lot like typical Matt Nichols numbers with this team. 

Sure except Nichols #'s are against OTT, TOR, BC, EDM.

Collaros went 4-0 against the 3 best opposing D's in the league and didn't turn it over once in the playoffs.  Hell of a stretch to try to say Nichols could have done the same, we'll never know.

Crap on MOS. Crap in Nichols. It's the same BS we've heard for ages. But, but, but... 

Can't hear ya with the Grey Cup ringing in my ****ing ear. Bunch of whiners. 

The fact that MOS has managed four straight seasons of double digit wins in a ruthless West Division without a star QB says a lot about the team and culture he has built here.  You can feel the difference in attitude and approach all over the place.  There is always an urgency to win the next play, but they aren't looking past that or stuck in bullshit pissing contests like some of the players/units on Hamilton and Sask are.

You can say that they were weak sisters but he still had to play well enough to beat them. The guy deserves some credit.

Ok, then. The Ti-Cats had a great season, but that does not make them any less inept in the Grey Cup game.

Sure, but look at the numbers the rest of the QB's around the league put up on Ottawa and Toronto especially.  Nothing impressive by a veteran QB.  Quite a few 400 yard games put up vs those two.

MOS is on his way to being a club legend.

Is he not already a legend?

Now he is. He's what, the 7th head coach of the Bombers of all time to win a cup? 

Undoubtedly yes.

Edit: 6th

Good point, he is the guy who ended the drought. I was thinking more along the lines of him staying another 7-10 and hopefully winning a few more cups.

Anyone find it crazy that Calgary only has 8 cups in their history? It feels like they've been dominant for nearly 2 decades

Lost a lot of Grey Cups despite a lot of 13-14-15 win seasons.

I'm over it and don't care. You can engage in score settling all you want. I'm in far too positive a place with our team to argue about this. 

Osh is a legend now I’m fine with that I’ve always cheered for him - I thought he sunk his own ship this season - nice to see the forum back to normal after a week ha

Only 2 cups in the last 10 years. Feels more like 4-5 since they always seem to be there. Kind of a disappointment from the eyes of a Stamps fan, no? Definitely a solid franchise, but need to win a few more to be called the ‘Patriots of the North’ as I’ve heard some call them. 
 

Then again after 29 years, I’d gladly take 2 cups in 10 years. 😇

Just an interesting aside, when you compare the 1984 Grey Cup qbs to the 2019 Bombers there was no one on the 84 team like Streveler but you can certainly compare Zach Collaros to Tom Clements. As well as Matt Nichols to John Hufnagel. 

yeah, at times Collaros reminded me of Clements too. Tommy wasn't the fastest or strongest, especially compared to a modern QB, but he was like an eel in the pocket and could throw dimes on the move.

Yeah, Clements wasn't a running qb where he'd pick up 80 yards a game but he could scramble around in the backfield, move the pocket, evade the rush, make tacklers miss, extend the play & find an open receiver.

The Stamps could easily have another 5 Grey cups but they choke more than they win.

That's insane considering they've had home field advantage frequently in the play offs and in the regular season they've had an insane home record.

This goes back to the 1960's when they lost three Western Finals to the Bombers in 61, 62 & 65 & the Lions in 64. Then the Riders in  67 & 69. Lost  the Grey Cup in 68 & 70. Finally won their second Grey Cup in 1971. They were 1-6 in the Western Finals that decade. You can bet that some of those Stamps teams were the best in Canada but they couldn't win. Add in the GC & playoff failures since 1990. They won 6 Grey Cups since 1990 but lost a lot more with superior teams just like in the 60's. They don't have the same swagger in the playoffs historically. They choke more than they win.
