Weather:

-11 (feels like -16) at kickoff. 

Dropping to -13 (feels like -18) during the game. 

Wind minimal - gusting to 14km/h. 

Snow? Nope. 

But it's Calgary so by the time I've posted this the weather forecast has changed three times. 

 

Last time the Bombers played in Calgary in the WSF was 1982.

Demski as Ferrari... Yaaaaaaa... I dunno about that. 

Mustang ?

Demski proved his mettle yesterday for sure, just seems a waste of talent having Petermann watch from the sidelines. 

Yep it's too bad, Petermann will probably leave for greener pastures, he's a great backup but he's not displacing Demski or Woli. .

Yesterday was about as enjoyable a football game as I can remember, in person. The Banjo Bowl was pretty sweet too but we kicked their asses so early it was almost anti climatic.

I am fully expecting to be competitive in Regina next weekend, and frankly, I think it's ours to lose. Fajardo being banged up and our team seems to be peaking at just the right time of the year. 

2 wins baby. 2 wins.

I realized that yesterday was the first time I've ever seen a playoff win in my life. That was neat to be a part of. All the Bombers fans congregating behind the bench in the final 3 minutes is always fun...

Can you imagine the fan reactions if the Bombers had won a couple more games and had hosted that game?

It's a Houston Astros jersey. He's from outside of Houston. Interesting selection though. 

Now I know. 👍

I watched the post-game presser on CFL.ca. I cant help but noticed the color that Bo is wearing, not a Bombers uni but it’s blue and gold. 😜

Huff wont like that.   It's almost as if Bo was half way out the door.   As someone said in another post.   I wouldn't be surprised if Huff moves on from BLM in the off season.

I gotta ask... Seriously.. Are you a bomber fan? For real. Cuz reading your posts.. I never actually see anything that suggests you are. Bombers just win in Calgary.. Could you imagine if? Seriously?

Can't wait......should be lots of tickets available now that the Stsmps have to clean out their lockers early.....😌

Heh sounds like me and Noeller  met yesterday behind the bench without realizing it

I hear Quick Six (that’s the Stampeder’s horse that does laps when they score TDs) had to get extra exercise today because he sure as h ll didn’t get much work yesterday.

For the Bo haters:

 

Even though he's a cocky, since this is from a credible source I gotta say I have a bit more respect for Mr. Mitchell.

I just thought of something ... remember Eric Rogers running up the stairs to greet our fans after scoring against us (twice) in Winnipeg? I wonder if he thinks that was a good idea now.

Agreed- I am often one of the first to **** on him- but yeah he was awesome yesterday.

starting to think O'Shea rope a doped the Stumps.

There was too much of a transformation in the defence,  and offence, for it to have just been" finally got it right."

I'm even wondering if Streveller really needed a walking boot.

thinking we just saw some season long, military level subterfuge.

honestly, did the Bomber players and staff seem surprised by the outcome?

also, I tend imagine things some times.

How can anyone not like this kid? My gawd! His enthusiasm is off the charts.

He clearly gets a major rush from playing football.

Couple more weeks... Fingers crossed.

This was playoff prep weeks leading into the playoffs..and smart coaches wont show full arsenal until Crunch

We've been sitting on this and running ot in practice for weeks now..a lot of the last few close workouts were reps for playoff schemes..and the last couple were fine tuning it...it wasnt implemented this week..or a big "adjustment" at the half like some think..u dont roll out a flawless overhaul in 6 days with no hiccups

It was pre planned for yesterday and these next 2 weeks..and I'll bet you Sask is gonna see some additional tweaks as well and its gonna be a sack fest with multiple turn overs

I rewatched the game while syncing with the CJOB broadcast and noticed on the very last non-victory snap Bob said AH33 looked injured after.  He said someone stepped on his foot.  I hadn't noticed before, but Bob is right about some sort of injury, but no one stepped on his foot.  It looks like a non-contact injury and it looks like a knee or lower leg thing.  Of course, it could have been some contact in a previous play.  After that play Harris is barely able to walk, hobbling to his next position for the V-formation.

I really hope it's just a minor nothing owie.  I hoped it just looked worse than it was.  Very odd it was on the last "real" play.

He be aight.... We noticed it from section S but he stayed in the game. The usual bumps and bruises from a cold weather game. It was at least -15 by the time the game ended and probably -20 with the windchill... Medlock was hanging his crotch over the sideline heater to keep the fellas toasty...
