So playing the top two teams in the west three times each is a easy schedule.

Stamps fans, and Calgarians, hate us. They hate Winnipeg to a creepy degree. 

winnipeg is always getting the short end of the stick from the league and how on earth do they figure we had an easy schedule? Never mind playing both playoff games on the road... 

I mean hate us and be jealous all you like but at least be honest about it. 

We played the Riders and Stamps three bloody times!! How is that an easy schedule? 

 

(Well, we played them four times) 

we played in Regina 3 times and calgary twice this season. We played Edmonton when they were actually good at the start of the year (an annual tradition of theirs) 

I dunno you can find a team with the tougher schedule than Winnipeg. Saskatchewan are the ones with all the breaks in the regular season.

It is Mutual.

They are a branch of houston .

Apparently we had short weeks compared to other teams? I don't know, again, Calgary hate for all things Winnipeg is really off-putting and doesn't always translate into intelligent debate

LOL.  In the pic, Sara looks smug, Mike looks like he snuck one off and Biggie looks like he was the first one to discover Mike's release!

 

It looked more to me like the player behind him had grabbed O'Shea's ass or given him an impromptu prostate check...

Why do you suppose that is?

In a mostly unrelated story, I was in Edmonton for a wedding this summer and a rando found out I was from Winnipeg and he just said "Haha". I said, "dude, you live in Edmonton", and said, "Oh, touche".

Maybe its a feeling of thinking they're better than us until they think about it for a sec?

I honestly think that it started when the Jets were coming back. The rumours and then it happening. 

Calgary thinks they're the London of the prairies. The fact Winnipeg could have an NHL team too was insulting to them. It took away another thing to create this false image of Calgary being a Prairie mecca. They don't even think of themselves as another cold weather western Prairie city. 

I've been to many NHL barns as a jets fan for the Jets 2.0. The only place I got worse treatment than Calgary was Manhattan. Ranger fans are human garbage. At least Flames fans were just rude.. They were hostile and threatening.

That easy schedule narrative is straight up horse turds.
Much like how the Stampeders played in the second half two Sundays ago.

does it count if one of them isn't against the Stamps?

Why not! I'm counting it.

just tell them were sorry that the league put the stamps 3x in our sched

Ahh Good morning all! Just woke up from my beer coma. Beer certainly helped with that stressful ending. 🍻
 

loved the shoving aside of Mike Abu Trainwreck at the trophy presentation. Rider fan disappointment is always a real special treat. LOL. Two years in a row we knock em out at home. Love it.

 

D is playing amazing and hopefully touchdownless steak continues. Everybody and there dog will be picking Hammytown to win. I wonder if Milt will continue to be anti Blue Bloomberg in his commentators. I hope Hall can confuse Evans like he did BLM.

 

Can Zack boy be our saviour and end this blasted streak? I think he can. Hammytown D coordinator has a huge task on his hands against us. We seem to be a threat both running and throwing the ball.

Are you a vegan? If so, does that mean you can't have a beef with anyone? Do you drool at the smell of freshly-mowed lawns?

Weird. I’ve seen a decent amount of stamps fans throwing their support for the Bombers.

I wonder which Bluebeliever was that picked Calgary to beat the bombers in the WSF? I would love to see us in our Blue Jersey's, but right now it doesn't really matter as long as we win. 

I wonder how you did the pickem my friend?  How many point you got off picking the big blue?  I know I pick them in 80% of the time and they treated me very well.  And yes I stand by my pick as it was the most likely outcome.  I did the pickems to win / based on the most likely outcomes / favorites and it landed me in the top 3 I believe.  Full disclosure I picked WPG/HAM this week but I just started with the pickem here and look forward to them next year as I was really happy with how I did this year (weak ending though!).  I should have left the blue glasses on LOL.  This final game is too hard to call but if I went with how I picked them I would take the favorite, who are the CATS by a slight margin b/c of their offensive power (weather pending).

Weird also considering 40 percent of their population is from Winnipeg.

Similar I think. They have a good run defence. But, now that we've established a throwing game, it may open things up a bit. 

Yep, in their last match-up the Cats were fairly effective shutting down Strev. and company.

STREVELER, Chris  8/46  5.8 avg. 11 longest

HARRIS, Andrew  10/37  3.7 avg. 19 longest

AUGUSTINE, Johnny 1/9  9.0 avg. 9 longest 

DEMSKI, Nic 1/6  6.0 avg. 6 longest

Interesting numbers, I would take that from Strev but we need 100 from Demski / Harris combined to win.  Hope it's cold and nasty and we will put 200 on the ground!

Ticats more speed n skill. Bombers built for that Early in the week Calgary forecast. Cats aren't. 

The weather being colder is def a good thing for WPG. Not sure Banks and Addison are made for this stuff.

Zak is our Kahwi Leonard. He's our savior but he'll be gone next season

They have more production out of their QB and receivers 

We take it everywhere else
