Opponent unknown, but the Bombers will host the Western Final for the first time in 49 years. 

 

Can Harris come back?
I'm assuming McGuire dresses behind Collaros?
Who's in/who's out? 

 

Long, long range weather (as of November 22): High -3, feels like -9. Wind 21. 

(as of November 24): High -11, feels like -18. Wind 26. 

(as of November 26): High -5, feels like -10. Wind 18, gusting 27.

(as of November 29): High -9, feels like -14, Wind 14, gusting 24. 

(as of December 1): High -7, feels like -12, Wind 20, gusting 30. 

(as of December 3): High -5, feels like -12, Wind 33, gusting 50.  This is interesting, the wind has picked up SIGNIFICANTLY, to the point that I don't even think the kicking game is going to matter. But, the high on Monday is -22, which tells me it's likely the temperature will get much colder prior to or during the game. The weather is definitely going to be a factor but we're still too far out to see what the full impact will be. It's going to be fun. 

Do what Willie says and no one gets hurt. 

 

Who's coming in from out of town?

The forecast is all over the place. I don't think they can beat us in a clean game, but worried about the weather levelling the playing field.

Follow "weather in the Peg" on Twitter. He gives the most consistent forecasts that I have seen.

He is not forecasting anything overly nefarious. Possible light snow, reasonable weather for December 5th.

This team is a cold weather team. The colder the better. There will be no leveling of the playing field due to weather. The colder it is the more it tips the field in the Bombers favour.

They are shutting it down in +4 in Regina today.

I think that was more true last year. This season I feel like we rely on the passing game a lot more, and CoFaj brings more to the running game than Zach does. A slippery fields favours the ball carrier.

 

Jason Mass?

They are the gift that keeps on giving. I would rather it was Shivers but don't care either way.

 

Sorry Cody, Jesus won't be making the trip with you this weekend... no sprinkles for you.

Winnipeg outrushed the Riders during the two games in the series.

CF will be running for his life all game.

We will see how he does in probably the coldest game of his life with a pack of wild dogs running him down.

Missing one guy in that picture that has a decent resume!

I hope CF is not running out of the pocket the way to beat him is keep him in the pocket make him beat you with his arm.

He will be out of the pocket. Show me a game where he isn't.

And there will be no pocket.

Crapardo will try one of those do si do moves to try to escape and someone will plant him into next year

We have a much more rounded Offence this year. Yes. But we have the same hogs and running backs and WRs blocking. Don't get it twisted, this team still loves that style of ball.

And they hit a different level of physical in the playoffs.

The whole team does. 

LFG

I would also think ZC continues to be pretty pumped playing his former team i.e sticking it to them real good.

And read his spin move, make him pay physically if he chooses his feet instead of his arm.

I'll give him that he's tough but relentless pressure will be his death on Sunday. A very healthy and rested d line will feast,just spy him here and there and the rest will take care of itself.

crappy weather tilts the field even more into the Bombers favour....our oline is even better than 2018 and 2019 and u see what they did in the colder weather and i the playoffs...they gotta be licking their chops....Hardrick...Desjarlais Couture..eLI  are all better now than the last 2 seasons...Bryant and Neuf....show me a better tackle and Guard...their closest rival play on the same damn line! And the funny kicker to that is we still have Gray who cant get on the roster and likely starts on any team in the league...a cold game...and nice mixture of Harris/Johhny and Brady to tenderize the Rider meat will allow Zack to surgically carve them up...factor in the receiver's and how they lay the wood blocking....good luck to you SASK

there will be no overconfidence with this team....complacency or rust...not in front of their home crowd who they truly play for. we looked just fine after every other bye week, and this game isn't just your regular game...

If the Bombers were to win 57-0 on 8 TDs and a punt single, TB's first post after the game would be telling us how lucky the Bombers are that the punt single didn't come back to bite us and we can't afford that type of performance in the Grey Cup. A close game would just give him more to be pessimistic about. Either way....he won't be disappointed.

The best offensive line in the CFL & second isn't even close.

Who actually is second? Montreal?
