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?

Is the Grey Cup next year in Regina?

I missed the GC in Calgary. I’ll be missing it in Hamilton. I swear to god if the Bombers are playing the GC at IGF West I will be there!

They need a whole new OL, and locker room culture rebuild by next November....good luck with that.

And for the CFL to look the other way when they obliterate the salary cap.

Yes. Then Hamilton AGAIN. 

To be fair, they gave it to Hamilton again due to the uncertainty about COVID.  There was never a plan to expand the stadium with temp bleachers this year because of that.

I realize why they did it. 

I wonder who will get the 2024 GC? It should be the West chance again and I bet BC makes a big push to get it. I could see Edmonton, Winnipeg and BC all being interested.

Keep it coming. Let the "media" build him up, while the football minds want to move on. It's going to get messy. 

Watching the Bailey fumble, Bouka and Purifoy made a nice play.

Impressive.  Given that the rest of the players in the league, simply don't care

Give the Riders D credit, they definitely forced a lot of those turnovers. Which they needed to, because they couldn't cover us otherwise.

Yup! They caused two forced fumbles for sure!

It was a good time! My buddies and i were there, tarps off, in full Streveler furcoatness with giant blown up Bob Irving heads on sticks lol! The Bombers have really done a great job of making the game accessible and fun for everyone, especially teens/early 20's people. I mean theyre there more to drink and party than to watch the game but at least they are spending money and supporting the team. And hey, everyone loves a winner so im sure youve turned a lot of them into Bomber fans over the last few years. Winning helps make it a party atmosphere. When youre in a good mood because youve got a great chance to win every night its easier to let loose and party!

LOL... that was you?!... amazing!... I said to my buddy... we did a lot of dumb **** 15+ years ago (in our late teens/early 20s) at games but never showed up to a -20 game without shirts!

This article is pure comedy... I would legitimately be embarrassed by it if I was a rider fan... to summarize he basically says "no body wants to be in Sask but Fajardo does (well, kind of, since he still lives in Nevada in the offseason)"

This isn't the 1st time CF has complained about the press/social media being harsh when things don't go well. It obviously gets to him. Which happens, social media can be hell and it's not for everyone. My one question is....

How has no one told him to get off social media during the football year? Maybe someone has....and if so why wouldn't he listen? 

Eventually you have to take responsibility for you're own actions.

No. It's everyone's fault but his. He's the lone shining beacon of hope in an otherwise dark and dreary world

The only good way for sports figure, like CF, to be on social media is if it's all one way and he's not reading the replies. It has to be one way, unless you have crazy mental toughness (and I doubt it ends up well, anyhow). 

Riders defensive end Micah Johnson couldn’t believe it.

It was brought to his attention after the game that the Bombers turned the ball over six(!) times. Saskatchewan was plus-four in the turnover category on the night.

"That’s crazy. The football gods were on their side today... There’s really no explanation for that... Usually if you go up plus-one, your chances (of winning) are significant. Anything over plus-two, you’re supposed to win that game," Johnson said.

The football gods where on the Bombers side... How can you be so naive? 

 

Or maybe you just aren't that good?

Riders: God, why didn't you help us today?

God: I forced 6 turnovers for you.

Riders: But, we still lost. 

God: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

 

Cowflop.
If the football gods were truly on our side - we wouldn't of seen 5 turnovers in the first half

They also got to Sunday after Fajardo throwing 4 picks the week before.

That ******* team.

That Marshall pass was the worst pick of the day. One of the rare times Marshall actually had his guy well covered. 

The pick that the LB picked off- ZC rushed the throw and I think his arm may have even got hit. The LB made a nice play on a slippery field. Not an easy catch.

While you're watching, take a look at that POS Gainey going nuts on Bouka after the amazing Darvin catch.

Public embarrassment from a team mate is the Rider way.

5:30 into the podcast, they "kind of" discussed the missed review call. MOS dances away from directly criticizing the decision.

He is the chosen one after all.

The Riders missed that pass to a wide open Duke Williams and the next play was a forced fumble by Jax with them in scoring territory.
