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?

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

Without the turnovers this game is a blow out by half time. The football gods and Jesus sprinkles did everything in their power.

It's a good thing that's Fajardo falling down if it was Duke Williams he would have been knocked out.

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). 

No replies, no articles. Nothing. If you want to post something you post it and Ghost it.

He sounds like someone who loved reading all the articles last year and really truly believed that he would be treated the same even if things didn't go well.

Welcome to reality CF.

He falls in love with his own press clippings, unless of course they are negative then whoever wrote them is a bad, bad man.

You never really can say, but 21-0 by the end of the 1st quarter is not out of the question.

I’m picturing Craig Dickenson in that voice now calling Fajardo a “******* narcotics agent” 

Woli got to the 2ish yard line when he fumbled.  It would of then been 3rd down.  Do we go for it?

I would have.

No brainer to me.

Safe is death in the playoffs

Love the consensus and aggressiveness.  I'd go for it too.

One thing I told some of the people I watched the game with is I didn't think fighting for the extra 1-2 yards after contact was worth it in the conditions.  We would of saved a lot of brain cells if they just went down on contact.

 

Man o man Cody....grow a set...that was just sad, and embarrasing...dude is not a leader..way too weak upstairs

And yeah...the Rider's didnt push us to the brink....they got 6 turnovers and couldn't capitalize at all....why?...because our defense..as usual came to play, and CF is not an elite QB regardless what RiderNation and their media say, or think...Plain and simple

The better team won....we did everything that was discussed prior to the game that could cause us to lose the game, and they still couldn't beat us...facts are facts.

as for ZC....I blame him for 1 interception...the one to Harris...wtf was that???....The Demski one...all on Demski...maybe conditions (cold hands) as we have seen him make that catch all year long

The one to Lawler...Lawler had is man beat, and Zack recognized, but the wind just killed that ball....again....conditions were a big reason....read, and beating the coverage was there...but **** happens in games like that....didn't rattle or effect Zack...he just continued his game plan...made plays...and we won

It's not like we were playing against Doug Flutie.  At worst, we end up with a safety.

I’m glad they feel lucky to have him. If they’re complacent with CF in Saskatchewan we will continue to own them. No complaints here from me.

I hope CF is the Riders QB for the next 50 years. Go CF!

Alford made a ******* great play on the ball on the third last play for the Riders.

Came down hill and knocked the ball away from KSB.

That kid is a stud

He also knocked McRoberts out short on the next play.

I am torn between being empathetic and mercilessly mocking him, but with either option... pure cringe.  

If you are truly torn about how to react, maybe ask yourself “if this was a Blue Bomber saying this, how would I feel?”  Then ask “if it was a person or team I have no allegiance for a or against either way (real life example: Simone Biles), how would I feel?” Is there a difference based on allegiance? If so, should there be and why? If not, how are you reacting to others whose have clear opinions one way or another. No right or wrong one way to feel, but maybe this approach helps you sort out the ambivalence and what your beliefs and values as a fan and a human being are, and if those stances are the same for each role.

Sounds like a bunch of bafflegab to me and maybe a good psychologist ...sport or otherwise.... can untangle things for Faj

Rider fans crying about Zach not having nice words about their organization. Do they really think there's a nation wide/league wide conspiracy against them? They're a total clown show of a team, organization, and fan base. They got a taste of success in the 2000's and went from lovable losers to insufferable winners. It became a fad to go and powerdrink at the games and be total assholes to visitors (source: me and people I know). They let what precious little success they had get to their heads and decided to act like entitled hillbillies who struck oil. They became the football beverly hillbillies but instead of being lovable Podunk idiots, they were like a truck full of dumb asses from Alabama who drove in from the mountains and are rude to the locals. There's a reason Zach has great things to say about Hamilton and not Saskatchewan. 

I hope for 2 things. I hope we win on Sunday, and, I hope we as a fan base stay the hell away from where the Rider fan base went. I hope we stay humble and the best fans in the country. F*** Saskatchewan and their pig fans. Zach is right, you and your club can pound sand.

The thing that makes me laugh is things like Scott Moe saying "the Grey Cup belongs at home in Sask" and other fans saying the Riders at the top of standings is "things back to where they should be"... if we're talking historical (ie the first 90 years of that team's existence)... then Sask should permanently be at the bottom of the standings... If you visit a place 4 times in 110 years... I wouldn't call that home 😂

The best part about the ineptitude of that organization? They've got the worst championship win % of active teams currently in the CFL at .211 (19 appearances - 4 wins, 15 losses).

He's a total wiener, if Darren Cameron was the Riders PR director he would have rushed in, pulled the electrical cord and shuffled him out the door to save the franchise from embarrassment.  Fajaja was paid $415,000 this season and is scheduled to make $515,000 next season, he's blubbering and professing his love for Sask. because he knows he isn't worth that money and he doesn't have a hope in hell of getting it anywhere else!  Slow as they are over there, they're eventually going to figure this out and boot his tail out the door.
