Why? We're the best team in the league. Why would we care who we beat in the Cup. Seriously, the silliness factor of some people is getting worse the more we win.

Agreed the correct answer is that the Riders should lose each and every game by the biggest margin Booch, rebusrankin and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolby Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Pounding the Riders in their own stadium while we occupy their locker room would be pretty satisfying. Noeller and GCJenks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 I don’t give a **** who we play. Winning the Cup is satisfying enough.

Goalie Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) FTR and not the AEW tag team... F The Riders. I honestly don't think they get in. They started off 3 or 4 and 1. They are on a huge free fall. I'd suspect if the Riders do get in They lose to Montreal or Toronto in the ESF Edited October 10, 2022 by Goalie bearpants and GCJenks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geebrr Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Such dumb logic. why would I want to win 16 games only to have some undeserving team have home field advantage in the most important game of the year? like FFS Blue-urns, bearpants and Noeller 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather face the Riders. Losing teams have attitudes like this. I doubt the Bombers are afraid of neither. The Ti Cats had their Grey Cup three weeks ago. It won't happen twice.

Booch Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Not that I am...or the team is worried...but why would you wanna face a team u have wiped the field with for 3 seasons...in a 1 game takes all game...on their turf...in what could be horrible conditions...and obviously geeked up after being first team to do the crossover to grey cup route? That's just plain asking to be upset...as they are due to win one...that's just asking for trouble. That being said if we get there...i dont think it matters who we play...we win GCJenks, CodyT and Blue-urns 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is dumb logic because you let one bad game cripple you with fear. I don’t know how to make this more clear: I don’t care who we play - and no I don’t care which Calgary QB plays. We are the best team in the league. Why would I cheer for an inferior team to get the extra boost of a home field advantage with a Cup on the line? Do I think we would lose? No Would I cheer for it to happen? No, I want it as quiet as possible for our offence. Compare the last two Grey Cups vs the same team where the shittier version was more competitive at home. Also- **** the Gappers, their fans/team deserve to miss the playoffs. Why do you regularly come on a Bomber board and ask for people to cheer a team that is by far the most hated?

bearpants Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Two things… beating the riders at their home (our second home) in the GC would, of course, be extremely satisfying… but 1) the riders likely aren’t going to make the playoffs and 2) even if they sneak in, they’ll get killed in Toronto or Montreal in the east semis… and as many people mentioned, it doesn’t matter who or where we play, the team goal is 1-0 every week… and that doesn’t change if we’re playing on nov 20 ps…. that ended up being like 4 or 5 things Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't make any logical sense that it's always the East that is so bad, but it just always is. Not sure how to defend it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm not sure that the East-West thing as all that important anymore. It seems to me that it may be nothing more than a nostalgic relic of the "old days". Top six teams get in. Might motivate teams to draft/plan better because as it stands right now, in the east you have a minimum 50-50 chance of making the playoffs. A little motivation is a good thing.

Agreed those times have past, traditional rivalries can be played out during the season but for the championship it should be the two best teams going head-to-head to make the event more exciting and worth watching for all fans. The CFL is so small it would be an easy transition and the league needs to do everything it can to spark more fan interest.
