Still think we beat them, though. The Stamps OL are pretty good. They played with the Riders Front 7. 5 minutes ago, Brandon said: So risky, I guess the Lions are going all in this year. We'll see how he does. Remember he plays 15 minutes in a climate controlled dome. If they beat the Stamps they'll have to come back to the winter elements here Nov 13th. Running on a frozen field can't be good for a cold foot that isn't healed yet. And there's no way Rourke's foot is fully healed.

This was during the terrible part of our schedule as well. We beat them a month later for the 3rd time in a month- that seemed like a tough ask. Now it is “for a fourth time” is a tough ask. This team doesn’t care about what happened last game, the game before, the month before. I don’t think they even care about what happened the play before. It means nothing.

TBURGESS Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 If you believe in Karma (I don't), then you have to be worried about meeting Calgary in the playoffs. Calgary coulda woulda shoulda won at least one, maybe two, of the those games. They have the best running game in the league and the best backup QB. rebusrankin, Noeller and MrFreakzilla 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does us beating them all 3 games have anything to do with karma? Calgary should not have won any of those games, they were not the better team in any of them? In fact, if you believe in karma the argument would be that we should cream them by 20+ points because the closeness of our 3 meetings is not reflective of how we outplayed them every single game. 1 hour ago, bearpants said: they kind of have to... if they get Rourke back next year (i.e. he doesn't have NFL looks) his salary is literally going to quintuple (5x, I had to look the word up to confirm)... and that throws off their salary structure of all the money they've spent on receiver and O-line... Rourke will have a lot of different pass catching options next year. He is under a rookie contract next year. It would be monumentally stupid of the Lions to not up him in the offseason but they don't actually have to do so. 15 hours ago, SpeedFlex27 said: The Stamps OL are pretty good.

I mean...they were literally a fluke last play of the game away from winning. Jordan should have caught that ball and I'd guess 8 out of 10 times he does. The narrative that we kicked their ass isn't true if they were that close to winning. No one wins because they put up big yardage. They win because they scored enough points to win. CGY was very close to us in that category. K-Shack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 for all the worry about karma and yada yada........ the thing you have to keep in mind is the Bombers truly are another class above everyone else in this league. Yes, come playoffs, Any Given Sunday and all that........ but we SHOULD beat every other team in the league every time because we really are that much better than everyone else, from coaching to talent on the field.
