On the 1-Game:

Get well soon, DT!

Warm up for the playoffs. Let's go Blue! 

Happy Rourke Day everyone! Time for the airing of grievances!

I predict a packed house full of Rourke groupies. People who can't get tickets will risk life and limb scaling the walls to get a glimpse of the legend that is Rourke. Women will tear each other apart trying to get his towel. Men will take out second mortgages to buy his game worn jersey. We are so lucky to be graced with his presence if only for a quarter

Found Farhan's burner.  

Wait, I’m confused. So is he vastly overrated? Because on the other thread everyone is saying how he’s going to garner massive interest and break the bank with his contract or get an NFL look automatically. Wish the haters could pick a lane, lol.

Whatever lane they take...it's headed for the ditch ....Far too much time taken up by a player who is just a 'might be'....orrrrr could be a 'never was'...Take away the hype and there's very little substance....When it comes down to it and in reality he hasn't done  anything in this league....Maybe for lion's fans....here ...not so much

The d***-riding is getting a bit tiresome, even Rourke thinks so.

Can we get Farhan to confirm that? Maybe JC Abbott can write a 5k word ass bleed about it.

I just hope we don't have to put up with Suitor slobbering all over Rourke.....and man what If it was Suitor and Farhan...hahaha...I'd prob drive a knife through my ears

Forecast: 10C (feels like 7) at kick off, with winds out of the SW of 19kmh gusting to 30. 

By the end, 9, feels like 6. 

Gorgeous fall weather. 

let's............*******............ goooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Tired of hearing about Rourke. Only concerned about Nov 13. Win would be nice, but I fully expect heavy scoops of vanilla on both sides of the ball, so we'll see what happens. I'm just very very very excited to park my fat ass in my recliner in the basement with a 1919 and do some yelling and screaming. 

 

Let's go Bluuuuuuuuuuueee!!  #FortHew #DefendTheFort

When you put context to what people are saying there's really not a lot of lane switching going on. Please, and feel free to use Google, name a CFL starting QB who has made less than 100k and put up the #'s he has? He is going to get a raise and there will be interest. That doesn't mean the non stop hand jobs from the media aren't getting to be a bit much.

was on the tsn app...clicked winnipeg blue bombers....first three stories all about Rourke, even though I had clicked on the Bombers!

Make no mistake. The majority of non-playoff team cfl fans and commentators want Nathan Rourke and the BC Lions to win this year's Grey Cup.

But the Bombers know what it takes to win it and are the better team.

thats the thing...which is big...we have 2 yrs now under our belt with knowing what to expect...how to win, and not be flustered...with basically 3/4's of our roster...will take an epic bed crapping in my opinion to blow it....and we did that in last yrs WF and still won....don't see it happening in back to back WF's at home

He can be a good qb worthy of an NFL look and massive raise and still be over rated you know.

But again, don't cut yourself on all that edge you're posting with.

interesting tidbit from Our Man Tait: 

https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/10/28/game-preview-bc-vs-wpg-5/?utm_source=dlvr.it

Take note: Winnipeg’s depth chart features a significant change at the linebacker position, with Shayne Gauthier starting at middle linebacker and Adam Bighill moving to the weak-side linebacker position.

“For us middle linebacker and the weak-side linebacker… it doesn’t make a lot of difference in our defence. He’ll play both,” said Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea. “It has to go on the paper (depth chart) somewhere. He’ll play both. Shayne, Malik (Clements)… you’re going to see all sorts of guys playing different spots.”

which prompts the question, "why change it then?"

Wouldn’t be surprised to see that come playoff time. 

Gauthier has proven he can handle the middle, and Biggie will likely switch for obvious passing downs. 
 

I like it . 
 

 

he had an 11 game season where he had early games where he feasted on garbage...got some unworldly luck receiver work...legit and penalty missed aided...and had some games where he was average at best....looked confused and made errors....so yeah the Canadian part of it was a lot of the hype...the media wanted a story, and there is a lot of as of yet inconclusive hype and rah rah about him...he hasnt proven anything yet....he may....he may not....but 11 games does not a HOF player make....u do recall guys like James Franklin...Jonathan Jennings...Fajardo....Arbuckle...heck even Pipkin and Printers....looked like world beaters out of the gate...the next big star...cant miss....then teams got tape...things plateued...and where they now....even in the limited time this yr...once teams seen what he was doing and got success from...then took that away...well he was all of a sudden just a regular QB...so keep the hype train rolling media and fans....it aint affecting the Bombers...Or the Stamps in the least...and to be honest I bet they could care less who is the QB as they know what to do, and how to go about the game
