This one is gonna be tough, possibly what determines home playoff game. I would like to see them protect Zach a little more, we saw this vs BC in game 2 and, well.....

as much as I would love that, if we beat them too bad we will disappoint in the west final. Gotta hope for the classic dominate the play on the field but not the score and squeeze out a two score win. 

I can’t wait for farhan to be pumping vaj tires for mop while the bombers pick 6 him.

The BC Lions have shared their first injury report of the week, ahead of their meeting with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday night at BC Place.

The Lions had defensive lineman Josh Archibald (shoulder) limited on Monday. The team had four other players as full participants, including quarterback Dane Evans (back), offensive lineman Sukh Chungh (ankle), defensive back Jalon Edwards-Cooper (illness) and fullback David Mackie (knee).

Farhan Lalji was cackling on twitter today just how many healthy Lions bodies were at practice. He sounded positively giddy. The broadcast is going to be brutal. Maybe it's a good thing I'll have to miss the game as I'll be on the road to Seattle. I was grumbling to myself about having to miss it but now I'm kinda glad I will.

Those 3 hours in the car during the game will be tough. I don't know if I'll be searching for the score or not... It may drive me crazy.

Why even play the game?  Just award the Lions the two points and let's be on our way...lol...

Big game. I'll be there with 6 more. We'll be cheering and wearing BLUE!

You can listen to the CJOB broadcast over your phone, just don't hold it up to your ear while driving!  Don't ask how I know.

I'll be in the US so my data plan isn't valid. I usually leave my phone at home. Just take my wife phone as we'll be together. My phone is a crappy old I Phone 7.

Crushing the Lions again....... Would be the correct redemption for blowing a 2 game lead........ by losing to some total jabroni teams.

Honestly, I like our chances if we show up. BC hasnt exactly thrived under adversity

What’s with TSN actively assigning homer play by play people to games… since Cuthbert left it’s like they gave up trying to find and develop competent people and just replaced it with blatant bias.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Rod Black just went nuts over whoever was winning.  Once the Bombers were good again I didn’t mind him so much 😏

it's about TSN being cheap... Why not have Marshall Ferguson do a west game or Farhan do an east game?... well because that would cost TSN money to fly them over instead of just using who is already there

Three hours of Farhan talking about how he wants to have Adam's baby. Great.

Some interesting trends for us and bc since our blow out of them at home.

bc has had 1 blow out win 37 to 9 vs cal. And 0 other win by 10 or more points with 1 lose by 17 to Hamilton. In the 7 games since they’ve averaged 32 points for and 27.1 points against with 2 loses both back to back. 
 

in that time we’ve had 2 blow out wins 1 win by 10 points or more we also had 2 loses not back to back and by 6 and 2 points. 
 In those 7 games we’ve averaged 34.14 points for and 21.7 points against. 
 

How strange too that both our loses came against ssk and ham. Edm played us both tough too.

The BC Dline is under sized, just keep running the ball with Brady. We manhandled that Toronto front and to me they are better than BC’s at stopping the run.  Control the clock to keep BC off the field by winning the TOP. Run right at Betts and frustrate him as he will begin to pout!!

That is interesting to know both BC and us lost to HAM. That loss for us still stunk, but makes it a bit more tolerable knowing other good teams also dropped some to the tabbies.

Yeah......

Have had some mysterious medical thing since May.  Still no diagnosis.  So what the hell...figured ...might as well be back in Indonesia, instead of chained to the couch....

Bc is no3 in rush yards against Toronto 1 and us 4. Our d has seen the least rush attempts, we have 5.5 ypc against bc has 4.9. 
 

Thing to watch is sacks and turn overs. Bc is tied for league lead in picks with 19 we are in a 3 way tie for 2nd fewest with 14 while tor has 12. We’ve forced 8 more turn overs 
 We’ve given up 29 sacks, the most  in a long time. But bc has given up 40. We are 2nd but far behind torontos 12 against and bc is 5th. 
Bc has made the most sacks with 49 while we are 4th with 40. 
 We have a big edge in big plays for/against as well. 
 

Statistically we are both very close across the board.

He's currently in the process of moving to Utah with his own TLC show coming up. Brother Husbands featuring Farhan, VAJ, and Rourke.

Yeah...we should easily handle BC's dline as our oline and b=Brady will just bully and bruise em.....factor in as well that we have planted that seed that we will attack them deep...with major success so you know first and foremost they are going to scheme to try and take that away...likely leaving extra space in the box for us to walk it down their donut boy yaps.....until they adjust, and hopefully the coaching staff has cemented in ZC head, and the receivers to play that grinding short quick game...come out and establish the line and who's boss before we stretch them out...ZC needs to stay focused on sapping the will out of em instead of deep shot after deep shot and forcing it.

We go in like that, we will be fine....we ran at will against the Argos Dline who are heads and tails better , and yeah they didn't have Oakman....but depth matters, and he has been healthy scratched several times...so this idea we played all scrubs is funny....McManus sure would have helped...but instead of 199 yards...we might have put up 160
