1 the front 6  about a zillion sacks forced fumbles and knock downs 

2 the ol clean game for Zach big gaps for Brady early 

3 Brady carried the o in the first half 

hh lawler had a few big catches but the pi flag was a game sealer  

crunch of the game about 18 different hits on vaj 

block of the game woli on Demskis screen play where he faked going out of bounds 

For those wondering, 9 team sacks ties a CFL playoff record, the record overall (including regular season games) is 13. Though team sacks as a statistic have only been tracked by the CFL since 1978.

I bet they add another rush end if Bighill is down so in some weird way we probably have a better mix in the front 7.

Finishing with Habba on the active roster instead of the pr would let us retain his rights too. Man having him rotate would be huge. Fox would be a big win too. 

yeah my thoughts at Haba goes in without Bighill. 

Honestly I'm not really worried about missing Bighill. Clements and Cole are doing well out there and Bighill is showing his age.

Haba and Fox arent on the practice roster, they are stashed on the 1 game.

Haba would be nice… I’m thinking Rose will check in for Biggie... but I guess in terms of opponent, more D-line might be the better strategic play

If he is out...which is likely...we likely dress Fox....as to really swallow up the Faj

Our 3 backer wilson...cole and clements were lights out...fast...active....I have no worries whatsoever there...Biggie is a big loss, but we have the guys to hold it down...and as we saw...dominate....MTL is not even close to as good an offence to what BC is......so we play like we did...I see a very good day on Sunday

Cole. Clements, Wilson, Gauthier all played well. As Jefferson said on CJOB, Biggie has coached those guys up well.

3. The IGF SOLD OUT CROWD.  It was deafening in there.

Perhaps it's recency bias, the free clappers, or sitting in a different section (I was in accessible seating in the end zone), but that was the loudest atmosphere from start to finish that I can remember.

In my mind Banjo Bowl this year was louder. I think the cold air burns out some voices faster, mine was giving out last night and the single sided clapper wasn’t much help (damn non cold resistant plastic).

Fajardo’s only hope is to run around a bunch. More Dline depth Is the way. 

Brady O........just a great performance in the first half that set the tone...just a talented beast out there

D L ine for sure........they all stepped up and did what you have to do to beat the leo's....sack the hell out of Vaj

Lawler.........unbelievable catches .....he's like Houdini for some of them... they had no answer for Kenny

And force him to throw his 40 yard sideline ducks to serve up puck six’s please.

1. Brady. Hands down the MOC and should be the MOP even though it will probably go to Kelly who doesn't deserve it.

2. D line. Stayed in their lanes and VAJ had no where to go. Outstanding game.

3. Hallet for the blocked punt, and an honourable mention to whoever kept him upright long enough for the boys to rugby scrum him over the goal line.

HH#1 The sold out crowd was amazing and was loud and proud all game.

HH#2 Eli's dad for the onfield haka after the game. Think I watched it 20 times at least.

That Haka was great...maybe they do a team one to pump up the boys

Ha yeah those clappers broke as fast as the BC offensive line

HH to TSN for the great shots of VAJ alone on the field visualizing himself getting pancaked 10 times before the game. Mental reps ForTheW!

Kudos to the Bomber marketing team having a sign on the jumbotron:

"The BC lions have requested silence while on offense, please respond accordingly" or something to that effect

I recall the Bombers in a playoff game in the early 90s - sacking Damon Allen (Ticats) 9 times.

I really wonder what happened in that second half that caused our production to crash either way who gives a **** back to the Cup baby

BC was stacking the box and our passing game was jacked up with all the injuries and Woli playing out of position.  I dunno if Buck was play calling to feed Lawler or if Collaros was ignoring everyone else but our passing game just didn't look right.  Was watching Woli waggle and he wasn't hitting the line like a regular CFL slotback would.

Last regular season game when BC stacked the box we killed them with Brady in the flats .... wonder why that wasn't available last night. I kinda wonder if Brady got nicked up ... was weird to see Augustine getting carries in a game that wasn't decided yet ... totally not the Bombers style to sub out the top talent unless it's Prukop coming in....

JA took a few 1st down snaps an BO came right back in...I dont think it was an injury issue

Part of the weird passing I think too was that we didn't use any jet sweep action or receiver motion out of backfield for carries or fake carries to open up the BC defence...was it to preserve Bailey and Demski from any unnecessary extra hits...so they be even healthier if we moved on?? I thinking so

Also ZC I think at times tends to get tunnel vision and focus too much on one guy...there were several occasions BOLO was free and clear and he just didn't even bother to toss to him...one instance that sticks out was that one scramble I think where he slid just shy of the l.o.s...BOLO was wide open in the middle and could have walked in if ZC had looked there

interesting play at 11:40 of the third -- a run by Oliveira against a 7-man front.  Faked a direct snap sweep to Demski that didn't fool the Lions one bit.  No respect for the fake, I think they weren't super concerned about Demski last night.

Friends offered the Theory that Brady was bagged, exhausted, but not injured, after the first half. End of game he had 21 carries, 3 targets, 2 receptions, 124 total yards, mostly in the first half, aàplus the blocking assignments, guy was a one man army. 
 

and that Prukop shot gun snap play at the 3 was…stupid.
