If the Als D doesn't score any points today...the Argos mostly like win the game.

ZC & Co. - take note of this fact.

That Als D worries me. But if we impose our will up front early on ,like yesterday ,we should be fine. That No.24 would look darn good in a Blue uni.

The Als should be worried about our D!

I wonder what the team record for sacks in the Grey Cup currently stands at. I know the individual record is 5.

If our DL plays like they did last night, Cody (despite being a legendary warrior, playing with a bad knee, shoulder, no brain, etc) won't last the first half.

I personally am cheering for the Bombers, simply because if Fajardo wins, all he’ll say is “Well the haters this, doubters that, everyone gave up on me, etc.” and I just cannot see that happen.

I'd be shocked if schoen is back but at the same time... it wouldn't surprise me. The way woli spoke a couple weeks back made me feel schoen was done for the year

Schoen is going to play. I think he has one game left in him before that ankle goes and he was saving it for the Cup.

Hope so

I have to imagine that Fajardo is going to be throwing a lot of screens and swing passes against us. I think Parker and Houston are up to the challenge.

Id rather have Rose in if that the case...as he comes up and makes the tackles....Houston dives at guys and hopes he trips them up for the most part....or will get burned biting on a fake

Would be a massive mistake on their part, but I really see no path for them offensively unless Stanback can roll back the clock.

Als were all over the Eastern trophy. They are toast next week

I am so superstitious.... And I love that our OL/DL guys police the situation and make sure NOBODY touches the trophy that doesn't matter..

All the wanna be stars TSN wanted to promote and make happen wilted...The Chad...Howdy Doody Betts....the Amazing Big Play VA...The Andrew Harris factor...Historic Season Good Ship Argo...all went right down the crapper

And the washed up for 3 years running Bombers just keep on doing their thing.

So did @DTonOB take home the Western Finals Trophy? I know Willie told him he could have it.

Fajardo was still sacked 7 times yesterday. Montreals oline is not good.

Agreed. The Toronto D deserved better - played a strong game.

Votes were submitted earlier this week so the decision has already been made.  Technically, the playoffs aren't supposed to dictate the winners of the awards, but I think we were shown who the true MOP is in the division finals.

So Kelly will win ... maybe they will have to revise their methods

I expect they probably sub Rose for Biggie but maybe they add a Yankee receiver

When was the last the Blue had 10 sacks in a game?

17to85 have been talking **** for awhile now about "can you even imagine our D getting to play Faj in a GC game?? Willie is gonna be walking around with a full rager just thinking about it..." But man, I hope that's not inviting bad karma....

I'm really hoping they add Garbutt or Haba in place of Bighill.

Maas will never stick with the run so having Jeffcoat out there 2/3 to 3/4 of the snaps as fresh as he can be and the young rushers teeing off when he's not out there would be pretty impactful.

Keep running that look with 3 WIL/MLB type guys out there, 6 DB's almost every down unless it's like 2nd and 15, Walker out there 3/4 of the time with Lawson in for the rest.

Let Hansen focus on special teams and you have him if you need him.  Cover teams will be huge though so save up that energy.

I guess see where the receivers are but might be a good idea to pop McCrae off and add Rose whether he plays corner or maybe his role in this game is to dominate on kick cover.

The footing seemed ok but probably not the best

Although VA got around ok his ankle was still a factor ... psychologically or physically or both ... I do not know

Was he planting his feet well for his longer passes?

More importantly he has been like a greased pig all  year driving Ds crazy ... we saw none of that yesterday, not once did get away for a real running gain... our D is good but not that good for a totally healthy Adams ... did he even squeeze out of the pocket once? Its sorta a little like ZC in last year's cup ... just not at peak performance because of the wheels

I expect MOS & Ritchie's decisions on Biggie's replacement will be best ... they keep inserting players that  they are familiar with & likewise their team mates .... lesser players are more because of greater harmony ... it might why MOS has stuck with Jackson ... he has knowledge of where ZC will be ... a newbie at the FB position might not as much ... and we don't know what effect Jackson's indominable spirit might spread to the people beside him ... he might be the least talented player on the field but it is just possible that Michael O'Shea might know what he is doing ... maybe its NOT a blind spot

Where's my boy @kelownabomberfan at

 

We have to start a MBB internet fight, piss off @Rich to the point he cant see straight and then get suspended for two weeks from these forums. That was the key to the 2019 GC victory. 2022, KBF and I were on good terms, no temp bannings and we saw the outcome.
