Since the cup will be in Hamilton, I believe the Argos will not be attending. I present my sore winner comment of the day.

Can't find the quote but this week he said he was definitely done in Toronto and was hoping to wrap up his career with another grey cup. The way he phrased it made me wonder if he wasn't leaving the door open for a team (BC probably) to bring him in next year. The way BC employs the run game, it might actually be a good fit. Minimal wear and tear on a running back in that offence. He put up a picture after the game with his cleats hung up in his locker.

I get that but that's also right after a huge loss so there's some emotion involved. Fwiw, I do think he's calling it a career but his pre-game comments make me think there's still a chance he comes back. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal wear and tear on a running back in that offence. Does BC want to go even more toward never running the ball? I think Harris' roll with the Argos is just about perfect for him.

Buck needs to have some tricks up his sleeve. Hopefully he opens up the playbook. Conversely our D has absolutely feasted on the als offense... like to the tune of giving up 3 points in each game... and in the most recent one where collaros threw the 2 pick sixes the Bombers still dropped over 40 points on them.

martypants100 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 In two games we scored 67 points and they only sacked us three times. I think we'll do pretty well against their D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes to show how difficult it is to do what we have done the last five years (yes I am including the 2018 West Final loss because other people seem to forget it). The last few years we have wrapped up first with weeks to go and still got to the Cup. If we had a 2020 season we would probably be talking about our 6th straight West Final and our 5th straight Grey Cup. ddanger, BigBlueFanatic, Bigblue204 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I will not invite bad juju onto this team by suggesting this will be an easy win - it won't be. Noel Thorpe has that defence playing at an extremely high level and, as many have already noted, playing at this time of year is all about momentum and confidence. Montreal has that in spades coming off their win in Toronto. I think this game is going to be closer than people think. Likely low(er) scoring. It's going to be about which offence protects the ball (or conversely, which team capitalizes on offensive miscues). kelownabomberfan, JCon, ddanger and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 We are just going to win. I don’t care about all the other bullshit that goes with it. At the end of the day we will be raising the Cup. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand1.5 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Haven't players learnt by now to say generalities with the media! We are good...but the opponent is a great team...blah blah.....why do they say silly things like we will win etc. you know that's what media will focus on and it is not a good look IMO.. O-well early press clippings for us I guess. With our group, hopefully the leadership and the been there done that maturity avoids silly comments like that. Look Mtrls defence has been playing really well and they played lights out unbelievable last week...but did anyone watch VAJ tear apart the Cal. defence the previous week, he put up one of the best QB playoff performances ever, and then he played us and well looked totally different.....Did he forget how to play....no we just have the experience and the guys to execute.... While I expect Mtrl's defence to make some plays against us as did VAJ on occasion, we are so well coached and experienced I simply do not see their defence being as dominate..... Zach has far more experience than Chad and Zach has seen and given up pick sixes to Mtrl....he should be well prepared, and I would expect a lot smarter than Chad on his throws.... I don't expect us to have it easy, but with our experience I believe we should be the favorites....GO BLUE ddanger and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
