Well, 2;45 am on Sunday & no one has started the Grey Cup Game Day Thread so it might as well be me. Let's Go Bombers. Lucky #13.

Feeling a tad nervous about later today but I think we'll come through. I don't want to even make Cody Fajardo jokes as we all know this is a winner takes all one game championship so anything (good or bad) can happen. We all saw what happened last week & what occurred in 2001 so we'll have to play our best. If we play our game, we'll win. Not be overconfident or cocky. We're the better team so just take care of business & then we'll be Grey Cup champions.

I would not have guessed Fajardo could outplay Zach.. But here we are....

 

Sucks...but we are a really good team...Mtrl just hit harder..ran faster...and today was more physical...congrats Mtrl...

Brutal way to lose once again but let's face the Bombers didn't so up in the 2nd half and deserved the lose

Defence let us down.  Too many big plays given up.  Collaros tossing that EZ INT didn’t help either.

That was the turning point of the game. We did sweet **** all afterward.

Lots of guys playing hurt. And that hurt the team. I blame the coach for that. Also, I wish I had more confidence that the current brain trust could see that Dru Brown needs to stay a Bomber, surely the brain trust can see that. I expect to see some retirements in the off season too. On the O line, the D line and MLB

Other than Thomas...nobody needs to retire on dline...we just need to roster some more depth to it

Get rid of collaros

Agreed 100%. He’s **** the bed in every playoff/cup game post 2019. 
Half a million dollars a year to get outplayed by Cody ******* Fajardo. I’m done. 

Rebuilds in the CFL are really just reloads. A few spots aging out and heirs stepping in, we aren't just going away.

Oh **** off with Shawn Lemon.

That made absolutely no difference.  We ended up with the ball in almost the exact same spot off the punt.

Maybe but still confused why as he had no idea we would eventually get the ball back after a shitty kick on their part.

The silver lining in this is that the Rough Riders and their fans have to watch Fajardo lift the cup

The sourest grapes, but roster management (and poor QB play) totally ****** the team tonight

All we needed was one sustained drive in the last 3 minutes.  Instead we go to and out. Zach takes a sack and that's too much time given to the Al's.  This is f****** embarrassing.  I'm going to be irate for days.

My thoughts exactly. And with that mustache too

The OL is okay. Some changes need to be made but if there are mass retirements on the line most should come back.

5 yards from dynasty. Too bad. Sports is rough sometimes.

1 point  in 22 5 yards in 23. 
 Doesn’t matter if you miss by an inch or a mile. 
 

time for serious change.

Too old at tackle though. They get beat more and more by speed every year in pass pro. Kola needs to back up and Eli start. Maybe hardrick to guard. 

Faj...roasted us. 

Cody Fajardo is a Grey Cup champ because of the Bombers. I will never recover from this.

Awful. Zach collaros played like Cody. 

I was calm until the last 4 minutes of this game. My dog had to go to her safe place. So maddening how it played out the last few minutes.

Drop Zac. Pay Drew.

Yes you will.

The o play calling was crap also 

The d play calling was also crap 

Our sp teams coach telling our punter to do the dumb kicks, it's just 

All around, we lost 

We dressed a guy who shouldn't have dressed (biggie) probably another that shouldn't have (schoen) and Jackson who looks like a good blocker but honestly can't the 2 extra ol do the same? 

Short handed this game. 

Roster management cost us today 

Zach isn't a good playoff qb, he's just not but BO also had a bad fumble, Zach had the forcing it to Lawler pick. Both cost us. Brady ran hard tho. Zach? I'd move on.

We really need a new punter as well.....

Bombers have a big decision they are going to lose Dru Brown to FA and Collaros in the playoffs is a hit and miss.

Ah... its ok to eat **** as long as they are bothered by the smell?

No more Australian punters.
