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.

Cody Fajardo was the MOP/MVP of the Grey Cup game we just played in. Let that sink in for the next 5 months....

Mike O’Shea and Zach Collaros just lost a Grey Cup game to Jason Maas and Cody Fajardo. Jesus Murphy.

I will never ever get over this......

I know it hurts. I feel gutted.

I'm sorry it didn't happen for us tonight Bomber fans, but let's hold our heads high.

Nope...there were 46 guys out there that didn't play good enough.

No one on this forum has defended MOS as much as I have this year. Bighill and Schoen should not have been out there tonight. Bullshit call by MOS. It didn't cost us the game...but it didn't help. So heartbroken right now....

Noeller they weren't ready to go

As a fan no, I won’t either. 
On a human level I’ve learned to compartmentalize. It’s not easy sometimes. 

Someday when I’m not so angry at the Bombers I’ll write about how they drove the car of my mental health in my younger years. 

OUr defence tonight

Oh for sure. It’s just such a shock to lose a GC to a team led by those two. 
Of all the scenarios…jfc…

I think it speaks to the "player's coach" mentality.  But also speaks to do your damn job the same way you're asking the 12 guys lined up on the field to.  Sometimes that entails a tough conversation with a guy who has given you everything he's got.  Goal is a win for the team.  Doesn't matter who's out there for it.  You can't always preach the "0-0" this week, "next man up" stuff and then be that weak in terms of doing your job to have a team ready to play in a game like this.

The only thing that's worse is if they were with Sask at the time. And I can't even with that thought right now. As it is, it's too much.

Yep. Sometimes you gotta sit guys down for the good of the team.

This game was Ottawa. And Labour Day. And last year's Grey Cup. And truly, 2021, but for a Nichols miracle on the goal line. This feels to me like who they are. You saw it all year, and I should be mad right now but it was...expected.

Yep 💯 Biggie was a step behind all night and Schoen a non factor

Sorry. 

Ok everyone. The world is over. The. Bombers suck. Suicide for all.

 

...better? 

Zero pressure on a guy that was sacked all year

I was depressed for like 2 weeks last year. No word of a lie. This year, oddly, nothing.

I just watched MOS pos-game newser. That was pathetic. I know the players seem to love him but man, he is so stubborn. Asked if Bighill and Schoen were actually ready to play he said: "You gotta give the players a chance to be great - they can't do that on the bench." But they were hurt. And allowing them to play actually hurt the team. What kind of thick head couldn't see that?

Cody. Fajardo. ............

 

 

@Booch I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like being right about the roster. This sucks.

Put another way...what does that say to the guy who'd be playing in that spot?

You can't do the "every guy on this roster is gonna need to play" **** and then throw guys who are so obviously incapable of playing a CFL game today on the field.

Well said, and I'm in Osheas corner. You're right
