17to85 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 6 minutes ago, johnzo said: thinking more about the D -- last game with Schoen out we had to "start" just one Canadian on D and we could freely sub American linebackers in for our Canadian DL. If Schoen does play today and we have to start two Canadians on D, are we still going to run those three-man fronts, since we'll need a Canadian DL on the field at all times? I think I saw Lawson line up at NT a few times against BC... We started like 9 Canadians last week did we not? Even with schoen should still have plenty to take a DL off. 3 ol, 1 rb, 2 receivers, 1 lb and 1 dl. So yeah be 8 that I count. No worries with the rotations.

captaincanuck12 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Bundle of nerves again for today. Slowly counting the hours till kickoff. A bomber W is what I am expecting.

And you'll be fetching things for your wife. From experience when I went thru the stage you're at, the game will be secondary. May gawd have mercy on your soul. Kidding, all good, enjoy these times.

wbbfan Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I’d love to see one of those games where Zach and the offence march down field and score a major on every drive till pulling the starters and chilling heels. time to rebrand hortons field as IGF East. Keys to the game, defense play fajardo like vaj last week and like we always play fajardo especially in the play offs, score touch downs mtl can’t survive a slug fest with out offence, and feed the beast run Brady run.

Since we had kids the Bombers have been great. I’m used to watching with them all over me. Seems to be the more they distract me the better the Blue do. Little good luck charms!

The beer fridge is stocked with virtually all Manitoba beers that somehow made their way from MB to AB last weekend and bottles of Parkland-area home brew and some Gimli-made CR on the bar. Wife found some Old Dutch BBQ chips, in the cardboard box, just to THE Manitoba-ness of it all. Let's ******* go, fellas......... let's. *******. GOOOOOOOO!! *edit* Yeah, those photos suck.... sorry fellas. Gonna work on that... I wasn't aware the site had shirts..

I'll move to whiskey a bit later, but Winnipeg beer to fire up the game day, always... And a "**** The ______" (whoever the opponent is) toast. Doing our part to bring the good juju so far....

Love me a good stout. Calgary has started to bring in lots of Canadian brews from all over, I’ll have to take a look. It’ll be spiced rum and ginger for myself. With a variety of appetizers.

WinnipegGordo Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I think this game will prove that Hall and Pierce are the best coordinators in the league. Montreal will not be ready for what Winnipeg will throw at them. I just hope that they dont do anything unnecessary/ risky like Prukop' int last year. ddanger, rebusrankin, GCJenks and 4 others 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also Bumbu which is kind of a banana flavour, but I can drink it straight on the rocks, which I can’t with CM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
