I would be nervous about the Stamps blasting anyone at this point, especially a decent team like the Esks. Don't wake the beast.

I tend to agree and think this an absolute must win. Really do not want to go into Calgary and need the win. Even if Calgary rests their entire team we never seem to have much luck in Cowtown.

At this point we have one "must win" game: and that's not for another 3 weeks. Edited October 27, 2017 by Judd MC, TBURGESS and SPuDS 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tomorrow's game is a must-win for the Bombers, as they need to bounce back from last week's loss and close out the home schedule on a high note, as well as secure that home playoff game (I'd rather not see them get that game by having to rely on an opponent losing). It's also a should-win simply based on the opponent: the Lions are licking their wounds and are now only playing for pride and evaluation for next season. While the Bombers can't take them lightly, they should be able to take full advantage of a team in 2018 Mode and take care of their own business on home turf. Also, I think it goes without saying that a playoff game is a must-win for the Bombers. That's the next step in moving forward for the current regime. shadybob, bustamente and Fatty Liver 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnzo Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) I'll be sad to see Wally go. He's like Don Matthews, a CFL legend, and he kept half the league supplied with quarterbacks during the late nineties / early oughts. 20 playoff years in 22 years plus more Grey Cups on his resume than the entire Saskatchewan franchise. To top it off, open-heart surgery in the middle of it all. As a fan of the Bombers I was intensely jealous of his success, as a fan of the league I thought he made it better. If he does step aside, then congrats to him on an amazing career and a well-deserved retirement.

There is always next year and then the year after that - ad Nauseam! For me I am drawing the line in the sand. This IMHO is a "Must Win Game" for all the reasons others have posted. Maybe we should think of it as an "Aw Sucks Game - Kinda of nice to win - sorta of would be nice! Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one big difference between Wally and the Don is that everybody who knew and knows him speaks highly of him as a person. A great human being as well as a legend. I thought he played the game and coached the game the right away throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews was a great coach and completely changed the way defense was played for two decades, but that is where the admiration stops.

Pressures have been really low (lowest or among lowest in the league?) and that's all that really matters. I don't think Nichols has a career game, because he's missing too many pieces, but he'll do what he does and basically will the team to a win as much as he can...

The most obvious one is must-win to make the playoffs which is not the case this time obviously. You could make a case that it's must-win to ensure we secure the 12th win and thereby get a little extra time to prepare for the playoffs. But of course if Calgary whoops Edmonton tonight, it's all settled anyway. I think the most important thing is that it's must-win for the sake of making sure our playoff entrance isn't made 100℅ just on backing in. Have a little confidence so we can come out swinging against the Ridirts or Eskos and bury them. Edited October 28, 2017 by USABomberfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more that team can trend down until the West final - the better. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Likely win... Should win... Sure. Must win, not even close. This game may or may not mean anything at all in the standings depending on if Edmonton can beat Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Should the Bombers blow this one, it's all downhill from there. How many teams have gone into playoffs on a losing note and then suddenly got it together to go on and do well? There are rare examples, but not many.

My point on this being a "Must Win Game" is not related to standings etc. I understand full well that the Bombers can lose today - lose in Calgary etc. and regardless of what happens elsewhere will be in a play off game. My thoughts on why IMHO it is a must win game is more related to confidence and setting the table for success in the playoffs. There comes a time when you just have to stand up and take a stand. Backing into the playoffs is not taking a positive approach. Time to man up - get the win and set the table for a positive run in the playoffs.
