They did get the Saturday playoff games right. There was a massive increase in TV viewers.

I obviously I don't read everything here but no where to date have I read posts indicating the need to fire MOS, he's the worst, we need new leadership etc etc. If by turning on him you mean providing critique on some of his moves and/or approaches, you and I have a much different definition of what it means to turn on someone.

https://x.com/Dave_CHED/status/172446273349054 9016?s=20like really??...bout time.....how hard is that to accomplish....and now we wont see historic season's being built on beating up on 2 of the lousier teams 7 times in a season...basically half your schedule

I feel bad for JBR because he's never said any of this but Noeller has been running with it like as if he chiseled it on stone tablets.

and way better freezing compounds and pain "limiters" 😉 I saw Schoen walking about as well...sans a boot.....

I can't watch a Bombers' Grey Cup with casuals. I would lose my mind.

Classic MOS, favouring the aging veteran over new talent.

NWA? Oh wow a fellow wrestling fan!

I was coached and taught, and bring this to the young men I interact with now that you're a football player, and you make football plays when they need to be.....regardless of position

I suspect that the only answer we would get is that they are focused on the Grey Cup and that they will sit down and talk once the season is over... pretty much the same as they did with O'Shea last year.

My daughter has been coming with me to football games since she was 18 months old. She's 17 now. When she was about 4 years old there was a game against Calgary in the old stadium (we sat about 20 rows up from visitor bench on the 55) where she stood up on her seat and started screaming at the top of her little lungs, "BOO CALGARY! BOO! YOU SUCK!" Was hilarious and the older season ticket holders that sat around us just killed themselves laughing. Needless to say .. she's a Bomber fan.

My Grey cup parties usually involve cocaine and whiskey but this year tho it's just gonna be and my youngster so nachos and wings probably. Ps: for some reason coke auto corrected to cocaine Damn cocaine bear

Just treat the game as a business trip then celebrate after.

only reason is an issue most not privy to or aware of...thats caused friction...all I will say as to not get attacked again by the blue google people

why is media so focused on Als 7 game win streak...and no mention of our 5 game streak...against better teams...teams with over 500 records???.....TSN is so narrow minded and intent on trying to create a story/theme

MOS also doesnt hire GM's....But hopefully he has some good vibes he see's that leads to the re-sign...hate to lose Kyle...he been uber important as players and Agents trust him

https://3downnation.com/2023/11/14/mike-oshea-expects-kyle-walters-to-return-as-winnipeg-blue-bombers-gm-in-2024/ Guess MOS hasn’t heard the rumours.

they likely knew he wasnt gonna be getting it...thats why I miffed we dressed Mcrae...who could have filled that role...and taken the ball to allow room for Brady....and I dont think he even took his jacket off...so why was he even dressed if obviously they must have figured he wasnt good to go....another questionable roster decision in a big game An Ambles would surely have garnered attention and made plays...he's played on the big stage before...or a Fox or a Rose for extra DB/DL depth...As soon as I saw him bundled up in the big coat I knew it was a wasted roster spot that game...and frankly wasnt shocked about it

Sir I would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention just for SpeedFlex27, Ambrosie intends to hang on as CFL Commissioner at least until after you're dead.

The funny thing is Richie Hall is also getting in that territory from a Coordinator standpoint. It is going to be his 7th trip as a DC and DB coach and eight overall.

Self imposed hard mode is just dumb. This team would’ve been much better this year with sensible roster use. Not even creative or daring. Just sensible. Saturday games are great. I really like Friday games too. Don’t like Sunday unless it’s a long weekend. With this I prefer quality of life to tradition tbh.

Here's my 2 platforms if I ran for Prime Minister of this great country. (1) Monday to be a national holiday after every Sunday GC. (2) Three day work week, paid for five. What's my position on Crime, Health, Housing etc? See platforms (1) and (2) above.

Winnipeg will be playing in their 28th Grey Cup including the 1935 'Pegs victory. Playoff keys to reaching the 2023 title game:  The Blue Bombers come in riding a 5-game win streak. Longest winning run among their 4 straight appearances. (It is their longest win streak going into a Grey Cup game since 1993 at 7 in a row)  In the W.Final: Winnipeg held BC to just 189 total yards - the fewest allowed by a West Div. winner since 2007 (SSK v BC)  Did not allow BC to reach the Red Zone at any time and run any play closer than the WPG 35-yard line.  Winnipeg forced 5 BC T/Os which led to 13 of their 24 points (54%) including a blocked punt TD  The 9 Sacks recorded by the Bombers tied the CFL A/T Playoff record (Hamilton 1985, Winnipeg 1992).  Sacked Adams Jr. on 8 of BC's 13 possessions (forcing a kick or T/O on all 8); 6 Two-&-Outs  Generated 21 first downs on just 52 offensive plays - converted 63% of their 2nd Down Conversions (BC: 4-of-17 24%)  Passes Stretch the Field: Of their 21 total attempts, 7 were at a depth of 15 yards or more downfield 0-9 Yd Depth: 10-of-13 77% 10-19 Yd Depth: 3-of-3 100% 20+ Yd Depth: 1-of-5 20%  Brady Oliveira reached 100+ before half (14/101 yds, 7.2 avg). In the 2nd Half: 8 yards on 7 attempts (1.1 yd avg)  They rushed for 121 yards (fewest since Sep 16th) - 1st Half: 16 for 105, 6.6 avg 1st Half: 11 for 16, 1.5 avg  Their TD on a blocked punt was the first in a playoff game since 2008 (Edmonton, Justin Cooper)  The Bombers intercepted Vernon Adams Jr. 3 times after making none against him regular season (in 62 pass attempts)  Kenny Lawler accounted for more than half of Winnipeg's receiving with 83 yards on 6 catches (among 14 total)  Were led by an Offensive Line with 47 combined career playoff games started (35 playoff, 12 GC)  Survived 2 missed FGs in 5 attempts vs BC without a long return https://d3ham790trbkqy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2023-GN-Gm-95-Grey-Cup-Preview-1.pdf

As someone who loves watching the NFL, the Saturday games were a godsend. I’m happy they’re keeping the Grey Cup on Sunday for the tradition of it all.

Joe lobendahn approved.

Yeah. They had a knife fight on Garret Marinos front lawn on Thanksgiving. Trevis Smith brought the chicks.

******* 2001... ******* 2007... ******* 2011... ******* 2022... The wife asked a couple weeks ago "are you going to olds to watch if the Bombers are in the Grey Cup?" I says **** no, they lost last year.

Yeah, autocorrect.

don't ever ever ever get married and have kids....... I have never seen any good from this happening ever...

There was one throw like that to BOLO where Suitor pointed out how Collaros paused to reset his body before throwing back into the middle, which he said made the throw a lot crisper and less risky. The throw that I do not want to see again is the wide out throw to the field side wide receiver standing flatfooted at the LOS. As soon as ZC threw that I was like "oh **** pick 6". It really hung up there for awhile and the DB had hours to make a play on it. BOLO made the catch for like a yard and then got buried. Damn that is a low-reward high-risk pass to throw and it happened fast enough so that it looked like ZC's first read. That needs to go in the bin with the blind handoffs and the Prukop shotgun. remember those blind handoffs in the first Hamilton game? Buck was into the lapo mad scientist juice there. (standard disclaimer: I know nothing about coaching a passing attack) all the best for speedy recoveries to those guys. I can't imagine how much that sucks.

that one play where Willie was clearly playing to contain and then wound up getting the sack anyway when VAJ got flushed -- that play started with #69 getting pancaked on what looked like a patty-cake shove from WJ5. Good thing for him there won't be film study of that game! (of course what looks like a patty-cake shove from WJ would probably put me through the wall, but 69 did not look as steady on his feet as an offensive tackle should, is what I'm sayin)

My next door neighbours are casuals, but they are truly hilarious people who also know when to be hilarious. They've already been invited.

Just bring the kids into the fold and indoctrinate them into the Bomber culture and it gets a lot easier. My 9 year daughter started a BC Sucks chant last game... I am so proud of her.

If it was just me and my friends, it would be great. Unfortunately, we all had to go out and get married and have kids and it just ruins the whole thing.

believe McCinnis and Lucky were both trailers and i think Cottoy was on backside. Also like mentioned I think on broadcast...we effed up allowing The Vaj to roll to his strong side....big miscue by us

the only thing I've ever said is I trust JBR.... and continue to do so. While the specific "Walters to Ham" might be "speculation" on his part, I fully believe JBR when he says Walters needs out for family reasons (and being wildly overworked), and that Hamilton is going to have a lot of turnover in their front office this offseason.

Because a 5 game win streak is kind of the norm for the Bombers?

I've heard rumblings of what you are referring to, but I have it on good authority that this rumor does not have much legs or has been way overstated by some at the very least. Heard that a few people who started circulating this rumor did so with an agenda in mind. I heard this from someone with a front row seat to all of this.

I agree....and I think that MOS is truly not interested in the GM role as he alluded to, but MOS would never be forthcoming with any information he had on Walters staying or departing right now. It's GC week and he will be putting out these little rumor mills all week so that the focus is on football only. I believe Walters will stay though.

Then Brady will copy Andrew Harris' acceptance speech - All the haters out there that talked (expletive) , this is for you!”

At the bare minimum, I would expect Zach to employ the patented Bob Cameron road bump method....

it wasn't just our passing game that suffered -- BC had zero respect for any sweep motion from Demski. We ran that a few times with Demski going horizontal and Brady between the tackles and Brady got swamped by bodies each time, BC was really keying on him and ignoring any other run looks from us. We're so lucky that Lawler is a freak who can solo an entire passing attack.

And Jerome Messam filmed it all.

I have a feeling that we win, and, big. This game will be over by half. I really hope this isn't bad juju but this team should explode in the cup.

Just finished, and I legit forgot Betts was even a thing by the end. Complete non factor.
