Let the media again stress this superior defense we have to over come Argo's gave up 2nd most passing yards at 5342...we gave up least at 4227 Argos had 2nd worst QB rating at 105.5%...we had best at 86.9% Argo's gave up 2nd most passing TD's at 31...we gave up seconf fewest at 20 Argo's gave up second worst completion percentage at 70.8%....we had best at 60.9% Argo's gave up 50 offensive TD's...we gave up 33 Argo's give up on avg 6.8 yards on 1st down...we give up 6.0 Argos gave up 6514 net yards of offence....we gave up 5915 We gave up 1876 rush yards to the Argos's 1532 we got 26 sacks to the Argos' 48 Now based on on all that, who would you think is facing the tougher defensive test??? With their back-up to boot? We keep ZC clean....time to throw, and the Argo defense guessing.....I can see this being over early if prime time ZC show's up...and based on vibe and what I seen of late...I can't see why he won't....and oh yeah...We still have BO to throw at them

Toronto has five Arby's locations while Winnipeg has none. Janarion stated explicitly that he does not like Arby's but it certainly makes you think, doesn't it?

Without BO on the field for us all yr...we aren't here in Vancouver right now....If we lost Ford for a stretch...we likely are...No knock on Ford but in the totality of the season...BO was our and the league MOP....He was last yr too and got robbed...Hoefully he gets his due this yr with both awards.....another ring and a second MOC in Grey Cup....He is in the early stages of a generational all time great Canadian...heck RB in the CFL....Enjoy it people

Nye picked against us last week. I consider this a great sign.

This Bomber team just has a different vibe this year... all the crap they've gone through this year I think has made them far more focused.

and also they effed up in the pick 6 PI non call too....which caused a T.O win Sure we lost 2 to the Argo's this yr and people making a lot of it....but really....we got jobbed in the one, and the other as well....could went either way...If the team we seen the last part of season shows up, and one last week....it may be over early

Arbuckle has won games in the CFL before and Toronto is a damn good team. I am not expecting an easy matchup by any stretch.

Two things I would be loading up for this game… On O, run a lot of zone read and have Collaros pull the ball. There’s no tomorrow and nobody expects him to run. Extend it to RPO too with some verticals on the backside he can hit if he has time to set his feet. There’s a couple big plays in that and if you hit them the Argos D will have to adjust and slow down their pass rush. On D, zone blitzes, specifically that dog look where Jefferson/Garbutt drop into the area Kramdi, Cole or Grffin vacate when they blitz. Arbuckle is going to be running a pretty simple vertical/between the hashes game in terms of downfield passes. Bait him into mistakes or to hold the ball.

That run of Wilson's was fantastic. I don't think it showed it very well on TV, but he could have eased out of bounds about 10 yards before he finally went out, but instead he turned up the sideline and risked getting hit. Then, you add the penalty. What a play.

Yet still the best broadcast Suitor ever did?

I like our halfbacks. Ento at corner. if you were trying to build the best secondary out of all the players in the league it’s probably all Bombers and Als.

Only be one guy talking as Suitor and Nye would have mouthfuls of each-other.

The best part was when he says “another factor in Janarion going to Toronto was Pete Constanza and also Janarion is from New Jersey but that had nothing to do with his choice” like .. what??

Voldemort?

The league is lucky that Chud is not in the game or they would have to spend the entire week explaining why he's still in the league. Of course, they should be asking why Pinball and Murphy are allowed to collect a paycheque but there are no real reporters in Vancouver.

I started my rewatch of the 84, 88, 90, 19, 21 GCs tonight... Thank goodness for YT...

As to Oliviera vs Milligan, in the biggest game of the year so far, Oliviera blossomed and Milligan choked. End of story.

The awards system can have flaws and the 3downnation picks can be garbage at the same time.

In Nyes world up is down! Black is white! Cousins are wives! Toothbrushes are for show!

Writing skills even in real media are on a downward trend and it's only going to get worse with ai.

Jesus, this Janarion article by Hodge is just absolutely horrible writing. https://3downnation.com/2024/11/13/why-janarion-grant-didnt-return-to-the-winnipeg-blue-bombers/ Absolute verbal diarrhea

The easiest thing for a QB to beat is straight up pressure. I think you'll see more of the approach they used against Rourke. Move him off first read and force him to eat the ball or turn it over.

The Argos secondary is as suspect as the riders imo. How many yards did they give up in the semi? over 400 i think. As long as Collaros gets time the offense should be just fine.

The league later admitted to OShea that the officials should have called a delay of game penalty on the Argos.

The league actually put up a HUGE chunk of old Grey Cups as part of... Grey Cup 110?... just have to sign up for CFL Plus https://www.cfl.ca/grey-cup-on-demand-list/ So at the end of the 3rd quarter, when KSB had that catch that was ruled no catch, and Mace tried to challenge it but was told it was already confirmed, the sideline mics picked up O'Shea referencing 'the ******* timeouts you let ******* toronto have'... anyone have any more context on that?

They spatted him up and he was back in like 2..3 plays after he was hurt..he will be fine

I’m also looking so forward to hearing the chatter about the love for Chad Kelly and how the team is rallying around him. That should be fun. We know TSN’s tag line is anybody but the Blue Bombers so all I ask while they drone on about the Argoblows in the broadcast booth is in the background where the game is being played we are stomping them early, hard and often.

facts smacts!! lol

Stop with the facts, Booch. The CFL has the worst media in sports.

Love how they ...the media is already in the early stages of the Arbuckle to glory story line....How Dinwiddies flop in 2007 is gonna allow him to show Arbuckle the way...another storyline we get to piss all over Gonna make Suitor have to fall back on how BO presses the line....look for his hole....all thanks to Andrew Harris....thank god he tutored him for a couPle yrs as he would have just sucked No mention of this Bomber team having a buttload of totally new first time to the Cup players...How the team seems to be more "business like" this yr....among other story lines They wanna jerk the Argo's off all they can....keep it coming...no pun intended

Bonds was also lock down too. You never heard his name which is the best compliment you can get as a DB

Nichols....the CFL's forgotten Man.....tho he is forgot because teams look at our tape to game plan.....and just ay forget about him....where else can we go...Oh there...White guy in backfield....their funny......Sask saw how funny that was

Bottom line, keep collaros upright and give him a bit of time to work and he will do damage.

I don't know how many times we can say it: Kelly makes no difference. Toronto wins because of their defense and ST. Plain and simple. We have never once beaten them in a GC and until I see otherwise, I will not have confidence in a win....

Milligan didn't even lead his team in special teams tackles. I think this is the first time I've seen 'Defensive Plays Total' around the talk to MODP/MOP, not even taking into account Special Teams Tackles being part of it. The Riders managed to turn that gigantic positive TO ratio into a huge amount of punts. The Riders had 103 punt returns against... the next closest team had 80! So yeah he's gonna have more opportunities for STT.

What a time to be a fan in WINnipeg, 'the hottest sports city in Canada' Its an amazing time to be alive people! Open your pores and absorb it all in! Sweet Jesus!

Bombers by a mile.

Douchebag culture for a douchebag fanbase.

It's BO's ripple effect that's outstanding, establishes the run, 2nd and short yardages, protects his QB from blitzes, bangs his helmet gets the fire going with his teammates/fans, shows his appreciation to his teammates (Oline) in real time on the field, sets up play action, opens up the O playbook, keeps our O on the field for long drives resulting in D's hands on hips, keeps our D well rested etc etc etc.

You over rated your sex pest qb. Doesn't matter who is at qb for the argos. The matchup that has swung thing for the argos all season is DL vs. OL. That's the only thing that matters here.

It’s so odd to hear a different announce team each half for the 84 cup. Too bad most of the big plays happened in the first half and Wittman had the second.

Really Brady is the MOP this year.... does it matter if he beats out Milligan in the west or overall? Nope. There's no runner up trophy.

If you're in the mood for a little football pron, TSN5 is about to show CFL Playoffs in 30 - West Final. 8:30 Central.

Goofball? Magic medicine? Tell me more.

I cant see him not playing, he came back into the game vs the Riders. Staff will likely have him hopped up on goofball.

He’ll be a okay, he’ll be okay, he’ll be okay said in the fetal position rocking back and forth. Add in thumb in mouth for good measure.

Do they? I mean a Canadian leading the league in rushing and yards from scrimmage isn't anything to sneeze at. They fell all over themselves when it was Cornish or Harris in BC. Methinks sometimes the national media just loves to downplay the Bombers. Ford had a great season... but the most outstanding Canadian IS Oliveira. Ford is one piece of a great defensive backfield, Brady for most of the season has been the Bombers entire offense.

I as a human frequently get your and you're wrong but ChatGPT? Wow. Go Bombers. 🙂

We'll be a crew of 6 Bomber fans aged 7 to 70s sitting in 410.

Disagree, if the Bombers have the two top Canadians in Brady and Ford, why can't they both be nominated and let the voters determine who's more worthy? Just as relevant, if the two best defensive players are in the East, why substitute a Western player of lesser value as a finalist?
