Pickle Rick

Still recovering from last sunday. At least we got that glorious west final, that's what will hopefully stick with me when I think back to this season.

Bombers could've won 3 out of 4 of those games to start the year, things have started to bounce our way and we're first in the west. Looking like a very good team in a season of just good teams. 9-6 seems bang on to me. I can't see anything confusing or confounding there lol.

Will be at the game tonight GO BLUE

Yes and why on earth would this goof Brown get the benefit of the doubt after last week.

Was at the game last night, I was telling the wife about how buzz and boomer used to absolutely wail on the green drop. A guy behind us overheard us and pulled out his 88 grey cup ring, and let me & my young one try it on. He had some sort of admin position with the bombers back then, not exactly sure. Anyways, last night stung but I am proud to be a Bomber fan, lots of good old boys in blue and gold in the crowd last night. F*CK the Als & F*CK the riders & F*CK everyone else, GO BLUE

I'd just like to turn on my tv and have my dominant team be given some respect 😆

I don't think the bolded is true really, I don't recall a honeymoon period the bombers (& us fans) got to enjoy when the winning began at all. At the start of this run most the talk was around Hamilton and their super team, then the media shifted to Toronto, and BC last few. It is strange, because you could say it's big market bias but if its was the gappers on this run they'd be fully celebrated... Its.... annoying. And half of the media is picking Montreal to win lol. The same media types that all fully supported Argos in the East Final, and the same media that would've been united in crowning the Argos right now if they had got past the Als.

Als D is really good to be sure, and they may give Brady and our run game problems, but you can't really look at the East Final and not notice Chad handed them the game (hence his lame assed excuses). I just can't imagine a world where ZC8 crumbles like that. No matter what else happens on Sunday, the Als won't be handed the ball 9 times.

No way, we aren't talking about him taking on blockers here, just jog the play out

It was a small thing, (that's what she said) but watching Chad give up on chasing down Dequoy on that first pick 6, so early in the game made me feel there was trouble brewing for Chad and the 'best ever' Argos. Something about that visual (TSN tried to crop him out on the replays) of Chad deciding he was done looked so demoralizing. I know qbs shouldn't really be relied upon to make that tackle but at least run out of bounds or somehow get outta frame and avoid getting POSTERIZED

Guys (and girls) just hanging out in the men's washroom smoking cigs and other things ALL NIGHT lol. Different times

Yes of course! I only post to try to pump the breaks on the "big bad Argos" discourse. We both finished first in our divisions, East may have been stronger across the board but the Argos didn't have the Lions to contend with (head and shoulders above the other 6 teams), we beat them 2 outta 3 (loss came allllll the way back in June). 2 game difference in wins-losses doesn't mean much. IF the grey cup ends up featuring these 2 teams it'll be another classic.

ODDS TO WIN 110TH GREY CUP Team Projection Winnipeg Blue Bombers 71.03% Toronto Argonauts 20.34% Montreal Alouettes 5.08% Calgary Stampeders 1.33% BC Lions 1.24% Hamilton Tiger-Cats 0.98% Lots of talk about the Argos in this thread, here's the latest CFL.ca simulation, in case some people need reminding, we're pretty good too lol.

Was there last year as well, Bombers didn't even show up. I'm avoiding the game this year, but will be there in Nov.

West 1. Bombers 2. Lions 3. Stamps 4. Riders 5. Elks No Crossover WSF: Stamps beat BC in BC (Evans chokes) WF: Bombers handle Stamps (Dickenson cries to refs all game and is fired before xmas) East 1. Argos 2. Redblacks 3. Ti-Cats 4. Als ESF: BLM (coming off injury) finds some playoff magic and Ti-Cats beat the shockingly improved Redblacks (I got both road teams winning in the semis) EF: Argos beat Ti-Cats in a tight one. Entire Argos front office gets in altercation with rowdy Ti-Cats fans post game (Pinball included). GREY CUP: BOMBERS GET THEIR REVENGE, AND THIS TIME IT AIN'T CLOSE Realize now this is a REGULAR season prediction thread, just got carried away
