... actually the saner we will be as well. We are not meant to be a Grey Cup team, no way the things conspiring against us the last 24 years couldn't be some kind of supernatural/higher power curse (the curse of Cal Murphy if you will). Think about it? We had Troy Westwood for a Kicker for 4 Grey Cup losses. How could something like that even happen?
I present for evidence ...
1.) The 1993 Bombers. Easily the best team in the league that year forced to start the Grey Cup with Slinging Sammy Garza due to a freak late season injury to Matt Dunigan. We lose to Edmonton of course.
2.) The 1994 Bombers. Dunigan hits the goal post on a pass to a wide open receiver in the Final and we lose to the Baltimore Stallions who go on to lose the Cup to the Lions in BC.
3.) The 2001 Bombers. Enough has been said about that. It's obvious some higher power didn't want us winning that one.
4.) The 2007 Bombers. Glenn gets hurt towards the end of the East Final (and like Dunigan) can't play in the Grey Cup virtually giving us no chance with a very green QB playing for us in the game.
5.) The 2011 Bombers. We are the best team in the league for the first 8 weeks, sputter after that, but unlike this year, actually scrape our way into the Grey Cup game. The team we play (BC) sucked for the first 8 games and then suddenly becomes world beaters who can't lose at home. Guess what? The game is held in their stadium and we are doomed before we start.
6.) 2002, 2003, 1992. Those teams were capable of winning a Cup but ran into injuries at the critical time or a team (the 92 Stamps with Flutie) they were not going to beat.
7.) 1997 - 1998 Keystone Cops era
8.) 2004 - 2005 Keystone Cops 2 era
9.) 2009 Mike Kelly era (which is worse than Keystone Cops IMO)
10.) 2012 - 2013 Keystone Cops 3 era
11.) Any other of the hopeless seasons since 1990 (feel free to add)
Note* While we are not quite Leaflike in length of Championship drought, we are starting to become very Leaflike in general team mismanagement, fan angst, and general hopelessness.
