Nolby Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Expecting a win but probably shouldn't get too complacent, Hamilton has been playing better ball.
blue_gold_84 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Beautiful day for some Friday Night Football! With what's at stake (the chance to clinch and increase the chances to lock up a home playoff game), the team will be good to go. Stick to what's been working and they'll be fine. The leaders have done nothing but step up and tonight will be no exception. Fun fact: the team's 10-3 record is their best through 13 games since 2001 (they were 11-2 through 13 that season). Do it for Fort Hew! Mark F and SPuDS 2
Noeller Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 #FortHew #DefendTheFort My only concern these days *KNOCKS ON WOOD* has been injuries. Keep guys relatively healthy, and all will be well... blue_gold_84, MOBomberFan and Floyd 3

I hope we stomp em, he returns to form and kicks 4 to go with 3 or 4 TDs.

SPuDS Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Just now, HardCoreBlue said: Not necessarily if Hamilton plays tough tonight. hamilton playing tough shouldn't negate our clear advantage in skill levels. we are a better team, period. we should win this game. there really isn't any other way to put it lol. I know any given Sunday and all that but realistically, its the ti-cats. we are at home. we are playing excellent football on both sides of the ball. O'shea seems to have found the way to get the guys up for each game, trap game or not. If we end up needing to win by a FG, it will definitely mean (imo anyway) that something didn't go according to plan. as long as we win, I really don't care how we do it but its obvious to me that Hamilton isn't really on par with us..

Medlock puts up one FG, which, by itself, is enough to beat the TiCats but that the offence still puts up over 500 yards and bunch of TDs. Fan Boy, Sard, HardCoreBlue and 2 others 2 1 2

Sure I'd love a blowout and I don't care anything of Hamilton's defense, offense, special teams , oskie wee wee etc but on any given Sunday (or in this case Friday) . . . I sometimes find teams of higher caliber play to level of lower caliber teams. If that happens (which I don't want it to happen), Medlock may have to take care of business.
blue_gold_84 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 http://www.tsn.ca/bombers-need-to-take-care-of-business-against-ticats-1.876905 Quote "I've been around this league long enough that when there's four and five games left, anything can happen," Nichols said Thursday after the Blue Bombers' walkthrough. "You've got to take care of business and not wait and hope that other people take care of business for you." Quote The defence can't lose sight of its need to improve, even with the playoff scenarios, Randle said. "It's all about us and how good we can get and get better at what we do," he said. "Knowing what our weaknesses are, knowing what our strengths are and try to go along with that." Quote "I couldn't tell you the scenarios, nor do I care about them," O'Shea said. "I care about winning this game, focusing on what's going to allow us to win. "None of that other information is going to help us win or allow us to win the game so it's irrelevant." Saying all the right things. Now just get on the field and execute! SPuDS, Mark F and Noeller 3
MC Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Even the players' quotes have a feeling of "we are better than them" tone to them. The gap in talent level is never as big as the records would indicate and anybody in this league can beat anybody else. Expecting to find a way to win is a lot different than expected to win easily. The latter will get you a loss. blitzmore, Atomic and blue_gold_84 1 2
LeBird Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Goo luck Bombers. Let's just hope the officials don't pick on this game to even the bad calls against the Tiger Cats.
Pete Catan's Ghost Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 It may be warm out today, but don't fool yourself; this is October football. Our two headed rushing attack is about to kick it up for the playoff push. SPuDS 1
Fatty Liver Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 Mazoli does not seem like a QB that could find weakness in the Bomber secondary but they should be ready for their new RB Alex Green to cause some damage.

I could be cynical but it seems to me that too often the refs help the weak sister teams.

I don't get that, to me this team simply cares more about what they do themselves than who they are playing. Been consistent from the get go with Mike O'Shea. There's no looking ahead, not looking behind, there is only the next game on the schedule and preparing to win that game is the only thing that matters. And I for one welcome this approach.
Super Duper Negatron Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 What is this strange feeling? It almost feels like...confidence? Optimism? *shudder* Need to take a shower. blue_gold_84 and Mark F 2
Jimmy Pop Posted October 6, 2017 Report Posted October 6, 2017 can't believe no one's mentioned the BIG news today: Beaver Tails are back at Winnipeg Stadium!! About freakin' time, I say! Looking forward to seeing the firepits and warming huts in the tailgate area today. Don't care too much for Fall, but love me some Fall Football! SPuDS 1
