3 stars plus hh grey cup bound

[Mr Dee]

As hesitant as I am to feature an opposing player in this thread, I must say kudos to Cody Fajardo. He had an incredible year against all odds. 
Many of us were still wondering when that 3rd string QB would show up and prove us all right. 
He never did.

He’s a starter now, and he deserves it. 
Whether you believe the extent of his injury and how it affected him, he put on a good performance against a very good team....OURS.

I’ll leave it at that.

With this win Osh has locked up a contract extension if he wants one. That means a lot to me. 

O'Shea has quickly improved his playoff record with the Bombers to 3-3.

Which is a lot better than after that O-2 start with those stinkers against BC and Edmonton.

So you're saying Zach has more play off wins then Nichols....

[J5V]

1. Justin Medlock

2. Zach Collaros

3. Darvin Adams

HH - Shayne Gauthier

Yeah, but I wouldn't blame O'Shea's first two playoff loses on Nichols. I believe he did enough to beat the Lions and Esks. It was just bad defence and poor offensive play calling that did the Bombers in.

[TheAardvark]

Richie Hall deserves some kudos... in hostile territory his D came up huge.  How many plays from inside the 10 and no TD's?  Unheard of.  Lapo got the win last week, Hall gets it this week....

Collaros is just getting better and better . Last couple of games he made some questionable throws. None of that today. The only thing he could have done better was hit Darvin on that bomb to seal the victory

That's coming versus Hamilton. :-)

[johnzo]

you know the guy who could've had a monster game but came just short?  Sayles.  Aside from the miffed pick late in the red zone, there was another big moment in the second half where the greenies ran a sweep to their right. Sayles came at that play like he was shot out of a goddamn cannon, he was moving too fast to block, he got at least one hand on the ball carrier...

...who slipped away, reversed field, and ran for a first down. 

Dude is a freak athlete but kinda lacks finish, reminds me of Brandon Stewart in that way.

[TheHypnoToad]

1- Riche Hall

2- Darvin Adams

3- Gauthier

HH - Kongbo

I really noticed Bighill out there . I thought he looked really good as well.

Yup. Was gonna say Biggie deserves a star

[Goalie]

I finally watched the 2nd half this afternoon. 

1. Biggie - dude was all over the place and a monster 

2. Darvin Adams - Big Play DA has been huge these playoffs 

3. Harris - didnt get enough touches but when he did.. He got yards. 

HH - Gauthier 100 percent. From my understanding the HH award Jack used to give out b4 my time.. Well, it was meant for guys like Gauthier.

he has made some big plays, but he has a ton of drops too.

You keep trying to sell what no one is buying.

Adams had more than half our receiving yards in Calgary and more than a third of our receiving yards against Regina. His big plays got us out of huge problems in both games.

Sure he dropped a couple, every receiver does. None of them were game changers, but his catches sure were.

[Booch]

yeah his drop problem seems wayyy over blown...he makes clutch catches when it matters....has for last 3 years

He also has removed the knee brace he was wearing for the play-off games as welll as last game of year...and has looked like a different player...was probably still not 100 percent in latter part of the year

Also overlooked with Adams is his work in run game...deadly blocker and is always getting his nose in there banging heads...invaluable in the offence we run

[17to85]

I have very little tolerance for receivers who drop catchable passes and Adams has been absolutely guilty of it. 

That's not saying I want him off the team, I just want him to not be the best receiver on the team. 

[Noeller]

it's the 2nd and 10, right at the line, in coverage, where Adams seems to drop it the most. The opposite of clutch. But then he hits an explosion play and everyone forgets...

he's basically a bit tougher Chris Brazzell. 

[Pigskin]

1- Medlock. Best dual purpose kicker in the CFL. 

2- OL. The big boys have a couple of very good games. Let's make it three. 

3- ZC8. A solid game from a QB that was put into a few bad spots.

SG44, now known as Nitro. What a burst of speed. I hope the rest of the guy's on the teams  took him out for dinner.

Nice to see.  Great coach.

3. All those Rider fans talking smack making this win that much sweeter! For those keeping track, the Bombers were the first team to win:

- A regular season game at New Mosaic Stadium (NMS) - (July 1, 2017)
- A Western Semi-Final playoff game at NMS (November 18, 2018)
- A Western Final playoff game at NMS (November 17, 2019)

I'm noticing a trend. I wonder where the Grey Cup is being played next year...

I have never seen a white dude from Canada run so fast!

 

 Adams- making some nice catches after a big drop to start the game.

Demski - was beasty as well. Sure hope he is ok to start Sunday.

OL - giving Zack enough to take those deep shots.

 Darv in Adams end zone fingertip falling over toes one cm off the line touchdown catch. V Calgary looked like a no 1 to me.
