Early chat- Ticats vs Champs Grey Cup Thread

[Bomber_fanaddict]

I just realized we only played Hamilton once this year (first game). We have a much improved and healthier team this time around! 

[Geebrr]

If you start knocking Evans around and getting in his face he gets rattled.

Faj is definitely "tougher" than Evans.

[TBURGESS]

We need to play better this week if we want to beat Hamilton at home. If you look up 'Ugly Win' on google, the first link should be to yesterday's game and the 2nd link should be to the Riders win last week.

[Geebrr]

If only we had someone on our team who had experience winning back to back Cups with the second basically being a home game.

It's amazing how much the roles are reversed for this week's game compared to 2019...

2019: Cats win several individual awards, including MOP - 2021: Bombers should win the ones they are nominated for, including MOP
2019: Cat dominated the regular season going 15-3 - 2021: Bombers dominated regular season going 11-3 (11-1 in games that mattered)
2019: Cats were favourites - 2021: Bombers are favourites
2019: Home(ish) game for the Bombers - 2021: actual home game for the Cats
2019: Bombers held the longest GC winning drought - 2021: Cats now have the longest GC winning drought

Now the Bombers just need to go out and play their game and make sure there is only one thing that will not be reversed...

[Wideleft]

While there is no question about who the better team is, I do have a concern that the TiCats will be hungrier for the win than the defending Champs.

And that is my only concern.

[Noeller]

For what it's worth......

 

[Goalie]

Bombers looked pretty unstoppable minus the self inflicted turnovers  

Not sure this one is gonna be close honestly

Can't wait to see what he does for an encore this year.

I watched the game yesterday morning and I swear to Zeus that I watched that hit 5 times.

It is unreasonable to throw one guy off his feet and into another.😄

Frankie Williams, I believe will not play.

But I wonder at what point will Speedy B start pouting and give up? When Deatrick Nichols puts him in his back pocket for the 5th time?

[Geebrr]

Mike Jones will just lay a beating on him like he always does.

I'm good if Hansen replaces Williams with Banks for a hit like that... that'd be more than enough to make him quit.

False. Every 'Riders win is ugly.

That hit is a thing of pure beauty. Im not sure if this hit or my daughters birth made me more emotional with joy. Lets call it a tie.

[kelownabomberfan]

Was Hansen playing yesterday?  I didn't recall seeing him anywhere on the field, but perhaps I was too focused on biting my nails to notice...

He played. Finished with two special teams tackles.

I think BA will lay him out.

they got a sort of "dead cat bounce" by switching QBs at the half yesterday, but there's no way the TiCats do that again next week. Evans isn't going 16/16 for 249 in a half against us...

Yup but I’m giving Dane a bit more cred from what I saw of him last week. He looked jacked as in the zone against the Argoblows. Message to me is ensure he never gets into a rhythm knowing tho him and Masoli will have a lot more to deal with our D. Also ensure Banks has his palms out all game shaking his head as he sulks back to his bench.

I truly dislike autocorrect.

I don't know how "Speedy" he is since he was given that nickname,he turns 34 on the 21st of this month. I know he's still got speed but he's hitting that point were running crisp routes will start making up for declining speed. I also hate that nickname lol

WBFB - do we keep tradition going and get into a massive online fight again and both get suspended like we did the week before Grey Cup 2019?  Or do we sit back and enjoy this Grey Cup run and just talk football?  I know I'd prefer the latter but I also don't want to mess with what worked for the Bombers last time 😁....also - man does that seem like a long time ago....

Fight fight fight!

Do we predict Alexander smashing Banks early in the first quarter resulting in Banks pouting and sitting out for half the game sulking after dropping the ball?
