Their offence did **** all and they’re going home. 
 

 

Also yes. They should have run the ball. The thing that made their offense successful.

I suspect that given the proximity to Manitoba, there will be a healthy contingency of Bomber fans there. But most “neutral” fans will probably cheer for anyone but Winnipeg. Underdogs are often rooted for more. No one outside Edmonton was cheering for the “drive for 5” in the 1980’s. It’s not personal, but people get bored of dynasties and want new blood. 

I don’t think it’s as much bored but more frustrated, irritated. Everyone wants is to lose except us.

Maas would throw a screen to absolutely no one, be amazed at himself, and throw it in his playbook.

Pretty much...and then throw a water cooler when it failed

Last thing I want, is to become a ******* footnote in Rourke's Cinderella storybook year... 

The Bombers better ******* bury the lions. Whatever, embrace the role of the wrestling heel equivalent- just ******* bury them and embarrass the **** outta them and show them that they are not even close to the same level as the Bombers.

True enough. Fans get frustrated. Media gets bored.

Basically this...fools...they didn't wanna come here anyway for a cold weather thrashing 

They finished 1-6 against teams above them in the West. The one win came against VAJ

Game 1 it was Rourke Rourke Rourke Rourke Rourke... game 3 it was again Rourke Rourke Rourke Rourke Rourke. And every time Zach collaros was like:

It will be no different in the West final. Bc was celebrating like they already won the cup. Bombers don't take kindly to soft assed teams that think they're all that.

I think it’s a badge of honour that everyone wants you guys to lose… the Patriots, the Warriors, the Lightning, Astros, etc. people want them to lose because they win. They love em at first when they end a long drought or win an underdog title. But then, they keep winning, and people get tired of it. They want a new champion.

Everyone that hates on the Bombers now, are just football hipster douchebags.

Didn’t they have to go to Edmonton that year? Or were you meaning 1987?

Anything can happen, I get it. This team narrowly dodged the playoff upset last year. I just have a feeling this time they dominate.  

We had BC coming to town for the WSF and we all thought it would be a cakewalk. Still not sure what happened.

Yeah I can't tell on TV that the lower bowl was empty with 5 minutes to go 

I don't give 2 shits about Nathan Rourke. I don't see how He's so good for the league like ppl not watching football is all of a sudden gonna watch? Nope. 

Disagree all you want. I don't care. Man, some of you are pretty snowflakey when ppl don't think exactly what you think 

Have you not seen the politics forums on here?

An 11 year old Osh would probably have been the difference....

If that's the GC match up, who do the Gappers in attendance pull for?  The Bombers or Harris who's been public enemy #1 there for a number of years?

The gappers might choose to cheer for a winner and pull for us, unfortunately they probably don't know what a winner looks like.

[GCn20]

This is the match up I was hoping for. A mediocre BC Lions beat a Stamps team that decided to not go with their strengths.

Sorry but this was more a Calgary loss than a BC win. They just really had a bad gamelan on offense. 14 points will never win you a playoff game where weather was not a factor.

[wpgallday1960]

Bombers have to execute the plan the Stamps couldn’t: maintain ball control with a strong running game and quick passing.  Keeping Rourke off the field will be key.

Exactly that. DD cost his team the game .

Well ****.......... Good thing that's exactly what we did all season. 

[17to85]

BC has not shown once this season that they can handle what the Bombers offense brings. Not once. Lions want to win Rourke is going to have to win a shootout and despite what TSN wants you to think Rourke wasn't shooting the lights out against the stamps. Solid game where he got lots of chances with the ball... but nothing earth shattering because the calgary offense was so inept. Maier had no end of trouble with the blitzes BC sent.... well Collaros isn't a young pup who gets spooked when you send pressure. Saw it when BLM went in too. He read it, threw the ball without panic and made plays. 

Plus this Bomber team knows how to win and what it takes to be at your best in the post season.... AND I really think that they are tired of the BC hype when for 3 years now the Bombers have been the unquestioned class of the league. 

Winnipeg is a more talented and more balanced team and has a huge physical edge. I really think you're going to see the Bombers not do what the stamps tried to do and win a shootout, but rather will focus on their tried and true grind it out slugfest, which BC is ill suited for IMO.

Good Lord... please can we just stop with the overthetop Rourkefestapolooza?

 

Rourke Post game about taping up his foot:

“Honestly, it was more of a look thing. You know how I am about that,” he quipped. “You look good, you play good and 3DownNation, I didn’t want them coming after me saying I ain’t got no swag.”

Thinking the same thing. Lapo is  exactly where he needs to be. He is really good on breaking things down. Enjoyable to watch, he ramps up the football expertise on the panel. 

They must have resucitated Lapo. Last week as he had all the energy of a long dead corpse.

Evan's being Evan's when they under pressure to get back in a game...tho he has shown more mettle than usual...but could revert to they guy we all recall in Grey Cups...I would never have faith in that guy not coughing it up with a fumble or pick in a crucial time...never

Evans started the third quarter. That first drive went nowhere & he was sacked. Starts ratching out as he storms off the field. Marty Scianetti reported that Steinhauer benched him as he was carrying on at the Hamilton sideline yelling. So, Evans shows his true colours by blaming his blocking for his bad play. And his head coach takes Evans out of the game as he lost his freaking mind.

I think Evans has played his last game as a Ti Cat. I just can't see Steinhauer wanting him back next season. Steinhauer gave Evans the keys to the Bentley & he wrecked it by driving into a ravine. Had Steinhauer given the start to Matthew Schilz the Cats may have won this game. I could see Schilz starting next season in Hamilton. He certainly has paid his dues & learned the CFL game.

Looks like Orlando has learned his lesson and nipped the Evan's meltdown in the bud this time...

Benched the guy. Good.. If I was one of his OL I'd want to squash that little bug.
