BBRT Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 1 hour ago, bluto said: Was only there once for -40. Dad often took me there on business and we'd fit in a Jets game. This one particular time we were with an associate from his Nassau office who had never even seen snow before. A cherished hilarious memory of seeing him take off down the street at a Johnsonesque sprint to get back to our hotel. Never implied that Winnipeg doesn't see the nether regions of the thermometer. Just that humid cold hits different. And on this I have to agree with Bluto - I moved from Dallas to Winnipeg in 1981 (better half is from the Peg). My office was just off Portage and Main and I suffered!! I thought it could not get any worse until I had to spend a week in Toronto in Feb - downtown staying at the Westin (right by the harbor) and walking up to the client about 5 blocks away. I have never been colder even with my walks to my office in the Peg. The wind and dampness and cold just got to me no matter how warm I dressed. Never forget it!

Spent a week around new year in New York about 8 years back. Coldest ******* week ever. Even though it was only about -10 it felt like -40. Damp cold is the worst cold.

GCn20 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Will be interesting to see what the Bombers do with snap counts this week. Betts and Touhema are the most penalized players in this league by a significant margin, and it is mostly due to trying to jump the snap count. I imagine we will look to exploit that.

Now, when it comes to the other side of the ball, I wonder how VAJ is going to handle the deafening noise and the snap counts at IGF. I believe the more significant adjustment, transitioning from the dome last week to IGF this week, will be dealing with the noise, not so much the chilly weather. Vernon lacks the composure to remain cool under pressure if the crowd gets to him early. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a big reason for this game where we should be dressing Fox in the DA spot we been wasting all yr Fox/Walker/Lawson/the Jeff's with Hansen and Cole rotating as they have been...and small doses of Thomas and Bennet in a cold weather game where owning the line of scrimmage would make way more sense than 6 to 8 snaps of a fullback who for all intents and purposes has really zero effect on the outcome of the game bluedawg, K-Shack, Mark H. and 4 others 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They have had some good games. I am worried about fatique becoming an issue, if the score stays close. DL is crucial to the success of our D.
