You walk to your office downtown? You some kind of caped super hero impervious to robbings & muggings?

Yeah back in those days my office was just off Colony Street (by the Bay) and I had to park several blocks away. One of the best memories I have is standing by the Bay on the one side and watching the Bomber Grey Cup Team parade back in 1984. Very cold that day but I hung in for the whole parade.

In Surrey, the Lions were without defensive back Jalon Edwards-Cooper (shoulder), linebackers Jack Hinsperger (head/shoulder) and Ben Hladik (knee) and running back Kienan Lafrance (triceps).

Rookie.

[rebusrankin]

I'm a little worried to see Schoen, Bailey and Demski not practicing.

My guess would be we see Bailey and Demski but not Schoen but what do I know?

[WinnipegGordo]

I can deal with just being down Schoen. The Bombers will probably line up 5 receivers for less than 50 percent of the plays anyways.

My rule for all bomber games is drinks for the missus are free.

When in doubt liquor up lol

To give ZC, 6 blockers more ala the August game and to let Brady run all over them? That makes sense.

You need some more trips round the block.....

Weather?  Real cold, not so cold.....whatever.

Simply smash the Lions so hard.....that the leaders of the pride, won't even recognize them.

The Edwards-Cooper injury happened when Sheed trucked him. A beautiful thing.

I don't know guys... I'm nervous for Saturday.  Bailey, Demski and Schoen not practicing...

And while I agree that getting pressure on VA is critical to Bombers success, he completely shredded that Stamps secondary with time.  

I'm really hoping for a fourth straight Cup appearance, but the Leo's are formidable this year.

More than last year with Rourke?

Yes.  Last year's team was insane and very few cracks.  The only reason the west final was close last year was because of the points we gifted them.   This year this team just isn't as dominant and the mistakes have costed us big.  VA also beat us clean this year.

This is what 30 years of cup drought does to me.  2001, 2007, 2011.   

I will be there cheering the Blue loudly and hope VA is flat on back all game.

[rebusrankin]

BC's MLB Hladik didn't practice. It would hurt them if he didn't go. Near as I can tell from reading their depth chart, their only option would be rookie Ryder Varga who has not played this year. Maybe Brady carries us like last WF.

15 wins vs. 14 wins... the "troubles" this year's team has had are seriously overblown. 

[JohnnyAbonny]

BC’s secondary is overrated. 
Obviously I want to see all the starting WR’s play, however Lawler/Woli/BOLO/Ambles/MacCrae as the worst case scenario isn’t that nerve-wracking tbh.

He shredded them when they left him a 3 man front to shred.
