Much better feeling. The one I’m still not used to is being the great team that the good ones just can’t get by. rebusrankin 1
Geebrr Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 Nobody is stopping us today. Hope they enjoyed their Gatorade shower celebration last week. That was their Cup win. rebusrankin, BigBlueFanatic, Plaxico and 4 others 4 3

Pretty much when they peaked. Week 6 - Ottawa RedBlacks win their Grey Cup, defeating the mighty Bombers at home. Don't call it a Crum-back. Week 9 - Calgary Stampeders win their Grey Cup defeating the defending Grey Cup champions, Toronto Argonauts. Week 12 - Edmonton Elks win their Grey Cup defeating the Ottawa RedBlacks at home for their first home victory of the season and their first home game in 22 tries. Week 14 - Saskatchewan Roughriders win their Grey Cup defeating their arch-rivals, the mighty Blue Bombers at home in the Labour Day Classic. Week 15 - Toronto Argonauts win their Grey Cup defeating the Montreal Allouettes, thus securing the East Division. So many victory laps, but nothing else to show for it. Week 15 - Hamilton Ticats win their Grey Cup defeating the mighty Bombers in Hamilton. Not many top quality wins to choose from but this one they earned. East Final - Montreal Allouettes win their Grey Cup shocking the Toronto Argonauts on the road. An upset that no one is upset about. Grey Cup - Today... today is our Grey Cup.!The Winnipeg Blue Bombers attempt to win their Grey Cup, their 3rd in 4 years. Fantastic post. Just will need to modify the last point later this evening. 9 minutes ago, Booch said: it's time!

no71 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 99.9999 % just care if they win however it happens but a 1984, 1990, or 2019 style win would be much better for my nervous system JohnnyAbonny, BaconNBigBlue, Wideleft and 4 others 3 4
Jesse Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 Pretty sure the O is going to keep it pretty conservative today. They know Montreal's only chance is to create turnovers and score on defence and ST. rebusrankin, ddanger, JohnnyAbonny and 1 other 4
Noeller Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Not sure how well these will show up.... but my Morning Big Blue shirt, Coach Buck jersey, and socks all ready to go for today.... we have a Bombers themed basement that is primed and ready to go for today. The beer fridge is stocked with virtually all Manitoba beers that somehow made their way from MB to AB last weekend and bottles of Parkland-area home brew and some Gimli-made CR on the bar. Wife found some Old Dutch BBQ chips, in the cardboard box, just to THE Manitoba-ness of it all. Let's ******* go, fellas......... let's. *******.

johnzo Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 so last week we saw lots of three-man fronts with extra blitzers coming from all over the field. Think we see some of that today? Tracker, rebusrankin, GCJenks and 1 other 3 1

johnzo Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) thinking more about the D -- last game with Schoen out we had to "start" just one Canadian on D and we could freely sub American linebackers in for our Canadian DL. If Schoen does play today and we have to start two Canadians on D, are we still going to run those three-man fronts, since we'll need a Canadian DL on the field at all times? I think I saw Lawson line up at NT a few times against BC... Edited November 19, 2023 by johnzo
