Nolby Posted Sunday at 05:09 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:09 AM Gotta think Montreal will be resting starters after this game, maybe rotate a couple in here and there. Don't see Fajardo starting, we need a big bounce back game to secure the West. rebusrankin, Noeller and captaincanuck12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincanuck12 Posted Sunday at 05:26 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:26 AM Classic problem. Doesn't always bode well for teams to lock up playoff spots early. I really want that West final date here. ddanger, bearpants and Noeller 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyAbonny Posted Sunday at 11:07 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:07 AM I think it’s gonna be another physical game where neither team hits 20 points but this season’s been so unpredictable, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted Sunday at 02:35 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:35 PM Maas is a hot head but I don't think he is a fool, no way he plays Crapardo probably rest a few others but in the CFL and it's tight roster you can't rest them all BaconNBigBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted Sunday at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:11 PM Montreal is a pissed off team. They will want to make a statement going into the playoffs. I expect Fajardo to start and play the first half. ddanger, Atomic, johnzo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do run Cody for at least a half, we need to win that half and then keep the foot on the gas for whomever Maas puts in afterwards.

To the point they are getting dinged up. Not sure they can just flip that switch again. Think them and Toronto are in opposite spots from last year heading into playoffs.

I was just going to respond the same... it's super easy for Montreal to brush off that last game... and the Bombers are a pissed off team after blowing a chance to clinch first and will want to send a message going into the playoffs and ensure the west final is in winnipeg. Toronto is to me the odds on pick to come out of the east. Rising at the correct time. coach17, Nolby, ddanger and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted Sunday at 10:49 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:49 PM (edited) Still pissed about last week. Hope the team is too.

It took the first third of the year for the secondary to really start communicating better and gel .. let’s not screw it up now.

Noeller Posted Sunday at 11:44 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:44 PM (edited) According to Tait's piece today there was plenty of Kelly at Safety.... They're probably just trying some stuff just in case... "...Taylor’s addition comes at a time with Brandon Alexander out a hand injury — he’s currently sporting a cast — and second-year man Jake Kelly manning the safety position. Taylor was shadowing Kelly on Sunday, but could also play halfback, dime or even corner with his 71 games of CFL experience with four teams, including 2019-22 with the Blue Bombers and two Grey Cup championships..."

If the Bombers get a real test against Montreal, and particularly if the home team wins, it ought to be a great dress rehearsal for the playoffs, and I think they need that as smelling salts. wbbfan and ddanger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluto Posted yesterday at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:15 PM Montreal doesn't need the win, but they will be looking for a palate cleanser after their trip to BC. We'll see if they can get themselves straightened out or if the Bombers will just go balls out to earn the Western playoff bye. When the Als were clicking earlier this year, and I suppose beginning late last season, they kind of had a Bret Hart vibe for me. Not the most imposing talent that you ever saw and certainly not the one that you'd pick on-paper to win a Grey Cup... but they executed nearly flawless football and just kept doing it without making any mistakes their opposition could exploit. Not sure they'll find that rhythm again... or if it'll be enough to get them back to the big game with the Boatmen rounding into form. I think Winnipeg takes it on Saturday and sends Montreal into the EDF on a 4 week stretch without a win. Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
