Riders at Bombers WF GDT

[rebusrankin]

I am confused how a defence with the guy the media was touting as MOP, plus an all-CFL corner absolutely got their asses handed to them. 🤣

How many players have been around for all 5 runs to the grey cup? For a league with a tonne of turnover the Bombers have done a remarkable job at keeping up continuity 

Collaros, Neufeld, Jefferson, Bighill, Alexander, Benson, Bryant, Demski, Oliveria, Gauthier, Wolitarsky? Might be wrong or missing a few.

Probably not as many as you think:

Collaros, Neufeld, Bryant, Oliviera, Augustine, Wolitarsky, Demski, Alexander, Thomas, Jefferson, Gauthier, Bighill, Wilson, Older Hallett

Benson wasn't with them in 2019.  Chad Rempel was the snapper.

And...safe to say the Bombers took the Als lightly last year 

You might of.  Don't think the effort level changes from week to week on this team.  Als were on a run and same group was best team in league this year.

I think we're all eating **** after complaining about the game day line up, man, did it ever pan out huge.

[no71]

It was great feeling in control most of the game.  Not enough playoff games  like that since 2019. (I deserve to be spoiled — followed them closely from 1991-2018)

So will Trevor Harris's parents be at the game next week?

Arbuckle had probably the best game against us of any QB in 2021.  Wouldn't discount their ability to win with him.  He's no worse than Kelly this season.

Which is exactly the mindset the Bombers need to use in preparing for next weekends GC game.

How did I forget Thomas! And yeah I was thinking Remple but for some reason confused him with Benson 🫤 either way. 14 players over a 6 year span is still pretty good. And I’ve always said that if Covid wasn’t a thing this would be our 6th straight appearance!

Yup. Sitting right next to Harris.

Brady Oliviera has never not made it to the grey cup in his CFL career.   

[17to85]

Seems to me the riders went in expecting the Bombers to play soft against the run and then when winnipeg actually stepped up and didn't let them they had no answers as to what else to try. 

 

Just completely outclassed those fools.

Could that be a CFL record? Most GCs to start a career lol.

Still dont get the call on 3rd and 3 from your own 25 or whatever. You gotta go some time, but I think they just assumed they were gonna get it. Straw that broke their back.

Desperation. They new they were losing and panicked. 

[Dodge and Burn]

Riderfans are experts at losing. 🤣

[Bigblue204]

They really thought they were going to win here lol

There was clearly little thought put into that once they punted the next time they had the ball...ended up being one of their best players because Whitehead muffed it.

Out played on the field and out coached badly. Bombers know how to win,  all the riders know is yapping. They had knobs acting like fools celebrating first downs when they were on the ass end of an ass kicking.

Outside of the last game of the season ,  he had 2 TD's and very poor stats.   He went 12 / 22 for 88 yards against us earlier in the year.

Wonder why they would start Arbuckle over Dukes. Isn’t Dukes their second stringer? And who would you rather play against?

Dukes isn't a starter... Not even close.

Like Henoc mentioned, and it worked beautifully, they started off with not using Brady, Sask wasn't ready for passing out of the gate and it showed.

Using a 6th olineman completely erased their Dline, gave Zach enormous amounts of time to read, and helped Brady put out a huge game.

I hope they keep that 6th olineman, Toronto destroyed Zach when we last met, would give him a little extra help.

Hey everyone I didn't want to mention it because it felt like a jinx, but my Grey Cup tickets are in section 443 and I hope to see lots of blue out there next week...

What row/seat numbers? I’ll see if I can get a seat next to you!

I don't think this is what he meant by "Let's speak this into existence".

Same gameplan we used against Montreal in game 18 ... Als started out by stacking the box on every 1st and 10 so Zach threw it over their heads until they loosened up a bit and then you saw Brady get his carries.

Classic CFL where you throw to set up the run.
