Hey a little pre game talk is permissible although I’m not one for trash talk.

Montreal and Winnipeg unbelievably have never met in the Grey Cup.

It could be a defensive battle but you will be facing a better offense across the board than you did today.

Should be a good one.

Substandard facilities in Winnipeg claim BC’s top reciever and two best corners, all cfl all stars. And people wonder why the cfl gets no respect.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers relied on their ace running back Brady Oliveira :star_struck: who had over 100 yards rushing in the first half :exclamation: The TSN turning point was the blocked punt by Canadian Nick Hallett for the scoop and score. :canada: My game ball goes to the Bombers Defense which had “10 sacks” on the night. Best of luck to the Bombers and I hope this man in photo :star_struck: is back in the lineup for the 110th Grey Cup game. :bangbang:

Okay you can head back to your Detroit forums. And “i” before “e”, except after “c”.

Did BC run a play inside the Bomber 25 tonight? The score must have flattered them. The Bombers will have to clean up a few things next week to get past a hot Als team.

Our stadium is 8 years old and all facilities are top notch. And yeah I before e except after C. And if in fact their dressing room is bad that isn’t an excuse for losing.

Now THAT was a total team effort. All 3 phases. I wasn’t always a Richie fan, but he has created a phenomenal group of players with great defensive schemes.
He also found a diamond in Evan Holm!!

Excuses and whining are for losers…Bombers were playing without their top receiver, lost Bighill in the game, etc. etc. suck it up buttercup, best team won today PERIOD!

Biggies injury looked serious… He is definitely the General on defense… Would be a big loss

Upside is he walked off on his own… did not end up in “the tent.” Hopefully he’s back up and running in a day or two. He’s a beast, and the team can work with the next man up, but we do need him.

I would like to formally apologize to catznpeg for ever doubting his take and also would like to apologize to my als who I had zero hope would beat Toronto after the halfway point of the season.

But als will clap Winnipeg.

That is how you talk smack right.

No they won’t. Half of our guys will avoid your Al’s clap by practicing ‘safe football’ while the other half will just say ‘no’.

Actually Als Nation it’s “her” take … been watching CFL for 65 years so I know a few things about what it takes to win in the CFL…Montreal played like they had something to prove and prove it they did… it was a team of everybody else’s castoffs which played a huge part in their motivation… Kudos to them… Toronto was full of themselves and there is such a thing as being overconfident… Bombers will be a whole different ball game…can’t wait to see what happens… fans and pundits will talk trash but I’ll leave the talking to the teams…Bomber fan forever…Go Blue!

Two weeks in a row I had to record the game and watch it Sunday morning. Whose brilliant idea was it to move CFL playoffs to Saturday and compete with CIS playoffs? at least the UBC Thunderbirds are moving on.
