OT: Blue Bombers Thread 2.0 - Home Playoff Game, Nov 12, 330PM

[bustamente]

Looks like a beautiful night for football, looks like the crowd count might be a little down for tonight game, I look for the Bombers to have this game settled in the first half then I believe it's 1 more win for a home playoff game.

Yup. Bombers "magic number" for a home playoff date is 2, but it is over 3 different teams. So 2 Bombers wins = home playoff date. 1 Bomber win, 1 lose for each of Sask, Edm, BC = home playoff date. 2 losses for each Sask, Edm, BC = home playoff date.

EDIT: Also since Edmonton has 1 game left against Sask and BC. Which does make it so if Bombers win and BC loss this week Winnipeg will lock up a playoff spot this week for sure. A Bombers win, with losses to Sask (@ TOR), BC (v OTT) and Edm (@ MTL) would lock up the home date.

Due my limited math skills I like to keep it simple... Bombers get to 12 wins and they lock up a home playoff game.

Honestly considering what would have to happen I'm not even worried about that. I know positivity in a Bomber thread is a questionable thing but I'm looking upwards right now. Bombers need to keep pace with Calgary and hope Calgary blows one here shortly. Then we can set up that final week in Calgary for first place

Wolitarsky in for Feoli-Gudino as expected. Looking forward to seeing him in action, though obviously Coates will take most if not all the offensive snaps.

Definitely not the same Ti-Cats team that we embarassed a few months ago. Defense is playing much better (probably just undoing all the damage Reinebold did ). Alex Green has looked really impressive in the games I've watched, and I expect he's going to get more work in the passing game today. Masoli has been an upgrade over Collaros in terms of getting it out quicker, although his accuracy and decision-making is still erratic. Hope we bring back memories of his last start here.

Bad start, bad call on that fumble. His arm was moving forward with the ball in his hand.

And now looks like Nichols may be hurt.

I think we saw it differently but the ball was out as his hand was going forward

Calls have been even. I think Stanley Bryant's knee might've been down on that crazy fumble lateral play.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Castillo down for the count. Hate to see that, but this is huge for the Bombers in a game like this.

 

[bustamente]

That's as bad a half of football the Bombers have played in a while.

Nice night for football, Friday night, 10-3 Blue Bomber team, and crappy stadium location = smaller crowds!

Say what you want but the location sucks!

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Lankford is bad. Wow.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Worst half we've played at home the Calgary game. Embarrassing.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Lankford is bad. Wow.

Yeah he was open and gave up on his route which led to the interception. Nichols put it on the money.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I figured we were in for a rough one tonight. Things have been going too well for too long.

 

[bustamente]

Only down by 6 really shouldn't be close the way the Bombers are playing 2nd half will be a different story.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Harris with 2 rushes for 4 yards, that's insane.

 

[sipowicz]

Wrong thread, blame it on the alcohol....

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Refs seem to have a mandate to make sure Hamilton stay in playoff race.

 

[sipowicz]

Had a bad feeling about this game! Give Harris the ball already!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Did tsn show replay? I didn't see any pass?

Thomas batted it forward illegally.

Ball was swatted forward and Dom Davis is in the game

 

[SensibleGuy]

Bomber kinda swatted the ball forward before it was picked up

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Davis in, not Lefevour? What?
