OT: Bombers 2021 Season (WEST CHAMPS!) - Grey Cup Rematch on Dec 12

[scelaton]

Honestly, I was more worried about this game than I will be about the Cup. No one gave the Riders a chance, the BB hadn’t played a meaningful game in weeks, 33 was rusty at best and then the weather turned and we had to weather the turnovers. Perfect storm for an upset… not to torture the imagery too much!

If we can survive that then we are good to go in balmy Hamilton!

No room. Every bus shelter in the city is rented out. No room for people actually waiting for a bus.

yeah I know, feel for seniors getting groceries, the low income mother taking her child to day care before work and all those paying fares that are forced to stand outside because our gutless politicians fail to do anything!

O’Neil in the laundry room….doh

Neither QB looked particularly good, so I think the weather affected them, but Farjardo stunk. Bombers gifted him a lot of opportunities and he did nothing. He can’t throw downfield and once the Bombers took away the scramble he was cooked

Oh, wait...

Bombers fortunate a few of those turnovers were almost like punts . if they were of the pick 6 variety, Bombers likely lose this game.

True. But since they were like punts they also took potential bomber points of the board.

Bob goes out on a high note, enjoy the retirement

Oh, wait...

I checked the Riders forum boards … blaming injuries, complaining that the Bombers were historically healthy. Blah blah blah … maybe if they hadn’t dropped Collaros for Fajardo they would’ve won

Just made it home. Great game. We’ll, great result at least… WTF was up with traffic not moving for a whole @%^&*@$ hour? Weather sucks but doesn’t explain why nobody could move for an hour after the game…

 

[razorsedge]

How was that last pass to Duke Williams ruled a catch? Disregard the push off, the ball clearly hit the turf and changed direction. Its embarrassing that in a big game on a final drive the replay can't get it right.

And the fact it was when reviewed by Central office is mind blowing.

The traffic is brutal in and out for bombers game

 

[Boreal]

With that miss by the review booth on the Duke Williams "catch", we certainly have to be awarded 5 points next time we kick a field goal against the Riders or something. It's only just.

 

[roccerfeller]

That catch was absolutely brutal

 

[Babooch]

A whole bunch of us could see how some unlucky bounces didn't change the fact that the Bombers are two tiers above the crappy Riders. +5 in the Turnover battle and our superior D kept them to 17 points.

Yep that was a 35-10 game made close by uncharacteristic turnovers.

You should see the Park and Ride system. Complete chaos. It’s needs an overhaul — Wade Miller, if you are reading this, please help!

There was a fight between a couple drunks on my bus. Park and Ride system needs an overhaul before someone get seriously hurt. The system now as it stands is a free for all, the most aggressive person wins. That was a disgrace.

I agree. Today was worse because of the large crowd and the cold making people cranky but at best it’s a disorganized mess. Needs police/security and an actual lineup system desperately … it’s a good idea especially with the stadium in such a shitass location for a lot of Winnipeggers, but it needs some work

It was brutal. We park in the lot by Max Bell and it took us an hour and like 20 to get to Bishop. Just ridiculous. They weren't letting anyone out of one side of our lot.

What happened? Where was the check stop?

 

[bustamente]

We had our share of injuries this year too, Harris, Adams, Wilson, Darby, Richardson, Hardwick, Grant and more that I'm probably missing all missed time

I felt sorry for all the security just wearing running shoes.
