Not every one will be ready for this and that’s understandable. But we will definitely need a shot of positivity around here this off season. 
 With that in mind here are some things I look forward to with the bombers in a positive light only. 
 
Terry Wilson. I was extremely impressed by how poised and in control he was when he came in. Stepped up in the pocket, kept his eyes down field when pressured and threw with authority. He has Great arm talent, and athleticism. But the mental side of him looks legit too. I look forward to seeing him progress next year. 
 
another Canadian draft. We really cleaned up in this last draft, which was a strong draft to be fair. So I don’t expect us to replicate that success, but adding another piece or two to the AR will be huge for our NI depth. 
 
On that note, our rookie Canadians did better than I expected this year. I can’t wait to see big kev with another tc under his belt, think Wallace will be poised to take a starting spot next year, mci came a very long way as a blocker too. I hope to see a good chunk of pre season reps for mci to play rb so we can see what he has and let him develop. He went from a guy out of place on an AR to a solid FB in one season and that’s pretty good. 
 
Kelly, I think he has a sneaky good chance of becoming our starting S next year. Imagine 3 starting Canadian dbs? Never thought I’d see that on a good team. 
 
tyjuan garbutt really turned a corner late. He isn’t the instant dominant pass rusher we need, but he’s a damn good two way end who plays with discipline. Imo he’d be excellent as a di rotational back up next year. 
 
Ayers and Cole. I’d love to see more of Ayers at mac and Cole at wil. Both guys are monsters on teams just scratching at their potential but are still a lot of fun to watch. 
 
Devin adams. Such an incredible athlete and raw talent. Gonna be awesome to watch him in his first full camp. 
 
Woods. Our best dl for my money all year. Guys a beast who can play a bunch of inside positions and some edge especially in the 30 front. Only 25 years old and the sky is the limit. 
 
can lawson and schoen the return. Nuff said. Love what both these guys bring. 
 
Owen Hubert. Really over achieved early. Hit the rookie wall hard. But showed a ton of lunch box type stuff that could make him a very valuable rotational piece next year. 
 
The majority of the secondary as well. Holm and Kramdi stepped up big, griffin and bonds were excellent Nichols was my modp for us and ford legit would’ve been moc in the league most years. How do you improve on that? Well Nichols is the only guy at 30. So another year could bring improvement for each of those guys. 
 
JY. Through some early struggles he really turned a rag tag group of guys into an elite pass defence. I can’t imagine what more he has in store with a year of growth and prep. 

Yes I'm in Vancouver but am not partaking in the festivities dowtown. Retired pension income. So will watch and cheer game on TV and communicate with my Lions friends on facebook. I think the reality of big screen HD at home is not a bad option at this point.

Well, I suppose it wouldn't be this place without complaining about the roster for one last week this season and blaming every perceived bad decision on Osh...

oshin'...thats why....and yeah that one kinda makes zero sense...as MCI is really good on teams too

Proulx is a goof 

Proulx is a goof 

Andre Proulx is the best ref in the league. 

This Bomber team just has a different vibe this year... all the crap they've gone through this year I think has made them far more focused.

Great now I'm picturing you naked...

I as a human frequently get your and you're wrong but ChatGPT? Wow.
Go Bombers. 🙂
 
 

The awards system can have flaws and the 3downnation picks can be garbage at the same time. 

I think its priceless  watching Harris on the phone at the 1:57 mark, imagine hes calling his parents - Mom , Dad, you might want to check what the possibility of getting a refund for your trip to BC next week is.

I s**t you not, a few years back that Rider jock sniffer Nye picked against the Bombers every single week for the entire season. The guy is a joke.

Nye = anybody but the Blue Bombers.
Or sometimes it’s I’ll pick the BB to win but hope they lose.

Back when we wore onions on our belts because it was the fashion at the time.

If anyone is watching their weight, feeling a little bulimic but need help with the puking this morning, then head on over to 3dn and read their award pick winners for the season. 
Don't say I didn't warn you because you will want to puke, and no I'm not even going to pick it so you can't blame me

I was irrationally angry reading it. This is exactly why we **** on people who pretend to be media but don't have any actual journalism, broadcasting or even communications training.
DON'T EDITORIALIZE IN AN ARTICLE!! OPINIONS ARE FOR COLUMNS AND OPINION PIECES. "NEWS" ARTICLES ARE FOR "JUST THE FACTS".
argh.

Mark my words, today’s the day we show the Roughriders what real football looks like. My gut, my soul, the universe herself is telling me we’re not just going to win, we’re going to annihilate them. It’s going to be a bloodbath, a complete and utter dismantling. Think of Banjo Bowl of yore, with a 50-3 scoreline. Pure, unrelenting destruction. This is manifest destiny! We’re destined to dominate. The stars and cosmos are aligned, the football gods are on our side, and nothing, nothing, NOTHING, can stop us today. Get ready for greatness.

I expect their fanbase to have an abnormal of non-reality based confidence, no surprise. 

The Rider players and media though, Christ almighty.  
I don’t remember an underdog team saying so many stupid things in the media before a playoff game. 
Trevor Harris publicly buying his parents plane tickets to the GC and Mr. November AJ Ouelette being 2 examples. 
 
They were a slightly above average team that got lucky with a boatload of turnovers, kind of like the 2016 Bombers minus an actual All-star RB. 
 

That's brutal. Another demonstration of the type of person the Riders seem to like.We had a couple of 25 year olds sitting beside wife and I early in the season. both didn't stand for the anthem. I expressed my thought to them about this. Might've used a few bad words.
 

Regina smells like cat piss

Everybody came to play today. That's the O'Shea factor, and that's why we're going to our fifth Grey Cup in a row. O'Shea Dynasty continues.

He got lucky, we barely won without Devin Adams on the roster!

You mean the guy who put up 487 passing yards and 3 tds in the play offs vs a much better secondary with no rb and the worst coaching in the play offs? 

He got lucky, we barely won without Devin Adams on the roster!
