107th GREY CUP - Tiger-Cats @ Blue Bombers
I want revenge for the 2009 Boat Game.

Superstitions
in the dopamine blast aftermath of the WF win I was seriously considering driving to Calgary for the Grey Cup (about 12 hours one way, without considering the border) But the last time I saw a Bomber win live was in Ottawa in 1996. Since then they are something like 0-12 in games I've watched from the stands. So I am staying the hell away.

3 stars plus hh grey cup bound
you know the guy who could've had a monster game but came just short? Sayles. Aside from the miffed pick late in the red zone, there was another big moment in the second half where the greenies ran a sweep to their right. Sayles came at that play like he was shot out of a goddamn cannon, he was moving too fast to block, he got at least one hand on the ball carrier... ...who slipped away, reversed field, and ran for a first down. Dude is a freak athlete but kinda lacks finish, reminds me of Brandon Stewart in that way.

I don't like to use the word "hero" lightly....

I need to go back and look at Streveler's snaps -- don't recall even one play where we used sideways motion to widen the D and make some room for him to run inside. And others in the game day thread noted that Harris wasn't in the backfield for a lot of those plays, so no option play potential there. My impression was that Lapo hung second-biggest Chris out to dry on Sunday.

Medlock has hit his last 20 attempts. Hasn't missed in almost two months, including 8/8 in the playoffs, and has not missed a step with McGuire as his holder instead of Streveler.

Props to Fajardo for gutting that game out. Zach Collaros Player of the Game in the 2019 Western Final ... for the Bombers. Hell of a timeline we're on.

I was sure I was gonna regret this but not today death, not today. Payback for the 1994 Dunigan shot off the post....

...but shouldn't it be intentional grounding? didn't go past the LOS, no eligible receiver nearby.

why is medlock punting it straight down the middle of the field?
-
WF - GDT - Blue Bombers @ Roughriders
what happened to all our running plays with the sideways motion that widened the D so well last week?
-
WF - GDT - Blue Bombers @ Roughriders
you gotta wonder why they've got their injured QB out there running that sneak.

WF - GDT - Blue Bombers @ Roughriders
two score game again ... Blue doing just enough to keep this turtle race going.

WF - GDT - Blue Bombers @ Roughriders
just once, tho. Bennett not looking real comfortable out there even when he's making positive yardage.

Mike Miller, 1 carry, 1 first down. Dude is like a free first down coupon you can cash in once per game.

WF - GDT - Blue Bombers @ Roughriders
ordinarily I am pretty forgiving of the officials because the game is so fast and they have only two eyes but godammn how do both the line judge and the eye in the sky miss that? total breakdown there, a bust in the officiating.

lights out D and solid covers on ST keeping us in the field position battle, hopefully we can weather the Lapo doldrums.

WF - GDT - Blue Bombers @ Roughriders
that is some classic 13th man action, crowd forcing a time count on the home offense.

hope some of you bet "over" on Bomber passing yards at the start of the second quarter.
