December 10, 20195 yr comment_453027 I can't wait for 2035 and all of the young-ins being schooled by the current posters about "that 2019 team sure was great" and the new Bomber fans going "sheesh, who cares Gramps". It's gonna be sweet...

Played passive and hoped the D would win the game for them. basically as that whole year went...hope to get a few scores and have defense hold them..or chip in...we played 99% of time to not make an error and not do anything to lose the game..as opposed to go out there and grab the game by the onions and win it outright...

December 10, 20195 yr comment_453046 Swaggervile had some incredible individual talents. the 2019 unit got it done though, with out the need to be tacky, and with much better team play.

Thats true, but the unit and play call they went to in the play offs would have performed much better during the regular season.

I'm too lazy to check out Burke's roster changes over the course of the season but it seems to me that Richie was tweaking his, right to the cup. Gaitor, Fenner, Rios out-new guys in.
December 10, 20195 yr comment_453059 I haven't seen a defence play as well in the playoffs as the 2019 Blue Bombers since 1990.

December 10, 20195 yr comment_453067 Sorry to be negative but of course this year's defense is better than Swaggerville just because we finished very strong and that defense started very strong (in the season). A better question might be "Where does this defense rank among some of the all time great defenses in Bomber history?" My vote ( and I've only followed the Bombers since '72) would probably go to those defenses in the 80's to early 90's. In 88 we had the lowest scoring offense, but our defense allowed the fewest points in the league. Having said that, this year's defensive line allowed the 2nd fewest rushing yards in league history (per game).

The guy was just unstoppable.

Swaggerville was all about individuals. Yes, they played extremely well together but they weren't as close knit as the Band of Brothers playing D in the playoffs & Grey Cup.

I think 2011 is only better if you cherry pick the first 8 games of the season. Everything went off the rails after that point.

I proudly wore my Swaggerville shirt every week that year. It was a very fun year - an oasis in a dessert of horrible years. It was flanked by Doug Berry's unceremonial ousting after a terribly diappointing 2008, the Mike Kelly fiasco of 2009, and the 4-14 Lapo/Mack rookie campaign, and was followed up by an even more disappointing 2012 that saw Lapo unceremoniously shown the door, the most disastrous year in Bomber history that I know of (to christen a new stadium, to boot) in Burke's 2013 year, and O'Shea's extremely forgettable first two years here with Drew Willy and no stinkin' playoffs. I don't understand the flack that the 2011 group got for bringing a little fun to what was otherwise a very dark cloud over the franchise. These years encompassed most of my fandom, too.
