I got into a discussion with one of the 3down writers yesterday. He was going on about how the bombers should be concerned about the lack of run game and over all lack of offense in the 2nd half of the CGY game (No I'm not kidding). Oh and the defensive collapse should be worrying as well....?

When I challenged him on that, you know...like saying back ups were in, lack of pass game made run stopping easier etc etc. He would only comment on how the Stamps also had back ups in?? Which is true, but he for some reason thought that would have an impact on the 5th. He even went so far as to say the Bombers are praying they don't see the stamps again this year...lol.

He kept bringing up the week 4 game and how the stamps weren't totally healthy and also added key players since then. I basically said the same thing for the bombers, but it didn't seem like he understood that? I'm not sure (I think the guy is the CGY version of Hodge, just far more of a homer) why he couldn't see both sides of things. 

But for that reason alone, I hope the Stamps get to the 5th. However I just don't see it happening.

The 3DN guy was probably that goof RadioRyan I am thinking? I could fit everything he knows about football in a walnut shell.

The final result will speak for itself, just like it did in 2019.

Let them keep spouting garbage - and get guys like Biggie and Jeffcoat more even more fired up.

I know a lot of people are hoping for another Bombers vs riders beat down... but after that sour taste of a loss to Calgary, I would really like to show those guys what our full line up looks like... they celebrated like they won the cup... plus I would never, ever cheer for the riders, so in theory, I'll be cheering for Calgary next week...

I'll be at the game Dec 5... and I'll be cheering loud for the blue no matter who shows up to lose...

They're both equally irritating in their own way. No matter who wins, it won't matter.

I want to send sprinkle nuts home again with yet another playoff loss. 

This time at IG east

Sprinkle nuts?

I’d prefer IGF Prime rather than IGF East for our stadium.  No way I want Canada’s toilet bowl mistaken as being on equal footing to the home of the Blue Bombers 😤

Agreed.

We are not East or West. 

We are IGF. 

Preparation for the game continues. I got a blue ski mask delivered today. After the kids fell asleep I stripped down to just the mask and burst into the room my wife was watching Netflix in. She didn't think it was as funny as I did.

You reminded her of your shortcomings.

I'd hardly call him a writer.

No doubt. He is Hodge with much more of a home town bias.

I’m betting that she was laughing, but not for the reason you think. 

A few decently large blocks of tickets in the upper decks went today. 

Sell out imminent.

(as of November 24): High -11, feels like -18. Wind 26. 

I'm going to keep updating the forecast as we get closer to the game. 

It has taken a turn for the worse (better?) dropping to a high of -11. 

Well.......it's 'Toba. In December. I take solace in the fact that the lakes should be locked up for fishing when I come back on the 27th...... but yeah, she'll be nippy up in the second level next weekend! 

Yeah I am not wanting -20 in the wind.

East or West side? 

For what it is worth. I have heard from legit weather people that anything predicted beyond 3 days is largely useless.

227...Bombers sideline, I believe. Down around the 20 yd line...

so in the Environment Canada 5 day forecast, the 5th day is accurate something like 1% of the time...

Cool! Yes, that's the West and proper side of the stadium. East side sucks.

Absolutely. But, it's going to be fun to watch. 

You West siders.

Just stay on your safe side 😃

Just stay in the sunny West, we will do the dirty work over here on the #Darkside East.

Come on, it’s Winnipeg, that is nothing. 

Neither is this. 

But if it gets to this point, I might start to become a little apprehensive.
