October 2, 20231 yr comment_665908 IG roof is made to push the noise down to field level. IG is one of the louder stadiums in football nevermind the cfl and that's with half of what some NFL teams draw attendance wise

IG is one of the louder stadiums in football nevermind the cfl and that's with half of what some NFL teams draw attendance wise I was just about to post this. IGF is modeled after the Seahawks stadium, which is well known around The League to create this enhanced noise because of the echo/reverb from the semi-roof. Bombers have the same thing.... the amount of noise that is "collected" and reverberated back down is insane. You can't possibly compare the old stadium to this... it's just scientifically/architecturally proven to be louder in IGF.

Players have told me at IG its intimidating because the noise and sound actually feels like its right on top of you, and u actually feel it....it's a different beast

I think our chances are better beating the Riders at home and then taking BC on in a dome where Zach is nice and cozy. The way he has played in cold weather lately, I kind of feel we lose out on home field advantage against the Lions anyways if the weather is bad. having been at the West Final last year and watching Rourke basically short-circuit and blow the last minute of the game due to the crowd noise has me thinking that no one in the CFL wants to play the Bombers at home. Let it be the West final. Not the WSF. Screw the Lions. They suck.

Unless you can take the crowd out of it early you are basically hooped. I did feel in the West Final last year that our guys were a bit jittery too. It didn't help that we had zero confidence in our kicker either. We were in control for most of that game but nerves definitely played a part for sure.

As a member of that noise making contingent it was hard to put the effort in when the team on the field wasn’t. Once they got their $hilt figured out so did we.

It also took more than 30 minutes to get anything from the concessions… Pretty much from the point we got our second field goal until the end of half time I was in line waiting. 10 game in and 2 to go and they still haven’t figured out their staffing for game day.

Seems like the Argos plan to take the fans partially out of the game worked. Sit some guys. Make it seem like it should be easy. Fans didn't seem to want to give it their all. A couple touchdowns to get the lead and it turned into their game. Thank goodness the Bombers never lost their pride 4 hours ago, Bigblue204 said: Edited October 2, 20231 yr by BBlink

I don't hate this take... but winning the division and getting the bye is ALWAYS the preferred option... IMO, this is the worst case scenario and still provides a reasonably good path to the GC
October 2, 20231 yr comment_665943 being at home...your own bed...no travel...big crowd...cold...it's a gotta have...and who knows...maybe the Riders rough em up good and they come in hurting....Maybe the Riders fluke out and they come in here....even better
October 2, 20231 yr comment_665949 When the team has been as inconsistent as they have been all year why would anyone want to see them play any more than necessary in the playoffs? Win ONE game, at home, and you're playing for a Grey Cup. That's the route we need to take.

What’s with TSN actively assigning homer play by play people to games… since Cuthbert left it’s like they gave up trying to find and develop competent people and just replaced it with blatant bias. I can’t believe I’m saying this but Rod Black just went nuts over whoever was winning. Once the Bombers were good again I didn’t mind him so much 😏

October 2, 20231 yr comment_665984 The BC Lions have shared their first injury report of the week, ahead of their meeting with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday night at BC Place. The Lions had defensive lineman Josh Archibald (shoulder) limited on Monday. The team had four other players as full participants, including quarterback Dane Evans (back), offensive lineman Sukh Chungh (ankle), defensive back Jalon Edwards-Cooper (illness) and fullback David Mackie (knee). https://www.cfl.ca/2023/10/02/lions-injury-report-evans-a-full-participant-on-mon/
