Blue Bombers 2022 Season Thread - Stunning Loss. Dynasty Interrupted. 2023 awaits.

[These Are The Days]

Guys I am very nervous about Sunday. What if Collaros is injured to the point he can't perform? Also we don't have the greatest record vs Toronto in playoff and Grey Cup games.

You hand it off to Brady. Ain't nothing stopping that mojo. He's the irresistible force you always hear about in sports. Ride the Gravy Train

The last time WPG-TOR played in a Grey Cup was 1950, before the CFL was formed. I don't think past record is all that applicable...

I don't want to derail the thread, but up until COVID, I would have said the exact opposite about downtown and I think it will gain momentum again soon.

There has been plenty of development around CLC, the Forks is world class, the Exchange District is unique and amazing in the summer, there's consistently new towers going up (Artis Reit, True North Square Phase 2)... These are all developments in the last 10 to 15 years that have made our downtown better than it has ever been. The street parties for the Jets run in 2018 were probably my favorite example of what a downtown should be.

Also, the Bombers got this. None of you need worry!

Yeah, I have to say that I left Winnipeg 20 years ago. I make regular pilgrimages back to visit family and friends though, and I'm always pleasantly surprised how much has changed for the better since the last time I lived there.

And... very excited for the game on Sunday. Go Blue!

Damn, we are so close to a dynasty I can taste it!

Two steps forward, two steps back? I really have a good feeling but the word “choke” is infiltrating my thoughts and I’m trying to drive it out.

 

[Jets4Life]

Please God.

Let us beat Toronto for once in the playoffs. I am tired of losing to them.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Argo gonna suck. Zach's going to have an easy game. 42-20 Bombers. Defense is going to put the game away in the 1st half.

I can’t remember the last time we played the Argos in the playoffs. Certainly not in the Grey Cup. I guess there were a few times way back when we played in the East.

The 2007 East Final. We beat them, but lost Glenn to injury.

Yeah I thought it had been awhile. When I read the post I responded to it didn’t seem like the Argos were a team we were losing to a lot. I looked at the Grey Cup history and it looks like we haven’t played them for the cup since 1950.

This current group of players doesn’t choke.

The year Kevin Glenn broke his arm in East Final and Dinwiddie had to start. 1950 was the last Grey Cup

 

[Holden Caulfield]

No changes to the roster from West Final. Backup DE Keon Adams listed as Game Time Decision.

We can only hope that the Argos are fielding some of their players from that 1950 team.

 

[bustamente]

I like what I saw from ZC at yesterdays practice moved around pretty well but gingerly. He will start by how long does he last who knows, hopefully the Bombers will start fast and have that not be a worry

I'm not going to listen to any of the noise coming from the TSN talking heads, they have there own agenda. TSN on my tv with come on at kick off and probably be muted a minute later

Seriously, why is this such a predominant mentality in Canadian sports media with regards to our sports franchises; 'anyone but Winnipeg' I honestly don't understand it and really want to know the reasoning and logic behind this hatred and bias towards us.

 

[KingBogo]

Agreed and a lot of people cheered against the Patriots for the same reason. F*** it we will shove it down their throats tomorrow.

Bombers have been too good lately, basically
