Yeah agreed. Again that first 3 and out in the first by Colllaros foreshadowed this one. Though it was still close at the half. The cut finger didn't help.

We beat the f***ing Argos three times this season, failed to make the playoffs and get to watch them win the Grey Cup:

I love victories like this
Definitely
Honestly would be surprised if some team like Calgary doesn't make him an offer

It's still our muthaf***in corny ass league that actually gets stronger every year. TSN deserves props every year too.

The dynasty talk for Winnipeg is over but if Toronto wins it again next year that would be 3 championships out of the last 4 years and 4 out of the past 8. Dynasty talk can start

I was at the game. Was close until it wasn't. And then the last few minutes we were just waiting for the inevitable.

Winnipeg fans must be getting annoyed at travelling just to see their team lose in the final. Maybe next year will be their year when they play at home.
Crowd at BC place was definitely pro Winnipeg. But it was very cool to see a good variety of jerseys in the crowd. Although mostly BC Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Winnipeg honking three in a row as significant favourites is surprising for sure, but it's almost more shocking that their performance has declined in every subsequent appearance. They were careless with the ball again in this one, but they weren't even mentally engaged to begin with. Weak effort all around from Winnipeg, hard to explain really. Maybe they really thought it was a going to be a formality with Arbuckle back there.

The Winnipeg transplants that live in Metro Vancouver sure made up for the pro Winnipeg crowd.

The Argos did beat the Bombers twice in the regular season, once with Cameron Dukes at starting QB during the Kelly suspension, so the Bombers couldn't have taken them all that lightly going into the game.
But that still doesn't explain how they pretty much no-showed a game in which they were a heavy favourite, and then absolutely crumbled in the second half.
For a team that has been so dominant for long stretches of the last four seasons (that 2-6 stretch this year excepted), it's amazing how they have never been able to put together a convincing performance in the Grey Cup. Even the 2021 game that they won was pulled off by the absolute narrowest of margins.
