Grey Cup Game

[jerrym]

By any measure this should be the Bombers game to win handily, but they almost lost last week through a rash of turnovers. I expect them to be focused on avoiding that this week. But if they produce a rash of turnovers or take Hamilton likely then an upset could happen.

Go Bombers!!

I think the Ticats can give them a game - just like the Riders did.

Pussycats will need to show lots of diversity on offence, to keep that good Bummers D off balance; use both QBs; bang lots of run game using 2 RBs; spread the ball around to all receivers (including Kalinic - CFL Ds are never ready for the H-back getting the ball - see the 25 yarder last game against the Argos); throw a couple of long bombs. Not that I expect that kind of game planning / strategy out of Steinauer & his coaching staff, but you never know.

IF I had to bet though, would put the money on the Bombers.

Below are Hamilton Bomber injury reports. Interestingly, Andrew Harris, the driving force of the Bombers, DNP Thursday, but that was a similar story last week and look what he did in the game.

Really bad timing for the Ti-Cats. Ted Laurent is out with appendicitis. He is a major part of their run defence. I am even more confident in a Bombers win now.

I hope your right Angelo, I hope Winnipeg absolutely dominates Hamilton tomorrow.

Yeah - potential huge loss; however, the Ticats do have a big DT (300 pound range like Ted) who is going in as next man up - on the roster a bit this season with little playing time ? - not sure he has even close to the skills, and certainly not the experience, but he might pull thru. The Ticats could also think of stacking the box more by putting in a bigger, natural LB (in place of the small tweener like Kelly) on first downs or obvious running downs, to try to stop Harris; doubt we see that though.

Go Bombers!

[jerrym]

Hamilton must contain Harris to a limited gains or they have very little chance of winning. Therefore the fight along the Bomber OL and Ticat DL will be central to the outcome.

[argolio]

Go Bombers!

Did I mention go Bombers?

[argolio]

Hold the ball in your other hand! Fool.

[argolio]

Hold the ball in your other hand! Fool.

Never mind.

[Argo57]

I wish there were more commercials.

[argolio]

4-0 Bombers and it feels like 14-0.

[ArgoGabe22]

Where are all the screens? We lost to this guy?

[argolio]

Stupid Bombers. Stupid Flanders.

[jerrym]

Change of QBs and Hamilton comes alive to take the lead. Shades of the Argo game.

[AngeloV]

I hope Evans stops faking that injury. I thought he was doing well.

[AngeloV]

OK, I officially dislike the Arkells

[argolio]

Stop using Demski. He's not on today.
