I say they do. If yesterday is any indication, VA is more willing to use his legs than he was during the regular season. Not saying that they will definitely win, but I think it will be a close game that can go either way.

IF BC can't limit Oliveira greatly, Bummers will win easily IMO.

Or, if the best VA shows up and is on fire passing to that outstanding receiving corps AND runs plenty (as AV notes above - makes him a real dangerous dual threat). BC could win a shoot-out ?

Yes I give BC a shot. Bombers have shown signs of weakness at various points this year.
BC also laid a few eggs this year, like here at BMO with the multiple pick-offs, and losing at home to Hamilton, but a 12-win team must be Legit.
I like + respect O'Shea as a HC in a big game, he's a very smart decision-maker if it comes down to a nail-biter finish.
And if (heaven forbid) a starting QB is hurt, I like the Bomber backup more than the Lions backup.

For the sake of a good Grey Cup matchup, do CFL fans want a rematch from last year or some new blood with BC?

Doesn't matter to me, as long as the Argos are there. I'm sure people would want to see the Argos best team play against the Bombers.

I want to see the best/ deserving team emerge from the West to get killed by the Argos.

Prefer BC though ... 1983 ... 2004 ... every 20 years or so to bag a Mountain Lion.

I want the Bombers. Some people consider that the Argos got lucky last year. Last minute FG block, Collaros played injured, etc...The real heavyweight match-up between Bombers-Argos did not happen in September this year. Bombers had the more difficult schedule. They have been the best team by record the last 3-4 seasons and the model league franchise.

The Argos need to face and beat them again this year in the GC to take their place as the league's model franchise, and become a dynasty in the making.
