Regular season appreciation thread

I want everyone to post their greatest memories of this year's regular season

For me it was Brady and the oline coming together and running the ball effectively after a difficult start

Our dismantling of BC early in the year, for sure.

Banjo Bowl!

Being in row 3 behind the visitors bench, every game was fun in its own way. Hard to pick one in particular. So I?m going to say the banjo bowl because it?s just so much fun beating those green people.

Tough question.  No "MTL miracle game" type craziness this season.

I would say my favorite moment was when I was at the LDC, 4th Q and watching the rabid "we're gonna win" fans start deflating.  They were actually deflating right in front of my eyes well before I thought SSK was out of it.  I found that odd and entertaining.  They knew something I didn't, I guess!  That "we're gonna lose again" feeling.

The icing was the Leggs long hit to go ahead, and that final INT to seal the game.  My son went completely mental, visibly mental jumping up and down in front of all those greenies in his B&G jersey.  Hehehe.

Agree.  Was at that game with some apprehension but the Bombers dismantled BC early on in the game.  It was a fun time for a Bomber fan to be at BC Place!

Watching every meaningful game and genuinely expecting to win each and every one of them. Great feeling.

Winning at an amazing clip all season but the Edmonton thrashing was a treat to witness. Banjo Bowl was especially joyless.

So hard to pick one moment because there were so many!

That Greg McCrae TD catch was probably my play of the year. Took the pass interference and made the catch throught the defender anyway!

Game of the year had to be the Banjo Bowl. Crushing the Riders always feels the best.

Moment of the year for me goes back to game one in Winnipeg, where the injury spotters pull Zack Collaros out of the game leaving us with a cold Dru Brown who has barely played at all. Dru goes 3 for 3 for 51 yards to leave Leggs with a short kick for the win!

Player of the year was without a doubt Collaros. Pure leader and he commands the pocket better than anyone I've ever seen. He just sees guys coming but also sees the guys down the field somehow. I've watched NFL and CFL, pocket presence is HUGE and really seperates him from the Bethel Thompson's, Dane Evans, and the Maiers of the CFL. (best BB QB of all time?)

The first Bomber game in BC this season, wonderful to see them mow the Lions down and put Rourke in his place.  Was not expecting it to be that easy.  Secondly, all 3 games they beat Calgary, proved they will not take challengers to their crown lightly and will be ready to play when the chips are down.

This was absolutely the TSN turning point for the haters who wanted us to not be the best anymore. We proved we were and never looked back.

I live in Calgary but made it to Regina for the Labor Day Game and really enjoyed it! Also the game here in Calgary was a pretty good win. Wish I could have made it back to the Peg this year for at least one game but work commitments took me all over the place  and just could not get to the Peg this year.

I'd like to give some regular season appreciation to Buck Pierce. I think he deserves some credit for the success of our offence. I think he learned some crafty X's and O's from Lapo when he was learning from him and has combined that with the practical approach a guy who has played the game at a high level has. He knows what works and what is successful in the CFL. The mix of runs, sweeps, screens, short and long balls, and the unpredictability of what is coming next keeps opposing teams guessing and off-balance. I also believe that Buck's approach combined with O'Shea's special teams trickery serves to befuddle opposing D's even more. The trio of Buck, Richie, and O'Shea provide a unique skill set and level of experience that is unmatched by any other team in the CFL and is a big part of our success. When it comes down to scoring points, I would absolutely dread the prospect of trying to come up with a defensive scheme to stymie the Bomber offence. I honestly don't think it can be done.
