Who would have guessed that in the last few weeks we beat both TOR and BC in consecutive weeks, and then BC lose a gimmee at home vs CGY?  I mean, we all had a feeling we were good enough to win those 2 games, but we all remember our embarrassing chokes earlier in the season...

I guess it won't feel as good as an earned win vs EDM would have felt... maybe.  But, hey, if we still clobber EDM with Dru taking 90% snaps then that means we would have completely hosed them with Zach.

But hey, I'll take clinching 1st in W 18 hours early any day of the week.  It's about time some luck went our way.

I'll bring it up since it hasn't been mentioned yet: the Jets host Dallas that day at 3pm. Chances they'll start that game earlier to accommodate their ticket holders going to the WF as well?

The Jets game will be on Sportsnet at 300pm. That game is probably part of Sportsnet's national Saturday lineup so unlike the last time there was a conflict between the Jets and the Bombers this game might be harder to move the start time. This is a disaster for the Jets who are already struggling with attendance.

Not necessarily? last time we played Edmonton Zach got embarrassed and injured.  Dru had to save the day

Who cares about a reg season Jets game compared to the WF playoff game...C'mon man, no comparison!

I would think anyone who has Jets and Bombers season tickets would care.

Oops, I was trying very hard to forget.  I hope we studied that awful film real hard this week to avoid a repeat.  If they are getting pressure through at all we need to pull Zach.

Then maybe they can move the start time for the Jets game. The last thing the Jets need is another embarrassingly small crowd.

[Tiger]

Will they have something for Remembrance Day?
