Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Montreal - October 26, 2024

Also gotta hand it to MOS, taking the wind in the 4th won it for us.  Giving MTL the ball to start both halves was lame, but in the end it didn't matter.  We all know MOS likes to defer if there's any wisp of wind.  (I was a bit baffled when he didn't defer in the last TOR game.)

Looks like Army Hat is the new lucky hat.  He's been rolling with that one for several weeks.  I still prefer the ripped hat, but I'll be fine with this one.

Roberto Duran was something special. So grateful to have been able to follow his career. Ray Leonard didn't inspire me at all.

I think the Donny Lalonde match with Sugar Ray was a pure staged boxing match. Donny was a more athletic stronger heavier boxer....even thought so that at time time. Seemed rigged to me. I guess he took his million cut guaranteed from Don King and if he parlayed it properly, living the life since then!

One more thing, the wind kept blowing directly behind Castillo for his final kick if you check out the flags.  He put that kick basically dead down the center.

Or even take a time count penalty.....not thinking quickly enough on the fly! BIZARRO!

Unreal.

It would have been 10 yds.

It would have been 10 yds.

Yeah, but the wind could have slowed down by the time of the next play if they took a time count penalty. Totally speculation, but at that very moment it was BAD NEWS for Montreal. They needed Bob Cameron in there who was the master at kicking into the wind!

More so the implications of the game.

Can we and should we win? Of course. It's likely that Montreal is rotating people in the second half. The result should never be in question.

But the implications if we lose are huge. So, yup; I'm terrified.

Nothing to fear but fear itself

I think he is right to be nervous about this game. If the bombers do not win their path to the grey cup becomes that much harder. They are one point ahead of the Riders, so anything can happen here. Yes win and they are in, but I would be worried, as they are not the dominate team they were in 2019 and 2021 and no longer the "class" or dominate team in the west or league for that matter.
Should they win, yes, but the question is can they and will they.

We are the class of the West.  Keep dreaming.  Riders are average.  Worried when you have the best QB and RB in the land, never.  Best coached and most experienced club.  Bring it.

Yeah, but the wind could have slowed down by the time of the next play if they took a time count penalty.

Ya, but wind could have stayed for another 60s, then what do you do?  What happens if you take another TC?  Back another 10?  How many times do you repeat that until you give up and then you've given up all that field position!

No one knew at that moment the wind would last only 40s.

Everything I was afraid of pretty much happened, unfortunately.

All the cliches come out now!

It's NEVER OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER!

"Music" City miracle!!

Kindly Cal Murphy was smiling down from the heavens on that one...or Cactus Jack Wells! "Have a good good....GOOD HEAVENS!"   

Its been many years but I can clearly hear that old curmudgeon Cactus with his sign off after the happy honker award with the words..."And it turned out nice again!!!"

Great memories
