West Final...who do want the Bombers to face?

[GOLDMEMBER]

I would rather face the Lions for sure.
Rider D and Harris with his WRs are the bigger threat especially in cool weather.

Voted BC. They play cleaner.

This.  Considering we seem to lose a QB when we play Sask, I'd rather play BC

BC, followed by snow storm in 13 days

Home field advantage is probably worth 7 points. GO BOMBERS.

At least I'd say. Fan noise and a sold out stadium helps out a lot too.

Harris has WRs?  Who do they have?  Any league top-3 '24 FAs?  top-5?  top-10?

SSK WR corps is the weakest part of their team.  That's why SSK's entire game plan is dink & dunk.  They do entire games not throwing over 20Y.

Not scared of SSK RECs!  Not scared of SSK!  Stop the mullet, disrupt a few of the 10-15 play drives (hello Kramdi & Jones!), and we win easily.

Bonus: our bad DL pass rush doesn't hurt us vs SSK because Trevor throws within 2.5s 95% of the time.  There's literally nothing a DL can do except get in lanes and put their hands up.

If we face BC we'll have to figure out how to actually get to the QB.  Good luck with that.

I think the Riders downfall will be they go with Oulette in their backfield instead of Frankie Hickson. AJ is brutal. Stanback from BC will be pounding the ball for sure, Riders won't be able to match them with Oulette, and the dink and dunk is tough when it gets cold outside. Cold temps favour Brady Ball and I like our chances when its cold!!

I'm guessing it'll be the stinky dirtbag Riders even though I'd prefer the Lions.

Either way, the Bombers just gotta take care of business at home. They've done it for three straight seasons.

MY two sense. Bombers got really lucky on Saturday. No matter which team comes to play on the 9th, they are going to have their hands full. I personally hope its the Riders, but by no means is the WF going to be easy for the bombers.

[blue_gold_84]

Cents.

Considering this team was 0-4 and 2-6 before the midpoint of the season, I'd say resilience and perseverance played much larger roles than something intangible like luck when it comes to them winning the division for a fourth consecutive time.

Still have to win the division. Right now they are in first, playoffs will tell us who is the Western division champs. 
Just saying

I would love to see the Riders here for the Western Final if for no other reason that a Bomber-Rider game is always a great draw and has a higher interest level than a Bomber-Lions game. I think the marketing and interest will be at an all time high. A sold out Stadium and the Riders in for the Western Final would be a great day for everyone.

They took top spot with the best record in the west, so it's also fair to say they won the division in the regular season. And is something they've done four consecutive times now.

No need for pedantry.

Lions, easier to beat.

But the crushing the Riders would be sweet as well, I just don't trust they try an take out Collaros.

The Riders are just very unlucky.

Agree, they did not accept responsibility or show regret for the QB's they took this season and probably wouldn't alter their tune even if another Rider hero decided to step up and take out Zach with an "accidental" blow to the knees.
