Who else has been watching highlights on repeat the last 36 hours?

Love this team. Let's go!!

Ok, so we all remember the much maligned offence from this season. MOS took a lot of heat for not playing any starters in the pre-season, letting vets take too many days off without competing for spots, letting injured players take starting roles without practicing, etc. etc.

We had a slow start. Constant, devasting injuries to out receiving core made it worse. And Brady's off-season injury and subsequent re-injury took him awhile to get him revved up.

All that in mind, here are Zach's numbers from the first 10 games of the season(excluding weeks 4-5 which was predominantly Strev):

2646 yards (264/game); 7 TDs; 13 INTs; 210/311 (68%)

The last 7 games (including the WSF):

1936 yards (277/game); 14 TDs; 2 INTs; 143/191 (75%)

If you were following StatJunkie's drive compilations, we were always doing just fine between the 20's. But were not scoring TDs the way the other top teams were. Over the past few week (buoyed by a couple high scoring games) our numbers have been night and day.

First thing I did Sunday morning was watch the entire TV broadcast.

[Zach Schnitzer]

At BC Place, the site of this year's Grey Cup  Zach Collaros is a career 5-1, with 12 TDs to 4 INTs, averages 321 passing yards, a completion percentage of 71%, and has a QB rating of 111.74. Pretty gaudy numbers in the dome.

I wait for Waders27 to post the broadcast on YouTube, I can't stand sitting through the commercial breaks for the second time when I already know the outcome.

I am looking forward to Lapolice video showing what Zach/Buck et al did, that was new.

To me Frequently looked like the Sask D backfield was confused and mixed up as to who was doing what.

Argos sign QB Bryan Scott.

[Pigskin]

We will have to contain Grant. OL can not give up 7 sacks like we did the last time we play the Argos. Get pressure on Arbuckle. Arbuckle doesn't run much, or all that well. Turnovers will be key in this game. Arbuckle is known for throw his share of interceptions. Last 2 season, 4 TDs, 7 INTs.

As per Darren Cameron the Bombers will be wearing their blue jerseys.

[Pete]

they should call this one the "who do you hate more" grey cup
Winnipeg cause were in it AGAIN
Toronto  cause they are TORONTO

As per Darren Cameron the Bombers will be wearing their blue jerseys.

What about the pants?

Arbuckle doesn't run at all.  He'll run less than Zach.  And besides, Dinwiddie will have him under strict instructions to not run past the LoS without a 3s-too-early hook slide.  They don't want to be down another QB's tibia.

[TecnoGenius]

What about the pants?

Knowing the BB, they'll wear exactly what they wore in WDF.  So blue & blue.  Hopefully TOR is forced to wear whites as the "away" team, otherwise there'll be waaaay too much blue in that stadium.

WPG never changes their jersey between WDF and cup.  Superstition.  I'm more concerned with what hat MOS will wear!  I think it's the army one, which seems to be the new lucky hat.

WFC should auction the previously-lucky ripped hat for charity.  I'll bid!

[gobombersgo]

What about the pants?

No mention.

Darren has since deleted the tweet. I am sure they will still be wearing the blue jerseys but the team may want to make the announcement through their official channels.
