IT'S OFFICIAL, WE ARE HEADING TO MTL

[Horseman]

BC just beat Sask, we are headed to Mtl which I think is better for us.

[Sway]

First time for everything.

Rather play Calgary but oh well

Take care of MTL next week, hopefully snow and lots of Wind

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I think Montreal is much worse for us then Calgary but I'd rather play Hamilton than the Riders the following week if we could somehow win the semi.

[Blueforlife]

Our Grey Cup is next week imo

Win that game and I think we have a shot

[Tecno]

Spoilers!

*Jason Hogan spends entire week drawing up 15 straight passing plays to start the game*

Who's going?  I may.  60/40 chance right now.  Looking at options.

One would think you'd have to travel there with a loss in mind... my excuse will be I like visiting MTL.  A win would then be gravy!

Sad but probably true. Just watched (probably his mentor) Buck Pierce refuse to call a running play until the game was all but over.

the good news is our defense has been getting better every game, I really like how the linebackers and secondary is playing. Woodbey is playing great, and Houston with Parker has made this secondary one of the best on the league if not the best

[GOLDMEMBER]

Strong D, ST, and consistent run game can very much win us this Montreal ball game.

That's true.  MBT isn't a slouch, and he can be a slinger, and we frazzled and sacked him all day.

And our backups looked great, especially on the DL.  I have faith that we're pretty deep should we run into bad luck in games (assuming we win so we can use the PR guys the next week).  We're not the best team this season, but we may be one of the deepest at this point.

How is it our so-called backups looked lights out better than our regular D line?? Sure it was a nothing game, but they looked REALLY better than our so called #1 guys. How is it we haven't seen Jenkins, even in a rotational basis ??

First of all he's only been here 3 weeks. He's a guy they brought up for a look during the extended PR time.

Second, he was facing a depth tackle and won a few reps. It's promising but it doesn't mean he's a world beater.

Lack of film.  PJ would say: "simple as"

See my expanded post in the GDT.  Any "secret sauce" by the noobs will be studied in the next 7 days and neutralized.  Don't get too excited by just 1 game!

However... I did kind of have a sense that Younger was maybe holding back on a plan to actually get pressure come the playoffs.  Make everyone think we only bring 3 all season, make them think our DL is hot crap... then go sack crazy come the semi-final.

But if I'm right: why show our hand in the final (nothing) game?
