Montreal is highly favoured for the Eastern Final Game....

Since Winnipeg is set just about in the middle of Canada on an east-west basis, the Blue Bombers are a fitting representative for the East in the Grey Cup Game. They've represented the East seven times already beginning in 1988. They can make it eight now in 2026!

This is Gamesmanship levels we havent seen in some time

Excited Zach and Moppy Dru.....

Body language expert in me tells me Dru is starting and they are doing a good bit of misdirection

They win, this will be an epic upset and good feather in Osheas cap

Last question to Zach is , if he doesn't go will he still be dressed as 3rd string? Zach says I don't know. Interesting

Zach came off a couple of weeks on the IR in late August and beat the Als the last time he faced them, here's hoping he can replicate his best game of the season and rise to the challenge one more time.

Don't think so, but FFO came out with a Brady line this week.

Zach speaks like a leader and confident. Dru, not so much. He needs to brush up on that if he wants to lead.

I did love this clip though having both of them in it..so good. Zach does not look hurt though.. but maybe that is the misdirection too.

ESF game day!

This is all gravy to me based on how we looked for alot of this year.

I find when I come in with lower expectations the Bombers seem to play well.

I feel like the broken record but the Bombers cannot continue to beat themselves with turnovers and devastating penalties.

Brady must have 20 touches minimum while receivers need to eliminate the EZ catch drops looking at you White and Nield.

My god both lines have a tough challenge on their hands.

The DL MUST get in Alexanders face and get some solid contact. Need to get into his head. DBs must lock down as best they can though I think this will be extremely difficult.

OL must give whatever playing QB reasonable time. Condell must call the game of his life vs Thorpe's excellent strategies.

ST Sergio cannot miss any kicks and the coverage units to contain to flourish which they have! No shanks from Sheehan either.

Like I said gravy, lower expectations, but we have a chance and we have beaten this squad this year.

GO BOMBERS!

Somehow despite all the grumbling O'Shea's teams almost always over achieve. I don't think we're amongst the top teams in terms of talent but we've got a punchers chance yet again.

Quote from: Jesse on November 06, 2026, 02:21:10 PMMan, this is frustrating - assuming it's not gamemanship.

Collaros is too injured to practice for multiple weeks but the hours before gametime is going to get him to full health?

The guy is a 38 year old vet. He doesn't need to practice anything or learn the playbook.

Even if healthy I would have given him the week off.

If he plays, give him a short rope. But that's not MOS's style.

I don't care who you are, if you're not practicing your skills, you're not going to be at your best. We've watched this team repeatedly rest Zach late in the season and have him save his absolute worst performances for the playoffs.

And every other player is not a 38 year old vet and needs to practice together to be an effective team.

The bombers have been inconsistent this year. For every big game, it's been followed by a disappointing loss.

We (the fans) seem to be high this week. This year when I've felt like the team was turning it around, it was followed by a loss.

I'm fully expecting us to lose by 14+. If we win this, it will be the biggest bomber playoff upset in a long time. I'm thinking since 2000 when we upset Hamilton.
