Winnipeg it is

After two stinging regular season losses the Lions will get another crack at them. Tomorrow we find out if i'ts home or away. Blitz, expecting an early look at this match-up soon. :wink:

Edmonton headed to Hamilton now.

Re: Winnipeg it is

I'm glad the Lions get another kick at the Bombers. Edmonton's Mike Reilly and his offensive weapons can try to do some damage to Hamilton.

The Lions need to win or tie against the Riders to get a home playoff game. Otherwise, they head to Winnipeg to face hostile crowd on what could be a cold and blustery November day. Those conditions would favour the Bombers and their ball-hawking secondary.

Our Leos really need to beat Regina. Our offensive style is designed much better for B.C. Place than the frozen tundra of Winnipeg. Also, the colder the day, the more it would work in favor of the Bombers defence. The Bombers short game offence is also more designed for the frozen tundra than ours is.

Had the Bombers lost we could have rested Jeremiah Johnson and a few others.

But if we were going to be playing a playoff game in the West I would prefer it to be at home and against Winnipeg. The Bombers beat us twice and we were in a great position to win both games. So its the matchup we should have - even though the Bombers defence is the most challenging defence that our offence can play - we love to make difficult throws and they love to intercept the football.

Re: Winnipeg it is

Hoping for a sell out or close to it.

I have been informed the lower bowl is 27,500.

I have not been able to find the official number.

Anybody know for sure ?

Sounds like a rounded number to me.

Re: Winnipeg it is

Is this the official game thread ?

Might just as well be.

LIONS 29
BOMBS 16

Here is why :

1 Tough to defeat the same team 3 x.
Both losses will have been a good lesson for the Lions as for what they did wrong.
There will be a motivation redemption and revenge.

2 Home crowd is an advantage.

3 Both D's are good , but the Lions have the advantage on O
To many offensive threats for the Bombs D to contain.

4 Team 100

5 Wally will out coach OShea.
