Seems like everyone under the sun has no praise for the Bombers this year. All the broadcasters and analysts talk about in the West is SK being 4-0 and how poorly all the other teams are doing.
Very little talk about the Bombers generally speaking. I find most coverage of team Blue is a footnote at best.
Eh, that’s fine I guess. People thought we were dead last year after our 0-4 start, yet somehow we “surprised” everyone by storming back and taking #1 in the West and going to the Grey Cup for a 5th consecutive time.
Lots of games to go in the season and with the Grey Cup being in Winnipeg, I’m not going to be surprised when we make it 6 consecutive appearances and a championship win on home turf.
I am totally neutral and not biased at all. /s
I don’t follow much CFL analysis to be honest. I believe you when you say there isn’t much talk about the Bombers these days. I wonder if that’s because they’re such a dynasty, such a known commodity, that there’s an expectation they end up in the Western Finals while everything else in the West seems up in the air (and more of a current story).
It’s awesome the Grey Cup is in Winnipeg this year. I’m confident the Bombers will be there. What a party that’s going to be 😎
I think half the fanbase takes the Bombers for granted because they’ve been CFL mainstays, half wrote them off because they’re getting old, and the third half just wants to talk about Toronto.
Half + half + half…
