Playoffs

Re: Playoffs

Any team can win on any given day, but we've seen how having the Grey Cup in your own barn can be a tough dance to get to. We DID make it in 2002, however nobody's won it in their own stadium since 1994, and only 3 teams have won in their hometown since Toronto did it 1952 (when EVERY Grey Cup was in Toronto it seemed):

1972 - Hamilton
1977 - Montreal
1994 - BC

That puts pressure on Montreal to win the Eastern Final, so they can be beat....

Has anyone won the grey cup that has used the cross over before?

No, as a matter of fact I don't think a crossover team has ever won a playoff game. (could be wrong about that though)

Re: Playoffs

I think there have been about three crossover teams (Sask and BC were the teams involved), and they all lost. But I don't know if any of them actually had better records than the teams they played in the ESF. So, I'm not all that concerned about the previous crossover teams' performances.

I'm still slightly optimistic. Winnipeg is very beatable. And if we win that, who knows? Weird things can happen in a single game. We went into the '05 playoffs with DM as coach and on a downer, and look what happened.

Very true, but we can only tempt fate for so long with DM as the coach....

I don't know. The Bombers are hot right now and seem to be peaking at the right time.

We need to get our crap together.

Re: Playoffs

I heard someone saying this morning that DM's a genius for lulling the Bombers into a false sense of security...that since we were in the playoffs anyways...we'd try a new tactic. Needless to say the guy is about as sharp as a sack of wet mice, but knowing DM...that's almost a dumb enough idea that he would come up with.
