Yeah what a great game. After a subpar year (to put it mildly) on the field for the product, I'm happy the playoffs were so entertaining. Good for the league for sure, and for exposure. I'm sure that wacky play to seal it will make the rounds on ESPN down south.
That's gotta sting for the Tiger-Cats blowing that lead, especially in their own barn like that. Looked for sure like they had it. I didn't really care who won as I don't mind either team, but with the amount of Riders fans in my life right now, and learning just how much they truly hate Winnipeg sports teams (and Winnipeg in general it seems), it's amusing to me how mad they must be that the Bombers have held the title since 2019 lol. So I'm happy about that.
Also, from a longtime Stamps fan's point of view, is anyone a little bitter at how when teams like Winnipeg are the best in the league, they simply win titles and repeat? I'm not going to cry about playoff futility when I've witnessed my team win 6 Grey Cups and play in 12 Grey Cup Finals in my time as a fan, but it's frankly crazy they haven't managed to repeat with how many dominant teams they had in the 90s and 10s. Like why is it so much harder for us to do this when we're the best team?? No-one else seems to have these playoff struggles when they're on top of the league [emoji24]
