Is there 1 sane individual out there that truly believes the Bombers will win the next 3 games- including 2 at the Rogers Centre?
I don't even feel like being a casual fan of this team anymore until it gets new ownership.
To me, the season is already over. They're finished.

Ownership is the problem. Ownership hires the coaches, yes, no?
I'm confident once Asper is the owner, he'll turn things around. I'm sure he's just as sick of seeing the Bombers blow it every year as we are...

Nice to see your so optimistic about Winnipeg's chances in the playoffs. I think they can pull off winning the East. Not so sure about the Grey Cup though.

The bombers can and i believe will be in the grey cup. The bombers have beat every team in the playoffs. Everybody says they're sucking now (true) and that they have no shot, but in the first half we were great and everybody was saying this is the best team. So if a team can go from great to above average then that SAME TEAM can go from above average to great again!!!!

you know BT, u slam american fans for not going to NHL games and SUPPORTING their teams when they use the "ownership" excuse. you also go on to say that you support the team thru thick and thin. yet you come here and say the exact opposite? what happens to you when the new jets come back and they go trough a losing season or two?....you gonna blame ownership as YOUR excuse to not show up? be careful when you post....everybody reads your stuff man. do not be a hypocrite. and yes, i know you have stated yourself as a casual fan....but you hit them too when it comes to the NHL in american markets.

What team? The Bombers? Never said that mcguire. PROVE these things k? When you don't, you just waste everyone's time.
Nope. I'll go to games whether our team is in first of last.
I'm a die-hard Goldeyes fan. I don't care if they're in last or first, I want to go to as many games as I can. And I do.
I'm glad everyone reads my posts. Delighted; overjoyed. But I'm no hypocrite.
The Bombers stink, and have for the past 15 or so years. The stadium sucks. The management sucks. The team chokes every single year. And most of the die-hards I've found to be very, very delusional.

I will say my confidence level in the Bombers to make the grey cup is pretty low. I'm fairly sure they can get past Montreal with all their starters. But I doubt they'll be Toronto, especially in the Rogers Center.
The Bombers have continually improved the past 4 years. I hope they improve again next year.

bt... when i said you support your team thru thick and thin i was meaning that is what you have been telling the american fans in the NHL. you know the ones...the fans of the blues, the hawks.....basically anybody that has an NHL team. sorry if that line was confusing. now it isnt. and i'll tell you something else...smart guy, your the delusional one...i remember a while back you were jumping at every thread that gave the impression that we were gonna land a team...remember the lightning??...you jumped all over that one. delusional...who are you to tell people they are delusional. listen, im not a huge bombers fan myself, but i would never tell someone they are delusional for following them, just like im not calling you delusional for following a semi - pro baseball team! have a good night.

I'm sure BT supports the Bombers. He just sounds like a pissed off fan. If I had a nickel for every time I put down the Jets when they blew a lead or lost a key game, I'd probably be a millionaire! I never hated the Jets, of course. I just got too emotionally involved sometimes. I still remember the disappointment I felt as a kid when they blew the 3-1 lead against the Oilers in the 1990 playoffs.

I could understand the Jets never competing for the Stanley Cup. I mean come on... they played in a 26 team league and the playing field was very uneven... but the CFL consists of 8 teams... and the Bombers haven't been the best of those 8 teams since the year 1990....
Technically shouldn't we have accidentally won a Grey Cup by now?

OMG the season isnt even over yet.....Come on a little team support guys. Typical Winnipeg mentality. We suck, Whine, moan,whine. The Freaking Riders have their first home game since '88. And to bash the riders in the Gap would be sacrilige. Yea we didnt get first in the East, We still have home field. I know that the second half of the season wasnt pretty. But guys this is OUR team!! So sunday, throw your blue and gold on, crack that blue, and try to hop back on the bandwagon even if its just for the day. If we loose, then you guys can get back to how much we suck. But before that a little support would be nice

Me to, see you in 2 years!
I personally think the Bombers can and will still win the cup this year. First we have Montreal and if we can just get it together, if Glen can get it together and our defence can continue to stand tall we will win. The biggest problem right now is the recievers but I know Milt will raise his game tommorrow hopefully the others will as well.

Technically shouldn't we have accidentally won a Grey Cup by now? We did in 1988,so since 1984 we avg 1 Grey Cup every 7.33 years,now thats better then winning 1 every 8 or 9 years if every team won one in a row. The Bomber's like most teams win Cups in Streaks and then vanish from the big game for awhile.1984/88/90 and then nothing.Before 1984 they had not even been to the game for like 20 years making that Brock Busters game even more meaningful. Fans in this city are like fans in most city's,a bunch of whiners who try and find an excuse for everything,they win too many cups and it gets old,they never win anymore and not getting my support,the ownership sucks,the player's suck,it's too cold,the stadium is in ruins and I don't want to put my bum on a bench. Like holy Go Jets Go Buzz and Boomerman,all they need to do is win 3 games just like either Mtl,Cal or Sask need to do,Tor or BC need to win 2 games,but that may be harder to do with a bye week. I think the naysayers from the Winnipeg Jets,have finally spread their disease over to Bomberland. Lets just make this easy,the NHL will never come back,the Blue will never win a playoff game again,the Eyes will fold with the rest of the NL,it's a freaking game,enjoy it will you can. Their do I finally sound like a whiner like everyone else. I give up with ppl in this City.
