The regular season in the CFL is coming to a close, and teams in playoff contention are scrambling to develop and/or keep a rhythm so as to find success, and make a trip to the Grey Cup in November. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are doing this quite well as of late, currently on a four-game win streak with only one game remaining in the regular season.
Yes, their final game after this bye week will be against the West-leading Stampeders, who have been the class of the CFL yet again. However, it's more than likely the Stamps will rest most of their starters in said game, having already clinched the division and a first-round bye, and so on. For the Blue Bombers, the season looked several weeks ago like it was becoming our of reach, with Matt Nichols' inconsistent play at the time, as well as a defence that looked downright confused.
Fast forward five weeks, and the Bombers look like a different team. Nichols is spot on and not committing any silly turnovers, the defence looks like it has the best pass rushing in the CFL, and everything is moving along like a well-oiled machine. If you're going to go on a winning streak, now is a good time. Momentum like this is needed for a sustained playoff push, and of course, a Grey Cup championship.
Here's hoping.
