WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats have vastly different jobs now that the regular CFL season is done. Authentic Cheap NFL Jerseys . The Tiger-Cats (10-8) are preparing for a playoff push after a commanding 37-7 whipping of the Bombers Saturday afternoon. "Ill be shocked if were not ready to play," coach Kent Austin said after the Ticats overcame a slow start to completely dominate the final three quarters. They have home-field advantage in the Eastern semifinal against the Montreal Alouettes. "Any type of confidence you can get, you need it, and were a confident group right now," said quarterback Henry Burris. "But we know its going to take a lot of hard preparation to get in focus for us to go out and win that game next week." Burris completed 17 of 24 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns before Austin let him rest late in the game. He also didnt throw any interceptions, one of his weak stats this season. "He seemed like he completed a bunch of footballs," said Austin. "I dont know what his stats were but he made great reads, delivered the football, threw a couple of touchdown passes, (Im) really pleased with the way he played." Burris threw both touchdown strikes to Onrea Jones. Chevon Walker and C.O. Prime ran for two more and the Ticats picked up nine points on field goals. After managing just two field goals and a single, the Bombers (3-15) need to build a team prior to 2014, starting with a quarterback. Max Hall, at best third on the Bomber depth chart at the start of 2013, was left as their starter as the season ground to a close. Saturdays disaster, with fumbles, blocked throws and defensive miscues, while a disappointing end, wasnt much of a surprise to anyone. "Thats kind of the way this seasons gone," said coach Tim Burke, the last survivor of the trio that led the Bombers into this season. General manager Joe Mack and president Garth Buchko have already paid with their jobs. Burkes future is, at best, uncertain. "Were playing the cards were dealt," said defensive back Brandon Stewart. "We had a bad season. Theres no sugar coating it. Weve just got to come work in the off-season and see where it goes from there." What that off-season holds is anyones guess, although there is hope Winnipeg will score a starting quarterback with the Ottawa dispersal draft in the wings. One of Winnipegs best players this season, middle linebacker Henoc Muamba, continued to shine in the losing effort with nine tackles, easily topping 100 for the season. He has been named the teams most outstanding player, most outstanding Canadian and most outstanding defensive player. But hes also far from certain to return after failing to sign a new contract. "Its a possibility, its up in the air right now," was all he would say Saturday. Burke admitted there may be some relief throughout the organization now that the season is over and the team can look towards a building phase. This years finish ties the worst on record in the 18-game era, set under former head coach Jeff Reinebold, now Hamiltons special teams co-ordinator. Hamiltons finish meanwhile is their first since 2001 to break into double digits on the win side. The announced attendance Saturday was 26,316, the lowest this season including the pre-season, at Investors Group Field, the Bombers new $200-million home. As for actual fans in seats, despite a sunny day with temperatures that climbed to about nine during the game, the number was well under the announced figure. It dwindled even more by the end of the game.
