Don't ever question The Trinity. They walk on water. They are beyond reproach. I see no difference between losing three straight Grey Cups as compared to 3 straight Western Finals. Losing is still losing.

Bradys back, Bighill gonna see ghosts, LETS ******* GO!!!!!!!

Hello Went down a rabbit hole one Sunday night and dug up the W/L numbers as starters for Collaros and Flutie (didn't have to go digging for Mitchell's with the milestone he just hit). Was sharing them with Noeller and 17to85 but thought maybe some of you might have interest. These are all current. Win/Loss on a single team (minimum 50 Starts) Flutie (Stamps) - 63 Starts - 50 W - 13 L. .794 winning percentage Mitchell (Stamps) - 117 Starts - 90 W - 25 L - 2 T. .778 winning percentage Collaros (Bombers 2019 - present) - 66 Starts - 51 W - 15 L. .773 winning percentage All time Win/Loss Flutie - 105 Starts - 78 W - 27 L. .743 winning percentage Mitchell - 143 Starts - 100 W - 41 L - 2 T. .706 winning percentage Collaros - 132 Starts - 85 W - 47 L. .644 winning percentage A few observations. I have given Bo 1 win for his 2 ties. Fluties only real losing was to start his career in BC. And even that was only for 1 year. You can see his numbers with the Stamps, and by my count the 2 years he was an Argo, they went 15-3 both years. The only way to spin that Bo wins more than Flutie is to use the "fastest to 100 wins" when we know Flutie didn't play enough to get 100 wins. I was curious when I put this together if Bo's record was actually better than Flutie's. We can see its not, and isn't really that close. I guess when he first left Calgary, it was but he's dropped off since then. And Zack's run in Winnipeg... When he left Hamilton after 2017, he was 24-27 as a starter (even coming here he was only 34-32 as a starter after Sask), and since that time has somehow willed his way into the conversation here. Collaros would have been #1 on the team chart until 2024 happened. Almost half of all his losses as a bomber were in 2024. Mathematically he can't get to 100 wins in less than 143 (absolute best he can do now is 147), but I could see him passing Bo for all time wins or winning percentage all time. Flutie is probably untouchable, and I'm okay with that.

Time for another 2 - 6 start. #forthew

For f sake I'm agreeing with you on the argo’s having the balls and onions to make the tough decisions that helped win them the cup. Paying the Argos a compliment in any fashion or form is not an easy thing to do. We will never know if it would have resulted in us ultimately winning the cup but it doesn’t matter, the correct decision to put the team in the best possible situation to succeed was to sit ZC after hurting his hand. Full stop as some would say.

He wants to be in North Carolina? Washington? Tampa I see for taxes. This seems to be taking longer than you’d expect though. Are teams looking at his injury history, and until recently, lack of playoff scoring and starting to wonder?

He doesn’t want to be here.

so you can use an if when it suits your opinion?... Winning the east apparently is a joke...guess we a bigger joke then as those jokesters best us 3 yrs straight...and "technically" if not for a stupid single point given up....the Cats bet us in the second cup with a field goal as they drove the field on our gassed defense that game ....or "if" Nichols doesn't make that out of this world tip in the end zone, to force the tieing field goal....if's go both ways and ther's 2 ifs that almost had us losing 4 straight If's go both ways whereas the Argo's had the onions to put in a nobody unproven guy at QB to beat us...a big/smart coaching decision that worked in the big game...we decide to put out a QB who wasnt getting it done.....then almost rips his fore finger off...the most important for a throwing QB btw...we numbed it...slapped on a glove...which he never threw with before...ever....and he admittedly said could not throw effectively when we had Dolegala who HAS played in the league and won games....or Wilson who could have pulled a Chad Kelly....so a big/stupid coaching decision that cost us....again..... you could go back to the other Cup too where ZC had a bum ankle and couldnt run...let alone plant properly to throw...and it was very obvious....yet we kept him in all game while we had a QB we developed...who everyone on this sit pretty much lamented us letting go...a guy who had playtime and again could have had that Arbuckle/Kelly moment...yet we made the dumb decision not to...and it cost us...and that wasnt the only dumb decision in that one either.... so for some posters with a lil bit of knowledge wanting to question and criticize the Dear Leader Osh for the same dumb things over and over....is totally warranted....especially when we already this yr are seeing more of the same ol same ol....yeah but...some will cry out...we 3-0....shutup already about the yeah but's as yeah buts dont win cups may be true, but is coach had the balls to make a move when he saw his team needed a spark....or something wasnt working, and they were sipping out of the Cup shortly after....there's the difference...the Argo HC had the faith and trust in his players to play...unlike "everyone is a starter thats why they here" HC guy....so other he is feeding us a nice load of B.S....Or he doesnt believe what he says himself we avg 127 yards on ground per game...and 253 thru air....hardly 1 dimensional Take out the best passing performance and rushing game we average 90 on ground and 212.5 thru air...again....not 1 dimensional by any stretch trust me guys could care less about the division...its a nice lil bonus but means nothing if you cant finish....we in all honesty if didnt have such a stubborn I am smarter than everyone HC should be gunning for 6th straight win and be considered one of the best teams...with 80 percent same roster...ever....unheard of in this day and age....but thats not how we looked at

Mean **** tho...ask any player

It’s no different than the other gc loses in the 2000s. Winning the division final is not the goal or some great achievement that wipes out losing 3 gcs in a row. It’s gonna be a thing for a long time. Pissing away gc games isn’t all good. If you are happy with participation ribbons that’s great for you. Most fans especially the type to be forum goers are not that type. We had the ability to be the greatest dynasty in cfl history, and threw it away because our team didn’t want it enough to do what it took to win it.

Whoops! Never saw this until now. Don't know how I missed it. My pick Tommy Stevens. Mods, please remove my post asking where Lock Of The Week 5 is. Thank you....

I wish Bob all the best. All these great sports broadcasters & writers are leaving us (retiring or dying) with really no one coming up behind. It's sad. We really should... PAY THE MAN!!! We'll never find his goal scoring anywhere now.

Defensively, you still have to pressure the qb to make bad decisions & throws. You don't just give up & say, he's too fast for us getting the ball off so why bother? Really, who is truly fast? Harris, Adams, Kelly, Zach, Rourke, Brown (when he plays), Davis Alexander can zing it. Of those, I'd think there's only 3 guys you can truly say have quick releases. But they still get hurried, hit & sacked.

Kelly got lucky. Maybe we would have won if Liegghio had made that field goal but it was blocked. As they say in baseball, the ball was low & a little outside. It was going wide before it was blocked. Our kicker looked absolutely spooked as he lined up to kick. Lol. I get it but all 3 losses pissed me off.

Bombers don’t seem to put as much emphasis on the d line like some fans perhaps hope for but the D is prob ranked 1 or 2 in most categories minus sacks but sacks seems to be down league wide, QBs are getting rid of the ball quicker. So is the D and who they dress or don’t dress really a problem or just a few folks would prefer more emphasis on sacks I suppose. Cuz our D is pretty good regardless of who plays. the O tho. Yeah. Without Brady our O is 1 dimensional and crappy. Him being back should help tremendously

Oh I agree with all that too, just personally the 22 game angered me the most of the 3, by far.

Another addition of Top 10 Plays of the Week. Anything snubbed from the list? https://youtu.be/21S0t6Z2Q8Y?si=d7jnbz_arSDmLJyX

He just pulled off arguably the best play of his CFL career with a huge run. He didnt really do all that much after or before that.

That makes no sense. We "broke" MBT therefore we lost as the backup Chad Kelly who never played suddenly figured our defense out in two series? If only we hadn't chased MBT out then (sigh) we'd have won.... We'd have won. If that is indeed true, that's an embarassment.

This.... And there's no technically. We are the West Division Champs 5 years running. Winning the east is a joke... Winning the West... That's a challenge. And as for 22.... We broke MBT and that ended up costing us the game. If MBT stays in, we win that game.
