I love taking shots on 2nd and short... but you can not lose yards. Nothing there then the ball goes into the 5th row.

Yes, but situational awareness.....I like an attempt at times, but almost the end of the half really tight game, in field goal range, not the time...IMO....you run, you keep the clock going. Yes I understand they are good against the run, even if you don't get it you are set up for a FG....IMO I am seeing a pattern of Hogan going against traditional thinking and trying only what I can describe as trying to be too smart.....There are times, but there is also times to just stick with tried and true traditional thinking....at least this is my ,2 cents

The other thing to consider is that Zach has always been less than great at the short passing game. He's a mid to deep guy. Now we're in a situation where we seem to only be able to run a poor man's lapo offense which is just not suited for collaros at all.

We can dream.

considering our system, the wrs not working well with zach, how frequently he was hit last night and the fact we couldn’t and didn’t try to run, zach did every thing and more you could ask. Yes his arm is significantly reduced from what it was, and his tendency to hold it too long hurts us some times. but he did what you need to do to win considering the position he was in. Oc, then kola, then wrs. that’s the hierarchy of problems on our O imo. after that it’s qb depth. thing is, a better oc could have our wrs atleast working back to zach or playing scramble rules properly, and put guys in better position to be used. If you fire hogan tomorrow and promote jackson, bench kola, and have a real battle for the starting wr spots, i think you see our offence improve drastically and quickly.

Zach has lost yards on 2nd and short multiple times. Just more of the stupid self inflicted **** they do to themselves. They're still doing things on hard mode when they don't have the horses to overcome it anymore.

and yet hasn’t even been reliable at snapping this year

The other second and short pass went for a TD.

After that 2nd and inches call where Zack took a sack. I said those are the plays that end up being keys to victory/defeat. Hogan got too fancy and decided he knew better than 99% of coaches. Just another idiotic call that im sure he'll blame on the players.

Kolo after snapping the ball:

Thought after schmekel got hurt the tackles got gassed badly, especially Thomas and the effectiveness nose dived, particularly against the run. Honestly this game was only close because of a pants on head ******** penalty by a rider db... 3rd and 14 and you take a PI penalty near your endzone? That's embarrassing. It was a classic death by 1000 stupid things. Backbreakingly ill timed penalties... giving a first down being offside on a punt, giving up 2 first down plays on penalties... those IMO lost them the game more than anything. The OL was ******* gross. Was a play early on neufeld looks to pass off a guy to Kolankowski and neither guy blocks anyone and collaros has a guy right right at him unimpeded.... what the **** do these guys donin practise?

Nah. Osh is a d*ck

Upon reflection, I feel like Zach is the least of our problems right now. We have a few players playing at or above expectations and most everyone else ranges from meh to terrible.

Comments on the game from the cheap seats (my big ass recliner): Is Nichols playing injured? It sure looked like it last night. I've watched a lot of CFL this season and it looks like all of the O-linemen (usually our opposition) must have taken that league seminar on holding very seriously.😉 Anyone else notice that Hardricke seems to "jump up" on basically every play. Illegal Procedure? Why would the Bomber Tall Foreheads hire a novice OC when the Grey Cup is here this season? Streveler in on first and goal and then leaving him in on second and goal was a puzzler. Where was Collaros? Where was Oliveira? There was another instance where it was second and very short and a Collaros roll-out/pass was called resulting in a sack. Yikes! Even the 2-point convert attempt call had me scratching my head. The OC is in way over his head, IMO. This isn't uni or junior football. Collaros made a couple of beauty tosses to the end zone but more often than not he's guilty of underthrowing the ball. Although his underthrow of Demski near the end resulted in the PI and a chance to tie/win. Schoen definitely came up lame on the 2-point attempt. It makes me wonder about the team docs. If a missed RTP can be challenged (I think), why can't a missed face mask call (very obvious) be challenged? Or, did SK think it wasn't worth it? Kolankowski made a nice block (and ball spike) on Oliveira's TD. However, for the bulk of the game, he was totally out of it. Seriously, I saw him literally standing around disengaged on most plays. The guy seems less than a pylon. Anytime that I see two of our Canuck DTs on the field at the same time, I cringe. It's amazing but with all of the coaching blunders (I really think that we're a poorly coached and prepared team.) and the lack of adequate talent a certain positions, we were still in the game. And, since this is the CFL....just make the playoffs and....You got to love the CFL! I'll be at the Banjo Bowl with my wife (She's not been to one.) and I'll be joining the chorus in making life miserable for Harris et al. Go Bombers Go!

Some guys will have to retire before we do that.

Famed Tennessee sheriff who inspired Hollywood movie killed his wife investigators say

Just finished watching. Far too many times it felt like lapo was calling the plays We beat ourselves all the time and we have a winning record

that is a massive gap to over come 100%

That's an awful big if

As usual everyone losing their minds... Need some time to cool off. Osh wasn't a **** to DT. He was polite the first time, and DT pushed it knowing full well Osh doesn't talk about injuries, and then Osh got very blunt. It should have been let go after the first attempt. Let's worry about getting a split (as almost everyone here said they'd be good with going into today...) and then move on to Ottawa/Hamilton...

Thank you. Jackson should be the OC.

Honestly if you give ZC a clean pocket I think we win that game. C'est la vie.

Because Kyle Walters created this **** by hiding under a rock during free agency. Letting too many of our quality free agents go & then not signing anyone as good or better. Now as fans we're expected to believe Walters can fix this mess? Then there's Osh & his roster mgmt which we lament game after game after game & nothing changes. That's mgmt. Some of our veterans are not playing well. Neufeld totally whiffed his block in the first quarter. It's lucky Zach didn;t get hurt. Wallace struggled. Zach was under pressure all game long. Things aren't improving for our OL as the season goes on. Our secondary got lit up in the second quarter, especially. I haven't seen this much chasing of receivers by our defensive backs since 2015 or 16. We play a 3 man front featuring you know who #95 way too much. Not convinced Dalton Schoen should be playing yet as he still looks like he favours his bad leg, especially on that 2 point conversion attempt. To me, Osh is panicking as he had no other options. I also think rushing Schoen back is a mistake as it'll just make him susceptible to reinjuring his knee again. Thanks for that, Kyle. What a bang up job you did as a GM last winter letting Lawler go. What does Nichols not understand about getting his ass out of the end zone? He stepped to his right & ran laterally getting tackled for a safety. Had he just stepped forward he'd have made it out to the one yard line. Peyton Logan should be cut. He's done nothing. Speaking of being cut, Hogan should be removed as OC & start carrying Jarious Jackson's playbook around everywhere he goes then maybe he'd learn something. He's just an awful play caller. Brady is being wasted out there. Hogan just gave up on the run game by mid second quarter. Opps, too hard. Not working today... Instead of keeping at it. Pounding Brady to wear down the Riders D. But we know Osh, he'll circle the wagons & growl at the media & fans alike like he did tonight. Yet do nothing.

honestly it’s a better spot to do a flea flicker or some thing high risk.

Well, it was a hot, but fun atmosphere at the game ...we made it exciting at the end..,..but the lack of a run game....before the half on 2nd down.....all we should have done is run Brady.....that Playcall IMO was the game.....
