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 can't see any thread for this weekend's Lock Of The Week so I'll put my pick here.... Tommy Stevens. I'll go down with him, I guess. If I somehow missed this week's pick, then sorry.

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.

Schoen

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.

Why would Osh put Zach back in with a nearly severed finger tip sewed up & most of his throwing hand frozen in last year's Grey Cup? The decision was a disaster. Why would he play four players who were too injured to play in 2023 & had no business being on the field in the Grey Cup? Because Osh coaches with some kind of warped coaching code that he uses. Instead of playing Wilson or Dolegala, he throws Zach back in who tells the team in the huddle he's in trouble as he can't throw the ball. Then a year earlier, he plays injured guys like Bighill, Alexander, Schoen & Demski in the GC instead of his backupsd at least compete. We lose.... And Noeller wonders why poster here ask questions??? I don't blindly go this is The Trinity therefore they can't be questioned.

Technically, the Bombers are West division champions 5 straight years.

23 and 24 I’m a little more ok with. 22 will always be the one that pisses me off. There was no excuse for losing that game and it all turned after that stupid, stupid call to have Prukop chuck it down the field. Buck has any sense in his head at that point and we would have a 3peat, won in Regina of all places. I’ll never get over that one.

Trenches. Vanderpol has to stay in Need more DL options

But when the signs are there of continued stupidity of doing exact same things...why would you move on tho? If we fail.again it will be basically from the same issues and it's stems from the HC 5 straight trips...not 5 straight championships Anything can happen in one game.. And the same combination of things have literally happened in 3 straight avoidable defeats Guys say this player...or that player sucked...was a big reason...yet fail to put together the fact that they were not properly prepared to succeed...and hence looked bad...aka...coached/schemed When they perform well they likely were...you have some outlier incidents where a supreme talent and.effort will supersede anything...much like a inferior and declining player can have the best coaching and prep and just still suck...we have been a victim of both in all 3 losses...be it bad gMeplan and no adjustments...poor rostering...bad in game decisions and lack of trusted depth...which circles back to rostering all yr and.riding guys into the dirt all yr with no experienced viable depth behind them...but a buttload of st guys We been easily out coached in last 3...badly...will it be 4?? TBD

I think Vanterpool makes our oline better which is fine. Holding onto my take off Ayers and play a real DE or add another offensive player argument.

Did we just become the oldest team by avg now?

I can't believe we're still doing this to ourselves... Over and over with the GC losses. Christ. Zach buggers his ankle in the WF in 23. Zach shreds his hand in 24. Both total flukes and changed the situation dramatically. And injuries to Bighill, Schoen and others are absolutely massive to the outcome. But honestly... We need to move on. It's 5 straight Championships of the toughest division in Canadian football. Anything can happen in a one game, winner take all. All good, yo.
