We're in!!!

Simply put, this is what happens when you play not to lose.

We finally get to watch the game at home today. So no matter what happens it will still be a good day. 300 passing today for our QB .? Go Bombers

This is so insane of a statement I can't even understand what you're a talking about. Not only is he BY FAR the best in the league right now, he is the best there has ever been.... Period. He is the very definition of the word "legend"... He's the most respected CFL media guy among his peers in the league. As both a fan, and someone who dissects radio broadcasts for a living, I can tell you better than most that Bob Irving is OUTSTANDING.

I totally get people feeling dejected and pessimistic after losses like this especially when they are not isolated instances...and I totally get people choosing to remain positive even after losses like this regardless how often they occur. What I will never get is people seeming to taking negative comments directed at the team personally and lashing out at commenters.

Great news. I hope this means your wife is doing better.

Did they forget what happened last time we played them? And if we had the benefit of only playing 3 quarters against Montreal there would have been no troubles either.

At least he shows up for 60 minutes.

I said it before and I'll say it again, the coordinators for this team are the single biggest thing holding them back. That's 2 games for sure and probably 3 that they've cost us by being entire too passive.

No stars. This franchise is ******* evil. HH to me for putting up with this trash for 25 years.

He's got the first down and more!!! Looks to be a yard short!! A long yard maybe two!!!

O'Sh blew it on the last drive in my view. Should have taken the holding penalty and forced a longer field. And call your timeout when your D was in complete disarray and we got schooled. And the defensive performance was horrendous. If we had played prevent defense properly we win. Wrap up and tackle. Ugh.

Well he did get two sacks and played a key role in shutting down the Als rushing attack. I'm a lot more concerned about why the secondary looked so discombobulated in the fourth quarter.

If the players don't understand their assignments then that is on coaching. Hall is the DC so it ultimately falls on him.

I think the bottom line for me is, did Streveler leave any plays on the field in the second half? And to me the answer is no. He absolutely did not light it up but once again he was put in a position to fail by his co-ordinator. And I’m sympathetic to Nichols in the sense that Lapo also does him no favours while still being convinced Streveler is both better and gives this team a better chance to win.

They were both the problem.

The D has continually made plays to win even in games that don’t flatter them. Hecht INT in this one another example. The O literally took a knee on that half, and by scheme. Took 0 risks and generated 2 FG attempts, one from midfield.

Classic Lapo ultra-conservative with the lead bullshit telegraphed obvious play calling coupled with Richie Hall trash defense. Unreal.

First half stars: Harris Streveler DLine 2nd half nobody friggen showed up. The conservative BS by our coordinators is pathetic. We should have won this game by 30.

No lead is safe with a Hall D. Deplorable play in the back end.

I agree, momentum like like lost them the Toronto game, they need to come out in the 2nd half and stomp on the Al's throats again.

Yes doing better, lots do yet with her recovery but hopefully we can do most of it at home now. It was a long month in the HSC An yeh no more parking fees.

Love Khari but I can’t wait to see our guys smash his yappy team to smithereens.

It changes from week to weak..

We brought my 9 year old daughter and some friends(plus all her cousins and grandparents) to a game in Edmonton for her bday. I talked to the bombers social media guy about how it was her bday party at the game and they treated us like royalty. The girls got to enter from the team dressing room and stand at the bench during warm up. The players came and wished her happy bday and then Whitehead gave her the game ball after the game for her bday. Some of the players gave the other girls at the party some gloves and other swag too. It was honestly the best bday party ever because of the way we were treated.....

Sorry dude - trying to blame this on on the ref's failure to call what Adams did is just sour grapes IMHO. The Bombers offense and defense just plain gave up the ghost in the second half. I believe the office scored 3 points in the second half and we all know what to expect from a Richie Hall Defense - Nothing more to say - A Richie Hall defense will never ever win you a Grey Cup!

How absurd. Weird how little attention this is getting, too.

I fear yesterday's loss and that to the Argonauts earlier this summer will come back to haunt this team when it comes to winning the division.

The blitz package is so ineffective too. Not too sure what Bighill is ever doing on passing downs, seems like he has too much leeway to freelance and can’t move fast enough to do anything impactful. Only guys blitzing ever getting into the pocket are Gaitor or Hecht.

Sorry. I'm a MOS supporter. But blowing a 20 point lead to the TORONTO ARGOS and a 21 point lead in the 4TH QUARTER, when you are in a tight race for first......are not character builders, learning experiences, moral victories, or growing pains. Flat out unacceptable....and when this happens, the MO from our OC/DC is usually the same ole crap.

Montreal is not a bad team.....but we blew a 21 point lead in the 4th quarter Pretty hard to sugar coat that. Not letting players off the hook, but I am not sure that we have the OC/DC to bring us home. Far too many "playsafe" episodes, on both sides of the ball, after getting a lead. Have flat out blown 6 points, in the standings....so far.

found it interesting on the post game show, Bob & Doug talking to O'Shea, and O'Shea goes on to say that this is 'a fantastic opportunity to learn from our mistakes' trying to spin it into a positive. Bob fired back with 'I don't think this is the time of the season you still want to be learning these lessons'. I like O'Shea, but sometimes he really tries to deflect criticism and spin it into a positive rather than take it head on. If he doesn't see a problem with his coaching staff after this epic collapse, then he really is blindly loyal, and we'll never get to the promised land under him. Sad. This team has all the pieces, just scared pilots!

The guy who threw the winning TD moments b4 hit bighill in the head with a weapon.. Thats not sour grapes. That's horseshit.

This. Lapo always calls the patented run up the middle late in the game. Goes nowhere. 2nd and long, QB draw or screen pass. Punt. Way too conservative

Yeah but the Als didn't beat us by dink and dunking it like a prevent defense should allow. We were getti g beat for huge gains. Guys left uncovered.

Dont u have to fire Hall? That's 2 collapses with the game on the line in the last 3 weeks or 4.

Streveler having huge success passing in the first half - Montreal totally off balance... Harris dominating... Lapo (to himself) - You know what they won't expect... Mike Miller. YES!! Then we'll grind out the rest of the game... up the gut. Old school. High fives himself...

I can't possibly get more erect.

The inevitable return of Nichols as the starter is going to be heartbreaking.

Streveler brings so much more than Nichols, my god. When Nichols doesn't get it off on a blitz he has to be scraped off the field. Strev has been getting it off, and when he doesn't he just hits whoever is in his way. This is Streveler's team.

Kick em in the VAJ

He never wanted to leave Edmonton. Even though he found success with the Argos I think that trade from the Esks not only blindsided but hurt him a great deal. Witness his very emotional speech last night to the crowd. This guy has Eskimo green running through his veins. Not Argo blue.

this might sound ridiculous, but I kind of thought it in the Toronto game earlier in the year..... is this coaching staff just too nice, and don't want to run up the score? That seems to be the only reason I can come up with as far as "letting off the gas" goes. There was a play late in the 2nd, where Winston Rose closed on the ball and just swatted it away with one hand. Dunigan made the comment that he probably makes the pick if he gets both his hands up (and it looked like he definitely could have). Was the coaching staff already maybe coaching the players down telling them take it easy and don't run up the score and look like a$$h***s?? They seem to lack that killer instinct, and I'm seriously wondering if it's just trying to be too classy of a team and not kick a team while they're down?? Problem is, you can come back with little time left in this league, and maybe they should be a$$h***s and run that score up when they have the opportunity!

This. It's one thing to have an OC that plays conservative with a lead if you have a DC that plays aggressive regardless the score...or vice versa...but to have them both play with the same "safe" attitude is just a recipe for disaster.

They have to go in the off season... no more excuses.

I don't blame Streveler. I blame LaPo. The same plays would have been called if Nichols was playing.

In the words of Bellichek when asked about running up the score - "it's their job to stop us".

Wow !
