this effort off a bye, in the final stretch of the season is unforgivable. This is why you dont give vet days on a week like this

That last drive was a microcosm of our season. No heart. No urgency. No execution. Terrible play calling. This is RedBlacks football and I hate it.

Wilson saves an underthrow

I'll say it again...coaching is just killing us...over and over This team shows as poorly prepared save for the odd anomaly here and there The roster is chalk full of poor coaches decisions and when you have in game injury issues rarely are we covered with the glut of ST guys who's only use is on ST and are a detriment if they have to go in...our overall roster is garbage ad we have maybe 2 actual superstar/difference makers We can't adjust to the game flow and repeatedly get out coached in second halfs...but we show/have no urgency to fix anything cause we claim we have all these starter quality guys and they will review the "film" and work it out...well we 16 games in season now..and are teetering into falling into 5th place We let our roster rot to what it is now..a lot of well paid guys who can't cut it...and way too many guys with no business even being on roster...but coach loves em...so we hooped We are definitely a mess and in serious need of a reboot...Sadly...all avoidable if we turned guys on roster over more liberally..paid guys who were top notch...instead of letting walk...and going after FA studs that could have supplanted some of our slugs...who cares how long they been here...if you can upgrade...u upgrade....we mismanaged a legit team of the ages and turned it into almost a joke now Who knows if any of the guys we brought in but cut in lieu of all these long in the tooth coaches faves were better....but its obviously it couldn't been worse...and if anything they were young with possible upside...not old...declining...zero upside...and several who really just sucked anyway and prob wouldn't be rostered anywhere but here...but that's what happens when you look back..4..5 yrs and not forward...and Osh's comment at beginning of season says it all and I flagged it even then "You look at a guys film from years past and see the success, and that's what they bring here" or something to that effect...and thats just crap way to build your roster...and we been seeing it in real time for 3 yrs now. Factor in some bad coaching...and poor in game management...well u get what we've witnessed

No effort. It's rare that I'm embarrassed by a teams effort, but tonight, in that cold... It was decidedly "un-Manitoban"...

**** if that game didn't feel like each of the last 3 Grey Cups.

For the record. I’d rather win a game where we complete three passes over watching a shitshow like this. We are coming off a bye and looked terrible.

Why take THAT shot in THAT circumstance. Zach literally threw away this game.

Looking like last game was a one off instead of a return to form.

The Bombers don’t have the receivers to run an offense relying on vertical passing game. And they have to really game plan to keep Collaros from his base instinct of just chucking the ball up. Certainly don’t have the receivers for that right now. It’s gotta be quick stuff to guys who are right in their break.

i hate the futile feeling of being behind, knowing zach is playing brutal, and watching as he just continues to chuck. And knowing we wont adjust.

I'd like to apologize to the members of MBB. Apparently I am the Troy Kopp of starting the game day thread.

You'd think the coaches would adjust for Collaros's lack of arm strength, poor velocity and accuracy and devise a short passing game. I mean if regular fans can see this, surely they can too. Just about every pass today was under-thrown or off-target. Why don't they do something about this? It's been evident for going on 3 seasons. Also, hate losing to Fajardo.

1. Zach, good first quarter then back to his patented Huck it..Chuck it..Football! brand of ineptitude. 2. Whatever our DL is supposed to be is a disgrace. 3. The coaching staff as a whole. The whole team had lackadaisical preseason effort. Coming off a bye week there’s no excuse. Dishonourable mentions- Parker should have had that dropped pick in the 4th. Wilson and Jones getting dragged around trying to tackle. Whoever decided not to play Houston. Whoever is responsible for multiple plays with 3-4 receivers bunched up in the same area. Most likely Hogan. Kolo with his usual game. Worst interior OL in the league. Giving up a 65 yard TD run on 3rd and 2. Crappy Honker- The garbage deep throws to nothing and nobody on 2nd/3rd and 4 with over a minute left. Honourable- Pokey’s catch, Brady’s effort. Vaval’s returning.

No heart was the definition of tonight's game. We were defeated by the cold. When the fans are more willing to fight through it than the players, it's an embarrassment. That was just a sad effort.

Ells deserve it more than we do.

Short passes are working. So we start chucking them deep

Catch of the year

You can’t win football games with no pressure. It needs to be a priority. We don’t have the DB/LB talent to be the 2004 Argos.

But roster management is never an issue with dear leader wearing the headset

What an absolute f****** joke. And f****** O'Shea with his ridiculous f****** mind to kick the ball.

Wilson's amazing catch might have saved our post-season. Without it, they're up by 12 and they kick a FG on the last play to make it 15.

for the life of me i will never understand how you look at what’s happening in this game and don’t go, hey let’s do more of that 2 step drop, hitch curl stuff. You can’t expect to beat pressure packages with more bodies when you got guys inside losing 1on1 battles with regularity. You can only get the ball out faster.

I am not either, but the difference in these 2 games is night and day.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist type. but the hammy games playbook install did look a lot like jackson’s offence in edmonton. And this one looks a lot like what we’ve seen the rest of the season. I don’t buy that hogan was stripped of duties or any thing especially after this week. But i do think they looked at what hamilton does and decided to bring more of jackson’s stuff in. Why we didn’t run any of that this week is completely beyond me. I’ll say too, billy jean as an offensive assistant/wr coach has handily under performed what bourgoins did with wrs previously here. No one knows what to do when zach scrambles, is pressured, and no one works off any one else. We should not see route/assignment failures at this point of the year. especially not regularly. Maybe jean is being micro managed, or some thing. But when we have jackson and a coach for each position wrs should be on the same page with zach/our qb.

I'm not sure I've seen a MOS coached team look softer than what I saw today. Scared to take a hit. Unwilling to lay out for a catch. Just seemed completely defeated by the cold. That was sad to watch from the top of section W tonight.... Gonna go warm up and cheer for th Oilers. **** this nonsense.

What a clusterfuck. From Zach pissing away this game playing hero ball to a coaching staff that looks like they phoned it in .. unbelievable.

Why the **** wouldn't Oshea call the time out to stop the clock with the extra time instead of letting it drain??? This ******* coaching staff is so ******* out of it

why didn the Bombers call a time out?

i’ll pay for hogans apple road map and plane ticket

Who the hell is calling these plays, you need 5 FN yards

Who was calling these ******* plays?

under throw by about 5 yards yikes. like he’s trying to toss em to the elk

.....well Zack tried to give it away....but Wilson fooled him

that was a brutal under throw though. that’s easy if zach hits his spot

What another terrible throw

Brady still giving it all he has got

Rankin is just running roughshod. Bombers have given up

And I'm out. Bombers haven't shown up so we should we?

This team is absolutely cooked.

So proud of the effort so far.

Nielsen: Fajardo with time. bomber fans: yeah no ****. What else is new?

Coaching picked sub talent tho...and some of our better players of late...look how long it took the wizards to put them in

Bombers look lifeless.

There seems to be little faith in the Bombers doing anything in the third quarter. This has been proven to be completely warranted.

Going to need better efforts from both sides of the ball in the 2nd half, you can't lose to this Elks team

Wow. Idiot call.

Don't throw off your back foot

3 guys too close no one in a hitch to beat the rush. bad play design for empty back field that’s 100% your fault lmao
