1. decide on the coach. (extend MOS or whatever) 2. fix holes and upgrade as needed 3. extend Walters. If he has another year on his contract there is no reason to move on this before the first two. In fact they can work on this along the way.

They have let holding go for way longer than the last few years. It isn't a compromise they don't call it because there would be holding on nearly every play just like there was lots of PI/Contact not being called for the same reasons. Clean it up and you will get better o-linemen not only at the pro level but down through the amateur ranks.

The moon landing was real and the Bombers have won GCs. Three in my time. got attend the one that broke the last 20+ year drought.

No they are not a dynasty and will not be. There will never be a dynasty like the Eskimos again. Teams can have competitive teams for decades but championship dynasties are gone. The best we are going to see are back to back champions. That's it.

1. Not all refs are full time in the NFL and being full time doesn't guarantee anything. I have often heard the reffing in the NFL isn't any better. How good or bad refs are will not be improved by paying them more. It is also a completely unnecessary cost to the league. Do you really want to pay timekeepers and the guys who work the sticks paid all year? 2. Scrap reviews. Reffing is a human venture and as such is fraught with mistakes. You simply cannot see everything and, in many cases, the refs get the call right. Yeah it sucks when they miss calls but that's life. 3. Only change rules if they require it and they should be only further defined. 4. Stop changing rules to continually benefit the offenses. For example, I also like seeing offenses challenged by a strong defensive line which has been all but eliminated by constant holding. The officials have already been forced to enforce PI and, frankly, it has improved the play of defenders. Now enforce holding so that those hard working DL can work their magic and we can have better OL.

Burnham, Iannuzzi, Elimimian, and Lumbala please.

No thanks to either. Milanovich as OC maybe but even then I am not sold. I was proven wrong by both MOS and Walters and after the promising season they had I am more than okay for both to get one more shot to improve the team.

I thought Medlock signed for two or three years?

Is anyone surprised that MOS is playing his cards close to his chest? If he is not back I would be surprised.

1. I don't think we need a big fundamental change 2. The nuanced changes we need are some skilled size at receiver, even better if its a Canuck. Another DE to compliment Westerman. I might replace Sholo with Thomas. 3. We have no consistent deep threat, our contain on rushing QBs must improve, and we need more press and thight coverage on receivers. We need to get a better MLB. Bass was a bit out of his element here. I think that Nichols has earned a new contract, but that doesn't mean that they should not keep on looking out for the future QB.

Ha! That's a good one!

Thanks everyone for all the great posts. Glad to hear so much optimism.

I couldn't agree more. This year was a step forward next year IS the real test we take the next and hopefully last one to end our drought.

Like I said it was both side of the ball that did not do enough in the second half. Trying the FG was stupid but it never should have come to having to choose. That is not letting off the coaches. If both sides of the ball fail to do their jobs then that can definitely be hung on the coaches. The TEAM was simply not good enough in the second half.

Yeah the line has improved dramatically this year. They gave Matt all the time in the world today.

bad call, yes, but he has not been the first to make such a choice. I recall someone trying the same type of kick against the Bombers either this season or last. MOS will have to live with the choice for a year now and he rarely makes the same silly decisions twice.

Nichols, Smith, Randle/Leggett/Loffler (can't decide between those guys) HH to Cummings and Harris.

So the Bombers are finished for another year. Sad yes but I was certain that they wouldn't be in this position when the year started. Yeah they had some good players but they never seemed to get their act together. Well, they made me eat crow and I honestly could not be happier of that. Yeah it would have been great to go further but I thought we were just a few pieces short to do so. Surprisingly I was okay with that because this team showed me they are for real and it has been a very long, long time since I have gone into the off-season very optimistic that they ARE a few pieces away. Not even 2011 left me with that feeling. So I could whine and ***** about today but I would much rather enjoy the huge steps forward this team took. That has been a hard thing to obtain for the Bombers. I can easily wait a bit more because there is now light at the end of the tunnel when I thought we hadn't even entered it yet. Thanks to all the 2016 Bombers you brought a lot pride and honour back to this franchise and community.

When they went to the GC in 2011 they did it despite having a brutal second half of the season and terrible corners. Really terrible. Now I think we have much better players, we may need a few more, but not always the best game plan. So in all I think we are actually in a much better condition than the end of 2011 where a GC appearance masked some considerable shortcomings.

I am disappointed but both the offence and defence just didn't do enough in the second half. Would I have gone for the four yards? Yes, but it should have never come down to that. Our run defence was brutal through the last four games and tonight. Despite this loss though I have to say it is hard to be upset with how the season turned out. This team is just a few players short of being a REALLY good team. With first pick and middle of the pack first pick we should be able to fill some holes. As long as we can lock down a decent QB we should be back to strongly challenge all the teams in the league. It would have been great to go on and beat Calgary next week but this season has been IMHO a massive step forward... Massive.

BC and Ottawa in the GC.

He was but it was Rick Campbell's crap D that blew that play. They shouldn't have been susceptible to a fly route

People talk about the Larks being a mess the Argos not only crapped the bed all the way from third to last in five weeks but lost their first round pick in the process.

Defence sucked mightily today. The offence had moments but they killed themselves with turnovers and bad third down gamble decisions. I would have played Davis for the fourth. I know and Ottawa knows what Glenn can offer but no one knows Davis and that could have been the push needed to break the funk on O. IMHO

Who are the Jets?
