    Great thread. I thought I'd share my thoughts now that we are a week removed from the game. I've actually been able to be pretty positive after the disappointing loss and I thought that maybe if I shared my reasons for that other people might be inspired as well.

    Everything you said was true Zach. These were all feelings I experienced to psychologically devastating effects in 2001, 2007 and 2011. This time was different though. This time we are coming off of back to back Grey Cup victories. This time instead of feeling crushed by losing the one big game I am elated that we won the previous two. 

    I've been able to focus on all of the positives. The many, many positives. Having the most wins in the whole league since 2016, winning 2 straight cups, dominating our home games, having the best record in the league for two straight seasons, etc.

    The dynasty would have been epic beyond words but not getting the threepeat doesn't diminish what we have to celebrate. What every other team in the league wishes they had.

    In short, I'm having the best time of my life as a Bomber fan and the offseason can't end soon enough. I'll see you all at IGF in 2023. Go Blue!!!

    Sheer stupidity lost us the game. How you have your backup quarterback, who has proven for years he doesn’t throw the ball with any skill or ability to read a defence whatsoever when you just took all the momentum with Grant's return is beyond me. That entire fourth quarter should have been Olivera and 5-7 yard passes. The deep opportunities weren't there all night and we kept trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. Moronic display of coaching and scheming all night.

    That play was just a mess. There were two receivers in the same area too which is never good.

    Great game?  Not sure he really did anything.  Tipped one ball that a QB under pressure (not from him) was throwing away and tipped another ball on Kelly.

    Think we need a lot more pass rush at that paycheque.  We only got it when we went cover 0 rushing 6 which also exposed the secondary.

    The one on Kelly looked like it was going to get picked by Nichols, possibly for 6, if he didn't deflect it too. Not that he could have known that.

    I feel like if you had the ball 6 feet off the ground going between the left tackle and the next blocker when the ball is lined up dead centre there was a 0% chance that kick was going through whether blocked or not.

    But that's just me.

    I watched the play again in slow motion and it sure looked like it was hooking left before it even got blocked. I don’t think it had a chance of going through.

    Harris and Nichols were the catalysts of turning us from a perennial bottom feeder to a perennial playoff team. While Nichols helped get the ball rolling Harris was the ball itself. Without Harris there is likely no trade for Zach in the first place as I doubt we are even talking about a playoff run in 2019 at the trade deadline.

    I will argue until I'm blue in the face that Harris has been the most important Bomber of my entire time as a fan (which goes back to the late 90s). I include Milt and Zach in that statement.

    Lots of big plays in the Als-Argos game. TSN talking about Harris coming back. if he does, he'll be fresh for the playoffs & could be a factor. If we played them in the GC & the Argos won, the man would be absolutely insufferable. 

    If we can’t pull off the three-peat I would be happier to see Harris get another ring than have any of the other teams win it.

    Does a healthy Harris even come back as a starter for TO though? AJ has done pretty well for them.
