I looked at the game log and there was 3 seconds left in that game so they choice would have been
a) have Leone kick a 61 yarder  which is what the Lions did - probably 1% chance of succeeding 
OR
b. throw a hail mary to the end zone - less than one percent chance of succeeding
There was 36 seconds in the Bomber game.  Bomber choices were
a) kick field goal - which they did - again, less than 1% chance of succeeding
b. gamble on third and 4 - probably had 40 - 50% chance of succeeding.  They would have also had time for 2 or 3 more plays had they made it.
 
Please don't attempt to draw comparisons between a nearly impossible field goal attempt with 3 seconds on the clock vs one with 36 seconds on the clock.  It's insulting.  O'shea's decision defied logic.

So because the O slowed down in 2nd half, except ofcourse for the 2 quick completed passes for 20 yards that Nichols JUST MADE, you decide to go for a 61 yard field goal that Medlock has never made? You and Oshea would get along great

Nichols was shredding their D, youve gotta have some confidence in him to get you 4 yards. Ask Lapo for his most trusted 5 yard play and get it done. What the **** was oshea thinking 

Terrible call. I dont care if God is your kicker, you cannot try a 60 yarder at 3rd and 4 with 30+ seconds left

Drew Willy is one of those players,(much like Kevin Glenn actually) who will inexplicably have people making excuses for him until he takes the last snap of his career.

Serious question: Why does Ian Wild get so much love from the universe? Lawless claims he's the Bombers best defensive player??? I just dont see it. What i do see is a guy that constantly gets his ankles broken in the open field and misses way too many tackles.

Front 4 simply not got enough. Westerman is not the same guy as last year, Cole is invisible, as is Shologan, and the much celebrated signing of Cummings has been a huge letdown.
Then as soon as we bring more guys on the blitz Reilly dumps it over the middle for 10 yards.
Me thinks Edmonton has just showed the rest of the league how to beat the Bombers.

Im not aware of any "smear campaign" against Drew Willy but i am aware of a fan base that was sick of losing and wallowing in QB mediocrity that had been going on here since George W began his 2nd term in office. Willy did himself no favours and played himself off the team. Blame it on whatever you want but it is what it is.

GOOOODDDDBBBYYYYYEEEE WWWWIILLLLLYYYYY!!!!!  YEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

Do you know this for sure? Maybe behind closed doors he b**ched and sulked. Maybe he asked to be traded?? Just because he didnt say anything negative to the media doesnt mean he was a great team player. Look at Evander Kane, always saying he liked it here and didnt want to be traded, only to find out every offseason he asked for a trade. By the sounds of it, according to Lawless, Walters asked him and his agent to re-structure his contract, you know, to help the team with the cap and was told to take a long walk off a short pier. Is that being a great team guy?? The trade is a win win for both teams. Bombers get better in the short term for a player that was doing jacks**t on the bench and maybe Willy can grow a pair, stop playing scared + letting the media get to him(hinted at by Walters) and resurrect his career.

The guys who chose Ray over Collaros and Harris, overpaid for Willy IMO. Not that I'm complaining.

People need to stop having Pederson on their shows. 

Done and done.

I dont know why i sometimes go over to riderfans after a game.....yes i do, to watch them meltdown and cannibalize each-other. But today is a whole different animal. Apparently they outplayed us all game, the refs cost them the game, their kicker cost them the game, etc, etc.  One guy said the game wouldnt have even been close if their kicker made all of his kicks???? He left 7 points on the field. Unreal. Also, anyone who isnt a lemming and displays an alternate view of the game is a troll and told to f*** off. That place is like a whole other world full of likeminded, koolaid drinking, nutjob, conspiracy theorists that refuse to see the world in anything but green-colored glasses. Its quite amazing.......and frightening. After a few minutes there you begin to understand how the nazi movement swept over Germany.

The problem with Willy was his inability to maintain momentum and time-of-possession in the 1st half of each game he played.  Special teams and defence were then tired and worn out.  I believe this change comes down to Nicholls, his ability to make 1st downs and his ability to control the clock.  
IMO, the change happened when the QB changed.  The defence got a boost by having rest, and the special teams improved for the same reason.  

Im being facetious of course but i sure remember reading a lot of pro Willy posts after losses when he was putting up lots of yards but making game crippling errors and not getting the job done when it counted. Now a lot of the same guys are negative towards Nichols when we win. Strange world we live in.

Lol, i swear some people would like to see Willy throw for 400 yards in a loss than Nichols throw for 200 in a win.

Ok, so Nichols has been "average" lately with 2 rookie WR's, 1 WR who was watching from his couch 3 weeks ago, and a Jamie Stoddard clone. What the hell was Willy with our entire starting offence intact? Trash is the answer.
I swear Nichols could win 19 games in a row, rescue 6 babies from a burning daycare, and defeat isis and some of you guys would still cry that he isnt doing enough. Ever think that the game flow/plan dictated his ultra conservative play by not forcing anything or taking chances deep and he did exactly what Lapo wanted on friday??
