Random fact...47 of 59 points in this game scored by teams heading toward the south endzone.
****** O'Shea can't do a coin toss.
So you're saying into the south wind that is happening now and has been from the south all evening.
I think youve got your endzones mixed up.

I stepped out on my deck, a slight south breeze, less than 10 klicks. Insignificant in my opinion but apparently in real tine it isn't. I stand corrected.

And then throw for 3 yards. Yikes!

Flags barely moving on posts...wind isn't an issue. And really up by 10..take ball...get momentum back and go for kill...just a plain dumb decision that basically factored into us being tied now
Interesting, that I'm criticized for saying the wind isn't a factor but no one is calling you out. Just saying.
-
I don't know guys but the field is several meters below grade and with the stands the wind here is not nearly as much if a factor as some think.

Some.... But not a lot of diehards. A LOT of Fairweather, part time sports fans in AB. A lot of people with blank jerseys.
I realize that Commonwealth is a huge stadium but that crowd is an embarrassment. How can the team, and I'll add the Stamps, too, stay in business with or without fair weather fans. Throw in the Argos and all those empty seats disguised as fans at Mosaic and I think the league is in deep trouble. It seems like it always is but this time......

Doesn't look like the Elks as constructed are going to be bringing in any more fans than are there tonight
Fans? Looks like friends, families and girlfriends only at the game. The Elks organization leaves a lot to be desired. Stamps are just as bad. Are there no CFL fans in Alberta?

I mean the final score looked pretty bad for this game... but the Bombers were right there until Zach started throwing int's after his finger was hurt.
He doesn't hurt his finger the game was absolutely winnable (the long toss to Wilson that got picked SHOULD have been a huge play, Zach throws that in the right place it's maybe even a home run)
I like your positivity!

Honestly I don't care which of Wilson or dolegala they had pegged as #2, they should have been playing after zachs injury. We don't know which was the right choice, neither got the chance.
I had totally forgotten about Dolegala. Given his experience and the fact that he has been around the Bombers for a while leading up to the GC and, I assume, is by now familiar with the playbook, he might have been the guy to go in and finish the game. Collaros definitely wasn't that guy!

Just looking for context... cause honestly I didn't feel collaros was the problem prior to his finger injury.
I appreciate your opinion but even taking out a drop (Demski) or two, his completion % would still be less than his regular season one (>70%). I also thought that his O-line, surprisingly, gave him ample time to go through his reads.

How many of those were dropped?
All I wrote was that 6 for 16 were not winning numbers...seems to me that drops or misses are irrelevant.

Some thoughts and remarks that I made to my wife while we were watching the game (expletives removed):
Although the coin toss was botched by the official, we won the toss (only thing that we won yesterday) and actually chose to receive the ball.
Not a great start by the offence. The offside/illegal procedure on the first play was an omen, I guess, suggesting to me that the team wasn’t prepared.
These idiotic gambling commercials have got to go. Gambling on beanbag toss? Pregame, TSN talking heads were touting and Fan Duel had odds on which song the Jonas Brothers would open with. Give me a break!
Offensive play calling was unimaginative at best and offensive at worst. Buck was calling plays like he had one foot out the door (BC coaching offer rumor). I’m all for a change at the OC position.
At one point, while he was still working with all digits, Collaros was 6 of 16. Those are not winning numbers.
Lucky Whitehead has lost more than a step. Oh yeah, I forgot that it didn’t matter because he was still a sure-handed returner. Hmmm.
Don’t often see that interference penalty called on that blocked punt but the rule is in the book and Wilson did interfere with the Argo player. Wilson, a vet, should have known better!
The Bombers screwed this up themselves. No one else is to blame.
Jefferson played pretty well given the constraints that he was under.
Disappointed in Bombers preparation and execution and Collaros playing poorly didn’t help.
Lawler’s feet are too big. Actually, I thought the ball of his foot touched in bounds followed by his heel (out of bounds). I don’t know the rule on that.
On the first pick 6, it sure looked like the Argo lineman on the right edge was offside. No call by the on-field officials, nothing from above and I assume not challengeable. I don’t think that they had a replay from that angle.
Collaros injures a finger on his throwing hand (severely…stitches?) and has never worn a glove on that hand and he’s put back into the game and the first play is a long toss that is intercepted????
I thought Wilson showed some composure when thrown into the breech. His ball to Lawler, who was open, was underthrown but I thought his throw in Wheatfall’s direction was good and could have been caught.
I thought in spite of the fact that they were getting no pressure on Arbuckle, the D played OK to a point. However, why they weren’t trying to get more pressure on him is baffling. (He looked a little flustered the one or two times he was pressured.) I saw Hall in the booth so I’m guessing that he has a great influence on the Bomber D.
Lots of uncharacteristic (lazy?) penalties by veteran Bombers (e.g., Demski) And if he were hurt perhaps he shouldn’t have been playing.
All in all, it was an embarrassing performance by the Bombers especially the offense and including a few of the coaches.
I’ll be back next year! Go Bombers Go!

At the risk of sounding really cynical, Buck is calling plays like he's already with the Lions.

Fwiw I texted with the guy behind the podcast that's "reporting" it and he says it's a done deal. Crazy that we haven't heard it from Naylor or Farhan first.... I feel like if it were legit they would have said SOMETHING....
Done deal for Buck before the biggest game of the year?At a minimum, wouldn't that be tampering?

They are pretty competent at running and passing as are the Bombers. A key for me is how well our D-line performs. Can they get pressure on Harris? Does our 3-man front offer any resistence to their run game? (Gotta admit I'm worried about this.) On the other hand, the sell-out crowd will be our 13th man. (This I have confidence in.)
Go Bombers Go!

win....if we need to win despite of this or that....so be it....as we have had to before....but that well is slowly running dry and as we have seen...we cant overcome like 2..3 yrs ago....that being said...I feel pretty good about this game
ZC is gonna be dialed in, and we are gonna see a couple things on both sides of the ball that we will ask ourselves "where the fack has that been all year?!!?!?"
Man, I hope you're right about this! A little more motion, misdirection on O, a blitz or two on D, less Thomas and Schmekel on at the same time, and, perhaps some trickery on special teams.

After looking at your breakout, I still say that we don't have much, if any, advantage at QB.
BTW: Wins is a team stat, not a QB stat.
Holy hyperbole 17! Harris is what he is and that gets the job done a lot of the time. That's hardly hyping him or a huge thing.
What don't you understand about what I wrote? "I'd say that the two QBs are pretty similar."
And yes, Ws are a "team" statistic. Having said that, is a QB going to get that 70+% completion rate without receivers, an O-line and blocking back?
You are the most....obtuse poster on this forum. IMO.

Harris has been the better QB this year.
GP Y Y/G EFF TD INT COMP%
Harris 12 3264 272 108.4 20 9 72.4
Collaros 18 4336 240 96.3 17 15 70.1
Stats from CFL.CASince August 1 (objectively, I believe, when the Bombers' season turned around), I'd say that the two QBs are pretty similar.
Collaros: 204/283=72.1%, Harris: 190/262=72.5%
Collaros: 2613/204=12.8yd/completion, Harris: 2392/190=12.5yd/completion
Collaros: 1TD for every 20.21 passes attempted, Harris: 1TD for every 20.15 passes attempted
Collaros: 1INT for every 40.43 passes attempted, Harris: 1INT for every 43.67 passes attempted
I have no idea how to calculate QB efficiency.
And,
Collaros: 9W - 1L, Harris: 4W - 4L (only played in 8 of 11 SK games since Aug. 1)
I know who I want as my QB on Saturday.
