That deep ball right off the bat with Zach testing out the glove hand has to go down as one of the dumbest ******* things I’ve ever seen.
And if that’s not coaching, I don’t know what it is. That should be so quickly addressed on the sideline before they take the field. Hey man, you’ve never worn that thing before, let’s feel it out before we sling it deep.

Done deal for Buck before the biggest game of the year?At a minimum, wouldn't that be tampering?

I didn’t like the defensive roster when it was released but the results speak for themselves. The extra DBs didn’t allow any riders to be open quick and the dline/lbs flustered Harris enough to make him totally ineffective. Riders didn’t have immediate success rushing so they quit on it. D showed good rally the ball to limit the runs (other than one big one)

Gotta give coaching today first star..was  my only real main concern and didn't start out well with the odd roster...but their prep ...scheme and overall game management made it a moot point...
ZC...earned his pay...showed why he is still the guy you want leading and played his best game in...yrs
Holm..had an average yr at best...but he was the perfect example of shut down DB tonight...and acted like a pro after a play every time...unlike the arsebags in green
Shout out to the oline...controlled the play...the l.o.s...got playoff nasty again and were key to the whole thing and it rippled thru the team
 

Can we are wear our blue jerseys and gold pants in the Grey Cup for god sakes

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!

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.

The CFL needs to have a franchise player designation where a team can pay a player independent of the salary cap & it's not affected by it. I mean, this only makes too much common sense which is why Scarf Boy never did it. Or probably never even thought of it.  

Since 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.

Good one. Yes, Buck will have to "buck" that trend, too. I hope that Younger was paying attention to yesterday's game. I saw a lot of ineffective 3-man "rushes" by the Lions. Let's hope that he can come up with a better plan to semi-neutralize Harris.

Their pants look like they are made by lulu lemon.

Amd what a stupid play call by Ottawa!

Speaking of not a good look for Ottawa, are there any uglier, cheaper-looking unis than their's?

Getting back to the game this past Saturday. That was more than a butt-clencher. In fact, I had given up hope. I'm glad the Bombers won but even as a non-football guy, I have to seriously question some of the coaching decisions. The one that was the biggest head-scratcher for me was playing Schmekel and Thomas at the same time. I didn't count the number of times that they had them out there together but the two times that I noticed, they were totally "swatted away" by Montreal's O-line resulting in big plays for the Alouettes. I'm hoping that when watching the video, the coaches will come to their senses and have a Eureka moment....."Maybe we shouldn't have these guys out there together."
