Please step away from the edge. It's only a football game. Do the interview. Get the job. Come on back. There's always next year. 

1.  ZC
Olivera did his job....but the passing game just not good enough.   Becoming an alarming trend in Playoffs/Cups
2.  Houston
In between his picks,  you get giant cushions and lousy tackling.  No picks  - but we sure got the rest of the package today
3.   Hall, ST's MOS
Hall couldn't make adjustments to an O run by Cody Fajardo.  Gross. 
Kick coverage and punting was consistent -as in not simply good enough
You can sometime have too much of anything - including loyalty.  You have to make some dispassionate decisions to put the best roster on the field.   Number of time, this didn't happen this season....including today.

Aside from a couple of dumb penalties that Cole took earlier in the season, I like what I've seen from his play. Perhaps, the Bombers' brass has a succession plan or two in place.

As mentioned above....one valid complaint Prukop going shotgun from the 3....why, what kind of overthinking silliness was that? Sneak, sneak, if you don't get it in and you want the points sure go for a FG, but the shotgun was poorly called IMO
Our front 7 played so great, so controlled
 

Clements looks a lot more comfortable in the middle than he did at WIL.  I'd say if your LB crew was Wilson, Cole, Clements in those two spots you'd be in pretty good shape.
Yeah they planned for Parker to smack the ball right to McInnis.😂

Defensively, aside from that first-half ending play, the Bombers played a tremendous game. Kudos to Coach Hall and, of course, the players who "practiced what the coach preached". Offensively, I thought that Coach Pierce's play calling was excellent in the first half especially when the O-line was overpowering BC's D-line and Olveira was running with authority. However, once BC adjusted their D to basically neutralize Oliveira in the second half, Pierce did not seem to adjust the O to BC's adjustment, in my opinion. It seemed like for every first down play, the Bombers insisted on pounding Oliveira into the line for a lot fewer yards than in the first half.  Don't get me wrong. I'm a long-time Bomber fan and am absolutely thrilled that they're going to Steeltown for the GC but I was disappointed with Buck's play calling in the second half. 
Go Bombers Go!

Except when he threw it up in the air, he was still standing up. I initially thought that it was a botched lateral. Anyway, Bombers won.

Whistle and the whole sideline was yelling clock to go down. I was on the 40 yd line lower bowl

Hamilton issues at QB is that Shiltz doesn't know what he looking at...or for...and when he figures it out he's under siege
That's what starting him was dumb...for all the BLM criticisms he knows what's going on...and gives them the best chance...Use Shiltz as a change of pace...a pre-meditated package here and there....that's their chance to.pull this out...or was...does Orlando make a savvy coaching decision at the half

Just checking in with a comment about #17. I've been watching him as closely as possible for the last few games and IMO there's no way that he should be starting....a lot of missed tackles there. Of course, he's not the only issue....the play calling on that last series, Collaros' Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hall's D strategy. Yikes! 
We're still in it but what a frustrating game to watch.

I'm starting to get  a little concerned about the recent performances by the Bombers and that concern is being compounded by the knowledgeable posters here who have been and still are concerned about roster management in particular. It seems to me that if posters here see issues with roster management and other coaching deficiencies, Coach O'Shea's supervisors (Walters and, ultimately, Miller) see this too. If the bottom line is to win (resulting in more butts in the stands and $$s in the coffers), surely they might pull the HC aside for a chat about this. If the HC is not fielding an optimum roster which might involve efficiently utilizing the new roster rules (designated Americans, designated nationalized Americans and designated nationals...gotta admit that I can't figure them out), might not that be grounds for at least a "talking to" by the GM or President? Thoughts?

Thanks for confirming a new ST system. You may be correct about a lack ST "aces" as it currently stands. (I guess there are a few good STers on the IR which doesn't help.) Hmmm, so O'Shea figures that it was time for a change. I wonder if he feels the same way about Hall's D-system(s) that has been here for what seems like an eternity.😊

Just a guess: more practice for the coverage team? Based on what others have said about the wind, that shouldn't have been worth giving up the ball for.

Thanks for picking up where Do or Die left off. Appreciate the effort. Hoping it was Hendricks gin.

FWIW. I was out for a bike ride about an hour before the game and the wind was very slight (less than 5km/h) from the north. The turf at IGF is quite a bit below grade and with the protection from the wind offered by the stands, IMO, the wind was/should have been a non-factor yesterday.
