You missed one of the best endings ever in a CFL game. Will be remembered as a true clash of the titans for first place and home field in the playoffs. Most exciting match this decade by a mile. Boy, was it ever great!
That George Reed holographic tribute at the end of the game was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

gets into lil funks where he is trying to force things
What's causing him to feel like he needs to force it?
With his, and other QBs, happy feet there's a reason...an oline allowing him to get hammered.
There's usually an action/reaction reason for these things, I would think. So what's the reason for the forcing it reaction? Lack of confidence in Buck making the perceived correct play calls? Not having faith in the rest of the offense?
Forcing it smells of desperation. If so why might he feel that way?

I know this is typical commentary for the coach and there was a time where I may have said to myself that even though the response is lukewarm, behind the scenes I'm sure he's spitting fire. Now...as bizarre as it sounds...I wonder which of us is deluded. Me for thinking we have rather pressing issues that need to be addressed, or him for seemingly not thinking there are any that a short memory and a week off won't cure.

Which is coaching. It seems incredible that a first place team at 10-4 could cause such consteration among its fabase as most teams would be happy with that record but let's face it. Too many huge hills & deep valleys. There's no consistency this season. We're a real Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde as well as bad road team.
So much this.
Been following this team since I was a kid in the 70s. As a kid there were many heartbreaks with teams that had so much potential but came up empty. It might have been easier to take had the potential not been there...but the squandering of potential is always sad.
John Daly comes to mind. So much potential and talent seemingly squandered.
I came into this season filled with that notion of a team with so much potential to right the wrong of last year's GC. The re-signing of important vets...the return of Lawler...the potential of another Wpg born back, etc...
Instead we're getting this schizophrenic team who doesn't seem to know who it is from week to week...world beaters or potential-squanderers?
I can take the down/rebuilding years...it's all part of the game...but watching these guys come out flat, giving up early leads and either having to scrap back to win...or lose...to inferior teams really p*sses me off. Combine that with some of the most incompetent officiating I can remember and I'm a frustrated camper.
I'll be the first to admit I don't have the football acumen that some on here do but I can't help but lay the blame for this frustration at the feet of coaches. Yeah professionals should be able to get themselves fired up/prepared for games but damn it, it's up to coaches to MAKE SURE that's happening.
If the only thing firing you up for a game is losing the previous game...well that doesn't seem like a recipe for success

As a devout, unenlightened follower of this team our offensive success seems like a no-brainer to me.
We have the best running back, the best qb, elite receivers and a high quality short yardage qb
Run for 4-5...throw for 4-5...sneak for 1...throw deep occasionally...repeat til the opponent is demoralized
When we struggle I am completely flabbergasted.

Fun fact... Vaughn street jail. Back in the day, you could pay a nickel and poke the mentally insane criminals with a stick.
I'm more pissed about riders winning on a non catch
Sounds like a supporting precedent to me
The officiating has been exceptionally awful this year, imo.

Dare I say the right move....for a change...but seeing as it was an after the whistle premeditated act ..should have been 3 games
They should lock him in the stocks outside the stadium for the BB and charge people to throw rotten veggies at him and donate the money to CTE orgs

No, I know.
How? There was literally a #9 involved in the play
We assume the CC reviewed Sasks 2pt convert in OT but if they did how did they not see the trap? The officiating was garbage. Assuming anything is risky.

The ref called the wrong number. It was 99 and it was high contact to the head. Easily a penalty.
You don't know that...you're assuming that.

But but but but Ballsy said everyone was overacting and to call it even for the helmet to helmet hit that Jeffcoat laid on Dolagala!!! Oh wait, it was actually Lawson on that play and it was a 100% football play on a sack that happens virtually every game. F**k that guy is such a steaming pile of runny dog s**t covered in puke, wrapped in a soiled diaper filled with fish guts that has been left out in the sun in 30+ degree heat for 9 days. Fits right in with that team and fanbase.
The penalty was actually called on 9 (Walker)...not 99...and I didn't see anything warranting a flag on 9. The penalty wasn't roughing the passer...it was unnecessary roughness.
In short I have no idea who the penalty was actually on or what it was for.
Getting pretty fn fed up with CFL officiating

It's a high bar but I have never heard Suitor be more insufferable. Cringingly effusive over VAJ while disregarding Wpg's performance against BC as a "one off" because, hey, look what they've done against Calgary.
As if there is any comparison btwn Wpg & Cgy.

Do these refs ever face some consequence for messing things up?
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

Wow...they went the entire game, including half-time, without once mentioning last night's beatdown.
Gobsmacked.
Are we the Rodney Dangerfields of the CFL?
-
Little behind...watching on PVR...
Through 1 quarter and not a word from Dustin and Suitor about the beat down on BC. After the bomb by Kelly would have been the ideal time to toss in, "If you like long bombs you would have loved the Bombers/BC game last night"...but, nope.
If BC had laid the hurt on us they wouldn't have shut up about it tonight
