23 and 24 I’m a little more ok with. 22 will always be the one that pisses me off. There was no excuse for losing that game and it all turned after that stupid, stupid call to have Prukop chuck it down the field. Buck has any sense in his head at that point and we would have a 3peat, won in Regina of all places. I’ll never get over that one. 

But when the signs are there of continued stupidity of doing exact same things...why would you move on tho? If we fail.again it will be basically from the same issues and it's stems from the HC
5 straight trips...not 5 straight championships
Anything can happen in one game..
And the same combination of things have literally happened in 3 straight avoidable defeats
Guys say this player...or that player sucked...was a big reason...yet fail to put together the fact that they were not properly prepared to succeed...and hence looked bad...aka...coached/schemed
When they perform well they likely were...you have some outlier incidents where a supreme talent and.effort will supersede anything...much like a inferior and declining player can have the best coaching and prep and just still suck...we have been a victim of both in all 3 losses...be it bad gMeplan and no adjustments...poor rostering...bad in game decisions and lack of trusted depth...which circles back to rostering all yr and.riding guys into the dirt all yr with no experienced viable depth behind them...but a buttload of st guys 
We been easily out coached in last 3...badly...will it be 4?? TBD

Should have burned it down and left a Go Lions message 

Thought the game was pretty entertaining.

Good for Augustine getting some looks and making plays

Lol...say great crowd as camera pans out to show a sparse populated upper deck ....keep on slurping the green shlong
💯 eh? 23k maybe...about same number of teeth too

Lots to learn from that game.  Edmonton exposed our coverages by running switch routes where guys cross and go vertical to other side of field they started from.
Our HB's and Safety made really bad reads on what route they needed to prioritize on some of those plays and Edmonton hit/almost hit several big plays off those.  Nichols kind of got lost on the TD and jumped eligible OL...but really who cares about that guy at midfield, not a threat, while Bridges stayed with his guy across the field and the other wideout got passed off twice, third time (when he turned vertical) to no one because Nichols was out in the flat on a OL.  Then he was running by himself to the endzone with the ball.
You know it's a bad bust when a guy is running completely free on a play from the minus side of midfield because our coverages hugely prioritize sitting on vertical routes basically until they cross the 30.
But the games are so long, have 4-5 negative plays are going to happen.  You want to be able to get those back with turnovers and sacks.

Just rewatching the game and yeah the last replay they showed was the one from ground level...and while it was the best view, imo, it simply doesn't meet the definition of "conclusive". You don't actually see the ball touch the ground/any pebble fly. Obviously my opinion is worth squat.

And for the 'stop with the Jake hate', it really is not Jake hate. At least for me. If he's the glue find different ways to apply it on this team. It's just frustrating and difficult to watch our nose tackle be pushed back 1-2 yards and/or play bump belly with the OL on 90% of his reps.
I know I know we're 3-0, we've made the GC 5 years in a row, MOS has turned our club around, we lead in attendance, we are the gold standard of this league, we have the best uni's around etc etc. But cut us some slack there is always room for improvement no matter who you are.

3-0 overall, 3-0 versus the West. Its all coming up, Blue Bombers.

Nye's a POS, 

Lol. Bombers' social media team were ready:
 
 

Surprised it wasn't called...even more surprised it wasn't challenged

They showed a replay in the stadium where the camera must have been lying on the turf that showed it pretty clearly being trapped.
Even after that lengthy delay after they showed that replay I don't even think the crowd was that into the booing

Exactly. There was no clear/incontrovertible evidence on replay that ball touched the ground. None.

Honestly I’m still torn on that one. His second arm placement, he tucks it and rolls, it was a mess even with a ton of angles all day to review and nearly frame by frame slow mo. 
 
I can’t stand that inconsistency though. If that’s how you review, do it every time. You can’t work that hard to over turn a call once in a while. They get way to many calls wrong and miss to many to be taking that much time to make one random call right. But if you’re gonna do that, you gotta do em all like that. 
Them giving up on the run when the game was close was soo stupid. They could’ve gone ground n pound on us. 
 In general mak used a lot of bomber ball stuff tonight. Jet motion, izr, the motion screen etc. but he got away from what had them in a position to win the game. 
 
Much better team than I expected them to be though. And they aren’t a free spot on the bingo card any more. They get more confident and start expecting to compete each game and it’ll yield results. 

Shove this win up your ass, Jamie Nye

What a dog fight of a game.  Edmonton came to play and played very hard on both lines.   You can tell the guys are trying hard for Killam and I hope they give him a chance even if they start out 0 - 6 again.    Lots of hard tackling and I think mid game it woke up the Bombers and they started to match the intensity.   Even with the terrible 3rd quarter it was an entertaining game. 
Zach looked better,  had good protection and made an equal amount of good throws to his bad throws.  The old arm I think is failing him and he's still under throwing some deep balls,  I hope this is just rust.  
Tre Ford wasn't nearly as bad as people make him out to be.  Had that receiver caught that easy TD it may have changed the outcome of the game.   The Bombers did a great job of containing him and mentally I think Ford is weak.  In the 3rd and 4th quarter several times he pouted to the refs looking for phantom calls and those 2 deep balls with 4 minutes left were bad decisions.  He should be lucky that the refs didn't call the several blatant holds that gave him time in the first half.   The last drive he floated some weird throws that were questionable.   Still a question mark on the guy but he wasn't nearly as bad as people make him out to be.  
My 2nd game of watching Jake Thomas.... In the 2nd quarter he had one good rush where he was being held and should of been a call.   Other then that... he is a pylon who still gets pushed around.  Completely useless.   Lawson wasn't that great in the first half but he was the guy that rushed Ford on the Bonds "interception" that was called off.  
Clercius had a good come back game after a rough outing last week,  I hope he gets more involved.   Sterns also isn't as bad as people make him out to be,  I'm ok with him playing.   
Vaval with a brutal fumble which could of completely turned the game on us had Kramdi not made that huge play.   We had full momentum and his botch killed it completely.  Glad it didn't factor in the end. 
 

I feel like in any sport where there's a version of a "Command Centre" that can intervene challenges are basically useless now.  More likely to further penalize yourself by killing a timeout.  Need something that's such a simple call and so obvious for an overturn.

Only if it's Winnipeg. Hardly any calls against Edmonton 

Nice return

As have the lack of penalties
