This game and the Toronto game and Labour Day aren't games they lost because they were out matched. Hell 2 of them the game should rightly have been over by half time. Those 3 games are examples of the coaches, specifically the coordinators having their heads so far up their asses and having the team play not to lose rather than playing to win. They too often expect the other team to give the game away to them. Need to recognize that they can't always play that way with a lead. They need to keep the foot on the gas and play to win even if it means taking some chances. 
Lapo needs to stop being afraid if letting his QBs throw. Hall needs to smarten up with his blitzes.

We're in!!!
 

 

Take that heart-breaking crap filled loss, and THEN go to a dinner party where there are a bunch of Rider fans who insist on rubbing it in all night. A small corner of hell. One guy even said "Lancaster was a better QB than Ploen". I never saw Kenny Ploen play but I assume some of the old-timers here would have started throwing punches at that point. 

Grew up around Brandon. Live out by Riding Mt. now. 

I would settle for being in the Cup game and even if we lose a close game. In a one-game winner-take-all, anything can happen, but getting there is non-negotiable for me.

No reason to think this season won't end the same as the last few. Making the playoffs isn't good enough anymore. We have to win the Grey Cup.

I fear yesterday's loss and that to the Argonauts earlier this summer will come back to haunt this team when it comes to winning the division.

It was weird ending to the game for me..    the wife was totally into the game, enjoying and understanding it all.  Enjoying the Bombers great start to the game....and then as the Bombers collapsed she was swearing at the Bombers, calling players names when they we're screwing up...... it brought a tear to my eye seeing her getting back to her old self.....  we are just going to continue to believe this is the year.  

Totally agree with DD. If we can’t beat a team with their #1 QB playing what are we saying...we want the refs to win it for us? Yes he likely should have been ejected but that is not the story of winning or losing....it is the play of the team starting with the coaching down to the execution. The players played well in the first half even though there were a few breakdowns.....the second half MTC adjusted we did too in the wrong way ...playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Same story for the 4 losses this year and even going back to last year. Until the mentality of the coaches change this will repeat itself time and again

First half stars:
Harris
Streveler
DLine
2nd half nobody friggen showed up.   The conservative BS by our coordinators is pathetic.  We should have won this game by 30.    

I'll let Noeller answer your broadcast question. As far as HH goes, it stands for Happy Honker. Back in the 70's & 80's on CJOB, Jack Wells would have an unsung hero award. Not for the guy who was the best Bomber on the field or for someone who scored the winning touchdown for the Bombers. It was for a player who worked hard all game long or did something special as a ST player. Someone on the team who normally isn't recognized but stood out in Wells' mind. He called it the Happy Honker Award & he asked fans coming home from the games at Canad Inns Stadium to honk their horns if they agreed with him. They always did.

We're in!!!
 

 

Essentially, to help broadcasters get better, I listen to their work with them and point out things they did well, and things they can improve upon. It's called airchecking... Just one small part of my job. 

I’m sick and tired of LaPolice.

O'Sh blew it on the last drive in my view. Should have taken the holding penalty and forced a longer field. And call your timeout when your D was in complete disarray and we got schooled.
And the defensive performance was horrendous. If we had played prevent defense properly we win. Wrap up and tackle. Ugh.

They have to go in the off season... no more excuses. 

At least he shows up for 60 minutes.

I can't stand the lapo classic: have a lead, with time running out.
1st and 10 hand off up the gut that everyone in the country knows is coming. 2 yards gained. EVERY ******* TIME.
I don't even see how that can be called "conservative". It's just stupid and predictable. Consistantly puts the team behind the 8 ball. 

Offense in lapo style clearly shut it down after a big lead. Happens every time. That's not surprising. Our vaunted defense should be able to hold a 20 plus point lead. 

Cuz the D Couldn't get off the field in the 4th quarter? Als put up 21 points. 0 did enough to win

We're in!!!
 

 

When it counted, the Als changed up their offensive and defensive games plans, and the Bombers..............

Sorry dude - trying to blame this on on the ref's failure to call what Adams did is just sour grapes IMHO. The Bombers offense and defense just plain gave up the ghost in the second half. I believe the office scored 3 points in the second half and we all know what to expect from a Richie Hall Defense - Nothing more to say - A Richie Hall defense will never ever win you a Grey Cup!

This is classic Hall though...  his schemes allow or call for his DBs to drop 25-30 yards back - this tendency picks up later in the game for sure
His blitz packages ALWAYS are out-adjusted by the opposing DC...  its just so bizarre the pressure we were getting and how it dried up in the 4th Q...
