[Go Conservative or Go for the Throat?]

No O coordinator in the league runs a offense that plays lights out, all game, every game. Expecting that is pretty unrealistic. This aint Madden. 

Do we not have the highest scoring team in the league? 

Cal, Edm and Ham have all went through their own dry spells. 

Lapo game plans better than 95 percent of the co ordinators in the league. His trickery and game plans have masked alot of the missing talent we have at the import rec positions. 

Problems have risen in the middle to late portions of some games where we lack the pure talent to get through tough games where the other offense is shredding our D. 

That said though we have a offense good enough to win a cup. Guys just need to step up, like they have been in the last 4 games.

In ‘88 a .500 record Bomber team went to the Grey Cup and won 22-21 over future Hall of farmer and legendary quarterback for the lions, Matt Dunigan. Winnipeg was missing Chris Walby due to injury. Sean Salisbury, that hadn’t completed 50% of his passes that year. He didn’t even have 2000 yards passing. I remember his post game victory comments. “ I don’t care what my stats were, we just wanted to win...”. His stats were awful. Two intangibles to win, Michael Grey intercepts Dunigan in the end zone, James West whales on him in celebration, and Coach Mike Riley. How did the Blue win that game? I’d say the difference maker was Riley! He don’t need no stinking stats.

Walby went down in the east semi against Hamilton. The game where just over 12000 went to.  They made shirts after the cup win that said something along the lines of I was one of the 12000 that showed...they sold well over 12000 shirts. 

My Dad took me to that game. Had our usual safeway family endzone tickets.
