The game should have been over after Grant took it back 

The Kelly run did it for me.  We still had the lead and the Argos were pinned deep and heading against the wind.

As much as the loss sucks, least they broke the drought. Imagine how painful it'd be if this result was coupled year 32 of the drought...

Doesn’t hurt as much as 2001 but man it’s close. That ******* Prukop play..

Special teams was the source of most Argo points when we lost field position really bad on punt exchanges and kickoffs.  Realistically if Bede has an average game we’re in pretty big trouble.  Also gave up the big return to set up the winning TD, horribly placed punt and terrible decision by Parker to roll the dice to come inside to try to make tackle instead of keeping contain.

Nah, it still hurts. Not because we didn't deserve to win but because the Argos didn't deserve to win, either. 

That doesn't make the loss any easier to stomach. His team won (**** Toronto) and he gets another ring, anyway.
What a crummy and mostly forgettable game. Grant's punt return was probably the most exciting play of the whole night. It was a pretty boring night for both offenses.
The Prukop INT was the momentum swinger for me. That play was reckless and silly, IMO. 
****, this drought sucks already.

As I reflect on it, I realize we got some incredible breaks last year in Hamilton to overcome our mistakes. The breaks didn't go our way this year. 

Yeah I'm just not buying this. Of course the league has preferences but I think it's a bad slope to go down to start making up excuses and conspiracies to why we lost.
Leave that to riders fans, please

I agree with what was said above. Give Prukop second and short and maybe a first down on hurry up, but no business being out there for so many first downs. And I don't think we ran any sweeps to the edge with Demski or Bailey tonight. Could those have forced them to defend the edge?

I didn't mind the Prukop stuff as part of the run game, but there's no way I'm letting that guy throw a pass let alone 2 in this game.  He's not Streveler.
We did need him for the run game though to make the Argos actually defend the edge.
 
We just haven't gameplanned the Argos well in years.  They put a bunch of big DB's out there and challenge QB's to try to find gaps downfield with a nice pass rush too.  We just keep running the same two guys on posts and corners and trying to make it happen.

LMAO, Jesus Christ 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
100 per cent, not his best night...but Jesus Christ...

Sheer stupidity lost us the game. How you have your backup quarterback, who has proven for years he doesn’t throw the ball with any skill or ability to read a defence whatsoever when you just took all the momentum with Grant's return is beyond me. That entire fourth quarter should have been Olivera and 5-7 yard passes. The deep opportunities weren't there all night and we kept trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole. Moronic display of coaching and scheming all night.

I think the sequence going with Grant getting the TD, missing the XP, letting the Argos drive for a FG and then that terrible Prukop arm punt was the turning point. 
You have this amazing play that should tilt the field against the Argos but you let them chip back into the game.

If there is any silver lining, losing the game in such a manner might keep the team together more for next year. 3 straight and you might see some of the grizzled vets ride off into the sunset. Miserable end to the game might keep them wanting more!

Hey...we were 16-4...just lost the wrong game...this team tho is still class of.league....and will be again next yr

This seems like an overreaction. Bad game but the team has been great and I hope they all come back (minus Legghio).

I thought Buck Pierce had a really rough game plan today. Way too much Prukop, thought he was trying real hard to pull off the fancy play. Maybe he was trying for a change of pace since Collaros was also brutal, but I'm surprised we couldn't generate more in the run game when needed.
You don't often see the Bombers fail at so many spots in one game. Offense (Collaros and Pierce especially) was just off all night. Defense didn't make the major play that we thought they would. Liegghio's short kick offs and missed kicks made the difference too. Plenty of blame to go around.

Yup...I will take 4 in 5 yrs over 3 in a row anyday...we will be extra hungry next yr...cant wait 
Just sucks Banks got a ring...least deserving punk to ever get one

I mean time isn't a factor there to me.  There's what, 9-10 minutes left at that point?  So like 3-4 possessions each.  If they did that in the first Q it's still stupid.
Run Prukop on some zone read or option looks sure, but we're not going to put anything on his arm.
We get a FG there and the game is like 95% a Bomber win.  We get a touchdown it's 99%.
Just can't waste possessions like that.

The downfall was that Prukop trick play...   Brady ran for 11 yards time was grinding down with us having momentum.   Why not do another run to Brady or maybe even get Demski involved on a sweep.   Where was the short passes to Bailey?    That one bomb gave Argos the momentum and the win.   The Blue got cocky and it cost them the game.  
Also nobody on D made a big play when it was needed.  Kelly running for 20 on 2nd and 15 should not have happened. 

Kicking game needs to be priority next year both ways.  In general Liegghio had a good punting year, even all-star level.  But I don't think you want to be -15 on kickoffs and -10 every punt exchange in the biggest games of the year.  That's basically why we lost.  QB play was awful both ways.
We also needed Oliviera to handle the ball 8-10 more times.

This team built their resume, by not beating themselves, and making the needed plays to pull games out.   Not today, by a long shot.

Well...this team will be back again...time to start a new streak...

Liegghio's been **** at kicking XP's all year. It finally cost us. I don't give a care about Bede & what he did. I just care about the Bombers. 

Especially the last play before the kick.We had lots of time ,Hand it to Brady and let him do his thing. I don't get it
