    Just started watching this episode Zach, at 3 minutes in you're referencing the "horrid mistake" that Dinwiddie made on 3rd and 1.

    No offence or shade intended here but you're way off base on this one for at least 4 reasons which come easily to mind from our standpoint:

    1) We have been garbage at "__ & 1" all season. We have no short yardage player to insert. It's been brutal to the point that we just know that 2nd and 1 for us always ends up as 3rd & 2. It is the biggest blindspot in an otherwise stacked roster with an excellent O-Line... we have zero short yardage to speak of in a league where it is among the most vital things for an offence to have. This is now a 2 season problem.

    2) Coming into a game with our backup QB put us in a mindset of getting points on the board no matter what. Anyway and anyhow. Can't risk coming away with zero. I expected Lirim to be kicking from midfield. That was the mindset.

    3) The very likely chance of getting stuffed at the goal line gives such a momentum and confidence boost to a defence. No way were we giving you that.

    4) We could make an easy kick and take Arbuckle off the field and tell him "Atta Boy Nick! You just marched down the field and put points on the board!"

     

    Not so horrid if you look at it through our lens, is it?

    Darrin actually said it. I wasn’t really thinking about that play at the time but I do like your argument.

    Love it man! These really are the best days and all I can do is soak it all in. I lost my grandfather shortly before the 2019 run and we used to watch a lot of games together over the years. I was so sad we couldn’t share that moment together, almost 30 years of watching together without a Bomber Grey Cup win. I’ll never take this journey for granted it’s a one in a life time type of run. 

    Thx for sharing. So sorry about your grandfather. I’m sure he and my pops are getting ready to watch tomorrow and celebrate.

    It's the Grey Cup - either team can win. But it is called FOOTball.

    Will Sergio be the hero? He can kick massive distance but his overall FG percentage this season is under 80% compared with Haj for Argos who is above 90%. 

    Also, field position. Punting distance + accuracy + hang time. Sheahan in 18 games has the worst punting average in the league. And he is punting to Janarion Grant. Sheesh. Love Janarion Grant. Just not this time.

    So ... kick cover. Anecdotally (who's got stats on this ... ) Bombers punt cover team has been underwhelming this year.

    I still like our chances - despite our special teams being sub-par this year.

     

     

    Bombers are best in the CFL in punt and kick return avg yards.

    Show me a qb who doesn't play better Ina  climate controlled environment.... what do stats vs. The lions have to do with playing Toronto?

    I have no idea if all qbs play better in a dome, I just know Zach has played extremely well in BC Place and that would have an impact on his psychology, his outlook for Grey Cup, especially because, historically, he has been just average in chilly conditions.

    yup...was gonna mention that...he after being tied up..spun backwards and when finally got his bearings had a QB flushed right into his waiting gut....solid contribution....and on the PPF score sheet he would have got high grades for that...as the other DT busted pocket and the ends turned the qb up to climb the pocket and escape...but get zero credit

    To be fair, we had the CFL PFF guy on our show, Bryson Vesnaver, and he explained some of what goes into grading a player. From what I can remember of what he said, it’s quite nuanced.

    I feel like you want a loss in order to get the head coach and some others fired. And man, that's super ****** up. 

    Whether we win or lose will be decided by whose players execute better on the field. You know that as well as anyone. 

    Yes there will be some roster quirks... Every team has them. But this isn't going to be like last GC where Biggie was on one leg and Schoen couldn't run. 

    In what universe do you read that he wants a loss?

    I really really love reading great writers and listening to great story tellers. Ed Tait is as good and talented as any writer you will find in media, in any era. His narrative voice in writing is superb. He’s one of the few newsmen who is as good on radio and tv. 
     
    Back in the day at the freep, his reviews and write ups of practices and camps were extraordinary. He’s asked the team smart, hard, thought provoking questions. 
     I totally get why he took this job. He gets to do what he loves all the time with all the job security. He pulls his punches now and is a part of the guys who was taking it easy in the time before. Bob did it too, turner. 
     

    Also, the reason the media is broken, is not entirely their fault. We all know how badly it was broken by Kelly. It’s never bounced back from that, and the success brought more fluff and relaxation rather than raising the level of coverage. 

    Media was broken by Mike Kelly? Interesting. Tell me more.
