    Yes it wasn't good,  but they shouldn't be blamed for the 14 points from the two, pick 6s.

    The defense isn't going to have to do much in the second half if they give up 22 points in the first half and the offense can't move the ball. The PxP has Vernon Adams completing 4 short passes / 5 in the second half, but when you are up by 20 why would you push the defense. Point differential is unlikely to come into effect, keep everything nice and easy... Big Play VA is notorious for working both ways.

    This is why you can't stat sheet watch.... Bombers put up 400 yards of net offense, but that was mostly empty calories where they couldn't finish drives or were playing against a soft Calgary defense that was rushing 3 and was keeping everything ahead of them... 55 pass attempts for only 316 yards is nuts. They only gave up 300 yards of net offense... but the Stamps had a 20 point lead starting at the halfway point of the 2nd quarter and they adjusted their offense accordingly.

    It does need to be mentioned:

    With 2 pick sixes on the board, the D gave up 23 points. Most nights, that's a W.

    This is a slippery slope.

    Stamps attempted 18 passes all game. They got up big and then played not to lose. The way the DLine was getting dog walked and the DBs were getting outworked by the receivers in the first half, had the offense had the juice to turn it into a shootout Adams likely would have ended up with 400 yards.

    While I agree with you that that is the standard they laid out a few years ago, it actually did not make sense to me at the time and still doesn’t. And while I get that in general you’d like to see them make the call in a minute or less, I do feel like what makes the CFL bush is when they have a knee-jerk reaction and say as they did a few years ago, “all calls need to be determined in one quick look at game speed“.

    I mean, how stupid is that? what is the purpose of replay if you can’t look at it more than once and slow it down? 

    I think there is a balance to strike: be as efficient as possible but also accept that there are going to be times where they need to take their time to get it right. I certainly would not want the bombers to lose a game where the other team “picked it off“, but they actually didn’t.

    So, in sum: look at it more than once if you need to, be as efficient as possible, and truly hold yourself to the standard that the evidence needs to be irrefutable to overturn what was called on the field.

    but I do acknowledge your legitimate frustration when they say they’re going to do one thing and then do another.

     

    Football as a whole because there is pretty much 12 players on each team doing their own thing for 7 seconds at a time, and at any point any of those 24 can be doing something infraction worthy because almost everyone one is doing something that contributes to one thing specifically makes it really tedious to replay and challenge things... in that it is pretty unique compared to something like Hockey or even Soccer which has a similar amount of players on the field. Football kind of makes it harder on itself because I don't think any one can tell you everything that can go into making a completed catch sometimes... it feels like the meme for a balk sometimes. You have to make a football move... it can't touch the ground, unless you have control of it I guess? You have to survive contact with the ground... most of the time.

    I think that Refs are acting to the best of their abilities in the best interest of the game. If there is something that can be seen at full speed on a camera angle, for sure overturn it. When you start zooming in, and slowing down and dissecting frames like it is the Zapruder film is where things start to fall apart for me.

    That may have been Collaros' best game in almost 2 years. He was hitting guys in stride all game long. Only 2 really bad decisions (that he got away with). Thought he was lights out all night long. Run blocking and Peterson need to ramp it up in the first half moving forward. Not a lot of space to move and Peterson doesn't seem to be running with power to start games.

    Someone has to explain to me why MOS decided to kick off in the 2nd half. I'm still angry about that. I just don't understand the choice given the options/potential outcomes. One of the worst in game calls he's made in his time here imo.

    As long as I can remember, if O'Shea feels there is any advantage to taking the wind he will take it given the chance. The fact that almost all the points in the game were scored going to the south end zone makes me think there was some advantage there.

    In this day and age, knowing what we know about concussions in football, I would put a mandatory 10 day evaluation period if I were the commish. It would suck, but player safety has to be paramount. Especially for guys with concussion histories. At any rate, we all thought Harris was fragile, and we were all right.

    In Harris' defense... that was kind of a greasy play. Tensions were high after the Duncan-Busby chop block that took out George with a gnarly knee injury (which for some reason is only a 10 yard penalty) and you would be hard pressed to convince me that the late hit on Harris wasn't retaliatory on the very next play

    He had 48 tackles and was on pace for over 80 and 2 sacks prior to injury. That would have put him as his second best year with the Bombers. He is also fully recovered and has been for months. I see and talk to him pretty regularly. Not sure why so many people have a hate on for him lol. Dude has a ton of heart and grit which goes a long way in the locker room. 

    He's 36 years old which would put him in probably the top 10 oldest players in the CFL... of those the only ones who aren't Kickers or QBs are Big Stan and Micah Johnson in SSK. He is also coming off knee surgery last year, and could barely play in the 2023 Grey Cup. Father time is undefeated.

    Here’s what I don’t like:

    OL is 70 snaps a game and literally the heartbeat of your team, protecting the most precious assets of your team and creating your ability to score points.

    Special teams…I’ll never discount the importance…but 15 plays a game and really we have the bodies to have a solid unit without Ayers.

    Nuts to me to change the OL from last week.  They dominated that game and Vanterpool specifically.  Peterson had almost no yards after contact and ran for 130.  BO had another 50.

    That’s the kind of decision that could easily lose you a game.

    PFF has Peterson marked down for 88 yards after contact

    Who knows how they define contact though

    0-2 no? I thought they beat Ottawa back to back to start 2022

    That boneheaded call to have Prukop throw a bomb cost a Grey Cup win. I’ll die on that hill 

    YES

    Grant returns a TD, Thomas takes a RTP and the Argos get a field goal. Collaros hands it off to Brady for 13 yards and then inexplicably Prukop comes in and yeets it into double coverage... well kind of double coverage, for some reason there were two Bombers within 3 yards of each other 40 yards downfield so there were two defenders there also.

    Maybe but a nice balance between money and winning may be preferred by most. It appeared like him leaving to play with his bro was a forgone conclusion. Who knows what/if the Bombers were even given the chance to hit him with their best shot money wise.

    Even if the Bombers were given a chance to sign him... half a mil on one RB and one CB isn't going to give you much flexibility in overall roster construction.

    I guess they could have went the Lions route and loaded them up with that sweet sweet marketing money.
