You need to include Dressler fumbling the ball on the 2 yard line, that certainly didn't help.
Those are exactly the kind of plays that were going the Bombers' way during the winning streak.

This the same D that won 7 games in a row. They give up a ton of yards but they 'were' getting turnovers. It's time for the O to step up and be the reason why we win once in a while. It's like a good hockey team winning in spite of the goalie having an off-night

just learned something, thanks. multiregional origin of modern man.
It's funny how long it was accepted that human life began in Africa and people spread from there - no other possibilities considered

If they came that way, it was later when there was actual plant life. The Inuit, for example, were the last group to migrate, which is why they could survive in the North
I don't think they should discount the idea that human life evolved on this continent. However, you can't ignore the similarities to Asian DNA

Speaking of history, the Beringia arrival has now been debunked:

I think you guys are pointing fingers in the wrong direction. That defensive performance falls on the pathetic pass rush more than anything.
When they drop 9 into coverage the onus is on the secondary

I agree with you to a certain extent....players better and should be ready to play every down (football ex.)...Coaching encompasses many facets of a game including mentally preparing your players...I don't know if O'Shea takes the locker room rah rah stuff seriously as he seems to come out with what seems to be a blasé attitude... He doesn't seem ready at times and needs to take smelling salts (seen it on a few occasions) to get him engaged or something...Could it be that it rubs off on the players??.. Maybe it's just me and what I see... The physical part should be a given and the coach knows who he has on his bench...I've been around sports all my life playing them and working in it...Individuals are all different and every coach has his way of dealing with things in his own way...Could be this coach (Mike O) gets the results he wants, preparing the way he wants...Can't argue with the recent success but it wasn't always that way...(see record of the last few years)...The team seems to need time to rev up...very rarely do I see us 'fly out of the gate"...We always seem to start very slow and in that last game against Cal. that extended to the second half...You tell me why that is????
For most games during the streak, we did have a good first quarter.

Crap like this from over-paid athletes is why the CFL is the only pro-league I still pay attention to.

Say what you will about the guy but according to a story in the Calgary Herald yesterday Mitchell is the first guy at the team facility arriving everyday before 5 am. The guy puts in the work.

Noeller and iso actually agree on something - what are you guys drinking this weekend?

Did we even get one sack in that heartbreaker....Can't remember one and we were missing Cole...It'll be a dif. story if we meet them in the postseason ...and Bo will be 'peeping' a dif. tune...
Not if it takes them an entire half to adjust the coverage - he won't

Not really. Calgary was using extra blockers routinely, Trestman relied more on the 5 linemen and maybe a back, getting the ball out quick. BLM was taking his time for the most part.
I noticed that too - he was hardly ever forced to throw to his check down.

It didn't matter if they rushed 3-4 or 7 Calgary was matching with extra blockers. Should have given up on blitzing very early and given BLM less space to fit throws into with coverage.
JBR - did the protection scheme look similar to what Trestman used to run with Calvillo?

Didn't they outlaw a similar type play in the NFL that the ball can't be advanced on a fumble? Kicking the ball forward deliberately should be a penalty.
NFL rule: any player may advance and/or recover the ball after a fumble

So if that Calgary guy had touched it before Adams it would have been a penalty since he wasn't onside? And the olineman that kicked it gets rushing yardage? I'm guessing this is a leftover from Football's rugby roots.
Again, if Adams had just fallen on it there would be a much less confused BB&G sitting on his butt in Westman. ?
Adams touching the ball is what allowed the Calgary player to recover it.

Calgary probably thinking they only had to play the first half and :14 of the fourth quarter to beat us.
I still remember your comments from yesterday. It's safe to say that Calgary did make some adjustments for Winnipeg. They came out mostly throwing in the first half - Messam was not a major factor. It was clear they had prepared for certain tendencies in the Bombers' secondary.

Simple but accurate assessment of all the teams.

Our two wins against the Riders are looking better every week.

At the time, the comments by BLM bothered me, but really it's just trash talk in football. It's gonna happen and it will continue to happen. It would have been sweeter if the Blue pulled out the win. Use it as extra motivation to kick their butt next time you play them.
The End.

Prevent defenses prevent wins. Johnson couldn't cover all game.
There's some truth to that - almost cost Calgary a win

They are and will be inconsistent, at least for this season. The type of experience Jennings needs isn't going to be found outside of live-fire games. But they do look to be beatable, especially to a ball-hawking defense like the Bombers. Jennings' inexperience leads him into trying to force the ball.

This is the same team that had a 34 - 0 lead at the half and had Reilly looking lost out there...
Listen to yourselves..,
