was there serious reporting that indicated that there was some kind of disconnect?

I thought it was some kind of Candyman thing where you say you are frustrated with the Bombers three times and this youtube video suddenly appears.

I think we are one-and-done in the playoffs regardless of who we play and I will be delighted to eat this post for breakfast if we are not.

wooooo!

Only thing I know about the playoffs is that if Montreal doesn't leapfrog the Ticats and BC slides into the crossover spot, the Lions / Als ESF is gonna be an absolute slobberknocker.

we live in a simulation

plus Streveller starting his very first game as a rookie while Nichols was banged up ...

creampuff solidarity. ain't gonna root for that guy even if he is wearing the most perfect laundry on earth.

VAJ playing like it's the middle of July.

back in the day I was friends of friends with a bunch of ER nurses from the big trauma hospital in town, the one that pulls all the really gnarly **** .. got to party with them fairly regularly ... and damn those ladies had some funny stories to tell ... but if my life were on the line I'd be glad to be in their hands. was hanging out with some American submariners in the aftermath of that billionaire imploding himself at the Titanic ... their jokes were funny as hell but were very very dark.

This isn't really about the merits of the team or any particular outcome, it's just running the numbers. There's 12 games left, so there's 531,441 (3^12) different scenarios that could happen. In slightly under half of those scenarios, the bombers host a playoff game.

It will be an interesting contrast of the two defensive philosophies -- us, who don't roster for pressure, and them, that do.

oh man I could go on and on about this but what I'll say is that America has been captured by a bot-fueled outrage machine that needs fresh bullshit controversies weekly. Anything even mildly contentious gets amplified massively no matter how stupid it is. You may have heard something about how Cracker Barrel slightly revamped their logo and people lost their ******* minds. HOLY **** I didn't think they would ever do this.

Hardy, Lewis, Addison, Pimpleton is a pretty damn nice set of receivers, though Addison had a weird drop tonight. Ottawa teams are always less than the sum of their parts.

https://www.cfl.ca/players/keric-wheatfall/166914/ Wheatfall has had his down games, but he's certainly not been invisible since the early part of the season. In particular, check out his 8/15 game against Ottawa. He made some hard yards in that game and survived some hellacious contact and I've seen him throw some good blocks too. Someone here compared him to Chris Brazzel and I don't think that's a fair comparison. Up to the 9/6 game where Collaros got hurt, he was on a 950ish-yard pace. Should we start him or Mitchell? No idea. But Wheatfall doesn't look like an early season flash in the pan to me. Would he start on any other team in the CFL? I don't think he'd make the grade in Montreal, BC, Ottawa, or Hamilton. I think he's just the target of frustration because he's a decent player on a team that made an expensive bet on Dalton Schoen that didn't turn out.

lol. I'm pretty sure that if some MBB poster were on the sidelines calling the shots, the rest of MBB would be pining for the good old days of Tim Burke...

well, the Bombers also got to play the Lions 2 times before they had anything figured out, so it kinda evens out.

HH to Vaughters. Two sacks!

Tommy Stevens

he did call the plays that resulted in the time killing drive, right? He called the right plays and our guys executed them well. The system worked at a critical time. Ottawa has a habit of improbable comebacks but we stomped that possibility dead. I'm not saying there aren't giant hairy weeping warts on the O in this game but there does seem to be some small amount of credit owing there.

I'd trade any of our QBs for Brown in a heartbeat. If he's not achieving in Ottawa, it's because Ottawa is the forbidden zone of the CFL, there's some weird malaise over the place that prevents the assembly of talent into teams, and it's been that way since the early eighties.
