2019 Nichols had a great record and then got hurt... and collaros split time with streveler in the playoffs and honestly the team probably doesn't get past the semi-final without streveler. Then in 2021 collaros was pretty awful in the grey cup... but happened to have good special teams and a top teir defense backing him... so the point is that the Bombers won as a team not because of collaros. In fact I've said for as long as anyone will listen that collaros being the best qb in the league the last few years is a damning indictment of the qb talent across the league. He is good, but he's not best in the league kind of good. When noodle armed morons like fajardo can be among the most consistent starters you know you have a qb talent crisis.

I was just going to respond the same... it's super easy for Montreal to brush off that last game... and the Bombers are a pissed off team after blowing a chance to clinch first and will want to send a message going into the playoffs and ensure the west final is in winnipeg. Toronto is to me the odds on pick to come out of the east. Rising at the correct time.

I'll settle for a 3 game win streak...

Collaros is not gonna retire. He wouldn't have signed the 3 year deal ifnhe wanted to bow out early, especially with the home grey cup. The only thing I could see making him think about it is some sort of major injury that is going to take too long to rehab.

You tell me...

Bombers record coming off a bye is pretty damned good last few years is it not? Throw in something to play for and I like their chances.

Oh I dunno, don't really care either, just seems the kind of poster that randomly pops up for certain topics.

And still only scored what? 14 points? To me there's a big difference between played well and didn't **** it up for hus defense.

Pretty sure I read people here trashing the reffing in that game too... and I read people trashing the reffing against the elks when we smoked them too. And I see it in game threads for games not involving the Bombers.... this is a recurring thing thay has happened for multiple seasons. You'd know that if you paid attention rather than just showing up for a drive by after an Argo win.

I disagree, they were pretty bad all game as is usual in the cfl, people are only talking about the spot of the ball on 3rd and 17 because it was the last play thar mattered in the game.

Not sure how they figure Kelly did anything of note but whatever.

The ball is Out of Bounds when a player in possession of the ball touches a Sideline, Sideline in Goal, Dead Line or the ground or any other object on or beyond these lines. Pretty straight forward actually. Player in the air the ball is out wherever the player is deemed to be down... so question is, you spot at the players knee or where the ball is? Cause that's the entire issue with spotting the ball. Sometimes it's the ball when a player reaches, but sometimes it's where the player goes down. Consistency from officials. To a man everyone here has said the offense was dog **** and Castillo sucked... that doesn't mean we can't also say the refs sucked too.

This is a dumb statement... part of the refs job is to be in a position to see things from the right perspective. There's enough of them on the field. My biggest problem isn't that officials on field make mistakes or miss things. It's a fast game with a lot going on, that happens. But as it has been since they brought in video review, the command centre makes baffling calls. So if you can't get the call right after review why even have review?

It's not random... basically every game this year the refs embarrass themselves with ineptitude in some fashion. No one is saying "oh the refs always screw us over", it's more "the refs suck and they and the command centre regularly botch things". Like it's amateur hour in the CFL for reffing. Compared to say the NHL where I don't think the refs are inept, they just heavily engage in game management because that's what the NHL wants. I don't believe the CFL refs manage games, they're just useless.

More than anything I think it says "we watched the film... it was ****!" and are making a change that they can make to help the situation.

The league really needs to stop trying to tweak the rules every offseason and focus more on improving the officiating on the rules they do have already. It's quite frankly a joke how incompetent the referees are in the cfl.

Yeah based on where the ball was I think he got the yardage, but there was 0 chance they were going to over turn that. Tsn doesn't have the camera angles to make it definitive. How about not putting yourself 3rd and 17 instead.

Dobson had the one big OLE! Moment for sure but I didn't notice a ton of issues. Meanwhile kolankowski... tons of times when collaros wants to step up in the pocket there's nowhere to go because our centre is getting pushed back and it all breaks down.

And yet if not for an uncharacteristically poor showing from Castillo the Bombers would have walked out with a win...

After last night even if we are guaranteed first I don't think they can justify taking their foot off the gas.

Argos have a physical defensive line... so naturally Kolankowski was ******* dreadful. Guy has got to be the weakest offensive lineman in the league.

was it automatically reviewed? these automatic reviews seem more like this:

so this aged well...

You know I don't even think Collaros was the problem.... Buck did him absolutely 0 favours, especially in the first half. Your OL is getting worked over but your running back still had some good gains... but why run him? He's only your MVP... That goal line nonsense... 2nd down you 100% give it to Brady and let him smash it in there. They did better in the 2nd half play calling but too little too late. Missing field goals doesn't help anything either. Defence you're still cool.

Kelly looks like he was shot and I am not convinced Thomas even touched him... total bullshit.
