Super Duper Negatron

That segment before the game where they literally focused on every player on each team and spewed what amounted to "here is this guy...he is looking to have a great game today...here is another guy who also does things that are good sometimes...". It was cringe.

If only we had capable backups the coaches were willing to play instead! We literally tried to "Weekend At Biggie's" our way through a Grey Cup.

As soon as I saw him throw it I thought we had won.

Taken from another site. Are these accurate? Collaros playoffs as a Bomber - 9 starts 6 tds 8 ints 1854 yards(206 yards per game) 144/209 (68.89%, 8.87 ypa)

Dammit! I am going to leave it.

I don't know about lemmings off a cliff. More like a bunch of lemons in a car heading slowly towards a cliff for 6 months, all of us screaming at the driver to adjust course, but the driver smugly going straight off the cliff anyways because he knows best. The driver is Osh. We are the lemmings. This analogy sucks.

Let's do that, then.

A good season is like good sex...it's kind of a waste of time if you don't finish.

Didn't Calvillo go to 8 Grey Cups in 10 years, and only win 3 of them?

1. It was a fumble. 2. Their horrid punter shanked it out of bounds and we weren't much worse off. The real problem was doing nothing with it.

This is why I hate sports media. On CJOB this afternoon, Jim Toth: "You put Bighill out there, even at 70/80/90% because he is your best option. Does Gauthier break up that touchdown pass? No chance". * 30 seconds later * "Gauthier had a great game. This is like a Harris - Olivera situation; move on from Bighill because Gauthier is ready" I don't even know where to start with any of that.

Our offense could have driven the ball when we had it at midfield with 3 minutes left. They couldn't, but Fajardo and the Als did. Both sides are to blame.

This year? Nobody apparently.

I still haven't watched highlights of last year. Worst part is we know how fickle this sport can be. The last two years of missed opportunity could look even worse if another 29 years (I guess 27 now) pass.

I really think our reputation as an old boys club is going to hurt us in recruiting and free agency. It starts with all the promosing guys we parachute onto the PR, only for them never to get even a sniff. And it ends with a guy like Ambles who will surely spread the word that the Bombers would rather play "their" guy on one leg than give him a chance to help the team win. FIFO - First In, or **** Off

Why....why is it off?

“Early in the week I didn’t even pack a bag,” said Bighill. “(Brad) Fotty (equipment manager) packed a bag for me, I really didn’t give myself much of a chance at playing. It was a pretty miraculous week with Al (Couture, head athletic therapist) and doc, and the team rehabbing. Yeah, it was pretty miraculous.” Schoen declined to go into the severity of his ankle, but he was clearly far from 100 per cent as he was limited to three catches for 36 yards. Bighill tried to tough it out but couldn’t play the entire game on defence and ended with one tackle. “It’s frustrating when it’s the most important game of the season, the biggest game of my career, and I wasn’t able to practise for the last few weeks going into that,” said Schoen, who hadn’t participated since going down on Oct. 6. “But you know, I was super grateful for the opportunity to play. The training staff here did an amazing job to get me ready, or at least, ready enough to get out there and be on the field. I don’t know many coaches out there that would be OK with a player not practising for six weeks and then throwing him in for a championship game. Coach believes in us as players, so, I really appreciate him.”

As pissed as I am at Zach, make a play "dark side". Two years in a row you can't stop an inferior offense from taking the game from you. The Crum-back game was a warning sign, and the Dolegala labour day game was the clincher. In a close game, this defense can't be counted on anymore to get it done. And the comments from Biggie and Schoen show both of them were as surprised they were playing as we were, so Oshea needs to explain to the rest of his roster and an entire city why those two guys feelings are more important.

The receivers had like 5 good legs between them.

When training camp ended without a single vet pushed for their job, you could feel this ending coming a mile away.

I was depressed for like 2 weeks last year. No word of a lie. This year, oddly, nothing.

This game was Ottawa. And Labour Day. And last year's Grey Cup. And truly, 2021, but for a Nichols miracle on the goal line. This feels to me like who they are. You saw it all year, and I should be mad right now but it was...expected.

Outcoached. Badly.

Yeah we are losing this game.

Pick 6 territory here.
