Captain Blue

I can somewhat agree - it's clear we are regressing, but after back to back Cup wins you can really only regress right? Nobody wins forever.

It was still a heck of a run for 5 Cup appearances and yet another winning season. Used to beg for a 10-8 season some years. This team could have folded after an all time failure of a first half. But they didn't. That should count for something, even though the result was still a loss. Coaching staff and players battled back. Frustrating year for sure but its more enjoyable to remember the fun parts too.

Well it will be a wild offseason

I hope Alexander plays just awful next week. Cannot get over how awful an impression I got of him as just an actual person.

Really just should not have punted on the last possession. Would prefer to lose with aggression then with a whimper of defense.

Defense just freaking blew it. No excuse for the easy missed tackles there. Montreal somehow played so well to start then got lucky to win it basically.

So much for that.

Gotta score and take the lead here. We have only a few possessions left and need to assume Montreal will score on one of theirs

Is it? If the Bombers jump in there and keep hitting what are the odds we get a flag for roughness?

The player literally went backwards several yards. Progress was stopped. Refs definitely giving it to Montreal now.

Okay now I'm pissed, refs just refusing to blow it dead when he goes backwards but let him then carry on after

Was already on the way down, by the book it's a flag. Think it's a generous call in a playoff game when the play was basically dead.

Refs gonna ref

Brady just can't fumble there. Just brutal

Collaros is so interesting to me. Will go down as a Bombers legend but also just infuriating still.

Alexander is really legit good but you can tell he's high on his own fumes.

Pretty awful game, our offense just isn't going to keep up. Looks like an ugly end to the season. Getting into miracle and hope territory if we can't get a major on the board soon.

Well we got the win but boy that was ugly. Mace has that Sask D flying. They were extremely aggressive all night.

Did we just lose with a timeout left over? Only saw the end but not sure why we didn't call a timeout on their third down

Well it's at least not a catastrophe, but this dude is for sure heading the CFL into NFL Junior League.

In typical CFL fashion, what a weird way to operate. An announcement of a big change coming in a press conference, in the middle of the season.

Yes but that's what I'm saying, you can criticize his actions (not pulling a player, etc) but really whatever he says tonight or tomorrow post game is not something I'm personally getting worked up about. I don't really care what he says about Strev tonight for instance. The more he plays him though (and doesn't change QBs) will increase my criticism of that move.

No argument here, I loved Richie Hall and give a ton of credit to his defensive work for our run of success.

Could absolutely be the case, we need an infusion of talent there. I do think he is not overly interested in rushing the passer, said as much last year and this year.

Honestly I know it bothers people but there are almost no coaches (and certainly almost no good ones) that are going to light their team on fire in public after a loss. This is just standard operating procedure. Definitely can criticize him for his actions or inactions but whatever he wants to repeat to the public doesn't really bother me. Coaches have their lines, and they'll usually stick to them.
