This is good work by Osh.
Special teams were a problem this year. Hopefully Miller can straighten out coverages better.
I appreciate that they had a succession plan in place for Younger. I didn't want to lose him, but I respect the heck out of Richie Hall too. We don't have the Cup rings if his defense doesn't step up. Honestly feel like he was consistently underappreciated.
Two new coordinators will definitely bring a different vibe next year even if both were with the team for a while.

I feel like many here just too heavily discounted Montreal's passing offense. Even with Fajardo they have tons of useful receivers and use them to their strengths. Mack, Philpot and Snead are really good.

Bringing back Walters and the rest of the management group is huge.
We will see if Buck ends up in Sask but that would be a big position to fill. There are not a lot of quality OCs in the league currently.

I'm not prepared to do that tonight. Nice guys finish last. I don't care how hard they tried. They ****** this game up & guys like Ritchie Hall should be sent packing. Maybe in 2-3 weeks, I'll feel different but not now.
Not telling anyone how to deal with this loss. Totally up to you. Just sharing how I've approached it now.

Collaros has sucked at the short game since day 1 here. It worked early on because teams were still in the Bombers gonna lapo the game with nothing but short passes. They've adjusted and Zach won't take the underneath stuff.
This won't be popular but I think LaPo's extreme conservative nature helped balance Zach's strong aggressive nature. He is looking for home run balls constantly at this point.

I went basically my whole life without seeing the Bombers win a Grey Cup until 2019, and my kids have only seen the Bombers win or play in them.
There will be change and this is likely the end of an era. But I'm going to take a second and just reflect on the amazing run that this team had. I am so appreciative to pretty much everyone involved in the organization. Management, coaches, players...they've put so much into it. Winning Grey Cups is just difficult.

Yep... **** any dynasty talk. You could call 19 a fluke and 21 was the weird COVID year which still took OT. I'm calling this all wildly overrated.
We are all angry and hurting but I gotta speak up on this one. The Bombers have been consistently great for the past three seasons and very good before that. Obviously blew it twice in the Cup games but overall they have been one of the best teams in the league consistently.
-
Would happily move on from Zach as he was in my opinion the big issue with the offense. I definitely don't see it happening though. In general I thought the roster deserved a chance to run it back this year. They got the chance and couldn't get it done. I expect we will see lots of turnover now for next year.
-
Defense couldn't make the play needed but honestly the offense had the same terrible problems that they did all year. Collaros is really starting to struggle. Can't move the ball consistently. If he plays decent today they win.
-
The Jets are so obviously poorly run compared to the Bombers.
They have won absolutely nothing yet barely make changes. I'm not even asking for a Stanley Cup parade, they never look like they'll make significant improvement as a fringe playoff team. They are a treadmill team and I think unfortunately the attendance reflects that.

Can't believe Hamilton managed to screw that up with 4 seconds on the clock. Lawrence couldn't wait just one second more. Terrible.
-
What a win. Thought we lost about five different times. Not even sure how we did it. But I will absolutely take it.

Deserved our fate tonight. Lit up early and then offense just couldn't score. If we had made just a couple less mistakes the score would be a lot better looking for us.
-
Zach cost us the game today. Defense was bad early but Zach was way worse. Need to pull him.

Zach has been a real issue today. Just a bit off again all night, now two turnovers.
Defense actually got some stops and we blew it. Lucky to still have a chance.
-
I am fine taking the FG but conservative decisions like that are way more of an issue for Osh. At some point we are going to have to be aggressive. Can't FG them all night.
-
Way too conservative there
-
Zach is great but he's also been killing drives all year with those picks.

Not often do you hear commentators encouraging coaches to challenge to draw a flag...this broadcast is so odd.

Offense better score or we are going to be in trouble.
CFL has a product problem when you bill this as game of the year so far only to have an iffy call like that early on.

If that's PI then they better call it like that all night. Barely contact.

These old Argo highlights really show how awful the current jerseys are now for them.

I actually think more "community owned" teams would be beneficial for the CFL. Private ownership has its own issues, as we have seen terrible owners and also complete lack of good candidates in some cases.
