Captain Blue

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.

My mistake

Some people complained about Richie Hall's defenses... I like Younger a lot but they looked pretty bad today. Admittedly maybe it would be a bit better if the offense did anything consistently.

Osh should rightfully get a lot of blame for tonight but also hard to watch that and not think there was simply a talent difference too so that's on Walters. We just don't have the guys this year. We are going to be in a tough situation where we are fighting for a playoff spot so need to scrape wins together, but also need to attempt to find some long term solutions, particularly at QB. Like no wonder Osh plays Collaros when he's even remotely healthy, they have no chance with Streveler at all. Which tells you what you need to know about Wilson too. They gotta find a QB for 2027.

This is the natural conclusion of our good run I guess, this year is a real fall back to earth. So many spots to replace.

Brady looks absolutely devastated

Again I used to believe that but no amount of scheming is going to overcome a QB that is unable to hit some of these throws (or know when NOT to throw it). Between that and the fact he isn't as fast (or healthy) as he was before and it's pretty clear it's just not going to happen for him.

Not going anywhere with Streveler, and I was always a believer you could craft an offense around his skillset. Proven wrong now. They need to look at the other options quickly.

Younger clearly prefers not to blitz. It is not a strategy I enjoy but it's clear that's his way and the results previously were good. Now more of a mixed bag. But again the defense was mostly fine...until it got torched at the end of the game. We are so, so screwed at QB. That is the biggest issue for me. Hogan is out to lunch but it is very clear that Streveler is not going to be the answer. Not overly optimistic on Wilson but who knows.

Loss is more so on the Hogan, Collaros and the offense. Collaros gifted them points. Offense didn't score any points the entire half. This performance was absolutely embarassing.
