Had a chance to hang out with the Grey Cup tonight. Very cool. Getting excited for the game.

Selective memory.  The Ottawa-Hamilton game just last week was fantastic. 

Ok, I thought you were talking about the east semi-final.  My mistake.
 
Manning looks to be done at this point.

Semi finals are not guranteed good draws.
Been that way for years across league but every year a media type flips his wig like its its an alarming new trend thats come out of the blue.
Sun's Mitchell carries on the tradition I guess.

Selective memory.  The Ottawa-Hamilton game just last week was fantastic. 

Now, Hank might show up during the brrr games, but it won't erase how well he's performed up to this point. Easy MOP, including a new completion record tonight.
Never was a Burris fan, but man, what a year.

Montreal averages a full yard more per rush, given up 24 fewer sacks than the Bombers, even with having a rookie QB at the helm for the majority of the season.
 
Whoever is grading their OL the lowest is hugely biased or incompetent.

0-11 against teams .500 or better.     Disgraceful.  

Most of the blame lies with those who determined the ticket prices.  A clear failure there.

They just won a MTV Video award for best rock video.  Since MTV caters to the 16 - 24 year old crowd I'm pretty sure they are still relevant.

Well no worries about the cold effecting the performance Computers aren't affected by the cold.

What's wrong with fall out boy? Pretty sure some would complain regardless. They Are a pretty popular band. Several good songs. Not sure what the issue is

Joe Zaleski did. Actually he had a worse record than O'Shea's first two years.
 
Bomber organization stuck with him for a third year and were rewarded with 3-12-1 season.

Worst that could happen is if the team gets off to a terrible start next year and fires O'Shea mid-season.  Bombers will end up being in a similar situation to 2004 and 2012 in which the best candidates already have jobs and they hire a 2016 version of Burke or Jim Daley..

The defense is the best part of our team, but they didn't wear down as the game went on. Ottawa threw for 300 yards in the first half. 

Team does NOTHING in first Q of must game, at home.
All star Stanley Bryant looked pretty bad today (he had company)
Our best cover guy gives up a long TD, with 8 seconds to go, in the half
We have lead, momentum and field position...and our punter shanks a 15 yder
Losses and a turnover on poorly designed gimmick plays.....
Give up a million 2nd down conversions, on D
Ottawa rams it right up the gut down the field for winning score, in crunchtime.....
 
I could go on.....and on....and on.....but this is what losing teams do to lose, consistently
 
and this is a losing team, strictly on merit.
 
Same ole crap....

Team is crap because they fold in crunch time, defense included. The Ottawa oline completely dominated our D on that last drive.

A single win would be a major winning streak around here.....

Why do people still insist firing Berry was a mistake.  He had lost the room.  This was well known at the time.  When that happens the only option is to fire the coach.
 
Teams don't need an out-of-control coach raging on the sidelines losing all common sense at key points in the game ie) see Berry pulling out challenge flag to challenge a challenge lol.
 
There is a reason he is no longer working in the league folks and was never hired to be a head coach again.

He will go on Hustler and Lawless and say things aren't progressing as quickly as they would like but they are moving in the right direction.  Assuming Walters doesn't go to Guelph I would guess they will sell improvement with the new OC...with that comes new schemes and gasp actual offense.  I imagine they will make some big free agency signing or two...Harris?  I'm trying to think of any other big names out there in the FA market for next season.
 
That 's all I got.  Oh wait.  Royal Blues are back for the entire year in 2016 aren't they?

Five wins & we're talking about a playoff spot? How exciting... We've won 2 games in our last 8... The team is spinning its wheels.  Same as last year. What the guy did is something I'd never do but it's a free country & he can get rid of his tickets any way he likes. Maybe the Bombers should field a decent team more than twice every 15 years. 

I took a look and the number of available seats has started to rise.  Appears to be 2500 available.  Granted this happens at every Grey Cup in the weeks leading up to the game - lots of pairs, or parcels of 3 or 4 seats will pop up, sometimes in prime locations.
 
Interesting that I haven't heard a word from the media regarding seat sales in quite some time.  Being asked to keep things hush-hush?

We retained Marcel, for this year.   Big mistake.
 
We didn't dump him early in this season.  
Despite the total futility, we didn't dump him mid-season, deciding to ride out the year with him.  
 
How many clues did the our brain trust really need, to make an essential move, to give us some sort of chance?
 
Hope that the folks who kept talking to me about stability, making panic moves, not being able to find an OC, after season start, etc, etc....are  good and happy now.

Raining...slick field...
ST continues its big play mode....
Wild forces fumble....Castillo recovers own KO
But deep handoff on 3 and 1...Blue stuffed on said wet field
Just one more moronic call on O...
RB's say thank you....
...and drive 95 yds for TD on their first possession....
Burris having easy pitch and catch session, for first half...
Nichols overthrowing....happy feet....looks bad...
One first down on O, in opening quarter....
Ottawa O - quick tempo, spreading field, quick passing...
Bomber O - slow tempo, all passing in front of DB's
Wild playing well....but only takes part of the snaps...
Marshall only guy doing anything on O.....
But Bombers seem to lose track of him, for long stretches...
While D. Scott accomplishes nothing.... except a fumble....
Tony Burnett had a forced fumble and a sack....as part of rotation....
the FB lining up as WR....very tricky, no?    No.
Bombers D gave up ton of yds...but good in red-zone...
Hurl not that quick in pursuit.....
Too many missed tackles after the catch, overall.....
Bucknor still the opposition's go-to guy....
Blue Offense had all those popguns snapping....
..ZERO points..3 first downs and 34 passing yds in 1st half....
16-0 Red Blacks at the half...with 21 minutes TOP!
Bombers come out with 65 yd TD drive....
...as they discover that when Marshall is involved....
...Nichols can run play action and half rolls.....
...and complete some passes...
Too bad 3 of them went to the Red Blacks.....
..including 2 to (sigh) Jovon Johnson....
Overall, pass pro not bad....
Goossen looking pretty good...
Bomber D runs out of gas in last 3 minutes...
Ottawa gets long TD drive to go up 27-9
Bombers get a face saving drive for late TD...
Then Ottawa gets cute and turns it over on downs....
Nichols hits Denmark for TD....with 30 seconds left
...some more lipstick for this pig.....
Down 27-24...short kick miracle?
...it goes 10 yds...RB's recover...no rabbit in hat.....
Pretty good 60 minutes from special teams, tonight...
..too bad D and O can't do the same....
..as yet another disastrous 1st half...puts Blue behind 8-ball
....and puts playoff spot in dire jeopardy...
...and puts my liver at risk as well....
