I’m just a GenX whippersnapper... but J5V, I do believe you’ve perfectly outlined the blessed afterlife in football heaven...

You know, just because Collaros’ helmet is big enough to have its own atmosphere, doesn’t mean it’s free headshot night. F@ck!

Sweet jeebus... i better take my blood pressure meds if I want to survive this game.

Glen Suitor stop justifying the hit you melonhead F!!CK

Bighill has looked like ass most of the season... and I say this as a fan of his.

Three straight runs up the gut on first down. Wtfh Collaros looks good though

Same sh!t secondary scheme - I’m so done watching Hall’s system a. suck against legit opposition and b. fold with the game on the line.

So in other words still not good enough and the result is as we should have expected 😢

This game, as intense as it was to the final seconds... perfectly summarizes the Bombers’ infuriating season. They’re a first half team. All three phases contribute to building a lead. Then after halftime they get buried production-wise and the game slips away. So the talent is there for the most part. The play calling is so painfully inept that we as fans can predict them almost without fail - so imagine how easy it’s become for opponents to anticipate! How can a team go from dominating (or at least being extremely competitive) in first halves, to either barely hanging on or totally blowing it? Comes down to coaching. Throw in some questionable roster management (see: Rasheed Bailey and Geoff Gray as exhibits A & B ) and the result is that our most recent best chance at a championship is halfway down the drain.

Yes! Classic Richie Hall “the flats don’t need defending” playcall!

Hall needs to come down from the booth and hand the signal mic to Young...

Ugh no.d-line.pressure.at.all.

Sick and tired of rules biased in favour of offense.

Brutal execution on that one

Uh oh. It’s early but we may have bad-Lapo calling this one 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m interested to see how our defence does with Ritchie Hall back and calling the shots. The combo of Alexander at safety and Glen Young calling the plays settled in nicely last week and finally made VA jr look like who we thought he was. BLM is a totally different situation altogether but I’m looking for continued aggressive coverage vs the huge cushions/holes the secondary was notorious for (as a result of terrible blitz calls?)

I think that’s fair. In the 4th quarter I expected to see basic, totally telegraphed runs straight up the gut, but for the most part the play calling was much more varied. He let the ground game do what it was designed to do, and Montreal didn’t have any real answer for it.

Why would they... the head ref was the same asshat gleefully chortling every melonhead first down at the LDC. Today he could barely contain his green joy anytime there was a Bomber penalty...it’s like he forgot where he was reffing, and remembered in the nick of time

The drama surrounding this team and on this board is a bizarre tonic for this depressing 3 game losing streak. Been crazy busy IRL but managed to keep up with the reading by supplementing the bathroom breaks with lots of “being out in the shop” type tasks... IF, and this is a big if, O’Shea decides to bolt for TO and Pinball... agree with 17to85 that we woo Khari Jones and all his family and best friends to Winnipeg. Arguably held back by Buono in BC... he’s since shown he has what it takes to take a middling team to gross overachievement. What could he accomplish if he was allowed to manage a Kyle Walters supplied roster??? On a shallower note - what I wouldn’t give to see Khari on the sidelines, in Bomber blue doing his go-time give-em-hell dance...

Three goals from our freshly minted defensive core... Scheif & Laine tied for assists. A fascinating start to our season of uncertainty!

That was Glen Young, the DL LB coach. Thought he did a great job with the defence. Do we know if Alexander at safety was his call, or Hall’s decision before he took personal leave?

If they did this... you’re saying there’s a chance they won’t empty the flats allll the time hmmmm

This is how the pain of the lowest lows and the thrill of the highest highs of Blue Bomber fandom are achieved... when you know you could be better off not giving a sh!t, but you also know you just can’t help bleeding blue and gold.

IMHO our best O-line production was with Gray and Speller at the guard positions. The play execution was pretty good, but missing of late is the agitator factor Gray brought to the line. In his starts he was living rent free in the opposing d-lines’ heads. A shame there is an issue keeping them from going back to that... be it injury or personnel management...

Hwy 2 headed south from Edmonton... about a half a bag of chips’ drive and you’ll see the billboard for the Canadian Chapter of the Flat Earth Society...
