At least Bilbo came home with a ring! 😂

Looking forward to reliving what could have been this season and scrutinizing every little change going into next year.

yeah I got moocho abuse about cant do wrong Oshea but I saw this coming all yr...we escaped it a few times luckily, but it did bite us when it mattered

thing is...with our poor roster management we had to make 3 moves to cover 1 issue due to an injury, and thats what will happen...confusion and communication errors...It's not about BA not having it anymore...truthfully there is nothing wrong with his game....it's more how we deployed guys...Now if Clements was in Biggies role, and we had Rose on the roster...a smart savy vet...and one who all the DB's say is like a coach on the feild and makes them better as a group...well he steps into Parkers spot...and we aren't having this convo...BA is at safety....we have no communication issues with the corner and half and that play is broken up...picked off over the top or not even there for the taking...

Like I said...utilize what he does best....playing off and ability to close, and put that at safety, as then he would be getting picks, instead of tackles after the catch or the knockdowns when he really gets the jump...thats where he would be best served moving forward...we don't need a sledge hammer there....especially if we get some muscle back up the middle, and some HB's with physicality, and ability to jam and disrupt routes, and whallop guys when the whalloping is there. We rely too much on letting plays unfold under neath and moving up to it....If we alter a philosophy a bit, and force teams to have to push down field...Ol fancy feet would prob have double digits in picks coming from depth over the top..especially if he has good eyes...yr 3 next yr he should now

Great leadership there Biggie. 

Are we talking about the same play? I was talking the INT in the endzone. He couldn't even get back to the ball because the throw was short of where it needed to be.

Bighill throwing other players under the bus is a bad look IMO.

Okay. But let’s not ignore the fact that he is beyond finished. I don’t care about the cap. He’s bad.

We carried an IMP FB all year, we could make it work with a backup IMP RB instead

Didn't Bighill leave the CFL for New Orleans, and then instead of going back to BC, he came to Wpg instead? Right before Training Camp...

I hated the reclaim the throne theme, reminded me too much of unfinished business! 

Agree if the throw was a jump ball, Lawler would win it. No chance to leap backward through the DB to high point that ball.  Also agree that play should be a TD 9 times out of 10. Just not with that throw.

I posted that break down earlier in this thread. Yes, that’s his play off stats as a bomber. They’re terrible. He maybe had 1 solid game stats wise. 
You’re right. He won, no one gets to bag on him. I bet if I broke down his play off stats and compared em to zachs as a bomber people’s head would explode. 

After the benefit of two days hindsight, giving up a 30 yard pass on 3rd and 5 against Cody Fajardo to lose the Grey Cup is about the single dumbest thing I can think of. I can't believe the team put themselves in that situation and I hope they wear the cone of shame all winter for it.

Should of dumped it to Demski or thrown the ball into the back corner.   It was under thrown. 

No I think jbr is right, db read collaros the whole way and went where the ball was going. He looks to demski the db goes there. Either option there was a chance for a score IMO, just needed better placement on the ball. I know some people say Lawler could have caught it... but then simplest thing is to put the ball to the back of the endzone and avoid the coverage all together. 

What the hell happened on that 3rd down? How did some nobody just run right past the D. It wasn't even a great throw, Parker may have got to it if he wasn't scrambling to catch up.

DP had an exceptional game yesterday. Did everything asked of him and more. Props to him knowing what his role was and executing almost perfectly.

Can't put that on Lawler. If Zach had thrown it out to the corner, the DB couldn't have made a play on it. 

Forget Gauthier. The real question should have been would Wilson or Clements or Cole have broken up that pass? Maybe. Gauthier can remain a teamer and occasional rotational guy thanks. 

Can't put that on Lawler. If Zach had thrown it out to the corner, the DB couldn't have made a play on it. 

I was thinking last night as I tried in vain to fall asleep (I got there, but man it took a long time) that this was almost easier when there were no expectations of us, year in and year out. But expecting to be great and expecting to win.... then you repeatedly lose to inferior teams in the big game......... it's really really hard. 

Nothing wrong with the read to Lawler, he just didn't get the ball out there far enough. If he puts it where it should go, the DB can't make that play. The route isn't designed for Lawler to be stopped and waiting for the ball.
