I don't think Harris played all that badly today. Calgary's defence was clearly superior to Ottawa's offence. Once Williams busted that kick return for a TD, and then a quick TD pass, Harris had to take chances and got burned. When the RBs got way behind, they had to pretty much abandon their productive run game and that was that. Rogers and Matthews were the difference.

I don't think you have to qualify that statement.

But but but he would be in the NFL.....

Hebert does not seem to have aged a bit in his play.

They're bringing out the fat lady now.

Sooooo close

Ok, maybe the game is not over just yet. Or not.

Apparently Mitchell is the first CFL quarterback to throw for 5000 yards without one 1000 yard receiver. Quite a feat.

Aaaand...there's the game.

Despite the weakness of the East, the RBs are giving the Stamps a better game than the Bombers did.

RBs are still in this one. Gotta stop the big plays, though.

No chance as Reilly and Maas are BFFs.

So long as you can find the loo......

Mea culpa., I haf meant to say that they would be a playoff threat to go deep into the playoffs.

It occurs to me that if Bighill and Loffler defect to BC, that would instantaneously make them a playoff team.

Around the league: Maas' butt was saved by Mike Reilly vouching for him and threatening to leave if Maas was canned. In Vancouver, Hervey has made it known that he will not consider any candidates for HC who have held a previous CFL head coaching job.

It concerns me that there were two good MLBs in Woods and Taylor and there was no indication that Walters pursued either.

Agreed. This is a BIG "if".

Unless the entire coaching staff of the Bombers suffered massive brain cramps, I have no doubt that he would have started immediately with the Bombers as well.

Tough call.

In a way, this hurts more because we looked to be so close, only to be let down.

Do you not think that this same weakness would have led to similar injury during another play? It was probably an accident waiting to happen.

Walters may be good, but when did he become deified?

If I have over-reacted, I apologize, but this is a hot-button issue for me from a clinical point of view. In my practice, I have seen the effects of unresolved emotional trauma and how devastating it often is. 'Nuff said.

Agreed. The book on the Bombers was "take away the short game and Andrew Harris and you've got them." As so it was. Realistically, Adams was the only deep threat and he was largely ignored because it looks like he will not make the tough, contested catches.
