Oven mitts. You can quote me on this: O'Shea will quit or be fired (or leave by mutual agreement) rather than change. I do not see that as possible, given his personality and "winning" record as a head coach.

Not sure who is responsible for that truism, but I would bet it comes down to the head coach who decides who is on the field or not. When you look at it, in each consecutive Cup appearance, we have done worse than the previous one. Reminds me of the Russian farmer who, when asked about the current year's crop forecast replied." Worse than last year, but better than next years". The sooner the better.

I think it is worse than not having trust in the backup QBs- it sure as spit looked like O'Shea was going to go with Collaros come Hell or high water so long as Collaros could drag himself out onto the field. That is consistent with O'Shea's M.O. for the past few seasons.

And everyone short of O'Shea knew that. There have been rumours that Paddy has been playing on one good leg since training camp, so he might deserve a pass for now. We are past the point where a tuneup is in order- we're looking at a full overhaul, and I doubt if O'Shea will be part of that. He presents as very set in his ways and at his age, very unlikely to change.

I am over my hissy-fit and have apologized to my wife, so am allowed back on my laptop. This was far crueler an outcome than previous years. Last year Collaros was spiraling downwards in the playoffs and the team was lucky to get to the Cup game and I didn't think we had a chance. This year, Collaros looked like he exorcized his demons in thrashing the Riders, but choked even worse than 2023. And the sub-par players from last year were all brought back to be starters. The only coach who should not be afraid to answer his phone is Younger.

We do not need a QB mentor who is costing a half-million plus per year and tutors a QB who is forced to execute crappy game plans.

I will not expose you all to my bile any further. See you next year.

A perfect ending to the game.

Can you feel angry and nauseous at the same time?

But......

After the third such performance, cannot disagree. Fool me once....

The defence was good enough to win, the offence gave the game away.

Truth is, we were outcoached and beaten by a team which knew how to beat us. Bombers deserved to lose. Again.

I am absolutely furious. We have now lost three Grey Cup games in a row that we could have won had the problems on the team been resolved in training camp or during the season. And they are the same damned problems: inability of out offence to adjust, pathetic kicking game, crappy special teams, weakness at center, safety and kicking game.

Aaaand....the game is over.

The game is functionally over already, but the Bombers have a chance to salvage it.

Looks like this will be the third consecutive choke job by the Bombers, If so, nobody should be safe.

Think it was over his head.

We finally get a call in out favour, and it was legit, too.

OK. I am officially confused as to what to think now,

CHALLENGE THE GODDAM CALL!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS AYERS! Somebody still wants to win.

Faint hope reignited but wavering weakly.

Argos smell blood in the water now.

to give the offence any hope, the defence has to force a two and out.
