My lasting impression of the Grey Cup is Osh playing Collaros with an injured finger which was a disastrous decision. Then he started Jake Thomas rotating him & Schmeckel at DT on a 3 man front & being stood up, pushed back, running around on his tippy toes being the 5th guy in on his tackles & manhandled on every fricking play he was in. Schmeckel wasn't much better. Both guys were on an island being mugged every play while WJ played the game of his life. Those 2 were an embarassment. FF to last night, no defensive ends to rotate in & Thomas still there, still starting & still as useless as ever.
Yeah I don’t doubt that we could improve on Thomas but the defence is solid regardless, and it is designed as to prioritize coverage over backfield pressure.

You should still be able to get pressure tho with your line...also if pressure on QB makes him throw under duress...rushed...or before receiver is open then the DB's will really eat...you have the right guys up front...you will get pressure
That mentality in last yrs cup with Arbuckle of all people gave the Argos an time of possession well over 30 mins on us if I recall correctly
Hard to score when defence on the field...and wears them down...especially when you have a piss poor offensive game plan of your own...and or are clinging to a QB in decline based on his past success...recipe for losing big games..
Up front we need younger...more athletic and active lineman to compliment WJ and Vaughters...and Lawson...Adams is exactly that...Woods...Person...Bailey are too..Thomas...Korn...are not...I'd actually roster Scmeck over both and have just him and Lawson...he at least is tenacious and is a plus on the jumbo for offence and would serve more use...we also in this scheme need dlineman with technique and hand skills/fighting ability which would help immensely...Thomas and Korn (at this juncture) have none...the aforementioned tho all do
Last year’s Grey Cup was a turnover fest, can’t blame the defence on that one. The offence has to give the defence a chance to succeed, and that was simply a dreadful performance. The stats throughout the year suggest that the coverage defence strategy works, and again, early on this year, the defence looks promising.

We need more pressure up the middle....Most of the time Masoli was playing pitch and catch....Offence seemed complacent after scoring the first 20 pts and seemed content to sit on the lead...Can't do that with the top clubs and walk away with 2 pts......Overall we were adequate.... Did not like our punter....Seems to lack leg strength when we need a deep ball....Not good enough
More pressure up the middle typically means more defenders at the line and less coverage downfield. That’s not how Jordan Younger operates. Last year too, they ranked last in sacks but still managed to finish first in offensive points given up, net offensive yards given up, first downs given up and passing yards given up. If the Bombers can replicate that this year I think we should be thrilled!

Re-watched the game. Bombers D had very little push up the middle but overall D is solid.
I do think that is by design. Paul Lapolice touched on it in his Bombers season preview. Since last year, they have adopted a coverage defence rather than a pressure defence. Last year, it resulted in the defence ranking first in offensive points given up, net offensive yards given up, first downs given up and passing yards given up despite ranking last in sacks and second-last in interceptions. If they can reproduce that this year I won’t complain!

I agree. He is a lowlife, and unfortunately, the Argos seem to have quite a low bar on who they will employ. Mind you the Riders would likely snap up a guy of his character just as quickly.
Unfortunately, I think more sports teams fall under that category than we would like to think. See Artemi Panarin's recent sexual assault case for example. Superstars seem to be able to get away with that kind of behaviour consistently.

I always said over the course of the regular season that the only thing Lucky brings to the table is ball security. His speed appears to be gone, he doesn’t see the field well… and in the Grey Cup you can’t even count on his ball security. I really hope it is the last we see of him in a Bombers jersey.

Collaros, the receivers and Lucky are the biggest reasons for this loss

He’d mop the floor with you in any football sense you may think you have. He is one of the reasons I come to this site. Don’t embarrass yourself more than you already have.
I appreciate his analysis too, generally speaking, but the constant whining in GDTs completely ruins these threads. Expertise and bias are not mutually exclusive.

Offense was brutal, Lucky was brutal. That’s not a recipe for success.

I thought I was the only toddler around here, apparently not. I’m sensing @JuranBoldenRules knows just a bit more about football than you do, just a guess tho.
He’s extremely biased in his observations to the point where it is embarrassing

Apparently they can run the play clock down to 00 then decide if they want to snap it.
10 yard penalty inside 3 mins...big no call on a 45 yard FG.
Wah wah wah quit the whining omg
and I say that as a Bombers fan

You certainly know TSN is pro Argos. It's sickening.
Didn’t six of nine panelists pick the Bombers to win?

The o-line is looking great so far.

Man...I've watched it about 6 times, Lawler's toe is in, then heel comes down.
Also, Toronto just hammering our guys at their breaks in pass cover. Even on the Lawler play, the guy just chucks him at the top of the route.
That’s 100% incomplete. You would be livid if it was ruled a reception by Toronto.

Unbelievable finish wow

No 2 point attempt? Vanilla team being vanilla.
Hopefully doesn’t come back to bite us, but thank god we got a TD!

Wow Collaros threw up a prayer and it worked! 🙏

Only time I complain is when they call infractions like offside or holding against one team but not the other.
Lawler’s offside was incredibly obvious. No referee would have let that go. By your standards, Demski would be called for offside multiple times per game.

Twice in a row.
Refs let it go 99% of the time when it’s that borderline. Nothing to complain about there.

So?
Borderline offsides from receivers are let go all the time. It’s the obvious ones that get called.

Thats only called on the opposition
Lawler’s offisise was way more obvious.

I don’t disagree, but i think the turnovers are a big reason why Argos dominated TOP.
