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.

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.

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!

Bombers +8 on net punting over Lions in the two games.  Sheahan's net through 2 games would be 2nd in the league last season.
But yeah, Bombers suck right?

Our entire defense aside from Jefferson Gauthier and Thomas has turned over since 2022.
Kickers, receivers.  

Not sure the emotional reaction to cut down day is warranted.  But I guess football is too boring.

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.

$$$$ will buy you anything 

Not trying to be an ass, just clarifying what your position is on MOS. You think he should be fired. That's your opinion and you are welcome to it. Just so that it is clear to me, and everyone else, what the motivation for your criticism is, I do not feel Osh is the sole reason for our success at all, far from it. I just feel we would not be able to upgrade on him and I feel he and Walters have done an excellent job together in building quality football teams. 
If you think MOS's time has expired with our team, that certainly is a possibility. I just don't believe that a coach necessarily has an expiry date. I believe players do and that the coach needs to recognize that, but I also can see the logic in a coach being loyal to guys and how that can help the locker room and recruitment/retention. Either way it's a balancing act for sure, but one that can be maintained even if the scale tips one way or the other occasionally. At the end of the day, the players still speak glowingly of him, play very hard and disciplined for him, and the culture and locker room is strong. I guess I'm not seeing the end of the road yet, as you are. That's not me being chicken little or in denial, that's just my opinion based off results year over year. You see some mistakes he is making and think they outweigh the positives, I see mistakes he is making and think they do not outweigh the positives, there really is no definitive winner of this argument. It's solely opinion on both our parts and we are both entitled to them is all I'm saying. Neither of us can prove each other wrong, nor do I feel the need to do so on my part. You will bring up the negatives of MOS, I will bring up the positives, it's the ying and the yang of this forum's discussion about him I guess.

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

You know... you can use the mute function to ignore that, right? 
 

Doesn’t matter if toe was in. The talon landed on the white stripe. Lawler was a little nonchalant on that reception.

I will echo everyone’s sentiments here. Special teams were sub-par but otherwise a rock solid game from everyone.

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.

Now don't be ******* and go for 2 

And watery vanilla at that.

This team is so vanilla.

Thanks champ.

Zachy boy had lots of time there

Why does Lucky always run straight into the cluster **** of bodies instead of trying to kick it out wide?

Lmao now you’re lying to yourself. You know who was trashing the officiating two weeks ago after the Bombers win against Hamilton? Tiger-Cats fans of course. It’s always the fans of the losing team trashing the refs, on every game day in every sport and it’s ridiculous. There is zero objectivity coming from you or most people on this board seemingly.

Interesting take. I don’t see any evidence that Wilson crossed the line, personally. Maybe he did, but I don’t see how it could have been overturned based on the video we saw. 🤷 
I understand where you are coming from. Perhaps I got a little agressive in defending my point of view.
