Hard to get that picture out of my mind.

I'm probably the only one on this board who was cheering for the Riders (or at least admits it). I can't stand Jason Maas or Alexander, plus I've lived in SK for years...but yeah, SK deserved it, they were the best team this year, and also today. Congrats to them. Hopefully the Bombers come back stronger in 2026.

The Riders are playing 1 American Receiver (I believe), but 4 American O-lineman. Thus the great running game and protection for Harris. Collaros could have 1 more good year in the 'Peg; however he'll need better protection or he'll end the year in the hospital.

The Riders #1 receiver (IMHO) Keesean Johnson is not playing in the Grey Cup - he only practiced once this week due to injury. Mike O'Shea, are you taking notes?

Lots of fans to the West of you will be looking to buy.

You are quite right. However, after going to 5 straight Grey Cups and following that up with a disappointing season (where we made the playoffs and had double digit wins), a sane Wade Miller will not overreact and clean house. The chances that a less competent regime would follow this one are more likely than not. Changes? Sure! Cleaning house? That's asinine!

The last time we cleaned house we hired Mike Kelly. The time before it was Jeff Reinbold. Just saying. If Zach stays next year, we need a couple of upgrades on the O-line...otherwise we'll be lucky to get 9 games out of him.

I'd like to see them ask Collaros to take a pay cut (say $150K) for his last year. Use that extra $ to shore up D and O line.

We were outmatched today. Our defense was the strength of this team all season. Not today. Defense got clubbed, stomped on, and thrown around like a rag-doll. Offense had one great quarter. But maybe 33 points should be enough to win most games. Montreal was my pick at the start of the season to win the Cup.

Jason Maas has to be the Biggest Jerk coach in the CFL in a long time. His head's always on the verge of exploding.

Hmmm. Sure. And it's just as likely they could replace them with a Jeff Reinbold. And we know how that turned out...

Yeah. We were down 17-0 in the '84 Grey Cup too...so it is possible.. but I'm not feeling too hopeful here.

This one could get ugly.

Is it too late to sign Elgersma and get him into a Jersey for this game???

Streveler had a guy WIDE open about 10 yards from him in the end zone...that's the reason right there why he's not starter material.

Weird.

I've said it all season...if Alexander stays healthy, this Montreal team is the leagues best...and it's not close.

Okay. I see your point. But with rushing only 3...would it matter who we put in?

If we win, it's all because of our defense and Vaval. This defense is good enough to beat anybody. The offense...well...

I know Streveler is no Dieter Brock...but yikes...I've never seen anything like this in my 55 years of watching football.

What's the over/under on how many 2 and outs we'll have today?

Yeah, as comical as that sounds, if our front 3 can't even get within 5 yards of the QB...why rush anybody??

Yup...not much optimism for this one. Defense is our strong suit...and they just got stomped on.

When Collaros comes back, Streveler needs to be demoted to #3 (or lower)...he's digressing.

I could play QB for the Bombers. I mean heh, at 59 yrs old I can't throw further than 20 yards without my arm hurting...but at least I won't throw a pick...
