Basic coaching to avoid risks late in a game. Try a longer FG, with downs left to play, and give TO the ball with a minute ish left to play? no.

They would have had to do it on the road in both games. Have to win 2 games to get to the GC. It's just a whole other ballgame. Calgary probably doesn't choke that bad in a WF either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 2 hours ago, TheSource said: Goes to show you how quickly a team can turn it around if they know what they are doing and have an appropriate level of financial commitment from the organization. Same can be said about Saskatchewan, although they did fall a bit short. And Bombers show what happens when you don't have people who know what they are doing and do not have the financial will to be great from the organization. Now, to be fair, Bombers are not terrible anymore, but they are still not top tier. Would love it if Bombers, like Toronto, became serious about winning a GC as the main priority, but not sure if they will ever be able to do that in the new reality of the CFL. The biggest difference from my point of view is that the Argos were wise enough to hire experienced coach and GM and who had been successful in the past. I would put Nichols against Ricky Ray any day of the week, but this year and last we paid for the learning curve of our coach and GM, and they may still not be up to the grade of Toronto's staff.

Arnold_Palmer Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Bo Levi ZERO as in zero clutch. Instead of playing it safe for the field goal, or playing it underneath (remember there was over 20 seconds left.. plenty of time) he wanted to be the hero and threw it into double coverage.

Popp and Trestman have the contacts down south to find new studs, we need a connection like that if we are going to recruit better players.

Atomic Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think that's selling them short. We were in the East for years and never capitalized. It's tough to win the Grey Cup no matter the circumstances. bearpants and Goalie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe Edmonton = Saskatchewan then yeah I guess their roads were the same lol. I'm not really talking about Calgary though. Clearly they are some of the best chokers of all time. I'm comparing the Argos road with the likes of Winnipeg or Edmonton. And how if the tables were turned (Toronto going through the west) it would have been a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) last season, gave ball to buckley on goal line instead ofmessam. Maybe their coach screws up in the clutch. Edited November 27, 2017 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
