August 18, 20187 yr It infuriates me when we let a team come in and score and then they go for 2 and get it. However that is a winning attitude! Then when we score a TD, our coach basically says to our team "we better kick a single point because I don't believe we can get 2 points to tie it..." Absolutely maddening! He told the team we aren't as good.

Agreed. That made me furious and was a damning condemnation of the defence. It wasn't like the Ottawa offence had the whole field to spread out- just the end zone and a bit and the Bombers still could not stop them even once. This game could be the turning point of the Bombers' season and the end of some coaches' careers. Edited August 18, 20187 yr by Tracker

August 19, 20187 yr Our defense is the perfect type to go for two against. I like the call to go for 2 more often. The biggest reason we seldom do it is medlock is money.
August 19, 20187 yr kicking the single was probably smarter considering how inept the offense was. Medlock is automatic, our offense was **** on the night.

August 19, 20187 yr why are we even arguing about converts anyway? The offense doesn't go 2 and out all night it wouldn't matter.

August 20, 20187 yr You basically have a 50/50 chance of success on a two point convert, so getting 4 in a row in one game is a 6% chance of success. Anyone who doesn't think our defense stinks just needs to stop and think about that for a minute. It would be like you flipping a coin and getting 4 heads in a row.
