This is over the top...  Bombers were toe to toe with the best in the league for 80-90% of that game...

If Foketi stays onside...  we're talking about this season in a totally different way - Bombers would have either won or lost by a few points...

 

Nah, the Bombers were never going to win that game, it was just a question of when the colossal momentum the Stamps built up would crush them like a cheap beer can.

As soon as Bo stopped missing wide open guys, we were toast.

He probably had to make sure they were really that open...first

That was a given at the end of the third quarter. The offense wasn't doing anything and the defense was starting to falter.

Too many squandered opportunities in the first half led to the better team pulling away in the second.

Unusual D look.   Baffled Bo for a while, anyways...

Unprecedented brilliance, for a time...
