Its early but this game is massive for end of the season positioning. Richie Hall said he counted 43 mental error on defense vs Toronto,let's see if they've corrected those. GO BLUE!!!!!!!

TD drives by Offense

Calgary  3  /   Winnipeg  0

So the question becomes, is this a sustainable formula for success or do we have to do something more on offense to continue to be successful?

Everybody breathe.. 6-2 not 2-6, let’s go! In years past we would have 100 percent lost this game against Calgary. How many last minute games have we lost to them over the years? Let’s take care of business next week and we’re sitting pretty at 7-2!  

Fair point - back in the way we would have said “they played hard, it was a good game, but we lost.”

And as my teacher in grade 6 always said: “if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas.”

Well the last few years says that what they are doing works.

Did anybody check to see if Dickenson is ok after being done in by those Fing Canadians?

Except that they went out and signed a bunch of talented receivers.

True that, if not for the INT- that would have been a game we lost by one point again. Ugh.

"If things happened that didnt happen, things would have turned out different!"

If Maston would have grabbed that dropped int. If Bighill would have not missed the tackle on 2nd down. If Matthew's would have caught the deep pass, if Woli caught that TD, if if if if if if things were different, they'd be different....but they're not.

The last few years we have won a total of 1 playoff game. That's what works for you?

It's August 9th.  There's plenty of time to get better.

Ya know, it's sort of frustrating to block certain posters when everyone keeps quoting them all the bloody time...

Maybe the problem here is that half of us want to just be competitive and the other half wants to be more than competitive and win championships. 

Isn't it true that the desire to win championships is what has separated Calgary from the rest of the league? If true, I want that for the Bombers. I want us to be the favorite to win the Grey Cup each and every year.

Is it a question of time or the willingness to do whatever it takes?

Right now the bombers are favorites. You cant win championships in August. All you can be is competitive. This team is.

1st half of the season, they've got at least 6 games won. That's a great set up for when the games really start to matter.

You have to be crazy to think that “desire” is what sets Calgary apart from the rest of the league.    What kind of crap to you keep spewing around here   

Every other team goes into the office every day thinking what can we do to just be good enough.  

If this is how you really feel people think, I feel sorry for you and the organizations you’ve worked for.  

Everyone doesn’t make the correct decisions or executions, but I can assure you desire is not lacking in this organization. 

When it comes down to only one player which is dropping this team from being dominant to only really good....  it only makes sense that most people would want to fix that one player.

I'd rather come play off time have a team who can still win a game *if* the D and ST are not playing at A+++++ level.   I don't want to depend on stars aligning for us to win the big games.

I'm assuming he was referring to the fans.   As in some fans are happy enough to have a team that wins more games then lose.   Other fans can't stand being the runner up and absolutely needs the team to go all in and win the big one.

Then why does he claim “desire” is what has set Calgary apart from other teams?

If that was coming from the fans, Winnipeg or Saskatchewan would win every year.

Well 2 of those playoff losses were the defenses doing, and those issues were largely addressed since then. Last season they lost to the stamps but put up a better fight than the red blacks did in the grey cup game so again, losing in Calgary to the best team in the league isn't a total disaster. 

Some people have expectation problems.

Expecting a qb to throw for first downs in the 4th quarter is too much?

Yah... those who think it's great to win just 1 playoff game in 6 years.

With a lapo offense with a lead? Probably. Remember when  he was the head coach here and we were just good enough to barely lose? Only time his team won was when the defense dragged them there through turnovers. Lapo is a loser plain and simple.
