Amen! Richie Hall should be fired before he gets on the plane back to the Peg.

He can leave LaPo behind as well. Run on first. QB draw or short pass on 2nd. Punt. Wash, rinse & repeat.

Leave Hall in Montreal. 

Yup! Garbage DC. He sure made some quality adjustments at the half.

Tackling in the secondary was awful, too.

I’m genuinely not sure what Streveler could have done differently in the second half. He made the plays that were in front of him. Play calling was once again a joke. It’s not like he was careless with the ball or even missing receivers. 

Classic Lapo ultra-conservative with the lead bullshit telegraphed obvious play calling coupled with Richie Hall trash defense. Unreal.

Pull in the horns on O.  Collapse like a cheap paper bag on D.   If we don't finish first....we can look at this and the TO game, as to why...

It doesn't matter at all where we finish if we cannot hold the lead in critical games.

Bombers 0 put up 31 points. 

This is D and Medlock. Missed FG and PAT

LaPo continually gets less out of the players he has. Inexcusable.

488 yards passing. Bend but Don't break my ass. Adams threw lob balls all night ffs. 

Should of had at least 3 picks. If Wilson can catch its game over 30 minutes ago.

Guess you'll have to put a lot of us on ignore then.

Fire able offense.

Jefferson’s poor contain alone was responsible for a number of big plays against.

I dunno. O put up 31 points.. Went 4 for 4 in the first half. I dunno. It was 34 10. This is D collapsing. Bending and Breaking

Ah, the very definition of tough love. That's my Bombers!

All of.those TD tosses should have been picked off.   None of them were darts. Our friggen secondary was never in position to make a stop.   It's atrocious

 

Brutal display from the db's ...What the hell were they doing allowing receivers to walk around them at will....This club did not look like a Cup contender with that defensive backfield.....Calgary will kill us with that type of defense and the 29 yr. drought will continue with that type of collapse

Edited September 21, 20196 yr by Stickem

There's no point commenting - we've seen this show before... so many times

On the bright side, the first 29 minutes was very good.

Glug, glug, glug

 

Well the good news is we still control our destiny given we play Sask and then Calgary twice.

Oh man, so embarrassing to choke like that.

What a crock of ****. Nichols would be crucified for that 2nd half

Can he please never go to Jamaica again. He was only visible in bad ways today. Was a force of nature before the break.

And did absolutely nothing in the second half. A football game is 60 minutes, not 30. Offense wears the blame just as much the defense does for this loss. The entire team was hot garbage in the second half.

Medlock makes a bloody extra point and this doesn’t happen. 

No we lose in overtime with his convert.

I don't blame Streveler. I blame LaPo. The same plays would have been called if Nichols was playing.

Would have been a different game altogether. Keep oscillating, though.
