Collaros ability to survive pocket pressure while Lapo’s plays develop is what saved us.., that and Harris in beast mode and getting 5 Yards after being tackled So, let me get this straight: when the offense succeeds it’s because of Collaros and Harris and how skilled they are, no credit to our offensive coordinator whatsoever. But when the offense struggles in any way whatsoever, now THAT has nothing to do with players or their execution but is instead 100% on the OC and his schemes and calls? Your reasoning, as presented, is a classic illustration of a phenomenon called fundamental attribution error or confirmation bias. Look it up… It’s a real thing. And you are in its grip.

There was some testicular fortitude in his play calling which was nice to see but I still want him to walk. So, your team has just won the championship. And you want to fire members if its coaching staff? This is unorthodox thinking. Edited November 26, 2019 by deepsixemtoboyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying we won on the backs of 8 turnovers, not Lapo's prowess. I'll admit he called a great game, but all year he was same old Lapo. deepsixemtoboyd, B-F-F-C, Logan007 and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When an offence controls the clock by almost 12 minutes..has zero turnovers...scores 30+ points...and wins the game with balanced offence...yeah in my experience thats a pretty damn good called game...not sure what you wanted/expected but the end result was a W Just excuses and using the outcome to justify poorly designed offense.

When youre qb is hitting 50/50 deep balls with deadly accuracy and your rb is plowing through tacklers yeah skill can out shine play call. If any thing its a hasty generalization of post hoc ergo propter hoc. You think because we won and the team put up 30 points the offense was great. While ignoring all the facts from 2 and outs, to 3 total touchdowns in the last 2 games despite red zone drives some where in the double digits, with double digit turn overs forced, and 11 field goal attempts in those 2 games. (15 field goals, 6 tds, 14 turn overs from the D in the play offs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BomberfanMKS Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 If we had ended up behind instead of ahead I don't think the play calling would have changed much (except maybe the 4th quarter where we went run time off the clock mode). THIS is where most of our criticisms of Lapo reside... he has a game plan and if it works, great, if it doesn't.... stick to the game plan. His game plan worked and our defense played well enough that we didn't need anymore out of the offense than what we got. The people who want Lapo gone, want him gone because they feel like if our defense hadn't been so stout, our offense wouldn't have stepped up to fill the gap. IMO - If this had been a close game with the Bombers barely ahead I fully believe we would have seen conservative/predictable, run time off the clock, play calling by Lapo... the kind of play calling that lost us games in the past. Luckily we didn't need to worry about that because our defense just smashed the Ti-cats. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 well sure...but again...we never gave it back with a turnover and even tho we didn't score all TD's..we still got points and kept it at a 2 score lead all game pretty much...and people forget that Ticats were the apparent top defense in league...you have to give them some due even though we smacked them around....and again...it's a 3 phase game, along with a turn over ratio battle and t.o.p thing...both of which we won as well. The other team is trying too ya know...it seems that some folks think that we should just score TD's at will...I'll take a offence where we rarely turn over the ball and score 28+ points a game on average..and generally win the t.o.p battle...which keeps other teams from scoring any day...and yeah if it's in conjunction with the defense getting us the ball back a lot..even better...it is a team game after all.. I truly think many here would, will and do complain about something incessantly regardless of out come and can never be happy or content...and to be honest in my opinion are a bunch of assbags for it..but whatevs..if it makes you happy...........

I said in another thread that Lapo called a good game... but he called a bad game against Sask - he's a decent OC not a great one. Relax, man.

If we had needed more from our offense more would have been asked of them. As it turned out, what was needed was a steady, move the ball, capitalize on field position, protect the football type of offense and that's exactly what we did. Many times I saw Harris and the boys wrap both arms around that football whenever they went into traffic. Hamilton knew they needed turnovers and you could see them reaching in trying to pry the ball away. We gave them nothing and that's exactly what we needed to do. Harris scored early on the ground and Strevs threw a beauty ball to Harris for another TD. That was all we needed on offense. Medlock gave us bonus points and locked things away. Sure the defense was spectacular. Our D made it a day from hell for Dane Evans because they couldn't keep him clean and had no answer for it, max protect or not. Meanwhile, our O-line kept our QB clean and effective. Add in the beauty work on special teams and you have a complete team effort worthy of winning a championship. NO ONE afterwards claimed that we were lucky to win. We weren't. We earned it by playing a top-level game with 60 minute contributions from offense, defense, and special teams. It was a perfect game, really. For that, we owe our thanks to the HC, OC, and DC. They were terrific and this fan has nothing to complain about.
