Such a simple concept but seemingly difficult for Lapo to understand...and yes I know he is the professional coach and I am a schmuck who sits on my couch and watches football.  
 

but again...Kent Austin a pro coach thought Brandon Banks couldn't be a receiver...

I’m not sure it’s all on Lapo my guess is these are read plays and Strev decided to keep the majority of the time

So many missed calls on the Blue it was ridiculous. Glad we won we deserved it.

I feel bad for bomber fans that need to try and collect on bets placed with SK fans. SK fans never pay. AHoles. 

So i would say the Ticats, Riders and the Stamps will be against us.

Please edit your comment to be in keeping with Canadian vernacular. Everyone knows it's yooz, not y'all. 

This has been a Canadian Heritage Moment.

 

kind of sad that "youze guys" is more or less gone from the vernacular.

most unfortunate.

That's why you never bet them more than 20 bucks. Once the socks are off they're lost.

That's because it was.

I had to listen to the 72 western final on radio.  I was very confused by the punting contest at the end.  Pain is now erased.

Hamilton will be tough and rightfully favoured.  Sometimes upsets happen, though.

Like in 20001....3rd place Stamps squeak into the playoffs on a roll and take us out....we were 14-4that season.....the Cats are 15-3 and have beaten us soundly.    Dane Evans passed for over 350 yards against a good Edmonton secondary,   The storyline here is the return of Collaros to face the team that took him out in the first game of the season....playing them for all the marbles in the last game of the season.    This game may be decided by the Football Gods A's was this one today!   
Zach has won 3 straight games as our new QB under tremendous pressure.....he had help from Streveler last week but today Streveler didn't impact the outcome much.    

Don't get it twisted: Fajardo did not have the injury the Riders said he did.

No chance  no way. 

See ya, you didn't belong in the WF anyway

I am as elated as anyone else about this victory and that the Bombers are going to the Cup game. That said, we scraped by in spite of a offensive game plan that went almost totally dormant in the second half, a defence that got riddled by a gibbled quarterback and with the help of divine intervention. There is no other way to describe it. When Fajardo rolled to his left at the Bomber goal line at the second last possession, he looked to be a shoo-in, but tripped over a fallen Rider lineman.

Fallen...blocked. those arent important details when they dont fit the narrative I guess. Watch it again. The BOMBERS DLINE got lower and knocked him back. They made the play, not god.

Congratulations to the Bombers and all of their fans. That was quite the defensive performance.

Are people actually saying that “fumble” should’ve stood?

As the biggest Rider hater ever, that was an incomplete pass

Disagree. Just like you disagree.
He’ll tell you, like I know he would, that he was trying to roll his arm up and tuck away the ball.

Farjardo said he has two tears in his oblique muscle...I don't think he is going to lie...they could be minor tears but I have no doubt he is telling the truth 

Make Osh use a challenge on a play that the line judge should of caught is bad, having the Command Centre butcher the review is criminal.

Rose on thenint got a club to the head no flag, Marshall I think was twisting away on wolitarsky leg after a catch and run, purify jumpednona  guy already down at least twice....

Don't forget that rider arm to Collaros as he was walking off the field, blatant and not called.

I don't doubt that fajardo was injured, every deep throw was pretty garbage.

You are right but Lapo has to tell the guy - hand the ball off, especially after multiple times of him not.

Well, I think you fumbled that call

I don't buy it being anything over a grade I a month ago 

Lapo shoulda just left collaros in! Streveler wasn't working so why ice the offense like that?
