17to85 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Yeah the als were awful against the good teams but good against the poor teams, which is why they are technically over .500 but don't count as a good team. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 this yr was quite the anomaly....some real...REAL bad teams...especially early in the yr, and some real good teams, pulled a deuce and lost too some crap piles where there no way they should have for whatever reason...This is why I thin the playoff's...may have an upset...or 2 Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that on the day that either of Montreal or Hamilton show up to BMO with their best team playing their best game, the Argos are still solid favorites and rightly so. You are a credit to your and all cfl fan bases though. I’ll also say I’m not sure in tor being favoured. Not talking betting lines or any thing straight up winning. I feel like Toronto has had their foot off the gas soo long and has relatively few games and adverse moments shared with their core players. This Argos team reminds me of a less star studded 01 bombers. Coasted way too hard into the play offs and during. it will be a great indicator of how effective dw is at coaching discipline and preparation. If he has those guys amped up playing hard and smart in the ef/grey cup he will be a staple of grey cups for a long time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were almost universally picked to be the basement dwellers after how the offseason went for them. Credit where it's due, and an instructive lesson.

Like F last year we have a kicker and Prukop not tossing a lame duck that game more then likely ends differently. It usually comes down to a few plays. I don't love to rehash these memories... but to me there were 5 major moments where if any ONE of those were reversed, the Bombers would've won: 1. Leigghio missed kick 2. Prukop 4th quarter INT 3. Collaros 4th quarter INT 4. not stopping the Argos on 2nd and 20 5. Jeffcoat injury (I'm convinced this would have subsequently also reversed #4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyAbonny Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 When was the last time the Bombers lost to a team 2 games straight? Sask in 2018? I hope they play the Argos in the Grey Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach over gunning Oliveira on the first series or elingson dropping a pass on one of the first 2 series... those cost us first downs and derailed everything.

After being completely dominant all season long we just flat out laid an egg in the biggest game. It happens...just very poor timing. The Argos, to their credit, came to play but let's call a spade a spade the Bombers made a crap load of unforced errors in that game.
