Well, 2;45 am on Sunday & no one has started the Grey Cup Game Day Thread so it might as well be me. Let's Go Bombers. Lucky #13.

Feeling a tad nervous about later today but I think we'll come through. I don't want to even make Cody Fajardo jokes as we all know this is a winner takes all one game championship so anything (good or bad) can happen. We all saw what happened last week & what occurred in 2001 so we'll have to play our best. If we play our game, we'll win. Not be overconfident or cocky. We're the better team so just take care of business & then we'll be Grey Cup champions.

This game played out like every other game we lost this year.  Out played and out coached in games we SHOULD have won.

And poor roster makeup...hate to say it would come and bite us at worst time....but chomp chomp

Well, good news is I won my Grey cup pool ticket. 28-24 East. $450!!!!!

Where was the crossbar when we needed it?!? Damn you crossbar!!!

Dynasty.... 

I knew there was an upset coming.

Blood money 😆

Time to figure out a plan for life after Collaros.  He’s cooked. 

The OL played well. The linebacking stunk. Secondary didn't get the job done. Our passing game was non existent. We never even tried to stretch the field more than a few times. 

Defense couldn't make the play needed but honestly the offense had the same terrible problems that they did all year. Collaros is really starting to struggle. Can't move the ball consistently. If he plays decent today they win.

What the **** was that last play?

Yeah, why no hail mary?

Our defensive gameplan was all time awful.  We just had the perfect plan for the exact same QB last week.  Guy can't throw, don't give him wide open throws, force him to be accurate.

What at absolute embarrassment for the franchise.  Don't use the word dynasty.

Cannot ******* believe this ******* ****.   2 years in a row we get our ass handed to us in a grey cup.  

This ******* team chokes now twice when they had the game in the bag.   Where the **** was.our defense.  That ******* red zone turnover..  one play.  

OSH needs a hard look in the mirror and stop giving spots to vets.  We need the best damn team every ******* week.   

So aggravating.

Yup, it bit us in the ass, today.   That said, too many vets not making the play.....

Why didn’t MOS throw the challenge flag on that catch and fumble at least to take another look? I’m not understanding that at all.

Houston got exposed quite a bit today. Leaving Rose off the roster is absolutely insane.

What a foolish time to blitz. I can’t believe he blitzed.

So, how do you feel about Dickenson throwing Fajardo under the bus?

Lots of guys playing hurt. And that hurt the team. I blame the coach for that. Also, I wish I had more confidence that the current brain trust could see that Dru Brown needs to stay a Bomber, surely the brain trust can see that. I expect to see some retirements in the off season too. On the O line, the D line and MLB

Zach and Hall shoulder this loss. 

Osh does too....he made the roster...he kept that crap punter all yr...he dressed a useless fb...he dressed a hurt biggie...he took Rose out for Houston ....shamefull

Yep, at least you have a chance for a TD, like B.C. at the end of the half in the WF.

Defence let us down.  Too many big plays given up.  Collaros tossing that EZ INT didn’t help either.

That made absolutely no difference.  We ended up with the ball in almost the exact same spot off the punt.

They had their chance to run it back. Now it's time to make the hard decisions and rebuild for 2025. 

We don't even know if we have a General manager anymore. Let alone wondering what the braintrust sees. 

Hopefully O'Shea learned a lesson but probably not.

Sometimes you need to put a bullet in the old horses (Bighill) and go with the horse that is going to win the game.

Too many passengers on this version of this team.

Very sad end for some.

I think it’s clear the scapegoats were not scapegoats. 
 

I don’t think Fajardo is the reason they got here today, but he sure is the reason they won today.

Defense lost the game. 

Pretty simple really. 

Faj outplayed Zach 

Hall is cooked tho. 

Hall biggie Alexander all look cooked and can go. Collaros just sucks in the playoffs 

Houston can go also
