He ain’t it anymore. If the cost is letting Dru Brown walk, we need to make sure we don’t pay it. 

Let’s keep in mind the amount of Zach’s contract that is guaranteed in year 3.

I felt the offence as a whole did enough to win this game vs Montreal but the defence let the team down.  No way should we give up 3 touchdowns to that team. 

If anyone needs to leave it.s Hall. 

In the end, being loyal to his vets has cost osh prob 2 Grey cups 

Biggie today. Dude shouldn't have been out there. Biggie should know better, I feel he put himself above the team and osh said ok... schoen was ok but not his usual self... didn't make a difference (Zach sucked again) 

Zach also got the start banged up last year I believe. The loyalty to the vets is what cost us. 

The Jackson fascination is just insanity tho

That 2nd and 18 play should have been lights out.  People asking for where the roster stuff comes into play.  When our D was most dominant neither Jeff was playing more than 2/3 of snaps.  Tonight on field whole game.  When we were those guys we'd have had 3 ends on the field for the last drive with all having full tanks from being rotated all night.  Comes time to make the play to end the game.  They blow contain and Fajardo is into the secondary.

Same vs Ottawa.

Same vs Hamilton.

Didn't learn from our mistakes and repeated them on the biggest stage that mattered the most.

I was coming hear to start this thread but its three pages already.

Get rid of Zach and his $600,000. You could pay Brown $300,000-$350,000 which likely saves you around $300,000.

Gives you $ for Schoen+Bailey+Brady.

....all of the finger pointing in the world won't fix the problem we have ...A good look in the mirror by a few on this club is a start.....dynasty my bloody aunt fanny...what a con job

$100,000.

Less than 2% of the cap.

Yep... **** any dynasty talk. You could call 19 a fluke and 21 was the weird COVID year which still took OT. I'm calling this all wildly overrated.

And extra Canadians on the DL because reasons. 

2 years in a row they  have neglected what made them champions. Quality depth on the defensive line.

Ok let’s settle down now. Going to four straight Cups isn’t a fluke. We just don’t finish when it matters.

Dude is on DMT

The J's are at the point where you have to pay attention to snap counts.   We completely failed in this area all season.........

We are all angry and hurting but I gotta speak up on this one. The Bombers have been consistently great for the past three seasons and very good before that. Obviously blew it twice in the Cup games but overall they have been one of the best teams in the league consistently. 

Please.  The defence was horrible. They were playing against an inept offence and we should have held them under 20 points for sure. The offence wasn’t great but did do some good things on the ground against a good defence. The passing game was largely non existent.

I mean we played against someone significantly worse than Matt Nichols right guys?

Collaros got outplayed by Fajardo 

And if not for Strev and Harris, Zach is probably o for 4

It says something about our complacency/loyalty when the mediocre/poor punter is the nominee for rookie of the year.

I don’t think the punter was the problem this year. His average of 47.2 is not far off the 47.6 that led the league among full-time punters, and I bet his net yardage ranks even higher. He has a weird technique for sure, but it’s pretty effective. As far as special teams go, I think the biggest issue this year was Castillo’s distance on kickoffs.

“The offense wasn’t great”

Shoulda stopped right there

The team has been so dominant.

In a big way makes it more disappointing to be so poorly prepared for these games and have such poor showings.

The whole "just another game" thing might need to fall by the wayside.

Brown is the Aaron Rodgers behind a Favre of Zach Collaros. We may get a couple more good years out of Zach, or eight of Brown. I think the franchise would be better with the latter (my forum name aside)

Football is a terrible mistress. We were winning on 2nd and 18. Then had a 3rd and 5 to win our 3rd cup in 4 year. 

You could also say if not for Hamilton missing by an inch we would have just lost our 3rd straight championship.

Time to move on. Dru has to be the solution; Zach's getting old .

I'm not saying he was the problem. I'm saying him being our nominee for rookie of the year is indicative of the talent we brought in the rest of the team this year. Even if your punter is outstanding, it looks bad on your crop of rookies if he's the best thing you got for ROY.
