I think it was a deep shot to the endzone just out of the reach of the receiver but for the brief moment he was in while they were reattaching Zach's finger, I just remembering thinking great arm seems to have some poise we may have something here then never saw him again. 

But I and others are told we need to stop talking cuz they know because of the Oline because of their ability to peer into the crystal ball that TW and JD would have done nothing. What we do know as a fact is what happened keeping a QB who couldn't grip the ball properly and this discussion is relevant for 2026 cuz of our Coaching staff's reluctance to use their 2nd qb if the first one is consistently struggling. I think it's worthy discussion in what's the best way we use our dressed qb's for games.

I think the backup QB issue usage has been beaten to death in other threads, and us flapping our gums will have zero effect on O'Shea.

Then I guess we should shut down this whole site because that could be said for the multiple issues brought up here consistently. I think most of realize the intent is not to sway MOS and company (not like we’re talking to them directly) but to escape, vent, cheer, debate and have some fun.

No viable option? Terry Wilson might have been able to save  the game, but we will never no and O'Shea made sure of that. He will do so again, given an opportinity.

Terry Wilson did play and stunk it up.

The lengths some people will go to here to criticize our coach. Dolegala and Wilson are crap QBs. I am glad we let go of Dolegala last year and I am pretty sure Wilson is going to meet the same fate. But yea....they would have come from behind and beaten the Argos defence. SMH.

We can debate till the cows come home whether ZC should have gone back out, what is not debatable is the notion that any other of our rostered QBs would have led us to victory. ZERO CHANCE. The only players that could have won that game for us were on the D and STs. Perhaps BO going beast mode....those were our only chance at victory. Who we played at QB was irrelevant once ZC was injured.

I mean honest to god, I don't know how anyone who watches football could think that JD was remotely capable of winning that game for us? Some people see what they wanna see so that they can complain I guess?

If O’Shea is listening to a fan site or anybody on it he should be fired yesterday. He’s not tho cuz who the **** would. As if anyone even thinks they listen and oh hey that dude online who always complains said this, oh really well then. Like honestly. Are you delusional dude.

You need to go watch the 4th Q again. Wilson didn't play like garbage. 2 of his 4 passes were flat out dropped. 1 was called PI. The bombers were very much in that game when he came in and the coaching staff (buck) decided to put it all on his arm instead of give the ball to Brady...even one time.... Acting like there can be no debate is ridiculous. The game got out of hand BECAUSE OF COLLAROS. Now there's something that can not be debated because it actually happened that way.

Mike Oshea is a better coach and has forgotten more about football than any of us on this forum. I can't believe the huberus some people have here to think they are smarter than a coach who is going to go down as one of the greatest Bomber coaches ever. We sit and bang our gums, but not a single of us knows the whole picture and are privy to all the info. What we consider a terrible decision sometimes is actually the right move because the coach actually has all the info that we will never be privy too.

It seems remarkably stupid to me that we sit around and pretend we know the inner workings of the club better than our HC.

Wilson completed zero passes. ZERO. Don't care why. Doesn't matter. Didn't complete a ball. Every QB who plays like **** can point to a receiver dropping a ball or how close the pass was to being complete. Zero completions is zero completions. He couldn't get it done and it is wholly unrealistic for anyone to believe he could have, or JD for that matter. The Argo defence was eating our QBs for breakfast.

Good gracious and good grief, I love how you go to great lengths to wrap your perspectives as facts.

And if BB coaches/management shared this perspective of yours going into the big game where everything is on the line and nothing legal can be off the table to ensure we win cuz there is no tomorrow, someone should lose their job.

Jeff Reinbold knew more about football than any of us. So did Tim Burke. Then there's Jim Daley... better known as The White Zombie. Bob Dyce as well. Craig Dickenson, too. You never mentioned them. They all knew more than us... maybe.

Fact of matter...if you have a healthy option available...and they on your roster...obviously for a reason...right? Then not playing them over a guy who can't physically do it...or guys based on history here...and they are major factors in why you lost...repeatedly...then there is a serious issue with the man calling the shots...and its all on the....aka...HC

And if the guys behind the hurt starters are not good enough...coached up enough...trusted enough...then wtf are they here??!!?!? 

Again...all on the guy we call the HC

And if the same ol same ol buffoonery occurs yet again...then he becomes HC Guy for 2026

This apparent search for OC is encouraging I will admit...but we so looked at guys last yr too...and then just promoted OC Guy...so who's to say its just optics to make it seem they changing things up...the fact no announcements that he is not being asked back yet...is a bit concerning...
