So Mitchell 3 catches for 22 yards, caught all his targets.

Case 2 catches, 10 yards, 1TD, caught 2 of 5 targets.

I'd say Mitchell is at least an upgrade.

Yeah he's a real difference maker. We were only in the game from his massive contributions. I look forward to seeing 4/30 next weekend from him.

Osh defended the decisions on the KRs as " a point or 40 yards" as if Vaval would have just, what, taken a knee? Also said "they did it at the end too!" as if it was even remotely the same.

I could be wrong but are points not more important? Don't they play to WIN the game? Or at least that's what I assumed.

That all leads back to coaching and who chose these guys...and or the inability to coach them up to succeed...or make any in game adjustments 

Walters doesn't cut guys...and play old useless crap

This argument would hold more water if the training camp darlings who were cut went on to great things.

O’Shea wears a couple of Grey Cup losses for sure for playing badly injured guys.

I didn’t see roster or in game decisions today that justify “worst coaching in the league hyperbole.”

lol, this is such a fan site thing to say. Groupthink has made people believe he’s the single biggest problem this franchise has ever faced.

I wrote this because the team has gone away from what worked in the 19 Cup win and we saw it tonight with Calgary's dline. When a qb doesn't have the time to throw chances are the other team will win. Collaros has no time to set his feet .  We can all agree he is not the player he once was however we didn't win the cup in 19 because of him. It was the defense setting the tone. Making plays

Did anyone not see the Eagles demolish Mahomes 

Signing Thomas so early meant our dline was going to be the same and it sucks

At the time we gave up the singles we had the lead and were going against the wind. The points are irrelevant if we don't blow a 17 point lead.  You play field position against the wind with the lead. 

Look i get that those points were the margin of victory but it's not why we lost. Should have never come down to that. Asking a coach to predict his team shatting the bed is asking him to have a defeatist attitude and that permeates thru a locker room. You coach to win believing your team will make the plays that justify your decisions. Instead they drive only to fail on 3rd and inches. Those points were the margin of victory lost.

I was referring to the turnover on downs, in chip shot field goal range. Kicking an FG there is not a defeatist attitude.

You’re not going to win much with a vanilla OC, a C-level receiving corps, a poor secondary and a D-Line that can’t get anywhere near consistent pressure. Welcome back to 2004 my friends.

A view from the cheap seats at McMahon. Actually the cheap seats turned into pretty good ones at the 40 yard line. (lots of empty seats to move to):

A very promising start was followed by a disheartening finish. I didn't see much in the way of adjustments by the Bombers coaching staff. Calgary's staff made enough to win the game. How much rope does Hogan have? 

Officiating left a lot to be desired. The Bombers were a little undisciplined at times (especially special teams) but I thought the stripes were wearing red.

When Demski is the go to guy for long passes, we are in trouble! Mitchell looks smaller than his roster height listing. Even Wheatfall looks like a waif out there. Receivers look tiny and slow. 

DBs looked tiny and slow beside the Stamps receivers. Wait a minute, they were hardly beside the Stamps receivers.

The wind was a factor in the 4th quarter so the Bombers' tall foreheads got that decision right and it almost worked.

There's more to be said but it was very discouraging. 

Third place.....maybe. Is a crossover playoff spot a possibility? I don't think there'll be a home playoff game so there will be revenue missed. Maybe it'll be a wakeup call for Miller and he'll start the ball rolling on making changes.

The sun will come out tomorrow 

you can bet your bottom dollar that… tomorrow 

O’Shea will do…nothing.

The fact the O line is not giving Zach 2 extra seconds is a big part of the problem.   Couple that with the fact the receivers are not getting open spells disaster for the offence. 
 

On the Defence they are playing way too soft. I’d rather take a few more PI calls and punish the receivers the. Giving up so many big plays. 
 

 

not sure what the answer is but something needs to be done before the season is too far gone.

Haven’t had a chance to watch the game yet. 

Are things looking better than after the blow outs against Calgary or is the close score meaningless?

The latter. Caught Calgary sleeping and once they woke up we couldn't compete
