Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT

[White Out]

Hopefully management puts serious work on the lines. We need better pressure on D and better protection. Build from the lines out.

Have a great offseason. Don't take anything for granted, I wish everyone the best and most importantly, good health. Let's do it again in the spring.

[BaconNBigBlue]

They gave me hope in the third and then crushed my spirit again with their typical play in the fourth.

 

Oh well.  Wasn't expecting a win, but it still stings, especially with that arrogant SOB Alexander opened his mouth.

Can't say I'm surprised at the loss, but still feels very disappointing, especially having the GC in our barn. Having said that if only one change comes of all this ,its that the Smirk wont be back coaching next year. 

I think it’s likely he is back. I think fans prob don’t understand how respected O’Shea is by ppl in the league. I could see a scenario where Kyle is gone and O’Shea stays and the new gm is more than happy with O’Shea. O’Shea is here if he wants to be.  I think it’s pretty obvious it’s time to move on from several vets tho. I’m also not sure Brady is worth 250k. Zach ain’t worth 600k.

We were outmatched today.

Our defense was the strength of this team all season. Not today. Defense got clubbed, stomped on, and thrown around like a rag-doll.

Offense had one great quarter. But maybe 33 points should be enough to win most games.

Montreal was my pick at the start of the season to win the Cup.

Based on your last sentence that’s why we’ve never liked you.

Brady is worth it but how much is our OC being paid?

Brady fumbled the ball at a pretty bad time. 

[Captain Blue]

It was still a heck of a run for 5 Cup appearances and yet another winning season. Used to beg for a 10-8 season some years. 

This team could have folded after an all time failure of a first half. But they didn't. That should count for something, even though the result was still a loss. Coaching staff and players battled back. 

Frustrating year for sure but its more enjoyable to remember the fun parts too.

Unless Thomas gets poached by an NFL team....

At the very end of the game, Alexander pointed to the Als logo on his helmet & then waves bye bye to the Bomber defense. Just classless.

If a big change at the top level doesn’t happen in december at the latest, 2026 is gonna be brutal in bomber land. The chances of that coming to pass, is way higher than I like.

I'd like to see them ask Collaros to take a pay cut (say $150K) for his last year. Use that extra $ to shore up D and O line.

They won't be talking consecutive sellouts next year if no changes at the management/coaching level  are made. Wade sees what we see so let's hope they all aren't 3 BFF's.

So I get it. You like the player so you find the excuse. Brady saves dogs. I wonder if he’s ever dropped one like he does footballs ?? Cuz Brady’s fumble was the tsn turning point. It was either that or Willie and his stupid face masking.

Wonder if hosting the GC will delay any announcements/decisions. I'm sure Wade is going to want attention focused on a successful GC week but I don't know if that can happen with that turd of a season.

Come on.  Maybe it was the 17-0 first quarter?  The fumble was at a bad time, for sure, but come on.

So, Brady rushes for 1100 plus yards & he's in his prime... You want to cut or trade him? Bit of an overreaction, I'd say. If you're going to cut someone then cut Hogan who totally underutilized him this season. The problem is Hogan & not Oliveira.

A great offence can atone for a lousy defence and vice versa, but this year we had neither. Special teams were a bit of a bright spot, but that's all.

True . They were less than mediocre most of the year and bottomed out today

GC is a few weeks away. If they want they  could make some announcements tomorrow really or Monday, this week even.
