Yes .. it’s weak. Who cares what goes on outside of your own (the team’s) control. Win the games you should, put yourself in the right position .. handle your own business .. and **** has a way of working out. As much as I hate to say it, we didn’t do that and the Riders did. And what stuff did I bring in? Genuinely curious.

This kind of argument is weak. You can only play the hand you are dealt and whether we like it or not, the Riders played their hand well; they did what they had to do. The Bombers folded early and pissed away a first place finish. We’ve earned our spot at the table but could be in a much better position.

Based on last game, I'd absolutely agree with that. The interior line struggled in a big way and I second the Lucky sentiment. The 'best' receiving corps we've trotted out all year (most successful in my mind) was: Wolitarsky, Bailey, Peterman, Lawler and Adams.

Fixed that for you.

And if McGuire went down .. the emergency QB would probably be someone like Darvin Adams.

Why would he? He's basically had a cup of coffee since being acquired by Winnipeg.

Only in the CFL can a 'game manager' win a Championship Respectfully, Trent Dilfer & Brad Johnson

My friend .. THAT I can agree with.

There are times when he gets a game plan suited to his strengths and he looks like a juggernaut. He’s a guy who can take over a game and make something happen. That’s been born out already. Can you say the same thing about Nichols? I’m not disagreeing that we likely would have a better record with Nichols .. but I’m also not confident he’ll take us further than we’ve been already.

It doesn’t matter who lines up behind center if we insist on driving square pegs into round holes.

The difference between a 9 year vet and a guy who has had a handful of pro starts.

Winston Rose played a helluva game. His “miscues” likely come down to a player feeling like he needed to take the game in his hands. Good decision? That comes down to a matter of inches.

Hey guys. Just preemptively jumping in to ask that we keep things above board .. I’m as pissed as anyone but let’s do our best to keep discussion on the team and away from anything personal. Would greatly appreciate that guys.

Streveler is not playing well but this game plan .. garbage. If nothing else, I’m happy the defence Came to play tonight.

So .. outside of Hamilton .. I'm cheering for a whole slate of eastern teams this weekend. Go Red-argo-uettes!

With the way QBs are going down this season, would anyone part with a rostered quarterback?

I'm on it ... /shakes fist

Helmets get ripped off all the time in the sport of football. **** happens. It's usually a 15 yard penalty. Players lids go flying on the regular. Just to be clear, I'm not disagreeing. I believe Adams should have been tossed but if a referee didn't see it (and you have to take their word or simply accept their incompetence) and there's not enough video evidence to support "Oh ****, he hit him with the helmet?!?" how can you make a call that will very likely dictate the outcome of the game?

I watched the game just like everyone else and while I *believed* he hit Bighill with the helmet and deserved an ejection, I didn't actually see the helmet hitting Biggie. We could infer that he was hit but without clear evidence of that how can they toss a team's starting QB?

@kelownabomberfan and *everyone else* in this thread .. if we can't resort to name calling in this space (however cute you might think it is) then give yourself a timeout, take a break .. or I will be forced to give you one. Just a warning guys .. carry on.

One missed call didn't cost us that game, a complete shitting of the bed did. The entire second half was a gong show. Adams should not have been on the field after swinging the helmet at Bighill. It *may* have changed the outcome of the game (I'm not fortune teller). The one thing I can say for certain is that win or lose, the Bomber collapse was inexcusable.

I mean this in the nicest way possible .. Just shut your mouth and get that **** out of here. Don't *ever* speak that sort of nonsense into existence. Carry on! 😉

If nothing else, we'd have been in the dance with more regularity than we have been since Miller took over. It's easy to second guess the decision to stay or move though, especially when you see how weak that division is. The positives: we were compensated for the move (the club needed this at the time) and we have more 'traditional rivalries' in the West. But how would the draft have played out these last years? We'd have finished higher consistently .. wouldn't have had the same selections, may not have been able to select the talent we did or build the depth we have. I'm fine taking our lumps but dammit, I do want a Grey Cup win.

Simply put, this is what happens when you play not to lose.
