It'd be like in hockey where they mess up a whistle on a line call and they do a face off. Refs ****** it up badly on 2 cases on the play, first the no catch and then the whistle, from an official on the other side of the field no less. The fair thing would have been a replay of the down. Is it in the rules? I don't really care that's what should have happened and the refs should apologize. Instead we got that travesty and the shortly after another missed call that the Bombers likely would have challenged if not for this one.

Because it was a forward pass... collaros was what 7, 8 10 yards behind the LOS when he threw it. What should have happened is they should have replayed the down. The whistle went incorrectly, you can't say he would have been stopped there because there was no defender in the time zone. Total incompetence on the reffing and I am ok with challenging that despite losing yards as a way of embarrassing the refs who blew that one so spectacularly

Before this game I was saying to some people start Wilson in bighills spot and Cole in Wilson's... would be a lot better

Pokey Wilson ... goes from a guy who has no idea how to catch the ball to that... impressive. Liked that collaros was at least trying to get the ball out quicker ... Adam Bighill looked like a complete ******* that game... like awful. How can the coaches watch that and keep trotting him out? Alexander too was brutal. Thomas while being brutal at least made a couple plays when they came to him. He was useless huff8ng and puffing after the play too though. Woods had himself a game, our secondary sans safety is good though...

Bailey grant and Hansen aren't the difference makers. The problems aren't who they didn't keep, the problems are who they kept and who is injured and how people are used.

This is really all it comes down to. He needs to be willing to make those prick decisions and say "this position isn't getting it done, next man up"

I have no idea at all why they feel it's ok to field such a pitiful defensive line... used to be a huge strength when this team was winning championships and now it's a total liability

To be fair Smith has looked dangerous at returner too. Not as explosive as Grant was but he's gonna bust some sooner or later. He's been close a few times.

This is criminal. GIven Bighills age and obviously declining play and Wilsons injury history to not have anyone pushing those guys HARD is just negligence. Even last year at least they had Clements.

So most of this is young player growing pains because they didn't do any succession planning last season or if they did the guys got hurt.

Thomas is not needed from a ratio perspective, if they had any inclination to move on from him it would be the absolute easiest decision in the world... instead he gets trotted out for every single series.

Absolutely nothing supports this idea

Something something faj

Yeah some definition of what a pressure is would help because I know I don't always agree with the criteria DT uses in his stats.

Doesn't it come into play during 3 way ties as well? I might be crazy

What's sadder? The fact that we are starting 11 Canadians or that demski wolitarsky a d clercius are no brainer choices since they're better than the Americans behind them...

Experimenting with boutique players just to give them a chance... now is not the time. Dl depth has been an issue for multiple years now. They should have guys on thenroster already that we know can play. I don't care where they come from but they shouldn't be dicking around seeing what they can do at this point.

oh for **** sakes really? So he's a linebacker... can't have DL depth but can have a million linebackers who don't play

Hey pot... this is kettle...

Dragging this alllllllllll the way back after that unfortunate detour... The thing about Demski is that his value is in a jack of all trades master of none kind of way. Super versatile and can be a weapon in a lot of different ways but he's not the guy you build everything around. He's a complimentary piece. Will you find another guy like Demski? Not likely but you can find comparable producers pretty readily. Oliveira I think is a very complete back... only thing really missing is the home run ability but he does everything else so well. Could you find an American to do the job? Yeah I'd bloody well hope so but as a Canadian and local product I don't feel his salary handicaps the team. The biggest salary handicaps are the not good enough backups earning big money for years of service or the old washed up starters.

This is a smoking hot wrong take... we start so many Canadians because they build the roster poorly and the PR even worse full stop.

Honestly I think that BC game last year broke him. He went from living life pretty cleanly in the pocket in winnipeg and suddenly he has a game where he got his ass kicked.... and I think now he's worried about the hits coming.

How many can we win with collaros getting smoked in the pocket?

Like seriously I watched the calgary game again... Johnson ****** him over 3 separate times on passes. 2 he over ran the zone, if he had say down easy completions and another the ball hit him in the face. But shitty passing and reading a D right? Our rookie receivers are not getting the job done.

What is he missing? We've seen him pass in all sorts of situations, We've seen him make reads... yeah he hasn't had much time but seriously we're trashing him for his passing stats last week? You seen the way the OL and receivers are playing right now? Collaros looks much worse in the same situation, or can collaros not pass either?
