K-Shack

I'm gone to the numbers to process my grief. Looking at the play by play, Brady had: 2 touches in Q1, 4 touches in Q2, 3 touches in Q3, and 4 touches and 1 drop in Q4. That's absolute malpractice by Buck. The three most egregious times to me are: 1) When we drove to the 8 yard line in the second quarter and tried two unsuccessful passes and kicked the FG. 2) Wilson's 4 plays when Zach was injured. 3) The series Zach returned. We didn't throw a pass to Brady until Wilson's first play. So he and Zach weren't connecting on check downs either for whatever reason. We didn't have consecutive completions until the 4th quarter. Ugly. My overly simplified post mordem of our offensive offense is: We should have run more. We should have passed better (play calling and execution).

Thanks for the perspective. At the game I didn't realize the injury was so bad. Lousy roster management that the only backup receiver we had on the roster was Lucky.

Wheatfall should have caught it for sure, but I think we were called offside on the play anyways. It would have given us another down though at least. That was a great throw.

In my view, MOS is a culture coach whereas RD is a schemer (and culture in his own way). I'm glad MOS changed the culture of this team, but give me a RD over a MOS on game day anytime. Credit to your team. Enjoy your celebration, @bluto

1. The coaching staff, and in particular the offense and by proxy MOS -- Horrible game plan pre Zach injury and post Zach injury. Horrible decision to stay with Zach post injury instead of trying Wilson or even Dolegala. 14 combined touches for Brady in a game that was close pre glove. Pathetic. 2. Zach -- credit for gutting it out, I suppose, even though that arguably benefited Toronto more than us. But 6 completions in 3 quarters is hideous. It seems like he has little ability to read anything intermediate. Were the receivers just not getting open at all? Or was Zach just unable to see them? 3. Nic / Nichols -- both laid eggs out there. Hm. Lawler -- what happened to him tonight? He got 7 targets but only like 27 yards. Was he cold and not getting open? Or was he just getting missed by Zach? You had one job -- Lucky Whitehead. Just catch the ball and secure it. I guess that's two jobs. Bright spots 1. Willie was a weapon for perhaps the first time all season. Great all round game on D from his run stop on Grant to his clearly awesome sack and pick. 2. Wilsons -- Ontaria and Terry. Leader in receptions (OW). Only meaningful touchdown (TW). And while he didn't throw a completion and almost threw a pick, Terry Wilson looked pretty poised in his first meaningful reps. He climbed the pocket and could sling it. I think we'd have had a better shot staying with him than with ZC.

The Rider fan in front of us just texted in large letters "A few too many Bombers fans around us." May that we overwhelm him with our cheering this evening.

On the season long injury front -- what ever happened to Jamal Parker? I figured he would be in the mix at some point but did he ever leave the 6 game?

Harris never taught him how to MOP

We'll be a crew of 6 Bomber fans aged 7 to 70s sitting in 410.

Do any of you know if we'll be the home team / on the home bench? I'm assuming so since the game is in the West and we have the higher seed and better record, but hoping to see if others know before we buy our tickets.

We'll be there in a group of 7. My family moved from Winnipeg to BC in January so I only made it out to two games this year -- BC Place and the Banjo Bowl. 5 years ago the Vancouver and Winnipeg contingents of the family met in Calgary to watch us break the curse. Here's to hoping the winning streaks continue!

HH #2 The terrible crowd

Unreal. He's not exactly lockdown and he seems to get beat once a game or so but his closing speed and how fast we can flip his hips is incredible. He makes so many more plays than he gives up. I agree with all of yours. My 3, briefly: 1. Zach -- his best playoff game as a Bomber. His turnaround this year seems to be untrained eyes to be related to when he started to run again. He's back to being early career Collaros out of Cincinnati rather than 2021 pocket passing. He's reinvented his game several times now in the CFL. 2. Kenny -- he can go to levels no other receiver can. He can certainly be hot and cold but when he's hot, nobody is hotter. 3. Kramdi / Holm -- both made a handful of incredible plays on D. Block of the game -- MCI with the seal block to open up the end zone for Brady. HH. Terry Wilson with the long run on short yardage I so agree with you here

Kenny Lawler: 18 Riders: 16

I'd say Ford is the exception. I wonder if he's being wasted at field corner. I was wondering about them moving him to boundary when Bonds started struggling.
