He should. They went freewheel spending this offseason to make a home GC run. I doubt caretaker Bob will like them not even making the playoffs.

Only if they get a better owner. It's been a crapshoot over there. Condell is getting paid until the end of the year. No reason to go to another tire fire and risk his reputation even further.

Several variations of the story. At the end of the day, it seems as though WJ bought a game for 15 bucks instead of 25 in exchange for an autographed poster. Not sure why the mom is so passed about this ALLEGED transaction What a dumb take..smh. You are criticizing my refusal to entertain fake news by suggesting I listen to fake news...and you are criticizing my critical thinking? Smh

I was pretty excited and so were a lot of other Bomber fans. I think it was your fan base calling it a desperation move. Bomber fans fully realized we were a hit away from McGuire leading us into the playoffs and most of us were clamoring for a vet backup to be brought in. If the Collaros trade thread were brought up right now you would see most Bomber fans were quite alright with the trade. Over at Riderfans you guys were cackling with glee that we picked up the QB you guys were blaming for the Riders not being able to hoist the Grey Cup. The 2nd biggest highlight of 2019 was that we won the cup with the QB the Riders were too stupid to keep. Long live the JOD era!

Not sure what's going on there..but recruitment has not been great

Nick was awesome.

Sure..but you do that and you are stopping the clock and giving them time. If not for a big run..Ottawa runs out of time. Do we give them 3 extra plays or hope our guys can make one more. Not an easy choice. Back 2 back MOPs too Meh...qb yardage is a red herring stat

It was a pretty ticky tack call. When a penalty like that is called I think it's garbage. Had no effect whatsoever on the play and is pretty subjective imo. Lean your head and you see it differently? Don't call it. Just a flag happy official imo.

They weren't gassed until late 4th when we allowed Ottawa to dominate TOP and were running a tempo offence. Up until that point we dominated TOP and were not gassed. Tempo gasses defences no matter what your depth is because you CAN'T make substitutions. How pray tell would depth have helped when we couldn't get them on the field?

Yea..I have no doubt Kelly tweaked something, sure didn't seem very serious tho.

I have to wonder if Kelly pulled himself out of the game after being below average the entire first half? Just a conspiracy theory for now..but something to watch for considering his known attitude problems in the past.

That's true. If that's our biggest gripe this season we will be because we are doing everything else pretty good. Yea..our killer instinct seemed to fade in that one.

That's true. So many reasons a team loses any game. To pin it on one thing, fairly minor roster management miscues, is not really a fair assessment. At the end of the day we left points off the board, gave some away, and didn't close the game like a winner should. I thought it was Maruo..but same difference. Also Cole did play a lot of snaps that game and took a very stupid and costly penalty that extended an Ottawa drive in the 4th.

OK...so you would have dressed an extra MIKE? Or an extra WIL? Our DL were grasping at air because we were blitzing that entire time and not respecting his legs. Who would you have dressed that eliminates Biggie being gassed, Briggs being not a great WIL, or the secondary playing soft? I am certainly not going to argue that our DL wasn't gassed and substitutions there may have helped, but there was far more wrong with our D than that in our final 3, right from playcalling on down.

I'm not sure about that. Our secondary, where we had a ton of depth, started playing soft. Our Lbers where depth shouldn't be an issue, were whiffing. Not sure what DL depth would have done against bad D play calling. Fair enough

Gotta be honest I've watched 4 Toronto games this year and in all of them Kelly was average.

For sure. Miller has been so integral over the past few years that we were bound to see the difference without him. On long QB runs I wonder where the Lbers were not the DL. I think Hall putting 6 guys on the DL cost us on those runs.

I agree with your synopsis. I don't agree that our roster construction, in and of itself, will ever cost us a game. I do agree that it can make winning harder. I would like to see MOS change it up. Not gonna get fired up about it though.

Maybe they fine him 50 bucks or something.

All true Noeller, but our lack of execution earlier in the game is what cost us the victory. Our defence being gassed was only a factor after we had already **** the bed. Roster management has been an issue all year. I certainly agree that it is worthy of criticism. I just don't agree that it is something that is so egregious that it will cost us games, nor do I believe it cost us the Ottawa game. We made mistake after mistake, pick 6...dropped TD..poor play calling...to suggest that it came down to roster management.

Dude...you wanna meet me in Grand Rapids (halfway) and say that to my face? Lmao..jk You are right pickerel. However, I've been fishing with Americans quite a bit this year helping the lodge out, as they are short on guides. Got used to saying walleye I guess.

Last July, we played them on a short week. Similar circumstances...Nathan Rourke ripping up the league and many suggesting BC had surpassed us. Moral of the story BC fans? We beat you from pillar to post...43-22. Short week is no excuse if you are truly the better team. We creamed your team last year on the short week because we were the better team. If the Lions were the better team this year, they would have found a way to at the very least be competitive yesterday.

Bombers give notice to the league. Check. Walleye biting like crazy..33 so far today. Check. Just need the Riders to lose, preferably in heartbreaking fashion, and my August long checklist is rounded out.

BC playing a lot fifty cent in the dressing room after the game. Not sure why?

I agree with that. I'm in full agreement. Just don't think it will cost us games.
