Poor choice by Zach.

Now THAT is some concentration by Bailey to adjust to the tip.

Nice patience by Brady to let the block happen, then explode.

Was wrong before, but I will try again. Think this will be RTP for the tap on the noggin.

When this offence is clicking it is a thing of beauty to behold.

It’s just that easy!

That girl on the Save-on Foods commercial shows the same patience timing her brother as the posters on this thread showed with Collaros in the first minute of this game.

I was focussed on his foot so did not notice the ball control.

Pleasantly surprised and happy to be wrong.

Boy that’s close. Foot looks like it goes up before catch, did it come back down on bounds. Might be one of those “not enough to overturn the call on the field”. I think they give him the catch.

Dalton is just so good at finding separation on those breakdown plays. Double coverage, play breaks down, and he finds the hole to give his QB a chance.

Helmet off play should be blown dead right away.

The Bud Grant era cap they gave away earlier this year was solid. Go with that one.

So just to give some context to the record, Goodlow entered the last game of the year against Calgary in 1981 with 85 receptions. Dieter Brock targeted him all day long to get him to 100 receptions for the year. The 15 catches that day and 100 in a season were both league records at the time.

Good on you, JPan! Was an east sided for 30+ years at Canadinns. Started on the east side when the move to IG Field happened, found the sun a bit glaring higher up in the upper deck. Every year they offered me an upgrade, and I always pushed to get as close to row 1 as possible, and one year asked if by chance they had anything first row on the west side. They did and I grabbed them, pretty much directly across from my old east side (row 2) seats. Fantastic view of the Bomber bench, not as insanely loud as the lower bowl.

Bubba wins. DM me and I will make arrangements to send the tickets.

I have two tickets for tonight’s game I cannot use. Upper deck west side 45 yard line row 1. They are yours for free (plus parking pass if I can transfer it) to the first interested person who can answer the following trivia question: Who holds the Blue Bomber record for most receptions in a single game?

I can agree with the “take a mid-point” approach. But I have yet to see the naysayers offer that up. We have “the biggest fans around” hoping we lose to prove a point, wanting OSH fired, saying it will cost us every week when it hasn’t in 6 seasons, saying OSH is lucky, pathetic, stubborn, smug, head up his ass. Haven’t heard really any “measured criticism” from the loudest critics, and it’s the same wail every game, started before the season even began, and there is no evidence to show it has cost us a win. Could we lose? Sure. Is it “putrid roster management” or because of another possibility, like maybe our QB playing the Grey Cup with a busted foot, or our OC calling a bizarre game plan, or our kicker missing a convert. Or getting lazy and giving up turnovers to squander a 16 point lead with 3 minutes left. Fact is, when we have had an actual serious problem on the roster it has been addressed. When our starting QB went down in 2019 and our back-up could not win consistently, we traded a top draft pick for the soon-to-be 2 time MOP. When our kicking was really bad in 2021 we brought in Castillo and he won us the Cup. When it seemed to be ironed out, we tried to salvage the young Canadian, and he was pretty good, but missed the one big kick at exactly the wrong time. So we replaced him this year. We had the best Canadian running back in history, but we opted to sign the younger guys and did not show excessive loyalty to him. And now he is a back-up in Toronto and his replacement here is leading the league. So changes are being made, just not for the sake of change like some wish would happen. I am content with the “KISS” model. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If it manifests into an actual problem, our track record with this management group is that it will be addressed. But the weekly negativity has been over the top since the get-go IMO, so any push back on the hyperbole is being wrongly labelled as extreme, and knob polishing, and blind to any flaws, and “he is perfect brainwashing” which is not happening actually, and the accusation that we are pretending he is godlike is a BS argument. You want to talk loose hips and other intrinsic factors, go ahead, but I like metrics like wins and losses and knockdowns and tackles and those other measurables. Would be happy to engage in a measured discussion if the critics would stop hurling insults like “you are blind if you can’t see it”, and making false accusations about “but criticism is not allowed” and all the other over the top stuff. But the sky is not falling here, and at times it sure seems to me that it is presented that way by some of the “roster management“ crew.

And you have a problem with that strategy? Would you be happier with “good losses”? Only “smartest man in the room “syndrome I see is the know-it-all fans on a message board convinced they know better than the most successful coach we’ve had here in 60 years. And no, us defenders don’t think O’Shea is flawless, but we also don’t think management needs to sit him down and fire his ass because he’s headed for that inevitable failure. Been hearing that all year, hell for 6 years, and no signs of it yet. Jesus, Dunigan was right, fans are way too spoiled here. Can’t be happy unless there is some imaginary problem to ***** and whine about. Maybe you’d all prefer the 1997-99 version of this team? Enjoy the ride people, stop trying to make it the Titanic approaching the iceberg.

You said “no examples that I’ve seen, so that’s inaccurate”. So you get an example given. But, oh, that doesn’t count, just cherry-picking. Classic Booch schtick. One play that highlights my favorites or exposes a mistake in my scapegoats is confirmation that I’m right, but the flip side is just cherry-picking. Can’t suck and blow at the same time, man.

Evan Holm gargles peanut butter.

“I have have access to something that shows I’m right, but I can’t share”? You sound like Trump’s stolen election crew. What’s so top secret (or why are you so privileged) that you can’t share this definitive evidence that will show we are so wrong and you are so right?

On his bogus roughing penalty he was racing over to cover for BA who had been beaten on a post pattern. That’s one example I can think of.

I do not like this stupid game I do hate picking the wrong name I do despise getting a strike This dumb contest I do not like You gave us all another try My constant failures make me sigh My first loss was enough for me But you prolonged my agony A re-do win would be sublime But I still suck the second time And while I pick another name I fear it will turn out the same All game I’ll sit and hope and pray But no, an “X” will come my way And I’ll be left to scream “Oh damn” I do not like it Sam-I-Am. Let’s try Brady O.
