this place is a ghost town after the loss. 

Great post as per usual. This team showed a ton of heart in the come back attempt. this is a great chance to get a bunch of coaching done, and to keep the team from becoming over confident. (or to fix it) Idr the last regular season loss that was soo much a heart breaker. We played a half of football and nearly beat the best team in the league, then them streak now. We will be hungry and prepared next time.

Now we know what needs to be done in the Western Final to win.  And we will see you again Calgary.  Bank on it.

Best post of the day - the problems we saw today can be fixed - this is a win against any other team

Today convinced me that we are indeed an elite team, and that's with a loss. The D and special teams let us down, but they've carried us all year. One complete game in the final and this will all be a distant memory. Way to go blue, a tough heartbreaker but one with a whole lot of character.

Calgary probably thinking they only had to play the first half and :14 of the fourth quarter to beat us.

We lost and it was tough but I'm proud to be Bombers fan again cause this team has a ton of heart ...watch out for us in the playoffs. This team is no pushover for anybody...

Proud of the way the Bombers battled back & took the lead but the loss for me was extremely hard to take so I decided to stay off here until I had long settled down to think clearly about what happened... Man, that one hurts...

Sadly couldn't watch the game today as I had to work. Tough loss but there is no doubt now that Winnipeg is for real. They are not middle of the pack, playing above their talent, or whatever else. A loss is a loss but today I think all of Canada learned that the Bombers are the second best team in this league and should not be taken lightly. I will enjoy watching BLM eat crow when they lose the Western final.

I still remember your comments from yesterday. It's safe to say that Calgary did make some adjustments for Winnipeg. They came out mostly throwing in the first half - Messam was not a major factor. It was clear they had prepared for certain tendencies in the Bombers' secondary.

Reading Doug Brown's column today and believe he hit it bang on. We often criticized Willy's stats because most came in garbage time. Well I guess one could draw the same conclusion in this game; game out of hand take the foot off the peddle only to put it back on when the game was on the line. However with that said they did play much better overall in the second half. This team cannot get behind that much on any of the teams left to play and certainly not in the playoffs should they get there. Special teams were bad; think Adams may have played himself off the starting roster for next game as did Johnson. What happened to the rookies that picked up this defense when the "starters" got hurt; they covered man to man much better than the current group. In any event as has been said the issues are fixable; the coaches need to have this team better prepared to play; the players have to be better prepared to play and they have to realize that playing 40 or 50 mins a game will not get it done in this league on most nights.
