Personally, I can guarantee you I wouldn't have had the 'should have tried a 60 yarder'.

Well no. But we still lose. It's not about 1 play. I didn't like the call to go for the FG. I hated it but... why were we even in that position to begin with. Our D sucked and outside of turnovers and whatever... got shredded for huge yards every game.

Actually I didn't think our D played all that bad, not great, more average but not horrible.

[Goalie]

Our O did enough to WIN. Our D let us down. That's how I see it. Started strong but didn't make the adjustments needed.  Missed tackles. Wide open TDS. Just an ultra soft D.

On the last BC TD series....did Fredrick decide to play 20 yds off the receiver (on two completions)....or was this Hall's idea?

Blown coverage moreso than soft I think.

Wild & Bass were awful today, hopefully a new DC will see that and realize that neither can shed blocks and play the middle.

prevent defence, prevents winning. odd cause they were playing very close to the receivers with success most of the game.

[Goalie]

Over 500 yards for BC ... yeah our D was crap 

[Mark F]

calgary will shred BC

You can't just pin this on D my friend.

Yup, they defended the pass really well up until the last 8 minutes of the game. DC needs to go.

Absolutely ridiculous. 

Should Hall be back??

 NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Also a new MLB please and thanks!

[Stickem]

Certainly Mike O's decision will come under scrutiny....very small chance that we make that field goal,...We had a better chance of making 4 yards....and if we didn't there has to be some serious questions asked..I think we'll re-up our head coach next year....BUT that 25 year drought and counting is really starting to grate on me and it's looking like it could turn into quite a few more....what a downer.

I think you can give them most of the blame tho. They were crap.  Bend but don't break... all season long were shredded but got turnovers to mask the amount of yardage they gave up.

D blew the game but coach blew our last chance to win it.

It is typical of bomber games where we have a lead and need to protect it.... the offence can't move the ball let alone take time off the clock and the defence disappears..... open receivers all over the place and no bomber in site.... really frustrating to watch the game was theirs if they could cover and apply pressure......OC  and DC and HC can wear this one

Bent over D ....all day

Will you be doing one last O & S for the game or season?

How can't you pin it on the D?   Nicholls put up more then enough points and yards.    

Just once the defense had to make a stop in the 2nd half and they couldn't.  BC wasn't pulling out trick plays or making highlight reel catches.  

It was runs up the gut and generic passes that shredded us.  That's embarassing.   

[Mark F]

O'Shea must approve of the kind of defence that they run. It's his team and his responsiblity. It's not just on Hall, if they ran a shitty defence.

Perhaps both....if I see enough gin in the cupboard.

[Mark F]

I really hope Areceneaux is ok, he looked absolutely destroyed after that hit.

Overall, the team made great strides this year, reminds me of the 2006 season and blowing the lead in TO to Mike Bishop. The next year they went to the GC. Maybe they can continue build off this although I suspect the team is going to look different next year due to the cap.

Guys, yes the D was soft and yes the O needed to do more in the second half so Lapo and Hall deserve some criticism, but does anyone here really think the biggest problem wasn't the decision to, with 30 seconds left, kick a 60 yard FG instead of go for it on 3rd and four? I mean, how can anyone that has played this game professionally and been a HC for 3 full years really think his odds are better kicking a 60 yard FG than getting 4 yards? Now I'm certain that there is some kind of logic processing problem with O'Shea and it's not just stubbornness. I can't think of another HC in the league that would have thought a 60 yard FG was a better gamble than picking up 4 yards. No professional HC in the CFL would have made that decision, except ours, and that is so very embarrassing.

Personally I have had enough of the O'Shea show in Winnipeg. I am no longer willing to make an emotional investment in this team just to have an idiot like O'Shea ruin it for me.

Lol....
