If this is our best ball then the same thing will happen in the playoffs that occurred the past 2 seasons. 

I actually agree, we don't have a quick strike offense, we have to grind out everything. It's going to be tough keeping that going every game.

Some people are so committed to their biases they can't see what really happened. Lapo called a pretty good game, the D started rough but got a lot better and Ottawa made plays at the end to get to OT

And here it is...the play of the game.

Just watched the game. Someone explain the Ellingson catch please, because to me that was a trap. I feel like the D stopped them twice with the game on the line, only for the refs to take it away

Our D has to be stellar for us to win in the playoffs. That is my entire point.

Lol. They trailed once and had a 15 point lead with 3 minutes left. Bombers aren't the lucky ones tonight... They were the better team overall. Its funny ppl want the Ottawa DC here so bad.. Thats a good D and great O in Ottawa but we were better tonight. 

Bombers blew a 15 point lead with 4:34 left. In the end it came down to an OT fumble by Sinopoli with Redblacks on the doorstep with all the momentum. I call that lucky. They almost lost a game they should have put away.

Disagree all you like, but in the middle of the game the D did a real good job.

I agree - in the middle of the game the D did a real good job - but there is more than a middle - there is a beginning and an end. And the Bomber Defense is not very good at ends. Thankfully Bighill forced the fumble and it was game over. However and can not even begin to emphasize this - the game should have never gotten to OT. Richie Hall's defense as usual sagged and almost self destructed in the 4th quarter - which has happen way to many times during his tenure IMHO.

Lol. Almost gave away? They didnt tho. I swear some of just look for every reason to crap on them. How many of you expected a W tonight tho? None?

2 sacks rushing 3 only and stopping Powell helped directly to having the Bombers lead most of the game kicking fg's

The redblacks had no answers for the bombers O all game. They scored in OT we still had a chance to beat them in mini game 2. The Bombers O was really good this game.

Lots of that is poor tackling tho. Thats not on the DC. Some of it is also... Ottawa is a good team.

Ritchie Hall didn't call for a db to fall down. He didn't call for the refs to give generous spots. **** off with this nonsense. There's two teams out there, was a back and forth game and the Bombers won as they deserved to.

Bombers 456 total offense, Ottawa 455 total offense.

Those are big numbers but with the lopsided possession time it really shows the difference in the two offenses. Ottawa can strike quick, we can't, we still have trouble pushing the ball downfield for some reason.

Our OC is a fool at times. Goes away from Whats working.. Harris was and they went away from him in the 3rd.

I'd rather our O tonight.  Ottawa relied a lot on favourable officiating to extend several drives and get some points on the board.  For instance a clear Harris lateral that was called a forward pass.  FG there.  Ellingson's "catch" on the last drive of the 4th.  Sinopoli's spot in OT and the JFG TD drive which gave OTT a full yard they didn't attain and allowed a 3rd down sneak which would have been a longer gamble, and Fogg's "stumble" aided by a pretty significant shot by JFG.

We rarely get those calls.  Time of possession is huge, and our O could have put up a couple more TD's to salt this one away early.

I have to talk stupid when im replying to it. 

No, you talked **** with me saying I'm never happy with a win. Been a fan of this team since 1965.I have reservations about how we won & why but don't mistake that with not being happy we won which is an unfair thing to say.

What do people think "soft" coverage is?  This is Canadian football.  You can't jam receivers who get a 15 yard running start.

I don’t know what people think soft coverage is.

Out of curiosity... Where is the eye in the sky on spots. Cuz ref legit gave Ottawa an extra yard and a half there. Wheres the eye in the sky to catch that. 

HE literally marked the ball backwards and then took a yard step forward and remarked the ball, MOS even reenacted the spot to the head ref who had no idea what was going on

Not sure if its that one or the Ellingson catch... Where the ball obviously hit the ground.. Ball even moved when it did. Ellingson trapped it. But the refs along with TSN were def Redblacks fans tonight
