I dont think this organization is capable of turning a loss into a moral victory. 

Unlike plenty of others, in the past.    Got pretty tired of the smoke and excusemiestering.....

Yeah. Thats a big part of a good team that loses close games and a bad team that loses close games. That and how they bounce back after a close loss.

Now on to 'Do you expect them to be THAT bad every game?' How's that not moving the goalposts? 

Your head is so far up the Bombers butts that you might as well check for polyps while your there.

The final score flattered us and everyone knows it. We didn't keep the score close. They owned us (450 yards of offence, 40 minutes TOP, 25% of our passing came on 1 play) and I'm sure everyone including the players and coaches knows that too. Eventually we lost by 7, but we were down by 14 with just over 2 minutes to go and they didn't bother to kick an easy FG at the end to be up by 10.

You and others want to shine the turd and focus on it being a 7 point loss instead of calling a spade a spade (or F'ing shovel if you prefer). When we were a crappy team, hope was all we had to cling to, so we had to look for any silver lining, ignore the reality and find the 3 or 4 plays that went our way. We're not that team any more. We're a contender. Time to put down the blue kool-aid and to see things as they are, not how you wish they were.

 

And despite all of that the score says the Bombers hung around. This isn't trying to turn a loss into a moral victory, this is saying that cleaning up some very correctable things and the team will be fine. Lots of errant passes and drops that are out of character for players on this team. 

So again, it's a loss but it's not the end of the world. Most of the problems they had in that game are ones that are easily correctable. 

Or do you think there guys are really as bad as they played?

Sigh... Yes, I think the guys were really as bad as they played last week. This week? That remains to be seen. Next week? Who knows? Let's get past this week first.
