Without 4 dropped TD passes we lose the home game against them. 

Would that be the first game where we dropped multiple potential interceptions? Works both ways.

who knows who care...from what I heard he had other offers...also shepley only played in 2019 with sask...and hasnt touched a cfl field since...but last yr, and this yr if he wanted to come back he was free game....so who knows how it works....either way...if Rourke comes back next year it wont be for 65k....he'd be an idiot to do so

Seems you are correct about Kongbo being a FA on his return. However, it is because the Bombers had a handshake agreement to release him after his first season to look at NFL opportunities. Only way he would sign I guess.

IIRC, we had multiple dropped passes of our own, on offense, but those get conveniently forgotten when they don't forget the narrative. That **** always gets evened out during a game.

At the end of the day, dropped passes/dropped pics etc etc. They were 1 play away from winning. To me, that doesn't scream the Bombers beat the crap out of them. That was my point. The game for all the missed opportunities etc was very close right down to the last second.

I just find that kind of argument to be such a straw man argument. If the other team had played better and made more plays when they had the chance they would have won. That is literally the difference between winning and losing in every football game ever played.

Nah.... we let them hang around.

Wasn't that play to tie? They were down 7.  I agree the Bombers didn't beat them down but they handled them effectively all 3 games.

In one game they kind of played us close. I will admit that much. Same could be said about Ottawa at the beginning of the season.

Unfortunately that's just not how any competitive sport works.

I am not even sure how to respond to that. Some games far superior teams let inferior teams hang around all the time. Teams put and take their foot on/off the gas pedal all the time.  It is quite literally how most upsets happen.

Oh yes, you are correct. Would have needed to convert to win/tie.

"Let them". No competitve team LET's someone hang around. Letting someone do something implies you had a choice. CGY played well enough to be in the game. The Bombers didn't LET them score etc etc.

[BomberBall]

So, any chatter about the game on Friday?  Because I could give 2 shits about Rourke’s contract status and who let who hang around the last time we beat the Stamps.

Cant we all just agree that we are the greatest football team ever assembled and only the good lord himself can derail this juggernaut on its way to a thirty seven-peat??

So more had to happen in favour of Calgary to give them a shot at winning. They still got more breaks that game than we did and lost. Go blue!

Wow, really the Leafs lost to Arizona... Best go and check out Cap Friendly, Armchair GM forum,,,, the wise Leaf Fan base will probably have half the team traded away by now (of course over rated/over priced LEAF player talent)...  🤣

[Booch]

glad they giving demski the extra rest...so he totally 100 percent for the wf...and almost certain his "injury" is nothing....he came back from a 5 game stint and ripped it up...he will be ready

Feed BOLO

So he will start... but Vaj will still play more... so then basically it is just a PR scam eh.

You don’t think Brown will play more than Collaros?

I know there is a max amount on rookie contracts for drafted players, but it was my understanding that was only in place for the first 2 years.

 

Once his rookie contract is over, the Lions can pay Rourke whatever they want.
