I think I'll need help with this one, so much to remember.
The Good:
- Just win, baby
- The comeback
- Dinwiddie's sad face
- Dru Brown revenge game working out for him
- Ottawa DBs can't catch
- Sergio 6/6
The bad:
- Not being able to convert TDs inside the red zone (over and over and over)
- Dru Brown tossing at least 3-4 interceptable balls and many more into coverage
- Brady being ignored and pretty ineffective when called on
- Stanley Bryant is getting run over...
- Gabe Wallace is whiffing pretty consistently...
- Teams being able to nickel and dime us to death
- Gross penalties called against us (specifically the 25 yard roughing and the combined 20 yarder pulling us out of the redzone)
- We needed to kick 6 FGs... (score a TD)
The Ugly:
- The new OT rules, I thought they were dumb
- Jake Maier throwing for 344 yards against us...like, c'mon.

Really? You'd prefer this game ends in a tie??
I really liked this actually!
Good-linebackers flying around
-Vaval always reliable although didn't get much work tonight
-No quit in this team
-second half defense
-Dru Brown over 300 yds passing for second game in a row
Bad-Nield nearly costing us the game twice
-TSN broadcast getting numerous things wrong {Suitor}
-Just lucky there wasn't more INT's
-not using Brady enough
Ugly-Bad penalties
-slow starts again
The Good:
- The win
- Castillo (minus the kickoff)
- Dru Brown continues to look good all things considered
- Willie Jefferson and the defensive line continue to play better than last year
- Kyrie Wilson had his best game of the year
- Ottawa is so bad we only needed to play a quarter of the game and OT.
The bad:
- 420 offensive yards given up to a horrible offense
- Oliveira not being able to run against the league's worst run defense
- Defenses collapse at the end of the first half and the very inconsistent coverage. Moxey still doesn't understand what's going on half the time which is on JY at this point.
- JY's terrible play calling and the most amateur blitz looks imaginable
- Roughing the punter
The Ugly:
- Stanley Bryant - worst game as a Blue Bomber by far. What a way to go out - it's going to get ugly from here.
- Short yardage fail, but really the last two games it's been rough.
- Brady Olivera's just getting too slow. He looks like a fullback all of a sudden. Is he hurt? He can literally only run up the middle. Not sustainable or good. Give Chris-Ike a few series and see if he can open things up with a more traditional running attack.
- Tommy Neild's OT drop and illegal block are cover photos for a terrible wide receiver performance across the board. Three Canadians is not looking so good. They couldn't get much worse as a group.
Good
Bomber's are unbeaten on the road.Toronto at home was a road game.
Nice comeback.
Special Teams.
Goal line stand.
Sergio
Bad
Winless at home.
Defense against the pass.
Unnecessary Penalties.
Lots of close interceptions.
Ugly
Lots of Ottawa wide open receivers.

I don't think the options need to be that or a tie. Just keep the mini-games going.
What's so terrible about ties?

Its like kissing your sister which is not exciting unless you are from Saskatchewan!
Just one add:
Kramdi - good. very, very good.

Nothing wrong with ties, it tells the truth about the contest, Wpg. didn't really deserve to win and Ottawa didn't really deserve to lose, why distort reality for fiction? The extra point generated by a tie can play a determining role in the overall season standings and playoff picture and it's also a permanent reminder that a team did not play well enough to win the game.
Bad...... low energy for the first half. This is not new
No run game. Way above my level to explain this.
Big Stan.
Me, first half, I was pretty down on the team.
Good.... D goal line stand, DRU rallying, pass protection wasn't horrible, special teams, reliable no. 23,
Secondary got it together, pass rush was good.
Yeah Kramdi was a whirlwind. Plays everywhere.
Nice to see Kyrie make a big play.
Bombers are lowest no. Of penalties in the league.

When the mini-game format was introduced in 2000, OT could continue for up to 4 rounds. TV networks complained about the length of the new OT and the CFL reduced the format to 2 rounds for regular season.
Also from 2000, CFL introduced the loser point for losing in OT. Winnipeg made the playoffs in 2000 because of a loser point. The league soon saw the error in its ways and eliminated that rule. Sometimes the voice of reason prevails.

IMO, there are ways to adapt the mini-games without getting rid of them completely.
tim white has been solid - real solid
kramdi since moving back to the lb's has helped the defence a lot
slow start is maddening and reflects on MOS inability to motivate his team.
The Good
The comeback and fight to win, nice to see we didn't fold up when down alot
Griffin was particularly strong all game/making plays/stopping the run
The Bad
Secondary coverage is horribly soft/easy to complete passes against
Both Stanley and Broxton getting beat by pass rush, several times, Stan has lost a couple of steps for sure
Ugly
Tommy Nield - first the brutal penalty that cost us a TD, and then the drop in the end zone of another TD, that's 14 points that cost us, can't afford to do that
bomber kick and punt coverage is great. that tackle by Ayers with a minute left was top notch.
mike miller knows that stuff better than maybe anyone on the globe

Mike surely to be nominated for ST coach of the year for the 3rd straight season.
Ontaria Wilson was targeted 15 times in the game which equates to 8 incomplete passes.
Ottawa was credited with 6 pass knockdowns on those 8 incomplete passes. One was the result of a hit on Dru Brown, one was at the line of scrimmage and the other 4 were by Shakur Brown in coverage. One of Shakur Brown's PKDs was on an overthrow which does not meet the current CFL standard for assigning a PKD.
I view targets as a valid detail which indicates who a QB favours. I also believe that equating a catch percentage is a poor choice as is doesn't take into account whether a pass was catchable.

Wilson has been absolutely peppered in Dru's two starts.
Pokey is doing something right... he's moved up to max fantasy value recently. I think others have figured out he's Dru's favorite.
Still maybe not worth it -- he seems likely to get you a solid 20 for $15k, but with little chance of getting 30-40 like Rankin & Philpot The Greater can.

Imagine if he starts catching more than 50% of the targets tho...
