We played to not lose. We didn't play to win. And thus we lost.

Some posters have said before that we play down to our opponents. That kind of implies it's the players. But it's not, really. It's the coaches and the scheme. They pontificate that easy games are winnable if we just don't screw up. But that's not how football works.

And that is awful, but it can provide a modicum of solace: it hints we probably aren't THIS bad, we just played down to the level we thought would be required.

the ugly - i couldn't stomach the whole interview but MOS has boiled it down to they were tired and tried to hard which put them out of position and mistakes were made.

why were they tired - cause the offense couldn't sustain drives, cause you couldn't tackle...coaching has to be much, much better. 

technically we haven't won at home yet..wade has to be at his boiling point soon despite the great ticket sales - he knows it will plummet.

Good. Biggie honored. He deserves it and it brought back memories of that dominant defense.

Bad. the internet to is too small to adequately express all the disappointment.

Ugly. MOS truly looked shaken. Like he's not sure if the he has answers anymore.
Getting laughed at. A rookie QB mocking us.

The good:
- Rum Hut pregame with friends
- The baddies
- Biggie honoured
- The concession manager who allowed me to get one last Juicii even though they were just closing up at the 4th started. You're a legend, Digvir.
- When it was over and I got to go home
- Fireworks while in the bus line
- We are now on a bye week

The bad:
- Nothing

The Ugly:
- Everything
- Looking in hindsight when we should have been up 14-0 at the beginning of the game and I had hope and was enjoying myself, only to have it stripped away from me by a coach who tried too hard to not lose and players who cannot execute

First game I can recall where I can say the Bombers OC and DC cost them the game.

BC wasn't going to beat you in the air, they were going to beat you with their legs. Have a spy on the QB (a DB). Make Salter stay in the pocket.

It's hard to blame Dru Brown on this game when he went 18/21 with 1 TD. He did well with what plays were called. But we didn't push the ball downfield. This was 100% the play calling. Find holes when they are playing zone. But what was called was short passes.

I did not see the post game interview. MOS was that bad looking eh? Maybe he is suffering from some illness?

I meant on the sidelines in the last minutes of the game, while the fans were leaving and the Lions were laughing it up.

My comments are from a football standpoint, not bashing.

Good
Honoring Bighill
Great attendance

Bad
Run defense
Kicking field goals on a couple of short yardage situations

Ugly
Bryant ( 1st ballot HOF ) has really slowed down
Secondary running around all game, seemed unprepared

I thought Brown was decent last night, completed most of the pass plays called. Offensively, I can live with what we're doing, Defensively, yikes, that is ugly, when a raw green rookie comes in and lights you up running like that, and then Horvath, come on man, we need Jones back in the middle to bring the hammer down on this running garbage. And our secondary still got lit up on a couple of deep throws even though this rookie hardly threw the ball. The defense is where the major problems lie.

The ugly is we're the laughing stock of the league now. MOS is acting like this is just another loss. It's not. It's a demoralizing failure. It makes the whole team and every player a laughing stock. Even Ottawa would have beaten bc in this game. Even Hamilton with no qb.

This was a must win because to lose to salter and Horvath is a massive joke.

Watch Willies post game. He's holding back the tears really early in the interview. We've brought Willie to tears. Then he says some platitudes, more to convince himself, and then you can see in that instant he doesn't believe them himself!

We're on the cusp of the players giving up. They are losing the room. And then it's all over.

Worse than that, they will all leave in FA. Only the losers will stay. And you'll have to pay more to retain, and sucker fas to come. It will be 2013 again.

I'm not sure anyone realizes the critical juncture we've arrived at. If mafia thinks it's business as usual, they're delusional.

Run D was superb while that new RB was in.  When he left and they brought in completely useless nobody Horvath, that's when we suddenly had zero answers.  Like we've never seen Horvath before??  He's been in the league nearly 2 years now.

Being at the game I have no idea whatsoever why they pulled the little new kid.  Guess he was hurt?  Or did they just see we couldn't stop Horvath if our life depended on it.

If SSK was smart they'll just start Stevens against us.  Zero reason to risk Harris.  Just have the same-body-as-Horvath QB run down our throats.

Ya, so I had the new BC RB in fantasy when I could have had Horvath for about the same price... almost 40 fantasy points vs the crap 2 I got.  Stupid lying depth charts again.
