Zach's injury and no dynasty (I will still call it a mini dynasty like I did last year)
Stop it with the dynasty bs. As bo Levi said I the telecast, Calgary won 2 cups in 5 years and he doesn't consider them a dynasty and back then Calgary clobbered everyone.

Being totally embarrassed and humiliated like that clearly puts the dynasty discussion to bed. And so much for your patience as well!! Bombers were a joke tonight. Total joke

Couldn't have said it better myself.  We are again the laughing stalk of the league.  Whoever thought losing 3grey cups in a row is a dynasty is a laughing stock.  Probably be another 26year doughy till we win another

Any team that makes it to the Grey Cup and loses doesn't deserve to be condemned.  Certainly the Bombers did not play well as a team today but, unlike 7 other teams, they did make it to the big game and deserve credit for that.

Changes are inevitable and the team will make changes to improve the weaker areas.  It doesn't negate, however, the fact they worked and succeeded in making it to the Grey Cup.

It was a disappointing loss and a less than stellar performance.  But they were in Grey Cup.  Only 2 teams in the league can claim that.

Just because they make the grey cup game they shouldn't be praised as this all mighty entity and have statues built for them.  They lost for the 3rd time in a row .  2nd place is just as bad as last in my opinion.  Outside of the participation trophy for winning the west you are still haven't won anything meaningful and are in line with the rest of the league

I just disagree with your assessment.  In fact, any win is important.  But to reach the Grey Cup, especially after their start and dealing with a series of injuries to key players, is impressive and to say they "haven't won anything meaningful and are in line with the rest of the league" is simply ridiculous IMHO.

Bombers were out played and out coached yesterday. We can sugar coat it all we like but the reality is that we knew what the weaknesses were going into TC. Either due to SMS constraints or unwillingness to move on from some players was a management /coaching issue.

Early injuries also were part of the issue but every team had some major injuries this season. We lost to the Argos # 2 QB.

Let the re-build begin. Some fan favourites are going to need to be sent into retirement.

Let's ban the word " patience " from the forum and stick to reality this off season. We need to make some deep changes in free agency.

What a pathetic post. I understand last night's loss stings but this commentary above is beyond infantile.

Imagine going to five straight championship games and thinking this team or organization is a laughing stock.

Talk about unhinged.

But I agree: no dynasty.

The Fresh Prince Of Belair, MB

Jefferson was outstanding
Olivera had a good game with limited touches

Demski got owned by McManis all game
Lucky puts another one on the turf 

Buck Pierce's play calling was horrendous. Ignored the MOP/MOC
Collaros 0 TDs 6 picks in his last 3 Grey Cup games
The loose ball interference penalty. The worst penalty in Grey Cup history since the 13th man. It's literally a turnover. Just let the Toronto player pick it up 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd down SMH

Things I'd like to see next year:

New OC
New QB
New MLB (I'll take Tony Jones)
New KR/PR

Collaros:

"For the record, the veteran passer has now thrown for 621 yards, zero touchdowns, and six interceptions over the last three Grey Cups.  In all of his Grey Cup appearances with Winnipeg, he has thrown just two touchdown passes compared to eight interceptions."

it would be interesting to see the Red zone statistics for those games.

Quote from: dd on November 18, 2024, 02:22:33 AMCollaros. Single handedly cost us this game. Tire of his stage fright in the big game, please move on and bring in someone new next year, I m thinking Vernon Adams. but it won't happen. MOS will stay loyal to his overpaid/underperforming Qb and we'll have to suffer another year

Yes, I agree, it is time to move on from ZC, I would pursue the following QB's in this order:

Alexander from Mtl
Tre Ford from Edm
VAJ from BC

Zach isn't going anywhere, the 2 young guys you listed would be fine if they came in as backups for a year or two.  What they really need is an experienced backup option that can take over in times of trouble or as a much needed change of pace.  Twice the Bombers have gone into the playoff without viable backup experience and twice they've been burned.  Every other position is backed up 3 ways to Sunday, why not the most important position on the team???

Chop $100k from Collaros to help pay for MBT, Arbuckle, Maier, Powell or anyone else that is no longer in favour but still wants to play football. They can retain Wilson for short yardage as he looks to have very good athletic skills, give him a year or two more to see if he can develop into a future starter.
