Blue Bombers 2022 Season Thread - Stunning Loss. Dynasty Interrupted. 2023 awaits.

[Guardian17]

Well, that sucked.

 

[Potential]

A lot of credit to the Argos defensive line. They got after him all game, and Hardrick in particular had a rough outing.

There are a lot of men long in the tooth on this team, and its unfortunate they let this one get away. Close to making history. Legg's time needs to be done in Winnipeg - that was just... Did anyone even have a cell of confidence he would make that kick if it wasn't blocked? Its a crucial position, and it cost them.

That kick was no good anyway. If you watch the replay it was wide left, as Leggs had to reposition due to a bad snap and the laces being in the wrong place.

We had plenty of opportunities to make more plays, but our o-line was dominated today, and that was our downfall.

I feel so bad for the guys, as yeah, such opportunities don't come up very often.

 

[rkp]

I can accept that our injured players were not at their best for obvious reasons, and I've calmed down enough to accept that.

But Leggio has proven over the last several years he is not CFL calibre. He makes too many dumb mistakes that cost us game, such as today.

He needs to go. Full stop.

how many passes did collaros complete tonight!!!?????????????????????????????

 

[Holden Caulfield]

No comments from me. I'll say things I'll regret. f***ing Argos can go straight to hell. f*** them and their 12 fans. BS. I'm done for the night, I'll talk to you all in the morning.

 

[snowkiddin]

No one other than Grant and Oliviera played well. Wonder if they cut Liegghio loose now. Wasn’t entirely his fault but hard to have confidence in him now.

Agreed. We weren't at our best today and TO played well. But having the worst kicker in the CFL (okay I don't know that for sure, but he is pretty shitty) is an unnecessary impediment to our chances to regain the cup.

 

[rkp]

Yeah that was pretty disappointing but it is what it is. They had their chances but just were not very good on either side of the ball. Full marks to the Argos, they played very well.

did the argos win or did the bombers lose this one!?

The defense was good. Kelly coming in the game was the turning point though.

 

[tbcwpg]

did the argos win or did the bombers lose this one!?

Both. Argos had a great game plan and the Bombers shot themselves in the foot anyway.

 

[AussieBomberJet]

He's had several years to improve and he's failed to do so, at the teams expense.

I'm all for letting him go. Or better yet, trade him to the Riders!

 

[Truenorthducky]

Why are we making excuses for a POS kicker, that has been carried by the team.

How many converts has he missed? That's a disgusting performance.

I don’t like to blame anyone but it’s Leggio has had these tendencies hence why we went out and got castillo last year. I was thinking the whole day about how our kicking is going to be the end of our run.

 

[blues10]

As soon as he missed that extra point I said it’s gonna come back to haunt us

Yup, everyone at the event I was at said the same thing thing.

 

[Potential]

I used to get upset in the Westwood days when he would have a miss at the end of the game and lose, however as I've gotten older I've realized that putting your kicker in such a position at such a critical point in the game means that you didn't get it done on offence otherwise.

Kicks can be crapshoots, and good teams don't rely on them.

We didn't do enough to win. Full stop.

 

[Larabee]

Collaros sucked. Leggio sucked and buck peirce sucked.

 

[AlphaLackey]

did the argos win or did the bombers lose this one!?

The bombers were the statistical favorite with one minute left in the game. All it took was a 70%-ish kick to accommodate for the fact that the kicker missed an 85%-ish kick earlier.

I know they win and lose as a team, and I get that, and I won't disrespect the team's culture. And I know every player had a moment where one millimeter more of glove or one more step could have done it. But the fact remains, when we didn't resign Castillo, kicking went back to being our weakest position, and it sure looks like it cost us.

Having said that, I will brook absolutely NO abuse of the man for a bad game. He's still a goddamn human being, and by virtue of being part of the Bomber culture, he's almost certainly a goddamn decent one. A professional athlete can always be substantively criticized for their performance on the field, but to attack him as a human being is some 400% bullshit that I will not tolerate.

 

[Snoop]

Lots of blame to go around. Collaros off, questionable play calling with Prukop, Leggio with crappy kicks AND punts…

The real winner here is Troy Westwood as finally a Bomber kicker has had an overall worse grey cup game!

 

[Truenorthducky]

Collaros sucked. Leggio sucked and buck peirce sucked.

But the game came down to one point even though our quarterback wasn’t completely on his game. I put this game on the kicker ultimately.

 

[None]

That int by Collaros was also identical to the one Muamba dropped earlier in the game. Collaros just wasn't reading anything past 10 yards well.

 

[KingBogo]

I don’t like to blame anyone but it’s Leggio has had these tendencies hence why we went out and got castillo last year. I was thinking the whole day about how our kicking is going to be the end of our run.

And your thinking turned out right. I tried to ignore the glaring weakness, with our ongoing success. It turns out we would probably have snuck out another cup even with a subpar performance with a better kicker.

that is such a pathetic and shameful excuse!! shear desparation on your part..lol......how many passes did collaros complete!!??

 

[bustamente]

Yes Legghio will wear the goat horns tonight but many other should be wearing them too plus a few coaches

 

[tbcwpg]

He was 14/23 for 183 yards and one interception. Please stop asking people.

Stop being so sanctimonious. You are beginning to sound like a close friend/relative of Liegghio.

 

[None]

Probably never should have even come down to putting it on his foot. Putting it in Prukop's hands while up by 9 was a huge blunder. Hopefully the coaches are asked who made that call.

not good enuff !!!!!! is it!!????
