This game didn't matter. And honestly look at the stats. Bombers dominated except first two drives where Bombers still feeling out a rookie. Offense uncharacteristically struggled in the red zone. Untimely turnovers. Meh.
Collaros doesn't concern me with that pick. Stiggers rolled the dice on that one abandoning his man to bet he knew the play. That fails more often than not.
@snowkiddin called it. The most important development we need to understand about tonight is the Demerio Houston injury.

It wasn't really a tight game. Argos 2nd QB didn't throw a pass past 10 yards. They tried their 3rd and it was worse

Happy thoughts
Imagine if Bowness was the Bombers' coach, watching them decide when to play and when to coast. Bowness would be benching players and roasting them in the media for no "push back".
Seemed like a pretty close game to me. We were down going into the 4th. Anyways going to your 3rd stringer in a game that was up for grabs came off as bush league. Sometimes the CFL likes to shoot itself in the foot.

I do not blame the Argos one bit for what they did. The goal is to win a Grey Cup and Dinwiddie did what he had to do to maximize the Argos' chances of that happening. I would have questioned his judgment had he gone all in on what to them was a nothing game against a tough opponent. For what, to make the away fans happy? I don't think that factors into the decision making at all.
If I have any concern about last night's game it's that the Bombers couldn't lock it down until the 4th quarter.
Based on what we saw, I'm not sure we would have liked the result had the Argos played all their starters...
People keep saying that, but I'm not sure I agree. If the Bombers played flat like they did last night, then sure. The Bombers are inconsistent — but they seem to get up for big games. With this game essentially being meaningless and next week's game being huge, I don't know, I think that contributed towards it. Plus, Toronto resting guys probably messed with the Bombers a bit and caused them to write off Toronto a bit. I bet they come out playing stronger if the Argos bring more starters.
We'll see how they play next week.

The game was meaningless for Toronto who treated it like a preseason game. But it was most definitely not meaningless for the Bombers who are in a dogfight for first place in the west.
I mean, they got the result which I suppose is all that matters. But that was not exactly a confidence booster IMO.
It was essentially meaningless. Even if we lost this game, next week is all that matters. We won the game, doesn't matter. Next week is all that matters.

Teams do it in the NFL all the time too when they have it looked up. It’s why they have to wrap up Fantasy football one week before the end of the regular season.

Can't agree with it being essentially meaningless. We lose and we are one game back of BC. based on them beating Saskatchewan. Then we win next week and presto we are in first and have the season series against BC. What if we lose one of our last 2 games against the have nots in Calgary and Edmonton since this season we seem the shit the bed against the weaker teams and Edmonton st least has looked much better than the start of the season. And BC beats both Hamilton and Calgary. Hello 2nd place for us. It would only have been truly "meaningless" had we already clinched 1st place.
I take your point but even if the Bombers lost this game they still control their own destiny and that didn’t change yesterday win or lose and therefore the result yesterday didn’t mean anything.
I like that Argos are taking their foot off the gas 6 weeks before their next meaningful game. Best way I can think off to undermine their season.

People were saying it was meaningless for Toronto, which it was. Also, the Bombers control their own destiny. If they win next week, they have the tie breaker.

It was only close on the scoreboard. The time of possession was ridiciously in favour of the Bombers.
That game wasn't meaningless for the Bombers. Being in control of their destiny by definition means they need to win to continue to control their own destiny. You start losing games and suddenly you lost control.
On top of that this team really needs to pull their shit together. It seems like they are emotionless on the field. Why does it take a slap in the face from a team like the Riders or Lions to get them to play the way they are capable in the next game? When the playoffs come there is no second game to get them back. Why were they so slow to come out of the gate against a depleted, QBless team like the Argos? Or losing to crap teams like the Cats or Red Black's. Why are they making the Stamps look competitive?
Obviously even with the ups and downs this team is real good. But the goal for this team is pretty much Grey Cup or bust. I'm not feeling overconfident at the moment no matter who they play in the playoffs at home nevermind on the road. It's time for them to pull their shit together and be the team they are supposed to be. They can't be waiting around thinking it's OK to let another week slide by because oh well there's always next week. It's the time of the year when it's time to be executing on a high level and making it a habbit.

Olivera ran roughshod over the Argos. But, like Bombers D in the past, they tightened up in the red zone and get turnovers.
I won’t be concerned until they come out flat next week. If that happens, I’ll be joining you guys up on the ledge. Right now I think it’s much ado about nothing.

Sounds like Grant is go to go, he has been so missed. Houston probably out, maybe Lawrence draws in
Grant is back! That should really help our special teams.
Also notable the Bombers released Agudosi and Daramy-Swaray.
With Daramy-Swaray released and Houston just on the one-game, I’m hopefully Demerio will be back sooner rather than later.
