OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread - Footnote it is. Another long off-season ahead.

[snowkiddin]

have we won a grey cup since buck took over the offence? trying to go deep instead of using brady early was awful, and defense we should have forced arbuckle to beat us deep and take everything short away from him...

The playcallers called plays mistakenly believing that Connor Bedard was the prize for losing this game. Either that or the Argos have some double agents. Could go either way.

 

[Bender Duster]

Unreal. The guy has been having a rough passing game. We have the best running back in the game. And the QB now has a gimp finger in a glove he’s not used to wearing.

Yeah…let’s call a passing play!!

X2

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

lol

 

[Blitzkrug]

And just before I turn it off another near pick 6..

Jesus.

 

[None]

 

[FonRiesen]

Hahaha. Please pull Collaros. May as well just take knees now.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Fire Buck Pierce into the f***ing sun.

 

[gojetsgo]

besides whiteheads fumble the play that pissed me off the most was demski slowing down on that 1st down pass causing an overthrow right after they scored

 

[surixon]

Why the heck did they leave Collaros in when it was clear he couldn't throw with his hand any longer....

 

[LadyJet26]

Typical Bombers. See you all next season

 

[None]

At least they're overachieving in their disappointment now rather than just disappointing

5 Grey cup appearances in a row is nothing to sneeze at. It hurts a lot when your expectations are high though.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Zach is going to get heat, but I want him to deflect to Arbuckle.

Imagine if Collaros had as much time as Arbuckle had all night. The attention is going to be on the turnovers, but somewhere in the 3rd quarter TO had 10more minutes in terms of possession.

Allowed to march down the field. It’s an asinine strategy that the Bombers continue to stick to.

Easiest game of Arbuckles life.

 

[sipowicz]

3 time chokers, impressive!

 

[snowkiddin]

Outscored 24-3 in the fourth against a backup QB? Heads have to roll. Pierce is the easiest to get rid of since we have no succession plan at QB.

What a lousy ending to what is realistically the Bombers window.


Yup, off I go to dragon quest 3 lmao

I’m playing some Sega Genesis lol. Enjoy Dragon Quest!

our receivers were awful tonight as well

 

[Blitzkrug]

I have watched every Grey Cup since I was probably about 6 years old. That is legit the worst QB performance I have ever seen.

 

[WPGChief]

Don't think Arbuckle has been great but he's been good enough, especially with some luck going his way to convert some of those 2nd-and-long's - however I'm worried with the confidence it might open up the playbook for Dinwiddie for some of those explosive plays that is the Argos bread-and-butter.

Bombers offence got past their first drive jitters for two strong drives that ended in a TD and FG, but they need to control the ball for way longer and just methodically tear apart the defence, not always launch for the deep balls. Need to tire TOR out, but they've only had the ball for 13 minutes with two long drives, the rest have been pretty quick - that gives them a good advantage for the second half if the likes of Ceresna, McManis, and Franklin are still "fresh" to make plays.

Collaros' execution wasn't there (again) but he has gotten literally no help from his playcalling, at all. Argos defence looked beatable and then Pierce just... never did any of the things that led to those. Just an embarrassing display. Couldn't even finish watching the game, it was that bad.

I don't know if it was more embarrassing watching Jefferson have his best game in what feels like forever, only to watch the refs allow holding on the interior by the Argos and Younger/Hall defence not put any additional pressure at all. I would be mad if I wasn't so disgusted.

It's shameful.

I don’t trust Walters at this point. There is zero accountability to that coaching staff. Zero.

3 GC losses in a row. I’ve seen the same bullshit zero pressure strategy constantly. Richie Hall is a f***ing leech.

 

[jetsforever]

Turnovers and Zach's injury were the difference here
Also is something up with Brady? He's not running at all

He's caught the ball a couple times. He's looked just fine whenever involved. If he was playing injured, we still have Augustine. ZERO excuse.

Yup. This is Kerry Collins in Super Bowl XXXV level of ineptitude in the biggest game of the year.

 

[snowkiddin]

so keeping with the Grey Cup theme without discussing that shitass game, what’s the best thing in Munchies mix? I’m a pretzels guy myself, but sun chips also go hard

 

[WolfHouse]

Because wilson doesnt need an excuse to miss his targets?

 

[Hobble]

Attended my first Grey Cup, and the best Bombers I saw were on the chest of the streaker.
