Outplayed, out coached and out skilled. Sigh.

Some things I’ll never forget in life. One of them was a shell shocked Tim Burke being interviewed after whatever preseason game where we were blown out leading to a winless preseason. He shares some pleasantries and basically said we’re good, it’s preseason. I ate it up (knowing it was bullshit) because I wanted it to be better. Well we know how that went… Preseason this year, winless lethargic and nothing to show for it, O’Shea gives me Tim Burke vibes…4 seasons of success tell me to get over my trauma. It’s not like that … is it? Father Time is relentless and I think as a few on this board have been pointing for the last two years we’ve hung on too long to our veteran talent too long. here we are…where’s the Joey Elliot highlights? Sigh.

That loss hurt. Long time listener first time caller on these boards. I spent almost 30 years waiting for bomber grey cup wins. We had two and almost a 3rd. I enjoyed every second of the coverage and posts this week. Cherished it like a fine wine, knowing it could be another 30 before it happened again. I also know that next year our team will be competitive - O’Shea will be motivated and so will the entire staff. As a long suffering bomber fan we’ve spent many other off seasons feeling totally opposite. Remember that ? False hope is a hard thing to carry. Was this a classic Argos win ? yea it was but such is life. we can look forward to a Leaf’s meltdown in a few months. I actually think it’s part of the leafs prophecy - when the Argos fluke a GC win they can’t win for another 10 years.. Can’t win them all but loosing is a lot worse when you’re at the bottom there’s no hope and nothing to be proud of. That’s not the bombers of now it was the bombers of old. Go blue - time to go 1-0 next year. man 3 in a row would have been great but let’s remember where we were and where we are still feels great!
