Exactly, we talked about this all season as a potential to bite us in the ass and unfortunately it did at the worst possible time.

Great leadership there Biggie.

We carried an IMP FB all year, we could make it work with a backup IMP RB instead

Agree if the throw was a jump ball, Lawler would win it. No chance to leap backward through the DB to high point that ball. Also agree that play should be a TD 9 times out of 10. Just not with that throw.

Are we talking about the same play? I was talking the INT in the endzone. He couldn't even get back to the ball because the throw was short of where it needed to be.

What the hell happened on that 3rd down? How did some nobody just run right past the D. It wasn't even a great throw, Parker may have got to it if he wasn't scrambling to catch up.

It was easier to be a loser for sure. Even if they had been blown out last night it would have been easier. The ups and downs are tough man.

Nothing wrong with the read to Lawler, he just didn't get the ball out there far enough. If he puts it where it should go, the DB can't make that play. The route isn't designed for Lawler to be stopped and waiting for the ball.

Can't put that on Lawler. If Zach had thrown it out to the corner, the DB couldn't have made a play on it.

Holm has ball in the air skills

Thanks! Since we had kids the Bombers have been great. I’m used to watching with them all over me. Seems to be the more they distract me the better the Blue do. Little good luck charms!

My wife is 8 months pregnant and we have two kids under 5. I’ll get my own beers and have a couple kids crawling on me for the game haha That has been the biggest plus with Kramdi on D. Lots of flexibility on the rotation on D

To me it doesn't matter who the back up is for me to worry. I've seen enough 2nd/3rd stringers come in an shock the bombers.

I have that nagging worry too. Bombers would have won the cup last year if they hadn't knocked MBT out of the game.

Just came to post this too. I remember a lot of us (myself included) questioning whether he had it during the first 6 games last season and then the switch went on for him. Just phenomenal how he's changed since then.

If the Bombers play exactly as they did against BC they should win. No turnovers, safe offense. Limit special teams big plays against. Realistically the Als need some turnovers or big plays on teams to win. If they don't get that and it's all on Cody, shouldn't have a hope in hell.

Foot on the ball isn't a penalty. Thought they could have called PI on all the other contact but Lawler doesn't seem to get those calls because he makes such great plays on the ball. Also looked like he was getting kicked in the face prior to the ball getting there.

The rush lane discipline across the board was something else.

Hmmm the answer is yes. Luck may have worn off. I may need to find something new to wear.

I've got tons of jerseys but they are all cursed I fear. Since 2019 I've been wearing an old acrylic sweater from the late 80s/early 90s that seems to be good luck (last year's cup notwithstanding)

If Schoen is able to go that would be absolutely huge. He diced the Als for a few TDs this year already.

Was curious so I looked it up. Neither team has lost since the same weekend in mid-September. Bombers just have had more bye weeks than the Als in that time. Let the Als talk all they want about the hot streak they are on

Als were all over the Eastern trophy. They are toast next week https://www.instagram.com/p/CzhpKtLrhXR/

Exactly. If the Bombers don’t turn it over or allow huge returns, hard to see the Als winning. Just don’t force it.

Whistle had gone for sure. Gave himself up to just run the clock out. Looked like Walker could have blown up Vaj too and Holm would have walked in.
