Had one guy stood up in the 4th quarter and just made a single play it would of prevented the outcome.   I remember seeing the live odds at one point it was something insane like +3000 ,  for us to lose that game it required an insane amount of bone headed mistakes.     I never seen a collection of fumble, interception,  whiffed tackles,  blown coverage,  dropped passes in such a small amount of time.    

If even Schoen catches it he takes it the house and it’s 32-9 and game over. Look I like him as much as the next guy but if he’s suppose to be that super star, future NFL player he has to make that catch. Never saw Milt Stegall drop a pass like that EVER and okay he doesn’t have to be Milt but that’s what a true super star receiver looks like.

When you find as many ways to lose as we did, no lead is safe.

Him less than most, especially due to the fact he had soo few good passes to him. A lot of junk QBs he played with. 
 WRs drop passes, dbs get beat, lbers miss tackles, etc the best of them have a short memory and a great hunger for success.

There's a reason it's called the Sophomore Slump.   Schoens in it.  The guy is a game breaker though and like any pro athlete, they just gotta work through it.

He leads the league in receiving and WRs don’t sophomore slump in the cfl. They improve in the second year.

To me this was a 2 part loss, 1 part coaches 2 part complete lack of focus and urgency by this team which has been a problem all year

yup a problem I've seen since last season - we're not hungry anymore.

Schoen leads the league in targets, but Austin Mack in MTL leads in receptions and yards while Rhymes in BC leads in TDs (Woli is #2!). A lot is being asked of Schoen right now and he is quietly delivering. The attention directed his way has opened up Woli and others and if anything the return of Lawler will take focus away from Schoen and open him up as well. This will be the O we've been waiting to see

Part of it is expectations are so high for Schoen. To most casual Bomber fans the occasional dropped ball is a catastrophe when they’re expecting miracle plays.  Not excusing the Ottawa play as he was cursing a storm after dropping that one.  He had them and knew full well he dropped what should have been the kill shot.

Agreed, a few games in the first 1/3 of the season, they looked fat and sassy.

As the O-line goes, so Collaros goes. As Collaros goes, so the receivers go.
