The Lions had a chance to win this game. A great kick off return to start the half was wasted.

VA has been bad but he’s clearly labouring.

This loss and a blown chance to probably win a Grey Cup is solely on Rick Campbell and his
scouting staff. The failure to address the running game cost them as they had no one to lean on when VA struggled and to keep the Bombers D honest. Mizzel is a waste of a jersey
Why did we get rid of Butler again?

How is that not worth a challenge Campbell. Just gave up?
No timeouts.

HC should have challenged that dropped pass WTF....

If Mcinnis hadn't slipped possibly a nudge by the Argentinian hand of God .. BC was going to win

Rhymes has to make that catch. Both of them.

But how is that not PI on the Bombers ?
What the hell is Campbell saving his challenge flag for?

Once again BC finds a way to disappoint their fans in a big game. I’m really getting tired of this

Back yourself into a corner with a one dimensional offence then get completely exposed in the biggest game of the year.

Good for 2nd in the lousy West but nowhere near good enough to knock the Bombers off their pedestal

They are pathetic. It wasn’t even close. Adams was a scared beaten little puppy.

The o line can all go next year. They are all awful.

Use the challenge flag, what is the worst that can happen.

There's no shame in losing that game.

Vernon Adams played his heart out.

BC DEF was fired up that second half and played pretty good.
Not sure what Rhymes was doing on that last play for INT but I thought the earlier play was worth a challenge flag.

Campbell had one season in Ottawa with a very good team where he looked a quality HC. Otherwise, this is who he is.

Adams is not a GC-worthy quarterback.

My hope is Doman is finally the owner that will not accept failure and a lack of execution. There are roster issues to address but better coaches is the first item on the list imo.

Ultimately it is like we all said: Lack of effective offensive and defensive line and lack of effective running back.
