Marcus Crandell is tied with Mitchell for Grey Cup wins despite all Bo's dominance.

after the fumble return the D held TO to 3 points. That's it. Even getting no points on a FG attempt and I still like our chances.

People not blaming coaching, with all respect I think you're nuts.

This is not a one time thing remember last year? Refusal to run the ball probably cost us a Grey Cup. This year damn near certain, not calling a running play or two then a FG attempt was beyond stupid.

It was the fumble that cost the game IMO. Not the call.

The Argos were throwing the ball after they were in FG range when the game was tied.

Don't ask me what the other ones are....

Well, not giving 110% must be another one...

Pretty much this. Same thing Maas did last week. There's gotta be psychological studies out there on why otherwise successful people make the risky, low-odds choice at crucial times. Is it overconfindence? Of does risk-assessment get scrambled in high-stakes moments?

2years of the same BS. Unbelievable!

Marquay McDaniel was not very understanding of Jorden's mistake "What are you doing... in traffic, put 2 hands on the ball, go down. At worse you get a field goal" The loss stings for #Stamps #GreyCup

Brutal loss. Bo trying for the hero pass in double coverage. Go with Messam FFS.

And then Dave decided to go for the marbles, again. And failed. Like he did 1 year ago. We could have at least got to OT in this game remember that? It is amazing to me that you still think coaching was not the problem.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Yikes. Now Parades.

That's dynasty worthy talent in that room. But if the atmosphere is toxic changes might be necessary due to all of the heartbreak and choke jobs. Otherwise they'll be beat before they take the field next year and they'll be fragile out there.

No doubt there are some Eskimos fans who feel Maas made the right call last week. Fandom is strange.

What did Paredes say?

[zamler]

No guarantee of anything but give Messam the ball very little chance he decides to one hand it like an idiot.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Looks like even the players have had enough Of DDs offensive calling.

If Bo makes a better throw at the end, or more importantly Jorden secures the ball the way a football player should, we are drinking champagne right now.

That is how I look at it. Those execution failures were significantly greater than the calls that led to them.

I guess we just disagree. It's also hard to think clearly when your team suffers a loss like that. I feel awful for Stamps fans, players and coaches. It really sucks.

[Johnny Makarov]

Holy. Just watched it on PVR. FU Dickenson. I want you fired. I knew your play calling would cost us a cup and it did!!! Why was that even an option for Bo with only 10 seconds left.

There is no way Jordan can return to this team. McDaniel is a loser and Parker was one of the worst receivers to ever put on the Stamps uni.
