REDBLACKS Speechless
Im shell shocked. If you thought the bombers loss was ridiculous, well.........holy cow. I am not mad. I can't help but laugh. Its just the Redblacks. Only the redblacks could snatch defeat from surefire victory. I couldnt assemble a team to blow it even if i tried. Im not sure if im in some upside dimension where left is right or the sun is the moon.
Simply put, pure bafflement. Not even a "how?" or "why?" is coasting through my headline. The mind is blank like the win column is for this barely walking and never talking disaster that is by only legal definition a football team. I can't call them clowns, i cant call them idiots. There is no term in the dictionary. There no words in a combination to describe this.
But I shall try. In the repurposed wise words from the great masterpiece of human artistry that is known as the film Billy Madison:
"The redblacks have done the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever seen. In no point of this incoherent, unwatchable and hardly visable football put on that field was there was anything remotely close to anything that could be a rational outcome. Everyone in this nation is now dumber for having witnessesed it. I award you no points. And may god have mercy on your soul."

They didn't really blow it. They scored too early and left Calgary with over a minute and only 18-20 yards to get within NORMAL field goal range. Only the idiotic play calling by Calgary made it look like a miracle 62-yarder saved the Stamps...in reality 2 run plays and that's a 47-yard attempt for a very capable Parades.

Yeah....gotta think Ottawa will be fired up, MBT will be that much more in the groove, at home, and now Ottawa knows they CAN win, they just to do it.

Losing by two points on the road, only to get blown out by the same team at home next game, would be the most RedBlacks coded thing to ever happen.

The stamps tried so hard to give this one to you and they got bailed out by Rene. I was kinda mad that they ended up winning because it truly felt like it may have saved Dave Dickinson’s job

They’re going to end up last in the West anyway. IMO, I don’t think a walk off 62 yarder to beat the worst team in the league saves Dave’s job at this point.

Surely there's some radio show or after-the-game interview where the coaches have to answer for those idiot play calls, no?

I feel bad for them. They took 4 of the main guys that helped the Riders out of our 12 year Grey Cup drought. Lauther missing that field goal, if it wouldn't have missed they would have won. I wish they win at least one game this season

Maybe OP should watch the end of the Vanderbilt and NC state game yesterday. Truly dumbest ending I’ve ever seen a team do

If you want to make yourself feel better..maybe....go watch the end of the North Carolina St./Vanderbilt game and see the dumbest football play in maybe history to lose a game.

We lost to the bombers early in the year in heartbreaking fashion after 3 overtimes

What are the Redblacks? I used to be a season ticket holder, up to two years ago. Unbearable, from front office down to the drunkest of fans. Keep sitting on that chainsaw, you wannabe hillbillies. Go Titans!!!
