We had chances to win both those games and we have won 11 games back to back seasons now, maybe 12 this year if we somehow manage a win in Calgary. That tells me they're doing something right. When did i reference the previous 15 games????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) We have the top offence, an outstanding qb, a top Canadian running back, and excellent Yank running back, top level o line, some good receivers, good special teams, Medlock probably back to normal, and a crappy defence. And a lot of wins. If the Bombers had even a middle of the pack defence, they'd probably win the whole thing. The team has problems, but jeeze it's hardly the disaster people are saying it is. I believe the defence will be decent next season, one way or the other. I do get the dissapointment of the last few weeks. It was a complete bummer to lost to BC. "Ok everybody, calm down."

It doesn't matter, this team has had a chance to win nearly every game the last couple years. That tells me they're doing something right. The fact that the D also generates turnovers as well as anyone in the league tells me they do things right as well, and there are many nights that those turnovers are the difference. Yes the D gives up tons of yards... but that's part of what they do. Let teams take the underneath stuff and when they get too impatient they pounce on the turn overs. The issue this year is the explosions that are happening too regularly, but the D is better than most people here are willing to give it credit for.

I never once mentioned the games before the last two so you're just making **** up now to save face. Go bully somebody else.

mfranc Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) The Bombers not hosting the Western Semi-final is either a choke of epic proportions (I've seen some epic chokes) or evidence that they were not as good as the initially appeared. I believe that when healthy the Bombers can play with the big boys but they are lacking the depth of the other western teams (especially at quarterback).

blueingreenland Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Eskies have QB depth. The lions? Lulays can't stay healthy. We don' t really know if Calgary has depth. The Riders have 2 Mediocre guys. Bottom line is this...back ups are back ups for a reason. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question #2: Being a fan of a team of known cheaters, shouldnt you be cowering in shame instead of brazenly asking stupid questions on fan forums of teams that dont cheat?

Do you think the Riders would have any hope of winning games if they had lost 2 of their best defensive players, their best receiver and their best OL like the Bombers have? Picture the Riders without Ed Gainey, Henoc Muamba, Brendon Labatte, and Duron Carter. You really think the Riders would have the depth to compete without those players? You're dreaming.

The point is that the defense has played the same way for the past 2 years. I never ever said you brought up the previous games, I did that to show that despite giving up yards for 2 years the team is still in a position to win much much more often than not so they are clearly not all bad.

In terms of whether it's a player or coach issue, I think both share in that accountability. Hall's defense is predicated on giving up yards and causing turnovers.. not getting beat deep. we have always given up huge tracks of land. IF we control the explosion plays, we still are usually in a good position to win the game despite this. giving up all these yards PLUS the explosion plays.. recipe for failure, for sure. shadybob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok now this is a statement designed to evoke negative responses. It’s pretty obvious that each team owns its own records, both good or bad. Cockiness will not help your case. It’s part of the reason fans don’t consider Saskatchewan with the term Ridernation as much as abomination. shadybob, blue_gold_84 and SPuDS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
