Bombers should have won by 30+ tnite. What a mess of a game.

1 Lucky. His amazing plays to score won the game. 2 Nevis. Mashed up the middle and was even running down plays from behind. 3 Kick cover teams. Lots of guys with hard hits, and great coverage. HH Nelson running down field on kick cover from the back side and laying a big hit. Great game on teams from him. Honorable mention to hecht for some big hits and causing late aligator arms.

To be fair nichols hasnt played like a pro qb today either

Its crap.

It was, and the throw behind to woli was dangerous. Plop has to start rolling nichols out cut the field in half and make the decisions easy. Take away the option to run.

They were really good tosses. The deep ball could have been deeper, but its hard to anticipate and throw for speed like lucky has.

Yeah it is

Nichols threaded the needle short to lucky. But mixed in a couple horrible misses high, and behind his targets.

I love the super dogs.

5 completions in the first half to 20 for harris. insane.

🤣 Just in case I havent pissed off enough of the older generation bomber fans, I kind of see a parallel between Tom clements, trevor harris, and reily / brock. I hope we get after Harris tnite and make him look more like late career kevin glenn tnite.

Nothing says summer more then Bomber football on OB. Just win baby!

He missed 4 games in 3 years here, including not being activated for the first week of his rookie year (the macho harris era). 3 games in 3 years is good for the way he plays football. Now in college he had iirc 2 major injuries and health was a big concern coming out. ACL is always a scary recovery. Hes 27 though and time is on his side. He recovered from the bad college injuries very well so there is reason to be optimistic that he can come back. Ive always thought that the best balance would be a 3 game pre season. Have the first 2 weeks with a high roster cap. Then have a cut down to between 65-70 players and one more game. This is your roster, your PR and the primary guys battling for PR spots. Then have 3 days for the final cut down and roster shuffling, and 5 days of practice with your regular roster and PR before week 1 games. I think a part of pulling this off would involve eliminating mini camp. That would be replaced by improving the quality of FA camps. The CFLPA would obviously want the players to get more money as they would be playing 1 extra game, and in camp for probably 2 weeks longer. But it would easily be worth while imo.

How can that be? Cant be the burgers fault... They slurpped the riders at every chance...

True. Idk how good this guy is. being a rookie, with no camp, and under sized, does not bode well imo. Hes a guy Id take the growing pains with but you will see very quickly if he has what it takes. I would not want to be in that situation. And we are essentially starting 3 un tested OL right now. But those guys had multiple camps, and are adequate or better in size.

League wide hype was strong for poblah. Look at that era in the draft. And see how many big, athletic division 1 wrs with good college stats (2k yards, 15 tds, 150 catches, and some return duties) went after the first round. Thats just revisionist history. Singleton was thought to be good, but not by any means a franchise star NI. There is a reason he was available at a ratio breaker position when the stamps picked. Waggoner was a good back up and very good teams player who decided to retire young going into his prime. Singleton was a phenom anomaly.

Me. Not impressed by their D at all.

Iirc that would be fumbles lost, doesnt include times he fumbled and we kept possession.

Both were guys who offered to make our active roster right away, at a time we were thing on NI talent. With no other means of getting any better NI talent at the point in time we got them, and with hope that our picks the following years would be high not low. Both of those guys would have been first round picks no doubt, they just didnt work out. Way she goes.

We took wolitarsky june 27 of 2017. Eli is a better prospect imo. Hes good certainly, but not plug n play by any means. A guy who develop and take the growing pains with for sure. But missing TC is huge.

Hes a high risk high reward type of player. He is either having a huge game between runs + catch and runs or hes dropping passes. He is a tremendous player who I think will have a break out year this year. A lot of dynamic young players go though the growing pains he is. Not knowing when to go down and when to fight for yards, ball protection, looking down field rather then securing the ball. I love the fit in our offense and the talent he has. I wonder though if we might be better served in some situations (especially with a lead wr like mathews out previously) by starting petermann who is steady and consistent and subbing in demski for package work. Allowing him to be fresher and more focused on key plays. Both guys are starter quality imo, and have sky high potential. Demski will bounce back I have no doubt.

Depth chart looks really good. Love how our offense matches up against their D. Feel like we have a decisive edge over all.

QFT

Roy shivers could atleast find good US rookie talent. Hervey is a fraction of what shivers was. He and Maas really are a match.

Couture was like 278? When we drafted him. You can get away with being smaller at center, it really depends on the build though. Gray at 6'6 308, would be of a similar build just taller. I do suspect teams would want him to bulk up eventually to the 300 range.
