This happens every game every year. Our offense disappears for a quarter to a half. QBs arent pitchers in baseball. They dont get records. Whats Fluties record? Damon allens? Moons? Its a team game. Winning doesnt excuse bad play. We let loffler walk in the off season because he wasnt good enough but what was the teams record in games he started? Irrelevant is what it was. That is a terrible excuse to accept mediocrity. How many grey cups did milt win? Does that change his status? He can be the no1 on a team that makes him the no1. Again win loss isnt a qb stat. its a team stat. He isnt ready to be the no1 qb on a team expected to be in the grey cup right now. He didnt show any progression in pre season. If he had taken a step forward you could argue it, but yeah cant just name streveler no1 and think we can contend.

Jeffcoat was great too.

CTE is no joke take it easy on dunigan hes fragile. 🤣 Its been close a few times for naming dogs of the game. Even though we won, it was such a mess and this team should expect more then just being a good regular season team so here it is. 1 Fenner. Victimized early and often. I swear half the drives happened on second down conversions against fenner. 2 Jefferson. Seemed completely disinterested for a large stretch last night. Slow, giving up on plays while nevis gets in on the back end and makes plays. Un excusable. 3 Nichols. Some awful decisions, really seemed rattled by pressure, and just not a lot of good passes. 2 maybe 3. Plop splits this spot with some awful play calls and slow adjustments.

Fenner was a hot mess tonight.

The medium to short pass he threaded the needle between 3 guys to whitehead. But ever other pass was pretty much adequate at best.

When he tucks the ball he stops looking down field. Lucky broke back across the field and was open over the middle. But nichols wasnt looking down field or in a position to throw. We may have to consider the 6ol set.

Im of the mind that luck is the residue of hard work. (bill bellichick) Refs and luck doesnt normally win games. But to night luck(y) won it for us.

He wasnt hot, he was really hit or miss. A couple really good passes a couple really bad. our whole team got bailed out by huge plays especially from lucky.

The red zone D was un real.

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.
