Watch this entire video and tell me he can’t throw the ball.

Sometimes, that’s inarguable sure. Others he had the time and just stared down one receiver or happy footed around. He’s never been the QB to run the quick game like an AC, or dink and dunk you to death like a Ricky Ray. He lives or dies with the deep shot and schoolyard stuff, for better or worse and that style lends itself least to an average or worse OL.

Unfortunately I think the book on Zach is he has the physical tools to excel behind the best OL in the country, but anything less and (I really hate to say it) it’s just not there mentally. We’ve seen him like that on 3 different teams now, it’s kind of a pattern.

If they actually let him play Quarterback, I think Streveler can get the job done. We’ve seen him play the intermediate and deep game in the past and do it well. If they pair that with a more creative running attack, I believe he can succeed. Seriously go watch his first 2 starts with the Bombers, before they gave him a gimmick. He can make the throws.

One can only hope

Nah, Hockey’s a rich peoplemens sport. Spoiled rich kids who mommy and daddy pay the minor clubs to get in, by the time they hit the pros they’d rather be golfers. Anyways, yeah hate to say it, those Als are a really good team

My earliest football memory is the 1992 Grey Cup. I wore that f’n Bomber Blitz 1990 tape out for my whole childhood and adolescence waiting for another one. Reinbold. The 2001 GC. Unfinished Business. 2002 West final. Nate Davis pantomiming pissing on the W. ******* Wayne McGarrity. The broken arm. Hungover Charlie. OH CANADA! HE’S BACK!!! Freezing my ass off at the 08 ESF. 09 Banjo Bowl. The Blue-Out Boat Game. Odell dropping that pick 6. Tim “We could get blasted” Burke. I’m with you @Noeller I don’t want to go back.

Hockey after the beginning of April is ridiculous.

I would say I started to see the cracks in Sept/22. Stayed in denial for about another year. The Crumback was the game where my eyes really opened to “they could be really screwed here if they let the whole team age out at once” The Calgary game on the road, again with Brown starting and a bunch of young guys on D flying around and making plays, only to all sit for the playoffs and GC when they really needed some youth/intensity and freshness. That’s where I fully saw the mistakes that were being made. My only hope left (and it’s a slim one) is that they figure it out and reload for next year, giving us more of a 1989 deal than a 2004 one.

Very unhappily agree. Our O and ST have been head and shoulders below everybody else’s.

F both these teams and coaches, but even Edmonton looks better than us right now

Yeah Flat brims make most ppl look like Toad from Mario and snap backs are for children and seniors. Give me a flex fit low pro with a curved brim.

Hockey in the summertime is ridiculous

Biggies past it for sure, but tbh I didn’t think he had a bad game. I’d rather him in the middle than Kyrie, if it’s gotta be one or the other.

100% I’m gonna go the rest of my life pissed about them not getting 4 straight and it sucks. I don’t wanna say it, but part of 21 hurts too in that there’s always gonna be that asterisk for the Covid year. As it all ages, the 2019 playoff run was the really special one for me, the one I’ll tell my grandchildren about. The one I’ll talk about the way my Dad talks about 1984.

Nothing that I know of. Tre Thomas was my TC favourite, as I posted a million times. Upshaw is probably more needed right now. Love to see either/or back. Probably wishful thinking.

Didn’t hear one way or another how bad Fox injury was, or even see what happened. If he’s out long term, a 30 front of Willie/Woods/Adams wouldn’t be bad in itself but they’d still have to bring someone in.

If it weren’t for my kid, me too. I’ve gotten better but my weekends (and more) went as the Bombers did for much longer than I’d care to admit. Even then, dammed if 22 and 23 didn’t hurt just as much as 2001 and 2007 did. Quite honestly lot of the mean stuff I say about the team in-game is just residual heartbreak from us getting robbed of the true dynasty I’d been waiting and hoping my entire life for.

Yeah, JY uses a lot of 30 front. I actually like a lot of the looks on D, even if it’s by necessity due to injuries/personnel When they’ve blitzed it’s (so far) been less telegraphed than under Hall. Granted the lack of Offence, rookies gelling, injuries, I have no major beef with the defensive performance overall. Room for improvement but the amount of points they’ve given up is more than good enough to win games with even borderline competent O and ST.

I hope they can get Garbutt off the 6 game early because frankly he’s starting to turn into a bit of a white buffalo. Lotta guys made the club from the tub this year. If he’s staying the full 6, you’re right they need an airlift already. Silver lining, I’m pretty sure Hubert already offers more than Anthony Bennett did.

The massive stadium makes it look even worse. I went to a game in 09 there with over 30k and it looked empty, this is like the western big O now.

The home game against Edmonton on a Monday night after 9/11 was one of the best I’ve seen in my lifetime. Iirc it wasn’t even televised. It does feel that way, with a little 95/96 mixed in. I have a vivid memory of going to the ‘95 home opener and my Dad telling me “Look, I don’t want you to get upset but the Bombers aren’t going to be very good this year, and the games are going to be very different”

With everything else going on with the team, please don’t make us think about 2001. Thinking about Fleming driving Khari into the turf still hurts all these years later

I enjoy your posts, but this simply isn’t true. Speaking for myself, I’d love it if the team went on a huge heater and everyone mocked me for being overly critical. For real, I genuinely want to be wrong about this.

My Dad and Aunties too. The Bomber diehards run deep.
