I didn’t think so particularly. Decent, not great in the run game, poor in pass pro. I wasn’t impressed with either of the guards, or Lofton at RT, but at least he made that one chip on Stubblefield.

Agree with all of this. Michell needs to go imo. In 2 preseason and 1 real game we’ve seen 2 pass drops, a fumble, and fiddle ******* around trying to catch the ball. Apple and a road map.

I know he’s going to have better games than that, just overall I don’t see him improving season to season anymore, and I don’t think that’s the last performance like that we’ll see this year. I’m going to try very hard not to beat this point into the ground but It’s very hard to get over the fact that they let one of the only QBs they’ve developed in my lifetime go to keep a 35 year old regressing player who hamstrings the cap. They’re going to have to let Streveler throw the ball and play full games if they want any shot at keeping this thing going.

How much you wanna bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

I just don’t see how Zach is going to improve. With his age, the trajectory is very concerning. Sorry but he’s not Calvillo or Ray. I hope I’m wrong but we’ve seen this with a ton of good-great QBs in the league over the years.

You could feel his voice joyfully beaming through the TV when the Argos won as well.

Yeah, seems like they need to run 20-30 times a game or Zach turns into Uncle Rico.

I’ve said this before but I don’t recall seeing a network blatantly disfavour any sports team during a good run as much as TSN does the Bombers, especially since Cuthbert left. I’ll never forget the sadness in Rod Smith’s voice at the end of the 2021 cup. When Calgary was on top, they were all over them with awe and hyperbole, same with Montreal before that, and BC in the early-mod 2000s. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it.

Augustine is a better returner than anything Mitchell showed. I hope Smith hung around though, they need an actual returner.

I think the D will get better, and they were good enough to win the game with any kind of offence. If they focus on running the ball until Zack possibly gets it together( debatable if that will even happen) they can still win games.

I’d rather listen to that than another call from “Gail”

I feel like they’ll turn it around this season, at least somewhat but I’m pretty sure they’ll get porked again in Ottawa too. The first 3-4 games are gonna be ugly imo. I’m afraid for next year is what I am. This all hinges on Strev, or someone else long-term now.

No, you weren’t due, you’ve had enough. We’re still relatively wayyyy behind in the **** sandwich/steak dinner scale as Bomber fans.

Oh sorry, I had seasons in 2013 and 2015 so point remains lol

And I’ll give him due credit for that. No one likes admitting they didn’t do a good job.

Doug Brown is the only media guy in town who doesn’t fluff away questions or give easy outs. I wish he hosted the coaches show.

Osh “I misjudged our readiness”

1. Collaros. They messed up and it could cost us the whole run. Should have kept the guy they developed. That’s why you develop them ffs. 2. Mitchell- In the vein of the great Kelvin McKnight, earned a job by doing absolutely nothing. 3. Osh- Team was 100% unprepared. Worst season opener of his coaching career by far. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve seen at least 5 games off the top of my head that were much worse. The 2009 banjo bowl for one.

My bad. Thinking of the GC still. I stand corrected for sure. Brady was fine. Well, I mean..he did.

I gotta say. I’m not sure how (correctly) pointing out that 4 GC appearances could and should have been 4 wins if not for blatantly stupid coaching decisions is “nothing but shitting on the team” Booch and Mike (and to an extent myself and others) were right. Don’t want to be, but it is what it is.

If (EDIT *when*) Dru Brown outplays Collaros next week…Christ man

BuT ZaCk hAs a BiG cOnTrAct, and they won cups 5 years ago so they have to keep him forever.

It’s not because they lost one game. It’s the pattern, and the fact that this all happened in slow motion and was soooo correctable

Doug Brown might. I doubt we’d get any kind of answer though.

Rod Smith thought his boner from the Grey cup might go down tonight, but no such luck.
