Hey folks - what's with all the negative vibes today?
I would say this game unfolded pretty much exactly the way it needed to if the Bombers were going to win. A smothering performance from the D combined with a workmanlike approach from the O. Well okay, BC blew several opportunities (holding on ST's really hurt them) to help our cause.
I for one was not expecting the O to be very productive against the best pass D in the CFL. 250 yards through the air and some MUCH IMPROVED protection for Drew Willy is pretty darn decent Not to mention a beautifully executed hitch on the Denmark TD.
Grigsby had his up and downs but play-action seemed to be effective when they used it. He was a key release valve on a couple of blitzes.
The D kept Harris in check and got pressure on Glenn right from the get-go. Harris / Logan looked decent but never really did any serious damage. To me it looked like Etch was forcing BC to beat them with the pass, and quite frankly they couldn't.
ST was looking good too - nice work on coverage, kicking (!), and punting.
