Matthews is terrible. He doesn't take risks, he barely throws downfield. He's got one of the lowest yards per completion rates in the history of CFL quarterbacking. He stinks.

This regime has brought in big physical DB's every season and cut them in favour of 5'9-5'10 180 lb guys. They seem to want that 6'2 210 guy but won't commit.

Apparently, and this isn't a joke, their kick returner Jones is the backup DB, listed as a backup slot on the roster.

He didn’t have to be very accurate on Friday. He just had to get the ball out at the end of his drop, put some air under it and let his receivers work to it. There was no need to think and that just makes it easy. Need a combination of pressure and tight passing windows, and not knowing what they’ll be facing in a given coverage/pressure. That’s a recipe to beat any QB in this league.

There’s a point here?

To be honest I think it’s an underestimation of Masoli. Would have been better off forcing him to make throws than read blitz and move the ball quickly. They were prepared for that.

Lapo won’t be a head coach in this league again, aside from maybe an interim job finishing out a season.

The Gary Lawless style of interviewing.

It’s week 4. The Grey Cup is a long way off. Our starting QB hasn’t played a snap. There’s no need to jump in a noose after every loss.

Don't forget the 1 non-import on our D has evolved into a huge liability. In terms of personnel, aside from scheme, that's the first change I'd make, and the result of that change would also be JSK being a DI and not a starter. I'd move our NI starter on D to WIL, whether that's Loffler or a combination of guys taking that spot. Loffler at safety is a handicap right now.

So they buzzed down on the horse collar and invented a late unnecessary roughness to create the same result. Man is CFL officiating a mess.

Horse collar needs to be booth reviewed everytime. If it’s garbage they need to buzz down.

I still regret letting Bond walk. Man that's a downgrade. I bet if they knew how the draft would have turned out they would have never signed Bowman.

Edmonton's offense has looked awful aside from the 4th Q against us.

No the Chungh hold is a hold. You can't stop moving your feet and hip toss the DL.

Rushing 6 and 7 into a max protect of 7 down after down is just beyond pointless. DB's can't cover the whole field, you're either giving away deep throws or short throws. That's why LB's are part of coverage too. Hopefully the open spots on the field are the furthest from the QB so he has to be accurate and have time to get the ball there. If it's a short throw, hopefully the window is small so the QB has to be accurate. So pointless to blitz if you can't get there, and you make it predictable so they are literally scheming for it. Just useless. Masoli was literally throwing into 30 yards of field and the receiver would just run under it, catch the ball and then turn up for the next 5-6 yards for the first. There's no deception in this defense and that makes it incredibly easy to beat.

Give Loffler a shot to play closer to the ball at WIL and if he struggles there then you have a role player. He's shown no ability in the last 2 seasons to cover downfield in cover 0 (burned to a crisp so far this season here) and cover enough ground to be a factor other than making tackles 25 yards downfield in cover 1 and cover 2.

Ya someone has to talk about Loffler. 6 tackles in 3 games for a safety. Just a total non-factor and not because his coverage is top notch. He's not playing well and hasn't been for a very long time.

The only phase that didn't stink tonight was special teams. Everyone's on the D, and they weren't great, but the TOP disadvantage is a 2 way street. That's a long stretch of a game, over a quarter, where the Bombers did not gain a single first down. That's nearly 3 consecutive quarters of play after the first two drives in the 1st where the Bombers didn't throw a pass longer than 8 yards.

Most aggressive D we ever had was 2016, literally set a record for turnovers. Not sure what the hell happened.

It was pretty brutal PI. Unamba literally just wrapped him up. Unless you mean the one early in the drive that was a touch behind him that he didn't even make an attempt on. Feel like the refs wanted to get back into AC on that last Bomber drive, two brutal PI's uncalled 1st and 2nd down plus the whole clock issue on Bowman's "offside" when the ref didn't whistle play in and 7 seconds ran off. We were going to lose anyway but this is a professional game.

How could you ever rank Coke Zero above any other soda? Zero is right in the name!

Bombers dodged a bullet there. Would have been stuck with his salary.

Edmonton’s LB’s aren’t good.

This is a big game for the D as well. Hamilton runs max protect almost 60% of passing downs, no use blitzing against that, I hope Hall calls a lot of 3 man pressure with spy and we force Masoli to make throws.
