I wonder about our offense purely from a collaros standpoint.

So I was ok last year running it back because that was a choice and a 1 point loss in the cup fine give it a go. This year needed to be different though because it didn't work last year not going to work any better this year. Honestly would probably be best to get smacked around all of June. Might snap them out of it. But I can't ever hope for losses so go kick ass whoever wears the jersey.

Could be, but if we use bighill as an example... he seems to know what to do and where to be but winds up getting there a day late and a dollar short. Jefferson can be a disruptive impact player... but can't do it every snap of every game.

Someone posted a while back about how towards the end of his playing days the argos oshea was on were basically old vets who could occasionally throw out a big performance but not always. Feel like we're watching the Bombers slide into that as we speak.

So age and lack of depth? Can't go balls to the walls anymore, and for older guys balls to the walls is different than it was 5 years ago. Our key guys have aged a lot since this run began.

I think the big flaw is simply the head in the sand attitude about the age of some of the teams key players. Bighill gonna play after being injured all camp on just a weeks practise? Didn't we learn a lesson about playing him hurt in the grey cup? Sadly this appears to only end one way. Oshea hangs onto vets well past their best before date and the depth suffers and it all come apart and he gets fired and then a rebuild has to happen. Last year I felt the talent in camp was subpar, but this year it looked good to me. Just the roster was already set so it didn't matter. Need some more bold moves from the coaches because same old doesn't work with the age of the group that won you you in 2019/2021.

I said in the post game thread, game 1 after no preseason I can understand keeping collaros in to work out the kinks, especially with strevelers ankle getting the twist from douchebag earlier, but going forward he needs to be used.

I sure hope it's rust with collaros but there's been concerning things with his game since the 2022 grey cup. Sure he had some big games last summer but otherwise he's been shaky. He started the year as MOP front runner but by fall Brady took over that mantle and was the straw stirring the drink for the Bombers offensively. Collaros continues to struggle and they must work streveler into the passing game much much more.

Really not equal because I suspect if the salary cap weren't a thing some of those guys would have been back anyway.

Ford will be ok. Yeah he got caught looking but he also showed some good ability on a few breakups. Learning curves. Not that I am suggesting he is the same at all, but after game 1 tsn was yucking it up about Alford getting roasted for a couple tds.

Yeah preseason was a giant waste of time. You gave reps to dozens of players you already knew weren't going to be on the day 1 roster. Why? Let your team play together if there's that fee spots up for grabs. I actually thought they might cut Augustine and use rosery as the back up. Guess that was just silly thinking.

That's sadly a common thing with demski. Lot of times he carries the ball like a purse and loses it in traffic

I guess the question would be, did he just decide he didn't want to sit on the pr?

That however was karma. Dirtbag move to try and hurt streveler and then an injury to himself right after.

Never bet against the L'ks finding a way to ****** defeat from the jaws of victory.

After that showing the Bombers deserve to be looking up at everyone. Good thing it's an 18 game season.

Awful team is awful.

Sarcasm? You realize that after the Bombers game the cfl let teams kick non-chipped balls right?

Exactly. Nothing to brag about there.

Neither team looks impressive. Pretty ugly game so far. Edmontonians probably getting pre-drunk for the Oilers game later.

Who's been to Santiago Chile twice in one year?!?

Nothing, that's what makes for the most effective trolling

Mike being a troll, same as it ever was
