Noeller

I feel like, if it was a talent issue... There's no way they would have broken camp with this collection of guys. So it has to be more about scheme and possibly some execution of that scheme. All of that to say that I think it's fixable... But maybe that's blue and gold coloured glasses.

I can't think of anything other than Pathetic and Embarrassing. The fans deserve so much better than this. My only solace is it's a long season.

I remember a time during the Jim Daley era where they didn't have a DC and Doug Brown said they basically went "sandlot" and just made **** up on the field on their own, because they had nobody calling plays for them. It was, of course, an abomination. It led to Jason Maas setting a CFL record for consecutive completions, etc.... I haven't been this sickened watching a lack of defense since then ...

Pathetic. Slowest QB in the league runs for a 15 yard first down.....

This is really hard to watch. Never expected a completely ineffective defense to start the year. Finally a ******* blitz....

Secondary is a problem... DL shouldn't be, but tonight does not look effective at all...

DL getting no pressure

Embarrassing effort... Thought the DL was supposed to eat the Ticats OL lunch??

Gaping hole after gaping hole in the DL....

Praying this happens. Lord and Miller are geniuses and these two flicks are among my favourites, any genre, of the last 10-15 years...

Bullshit on 28k in that **** hole last year... Looked more like 20k+ for them the last several years.

I mean, it's OBVIOUSLY this... Vaval is a good cover guy, but if he gets hurt and we lose him for returns, that f**** us too.

I believe I'm in for at least 5... June against Ham, July 24/31, a mid Aug game, and Banjo Bowl... At minimum.

This is definitely the point I was trying to make with my post Saturday morning. I was as angry as anyone with some of the shitty play we saw at times Friday, but at the end of the day, that's a graveyard for us for a very long time and the conditions were awful. Getting two points is, literally and figuratively, a huge win.

I'll go Perkins as well...

I would imagine EVERY team was meeting with him.... He's going to go very high and I'd be shocked if anyone let him slip to where the Jets are.

Meeeeee toooooo...... Couldn't get to our spots via Warner and had to settle for some mediocre Plan B's..... Siiiiiiiiigh.

I could have sworn I read something online (possibly 3DN which explains a lot, if untrue...) about Bell being a healthy scratch and there was some mild shock about that...

I really thought Ottawa was going to be better... Stillmtime I guess but maybe I overestimate Dinwiddie's actual abilities...

Faj and whining about perceived non calls... Name a more iconic duo....

Pouring rain in Ottawa is going to make this a very ugly game...

Leroux to Sheehan... Hoping that gets cleaned up.

Was busy Thursday and was at last night's game... Excited to finally sit down and watch some CFL on TSN. Think both of these teams will be better than most believe... The RBs are better with Dru than Maier, but there's still potential. Faj is still a noodle armed nobody, but with a proper game plan, he can at least give them a chance.

Extremely cold and extremely windy at McMahon. I haven't watched the video yet, but based on your posts, I don't think you guys realize how bad the elements were... It was like a playoff-time game, as confirmed by Zach on the OB post game. Just absolutely brutal conditions to play in. The wind was swirling all night and absolutely did change directions which is what kind of ****** the Bombers re: coin toss, etc. Defense and offense each took turns looking like all stars and then absolute hot steaming garbage. The stamps final scoring drive was embarrassing to sit there and watch. I, too, was fully expecting a fumble or INT on our final offensive drive. Credit to Zach and the whole offense for getting it done in the clutch. We have the best kicker in the league by a mile... Once they completed that pass to Pokey I knew we had won. McMahon is an absolute graveyard for us and has been for generations. That, combined with the weather, the fact that it's the first game of the year, on the road.... Just getting out of there with two points is a blessing. I really feel like next week at #FortHew will look better. Last year I walked out of McMahon at half time of that ludicrous "Stampede Bowl"... This year, redemption. Mrs Noeller was 0/5 in games attended last year and on the verge of being banned by me and @Coorsman from attending any further Bombers games. As the kick sailed through at the end, she looked at me and said "My curse is lifted!"... She may stay... For now. Go Blue.

I just want a win... By one point or by 30. Just find a way.
