do or die

1967? Jeez, c'mon. That '68 team with its 3-13 record was the best team ever. As Blue Bomber Head Coach at the time Joe Zaleski used to say."We're optimistic." Blinding light at the end of that particular tunnel.....

Bombers are better than their record Riders are better than their record 1967 Bombers were better than their record Whatever......meaningless cant....

After perusing the forums.....think it must be autumn, in Bomberland.....as both the leaves and excuses begin to fall......

How do we really know that film wasn't House of Cards? Or an episode from the Carry On series?

A bye week to get ready for Calgary.Opener looked good though. We need an off season of prep time per game. Preparation, consistent execution, and making required adjustments.....have not been Bomber specialties for ions......

MOS really needs to think about what he just said.......... If the Blue is actually better than the record...then what is holding them back? Coaching?

Lets not kid ourselves.....Drew Willy makes this O......passible. That is it. We have a number of endemic and ongoing problems with this Marcel O. Willy....by his ability to find the open guy, and willingness to stand in the pocket long enough to find them (and getting a pounding) can mitigate some of those problems....but only to a certain point. ...until he gets hurt again....

Also, QB has to take his eyes away from the LOS.....slows down reading progressions The operative word here (and in this O, for that matter) is.........slow.

To say nothing of the sacks, turnovers, and broken bodies of Bomber QB's littering the field......

Missed out on some prime gardening opportunity......

Hall is certainly a upgrade. Huge mistake passing up the opportunity to upgrade OC when we canned Etch..... and we get to keep paying for it, the rest of this season.... Like some of the coach hire examples given above, the club simply took the easy way out, as opposed to striving for something, say excellence...... Kind of the overarching story of this team

Can Ian play OL or receiver?

At least a BT return would boost Brylcreem, Slurpee, and napkin sales.....

Naw, lets keep it as is......dispirited offensive players, going through the motions in this tippytoe O, waiting for Marcel to get the next QB killed. Why get in the way of that?

They also take forever to get there...... The entire tempo of this O, is like watching paint dry, anyways......

Well....Meatloaf was wrong. Two out of Three is bad. Felt sorry for our D, who competed from whistle to gun........ Can't say the same for the rest of the team. Flat, inispired, unprepared..... Bombers continue to fiddle, while the fans burn......

Important to get this guy....given the way Walters dropped the ball on .... Alfred E. Neuman

Bombers give up good punt return to set Als up for 3..... ....shades of things to come....in spades.... O running 2 and outs...receivers not making plays.... Bucknor makes nice pick....Marshall fumbles it back...... Some of the Blue receivers looking kind of disinterested... Sloppy patterns, alligator arms, lack of hustle... D. Adams flat out drops TD pass in end zone..... Nichols's passing much more erratic, today.... Slow wide snaps (again) from Picard..... Montreal boning themselves with multiple penalties.... ..only thing keeping Bombers in game.... Bomber 2 minute drill: two and out on O.....then let special teams take over ..and let Logan return punt 75 yds for last minute TD 21-3...ensuing KO skips past 2 Bombers.... for another point.... Halftime: awaiting them adjustments....waiting, waiting, waiting..... ...95 yd return by Logan to open 2nd half....down to the 10 TD pass to SJ Green on next play 28-3 ...ensuring 29 minutes of (you guessed it) good ole garbage time...... Montreal had 250 return yds...in just 31 minutes.. So who does Mike fire, this week? Crompton drilled by Bass,...Hurl INT ...but Bomber O produces 5 yd loss...followed by sack..... Blue have a 1st and 5, later.. ....and STILL cant make a first down... Useless gadget plays with Denmark, continue..... #24 tippy toeing his way....up to the LOS.... At least Marshall is a pretty good RB.... ...whenever our OC remembers to actually use him.... Nichols takes a pounding as game wears on..... We still have the worst 2nd down/ redzone O packages Bombers D playing tough right to the end.... ...and deserved a far better fate... ...but hard to overcome Als... and our O and our ST's Yes, the mantra is patience Although this team..... is turning me into a patient 8 day prep....for crucial game.... ....pretty hard to tell...really... Just not ready for playoffs...nice grin, though... Wade Miller quote in papers: "Bombers right on track" ....but he forgot to mention the ole oncoming train... MOS says he will watch the film, then comment.... DOD says he will eye the glass, then drain it....

We got 30 in week 1 this season. Against the Riders......

only 8 days prep, though.....

Some of the calls on 2nd down and in the red zone....made me reach for my gin, a little more quickly...

every time we are 2nd and 4 or something....I cringe

Hall is doing his job.....that just about covers it.

Game plan got worse as the game wore on (again), Nichols not that accurate, as the Montreal heat pickedup . Some receivers and kick returners need a boot in the butt, as well. Some of these plays in the backfield to Denmark need to be scrubbed. Our run plays still run in slow motion. Walker is a waste of space.....

Tom Landry....
