do or die

Our D collapsing like a cheap paper bag, certainly made that call look worse......

The call aside....bottom line.... is we just cannot perform the most basic and necessary fundamentals of the game.......BLOCKING and TACKLING Hard to beat anyone at FOOTBALL without those......

How are Moore's tackling skills?

Key game.... Bombers need a good start..... Nope.... A. Kelly bounces pass like a seal...for a RB 6... Bombers needed a strong end to the half..... Nope....Grigsby drops TD pass. We throw a bomb on 3rd and 5.....turnover Redblacks shred our D for a TD to end the half.... Redzone execution is not a Bomber specialty Breaking tackles is not a Grigsby specialty.... Clarence Denmark is a competent player.... ....but some question marks around the rest of the receivers... RB Williams looks like a rising star..... ....helped by the Bombers horrible minor league tacking..,... Short yard situations + shoddy tackling = killer gains.... T. Sherman had just an atrocious night in space......terrible.... Leggett had a 114 missed FG touchdown..... ...but evened out the scale with multiple missed tackles on D..... Ottawa simply ate up them unbalanced D formations..... ...which make it sometimes impossible to stop the run.... ...or in this case...another 188.... Meanwhile, Bomber OL did their pylon thing again.... January and Greaves really struggling out there..... Willy really didn't play very well.... ...but hard to...when NOTHING is going on around him.... Another 5 sacks and multiple hits on Drew.... Another plethora of penalties...... Kuale managed to snag 3 of them, before injury... If the bench does not await, then I just don't know... Under News at 11....Watson gets injured..left game Our D had it all covered....no pressure, no tackling..... Tonight....we looked like the expansion team, out there...... Need to start looking at guys at multiple positions..... Need to take a hard look at our OC and DC, moving forward..... Need to start benching guys for taking penalties/ poor play... Need to start up my meds, again.....

C'mon Walters...snap yer fingers......

Kuale needs to find a cubicle, somewhere. If this guy is supposedly one of our "leaders', then we in trouble....

Need more options,,,,,,

We will have to top any Rider offers......

I agree for the most part but i think numbers 1. and 3. go hand in hand. Thats where most your depth guys are used, special teams. lack of depth means special teams ain't so good. That is why depth was #1

Progress? Found a QB who can throw the ball, is tough, and has big upside Found a coach, that the team busts their ass for, right to the end, no matter what the situation May have ended the revolving door at kick returner Got rid of some of the "me me attitude" that has held us up, the last number of years Found our all round CDN kicker, going forward Plugged the gaping hole at Safety, moving forward Overall, far better play in secondary That said, there were (and still are) limitations that pretty well put a ceiling, on how much progress, we were gong to make. 1. Depth - this was not exactly a military secret - if we ran into injuries,things were going to get iffy - we miss Ian Wild, big time and Moore and Anderson were taking up key roles while healthy, and Patty N, was supposed to take on another. The ongoing Watson/Sears thing didn't help. The long snapping is killing us on a weekly basis. 2. OL - we play 3 Yanks on the line, yet are terribly inconsistent, run game is off/on,Willy is taking a serious pounding and January is really slowing down. Single biggest organization fail.... is the inability to find some import guys, among the gazillion in the US, until the Domestic larder is restocked. 3. Under the unexpected - the Special teams - costing us points, field position and momentum, with a myriad of mistakes, on a weekly basis. Either MOS has to take a more direct hand on this, or Tracy needs to depart....

One guy is 2nd year in league......other guy, 13 years in league See the difference?

Rider D-line and run game,not looking that great against non-Bomber teams

wouldn't kill me, to be trying some new import OL guys......

He is also invulnerable to penalties......

  You beat me to it. The block to the back was bad enough, but the roughing the kicker non call defies belief. If the Riders win this game close I hope they have the decency to not pound their chests too much. Don't worry. They're not going to win.  Don't worry, they are going to pound their chests....

So who was the rookie QB, in the OT?

Nice ball awareness, Burris...

Bad snap/hold

Hank

You know what happens when you coach not to lose.....

Meatball PI call......

Our inability to recruit import O-Linemen is a huge factor - we play 3....and yet we are terrible.

At least Sears will hit people in the mouth........thought we got out- physical- ed in the Lions game, and for that matter a number of games this year. Not impressed with Dunn, and as far as Kuale, not more needs to be said......

Why all this talk about Kelly.....when we are still saddled with Romby - a vet who can't get on page with the QB's, is not going to make a tough catch, and who takes penalties?

Wiecek is simply a knob-in-training
