Odds and Sods - Game 3 - Bombers at TigerCats
Arnold_Palmer replied to do or die's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
So quiet here after a big win.. -
Perreault given 4 year extension
Arnold_Palmer replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
People seem very happy about this. I like MP, you can plug him anywhere in the line up and he'll provide good energy, and he'll capitalize on his scoring chances. I'll never forget the game he scored 4 goals and almost potted a 5th! However I think on a good offensive team he belongs on the 3rd line. Not sure I like over 4 million for 4 years, but these are the glue guys that make teams good and they certainly don't come cheap. So overall decent signing! -

Coach Mike' Everything is' O'Shae
Arnold_Palmer replied to sportmentary2012's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Wait so you fully believe we're going to win 2 or less games this season? -
I'll never forget one of my first distinctive YouTube videos being of Mike Sellers running all over the Saskatchewan Rough Riders to rap music. Good times. Sellers truly was too good for the CFL.

Exactly. It's inexcusable for a 29 year old quarterback to have such poor clock managing skills. These are mistakes rookies make. Not third year starters.

Around The League Regular Season Discussion
Arnold_Palmer replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
And when was the last time we properly executed a fake field goal/punt? 3rd and medium sure but 3rd and 10.. Not too sure about that one. There certainly wasn't enough of a hold to warrant pass interference on the play. The refs got it right. This sequence of events weren't enough to change the game because lets face it.. The Bombers pulled out a stinker but in a close football game this is the difference between a win and a loss and thats on O'Shea. -
Around The League Regular Season Discussion
Arnold_Palmer replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not but I thought O'Shea really set the tone for Saturday's game in Calgary. Promising drive, Willy getting the ball out quick, drive stalls. 52 yard field goal attempt for Medlock who is the best kicker in the CFL. Infact we're paying him big money to hit kicks constantly at this distance. 3rd and 10 and we decide to do a fake field goal. We get one yard on the play and O'Shea decides to use a pointless challenge on pass interference which fails miserably. Sets up Calgary in great field position to get the opening points of the game. These are the kind of sequences that kills a team and momentum. -
cautiously excited for week two
Arnold_Palmer replied to Arnold_Palmer's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I don't think Calgary will be the same dominant team they've been for the past several years. They'll still have a chance every week with Bo. But I think the wheels slowly start to fall off. -
cautiously excited for week two
Arnold_Palmer replied to Arnold_Palmer's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Thats it. Season over. Nothing to look forward to! -
Ok ok I admit. Week one was a disappointing out come. But I think there's plenty of good narratives for week two. -Will Willy rise to the occasion in week two? -Will Lapo's schemes be executed? -Will Harris continue to be the work horse we hoped for? -Will Willy and Smith find chemistry? -Will Dressler have an impact? -Will Adams and Davis continue to impress? -Will the o-line hold their own? -Will the d-line get any pressure on Calgary's suspect o-line? -Will Randle continue his dominance? -Will we score 30? -Will we come out with some urgency in the first half for once? -Will we beat Calgary for the second time in Calgary since 2002? -Will Medlock make a 60 yard field goal? Should be interesting to see how everything unfolds.

Posters: Whats different this young season?
Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We started off 5-2 in 2014, we started off 1-0 last season, we looked terrible in game one this year. We've only made the playoffs once since 2008. We haven't won a grey cup since 1990. (im 25 and we havent won in my life time) So I really don't blame people at this point for not being very optimistic. -
You think I was being literal? If that was the case that would mean for me to think we have never beat Calgary in Calgary since the existence of the league. Thats not true even though it feels true right now
-
One win in Calgary since what.. 2002?
-
I don't think he's a prima donna nor arrogant. He's just confident in his abilities like all the greats are. God forbid we get a hockey player telling it how it is instead of the typical "team game" "dig deep" cliches we hear in every interview.
-
Wishful thinking! We'll do what we typically do in Calgary. Play well, make the Stamps sweat it out for a bit but end up coming short. We never win in Calgary but we'll win the moral department at least!!

Bombers add DB Terrence Frederick, release Louie Richardson
Arnold_Palmer replied to Rich's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The reality is. If you're tall and you can cover. You're more then likely going to be in the NFL. A lot of talented players in the secondary here in the CFL but mostly due to the NFL over looking them because of their height. -
Bombers add DB Terrence Frederick, release Louie Richardson
Arnold_Palmer replied to Rich's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Good pick up. Fair amount of NFL experience. Pretty good considering the NFL is crazy for DB's over 6 feet. Seems like he held his own. Any chance to get better in every area is always a plus. -
Really? You cannot compare the two quarterbacks. Glenn has the quickest release in the game. He's never needed a great line to put up good passing numbers. All I see is a quarterback who is ansy in the pocket and hearing foot steps before they're coming. Not a good sign for a guy in his third full season as a starting quarterback.
-
And that's exactly the problem. You can't blame that on the coaching, the schemes, the players. Infact this is nearly impossible to fix. It's a mental thing.
-
The reason Kevin Glenn still has a job in this league is his quick release. Only him and his old OC Anthony Calvillo were able to get the ball off that quickly. If there's anyone Drew Willy needs to mold his game off of it's Kevin Glenn. You simply can't get to him the ball is already out of his hands by the time the pocket starts to break down.
-
We'll see. I thought some of Lapo's schemes were nice. The execuation just wasn't there. Too many over thrown balls, and happy feet in the pocket. Can't blame that OC/player personal
-
I think it's time to talk Drew Willy. In 2014 I thought he showed promise. Last year I started noticing the happy feet in the pocket. One thing I really liked about Willy in 2014 was how cool and calm he was, and his pocket awareness. In 2015 you started to see him throwing off his back foot, and moving around when the pressure wasn't there. Personally I think he's taken some big hits and mentally i'm not sure if he can recover. Numbers or not he looked dreadful last night. Can he recover? Is it time to start looking at Nichols or another QB option? To win in the CFL you need solid play from your quarterback. This is Willy's third year here and there's really no excuse for him to be regressing instead of progressing.

hefney signs 1-day contract, retires a bomber
Arnold_Palmer replied to Taynted_Fayth's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Do you remember how dysfunctional the Bombers organization was when they released Hefney? I don't blame him one bit. The guy was one of the hardest working, and most talented Bomber players we've had in the last decade. I'm glad at the end of the day he was able to retire a Bomber. -
Great signing. Huge upgrade on Moore. A lot of good free agent receivers. Hope we're not done yet.
