Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Arnold_Palmer replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Robert’s was absolutely amazing. To put up 2000 all purpose yards during his prime the years we had a terrible o-line and guys like Tee Martin as QB was absolutely incredible. We’ve been blessed to have some great running backs in Winnipeg for the last 20 years but it all starts with Blink. One of those worth the price of admission kind of players. -
Man letting Dru Brown go was a franchise altering move. The cap we would save from Collaros to Brown alone would have allowed us to retool this year and really go all in next year for the grey cup at home. But now we’re handcuffed with Zach because of the guaranteed money.

Personally I would put Johnson on the practise roster, let Whitehead play receiver and give Smith or Case another shot. Both were close to breaking one. If they see Whitehead as a returner fair enough as well but then bring in Wheatfall who had a 100 yard receiving game this season but regardless the Johnson experiment is not working. -
Yeah Bo going for the deep shot was a stupid move. Run the ball or try to move the sticks, no need to be that aggressive there for Hamilton.

I won’t blame it all ion Zach because yes it was pretty much his worst game of the season but the O-line struggled hard, and that was often with just a three man front. Randolph in particular had a tough game. I believe he was responsible for three sacks. I mean hey for a CFL rookie to go from right guard To left tackle is a tough ask. I will give credit where credit was due, when the team needed him the most he had the game winning drive and this was all on five days rest. The offense will need to be a lot better next week in Saskatchewan. -
Sour grapes on the rider board about the game winning rouge. All of a sudden it’s a horrible rule that needs to be changed immediately!!

By far the best DL rotation we’ve rolled out all season. I really think Gauthier is a weak link out there in the line backing core. The defense looks almost perfect otherwise.

Als are easily the team to beat this season but as we know anything can happen in a best of one playoff game. -
Suitor is hilarious. At first I was impressed he knew about Oliverias head banging thing he does when he really gets going but he ended up mentioning it about a dozen times through out the game, then I was like oh okay it’s a TSN talking point.
-
Yeah well the issue is as much as we complain about Bighills decline, Gauthier is a big downgrade from even the 2024 version of Biggie.

All this talk about advanced real time stats lol it’s very bush league. -
I think a lot of people have been frustrated with the way this season has been going, and there are legitimate areas of concern about O’Shea especially around roster management, however yeah it also does rub me the wrong way when I see comments that call him an idiot or a moron, it’s just really disrespectful because O’Shea has helped build the best stretch of Bomber teams I’ve ever had in my life time, I went through a lot of bad Bomber teams in my life time and I know after four grey cup appearances the expectations get stronger but people easily forget what it’s actually like to have someone who’s clueless running the Blue Bombers.

3 stars plus hh 700th win kid cant-ada bc sucks
Arnold_Palmer replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah I thought the secondary was amazing. Even when Rourke had time to throw he was having a hard time finding an open receiver. You don’t often see a quarterback with that much time unable to find an open receiver. I was also thinking the same thing about Jones. What a solid addition he’s been, as an Edmonton cut, coming in and in my opinion he’s just a solid not spectacular guy. Just seems to be in the right place to make a play nothing fancy about his game but reliable. Brady was really good again but far way too few touches, he should have had about 15-20 touches. I don’t like the two cute run to Augustine early in the game, get your star running back involved early and often. -
Completing nearly 80 percent of his passes almost 300 yards, a TD and no INT’s.. I think he’s been good
-
Why even put Streveler in on second and three if you’re not going to ever use it properly? Give it to Oliveria, they never let Streveler throw on short yardage plays. All it says to the d is that it’s going to be a run. At least with number 8 in there you’re keeping the defense honest.
-
Is it me or is Rourkes body language really poor right now?
-
Terrible spot from that ref on second down. No way that was short.

On a positive note I’m excited to see Lawler back in the line up. The O had started moving the ball more efficiently, the line has given Zach more time in the pocket, and with that extra week of practise there’s no excuse not to see our best offensive game plan. -

Why would we need Adam’s when we can dress 15 ST linebackers. -

I find it so weird that Buck as our OC and a former quarterback doesn’t see Strev as anything more than a runner. He has proved he can throw the football if given the chance. -

I know this won’t happen because a teams general manager won’t be able to help themselves but it would be hilarious if the entire league played hard ball with B.C making them Have to either have both quarterbacks on the team and take up over a million dollars in cap space next season, or having to release him and be on the hook for 250 K, I know that probably won’t happen but I don’t like when teams spend like this and allow another less fortunate team to bail them out. -

I want to see more of Wheatfall he actually reminds me a lot of Lawler. Small sample size though of course. -

I think Rourke gives them a better chance to win even without the practise and knowledge of the playbook. Baker was able to come in with the LA Rams and win a game after 5 days of being with the team. -

How do they afford it? I have to feel for Adam’s he was having an outstanding season but that’s the nature of the business. Any chance he plays against us on Sunday? -

I wonder if Montreal was keeping cap space for Mack’s return because bringing in Mack would make them the over whelming favorites to repeat.
