The offence sputtered once again when it was needed. 10 first downs in 3 quarters of football is flat out atrocious. We forced two turnovers inside the 25 yd line and came away with 3 points! Turn those into 2 TD's and we win this game. Willy is still is very inaccurate with his throws and overthrowing or under throwing his receivers. The boos he received tonight were well deserved. The defense got shredded again tonight, but still gave us a chance to win. This loss is on the O. I'm curious what the board here thinks on how much more time to give Willy? Is the fact that we have no running game (no surprise there) contributing to his awful performance? Should he be benched in favour of Nichols? Thoughts?

Man... you should buy a lottery ticket this week.

The offence is pathetic. 9 first downs in 3 quarters of football. 10 mins of possession in 1st half???? I don't know why I thought this year would be better. This is a repeat of last week.

I just hope that LaPo breathers some new life in a very stale offence. I wasn't too impressed by pre-season, but I think they were holding back. GO BLUE! AAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDD..... SACK KEVIN GLENN!

First time player here... hope I remember to do this every week.... This week I'll choose the Flyin Hawaiian Chad Owens

I think Marcel B. needs to be on the chopping block. There is no imagination on the offence. It's struggled since he was brought on.

Well I'm certainly not on medication. And I probably should clarify my statement of "last year was a good year" because there was improvement both on and off the field. I'm not happy we have the longest Grey Cup Drought. but I see a positive change coming and I think we'll be poised to end that drought.

Hey Everyone! I for one am excited for the upcoming 2015 season. I'm anxiously awaiting kickoff. I want to point out that I am thrilled with all the work that Walters has done in trying to rebuild this team from laughing stock to respectability. I'm curious to know what people's expectations for the 2015 season are. Last year was a good year, and there will be lots to build off. Does anyone think it's possible we can be playing for the Grey Cup in our backyard? I realize that in a 9-team league, the Bombers could go to the dance, but I'm wondering would that pressure hurt or help the Bombers this year? Personally with all the new personnel in place, and all the new acquisitions, I thinking we'll be a .500 team this year. There's a lot to be said about chemistry tjos year and with so many new faces, I think it'll take us 2-3 games before we get to see what the Bombers are made of. I like the additions of the o-line, and they should defintiely keep Willy on his feet... but I hope Wiily starts getting rid of the ball a bit quicker and learsn to throw balls away. I'd rather see a ball thrown out of bounds, then him getting sacked trying to make a play. Anyways lets hear your thoughts Bomber fans? What's going to be our achilles heel this year? What will be our biggest strength? Cheers! I can't wait for kickoff!

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't all Shaw customers have NHL centre ice now for free this year?

This team will not win again. They over achieved this year. Undisciplined. Terrible run d. Mediocre o line. Not enough receiver depth. Even special teams had a shaky game ( minus the TD). And some really bad coaching decisions. The team is movng forward...but we need to address the run d and the o line to be a legit playoff team. Look to next year fellas.

Lol. That's too funny.

I can't believe how badly played and coached this game was. Terrible decision to not go for the fg...that's coaching. Defence can't tackle.... our run d isn't a concern? Offence like usual gets Willy sacked. Special teams... Hrialaju shanked several punts. Were not going to win another game this year. I hope the o line is blown apart next year.

I'll chime in here. There was one situation a few years ago in the NFL game. I was watching a Chargers Broncos game in Denver. Rivers had thrown an "interception" . TV replays showed the ball hit the turf. San Diego challenged the play however the replay system wasn't working. As per NFL rules the ref Waited the allotted 2 mins and since the system still wasn't working Denver retained possession of the ball. Yes it happens in the NFL too. Its annoying but it is part of the game. I'm pissed that it happened. I'm pissed that the officiating is a joke. But WHY THE HELL CANT OUR OFFENCE SCORE SOME BLOODY TOUCHDOWNS!!!!! that burns my @$$ more than anything. Theses losses would be Wins if we could start putting majors on the board!

We gave up 5 sacks. Grigsby I thought had a decent game but its clear the oline isn't giving him holes to run through. While I'd love to parachute in new talent changing them right now is going to make things worse (hard to believe I know). Unfortunately we're stuck with this oline who is lucky Willy hasn't gotten killed. Walters will hopefully address the problem in the offseason. Just imagine how much better Willy will be with proper pass protection... Can't wait!

I see a huge improvement in this team, and I hope it continues, but tonite's games and last weeks game really have me worried. Our porous o-line showed up in typical fashion yielding 5 sacks and we had too many 2-outs. Yes I agree MB needed to change the play calling, but wow for the 2nd game in a row, Willy was under siege and had very little time to throw the ball. Grigsby's zig zagging aside, there were 0 holes for him to run through. The special teams blunders last week and this week, were madening. These are the exact same problems that plagued us last year, and they have started to trickle back in the last two games. Still though, I think we will hit the 8 win plateau, but I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't concerned.

Hey y'all. These first two weeks of the CFL have renewed my faith in the Blue and Gold. We are 2-0, and going into the Montreal next week where 3-0 is a legit possibility. I just wanted to start a discussion about our O-Line for this year. I have disliked our O-Line for several years now and I'm still not really sold on our starting group right now. I saw Willy take some really nasty licks yesterday because of poor blocking (yes I realize that Grigsby also needs to learn how to block just as well as he can run). The same licks that Buck used to take. Do you guys think we still need to upgrade the O-Line? Are Morely and January the best we can get or is there someone better? Or do we just build that line through the draft?

Agreed...but what do you expect from this team? Do you think that will still roll over and die? Or battled hard for 3 quarters and then roll over and die? Or actually have the personnel in place to deal with adversity and possibly overcome it?

Hey, Just wanted to get some general discussion going regarding Bomber fans expectations this season (forgive me if a similar thread exists). Call me naive but I have a glimmer of hope that we can suprise a few teams this year. I think the Florida mini-camp experiment was a huge step in the right direction and it finally looks like they are addressing the QB issue. I don't think we'll make the playoffs, but I'm thinking we'll be able to squeak out 6 wins this year. Thoughts? Anyone willing to tell me that I need to have my head examined? Cheers!

T Am i the only one who finds it ironic that you complain about LaPolice and Reed yet you want Khari Jones and Tim Burke? I was more referring to recycling bad coaches in our organization. Lapo was run out of town in 2003 when he was our OC, yet we brought him back as HC. IMO Kavis wasn't that great of a DC so why bring him back? Burke has proved he was successful at DC... with two teams now. So why not bring him back ? According to Wade Miller's press conference ...Burke is interested in coming back if it fits And correct me if I 'm wrong Khari never coached the bombers has he?

What is it with Bombers fans wanting our old outcasts back in coaching positions???? We've recycled Lapolice... now some want Kavis Reed back? As someone already pointed out, there are other options. I'd love to have Burke back as DC. His track record is proven for itself, but I am not sure he'll fit in with the new HC... which is the bigger priority. I heard a rumour that the front runner is Khari Jones. Anyone can confirm or deny this? Personally I'd like to get Khari as our new OC... but someone else at HC.

What an absolute horrible decision to not try and win the game for with 25 secs to go!!!! Burke has got to go! Unreal. BS PI call that extended an Edmonton drive too... but man the offence crapped the bed in the entire 2nd half!

I still think 100% the o-line needs to be revamped. I think Buck's numbers would improve if our O-Line was solid. Regarding what Burke said though... perhaps he's doing damage control? Or perhaps he underwent a silent lobotomy. Buck looked terrible against the Tabbies.
