Whatever the method, both lines need to be upgraded. That much is obvious.

We weren’t going to win anyway, but to have 2 stupid INTs be the difference is sickening. Time to clean house after the season. Could be some lean times for a few years.

Exactly. Hitting ZC anywhere between the knees and shoulders wouldn’t have been a problem.

Well let’s face it, win or lose, the Bombers weren’t going to the Grey Cup anyways. Time for changes, players, coaches and management shouldn’t be spared.

The way the story reads in the FP is that Schoen made a choice to rehab after the Calgary injury. Personally I would have shut him down after an ACL tear was confirmed, but that might just be 20/20 hindsight on my part.

JMO, I personally think Schoen is done for his career. Two ACL tears in the same knee (I think) and getting near 30. I supported his signing and he was OK health wise until the Calgary game. Bringing him back for the LDC gave us the worst possible outcome.

I’m not quite as down on the BBs as much. Overcame a lot of mistakes to almost tie it. Showed some heart and resilience. Need to clean up some penalties and TOs for the Banjo Bowl.

This is true as well. If ZC plays it smart and doesn’t force deep throws then it improves BB odds markedly, IMO. Still going to be very tough today.

I’m really torn on Elgersma. Part of me wanted him to succeed in the NFL because it would validate we can develop good QBs in CIAU football. The selfish fan in me wants him to come to the BBs and wildly suceed, our own version of Russ Jackson, if you will. OK, I’ll get back into my straight jacket now.

Why is everyone assuming Schoen won’t be playing on LD. According to Hodge and the FP, he is expected to play.

I have to laugh regarding Castillo: when he makes a kick my buddy yells out “Gulf of Mexico”. When he misses a kick it’s “Gulf of America”. A lot more Mexico this year.

I guess you just focus on the -ve in my comments, completely ignoring my complementing him on adjusting his game. To clarify: ZC isn’t the player he used to be, especially on deep throws. I’ve been advocating for him to develop more of a mid to short range passing game. Last night he did that successfully and I’m pleased to see it and hope it continues. I acknowledge we don’t have the WR core to help him out. There, feel better now?

Cut the BS. I was actually happy with ZC play last night. ZC took what the defense gave him and I admire him for that. He’s had to adjust his game because he isn’t the deep thrower he used to be. I’ve been advocating for him to develop more of a short to midrange passing game and at least for this game he did so successfully.

Bombers need BradyO to be their best player in order to win. ZC is a shell of his former self but at least he isn’t forcing as many deep balls any more and takes what the defence gives him. I’ll take the win and hope Demski and Schoen can play on Labour Day.

While I never hope for an injury to any player, the BBs would be in a better position if Alexander isn’t ready to play. I will now plan my eternity in hell.
