BigBlue

Sorry you are right .... I was quoting TSN I think in the 4th quarter when they were 9 to 3 .... there must have been according to you 3 more subsequent penalties in our favor .... maybe they evened them up late in the game much as we saw in a badly called hockey game BTW where did you find your box score?

I don't know the exact stats but we must be leading the league in points against, somerthing well over 30 points per game but somehow we are 4 & 2 .... time for the D to tighten up ... for now: HOORAY!!!!! WE ARE FINDING WAYS TO WIN .... THANKYOU

I didn't see any Bomber get really wacked tonight in Ottawa .... any body notice any of the Blue getting nicked up tonight? I am really looking forward to Johnson getting back into the secondary next week.

I am already onto next Saturday's game (while I quietly celebrate tonight's victory). Its time to finally dominate and win big; Hammy is going to be playing desperate and will be giving its all trying to get its pride back. With its back against the wall they could be vicious. Still if we are going to be a force this year its time to finally strut our stuff. No more close encounters. Its time to build some steam in our engine. We need to focus and concentrate ... we can not afford to take the Cats lightly

HH to JFG for coming into his own tonight .... a sure handed reliable receiver that the team could depend on tonight ib clutch situations .... cheers

I am a long term mystic believing CFL REFS are somehow biased (CFL directed) against our Blue .... most of the time I decide I have been hallucinating and the perceived bias is just my homer mentality but there are times when it seems it was actually unfair. Tonight with the penalties 9-3 favoring Ottawa I really wondered .... especially after the hands to the face called on Goosen .... so much goes on in the trenches that I wondered how it was called seemingly unevenly ... But as my old hockey coach used to preach to us, you have to play better than the referees' adversity ... and tonight the Bombers did just that .... YIPEE!!!

I wonder if we had put Dressler on the six earlier whether we would have had the cap room to go after McDuffie .... MOS sang his high praises on 1290 today

but you have a limit of how many you can take off the six

I don't see it as a knee jerk reaction .... I see a proactive commissioner and thats a very good thing ... proactive isn't perfection just progress that needs multiple revisions over time, each one an incremental improvement

That is not the worst looking injury list i have ever seen but 4 of 7 are starters on defense

One game 34 Briggs, Jesse LB 31 Leggett, Maurice DB 86 Richards, Addison WR 6 game NAME 4 Gauthier, Shayne LB 25 Johnson, Bruce DB 54 Okpalaugo, Tristan DE 38 Wild, Ian

On Tsn @ 6pm Nichols sang Lapo's praises to high heaven

Wild flies around the field and seems to get injured laying it on the line ... by contrast Hurl seems late for everything and seldom is his body in jeopardy

really : Wild Johnson Leggett all back to full health?

QB Harris & Ottawa's offence have great stats but keep losing ... is this the week they start to turn it around?

The way Medlock has kicked recently I am wondering if he is working his way through an injury or a pull

Before all this "upper body injury .... lower body... " we as fans used to know a lot more about whats going on ... perhaps we as posters can become better detectives Lets start with the Dressler injury: is it worth a DI spot for him to just hold for Medlock ... if not will a QB hold for Medlock in Ottawa?

already cited in another thread this is an excellent discussion of our tackling: https://bomberbuzz.com/2017/07/28/bombers-defensive-backs-struggle-to-defend-run-against-alouettes/amp/

So why are we not moving Knox to the middle?

We have been lit up for an awful lot of points this season .... outside of missing two starting LBs and a starting DB, and a downgrade at MLB has anything else changed on our defense? Last year we strippped the ball with great regularity ... now I am wondering if we are putting the same energy into our tackling .... but how could that have changed? Is our ball hawking turnover producing coming back when we get our D starters back? That is what will make us champions I think....

well look how many first downs we got under that umbrella last night

"I'm really starting to think you don't like much in terms of the bombers and/or cfl." Taint as your name implies, you have been on my case for a while, like an annoying negatron .... I am not sure why you are sitting on some kind of self anointed throne of self righteous sitting in judgement of those who do not fit your narrow minded world "Other than the around the league thread and reg season bomber thread, most of your threads are negative towards the bombers and/or the refs;" Simply untrue .... just highlighting the issues the issues of the day, avoiding Captain Obvious "GDT vs Mtl starts with stating we have average NI's and how DD > Nichols..etc" I actually said our Canadians were better but in your prejudice you got it backwards .... happens all the time to those with a tainted perceptual field who see what they expect is there instead of what is there .... As to DD vs. Nichols, do you allow people to form opinions different than yours about who might be a better QB? Durant is a proven star, Grey Cup winner, and possibly coming into his best years or maybe he is about to collapse in a heap like Kevin Glenn .... but he played well last night .... Nichols has been the subject of much criticism on this board even as he is winning (can't throw the long pass, too slow picking out or finding secondary receivers, etc ad nauseum).... I think Nichols is decent ... just believe DD is a notch or two better .... how does expressing a judgment make me a negatron Mr. TF? "What would it take to fire a Coordinator" was a piece of sarcasm in reaction to the constant never ending bellyaching theme of so many threads about how awful our two coordinators are .... the conclusion jumpers never did engage their IQ to see what I was actually doing ... I have to concede that a subtle tongue in cheek does not seem to work on this board ... opinion sledge hammers seem to be the requirement BTW at no point was I looking for a coordinators head ... unless and until ,of course, every poster here demands it "Causes: 2 & Outs, late game fading, jekyll & hyde" was a simple attempt to organize and analyze what is ailing our club ... to find a theme or cause for all the little things going wrong, why our performance has been so inconsistent ... how is such a search anything but normal discussion ? search does not equal negatron except in the eyes of a tainted negatron "is it time to professionalize refs - complaining about refs that you thanked in another thread for gifting the bombers a win from the heavens": well giving thanks for a blessing is not exactly negativity, is it ... unless of course you hate God .... my thread was a simple putting forth a solution to one of the CFL's biggest blemishes .... an attempt to be constructive and helpful, not negative "Now I'm not saying people shouldn't bring up the negatives, or put their head in the sands, but you've really become habitually fixated on only the negative side of things" ... I do believe you have it backwards: you are the one who has "become habitually fixated on only the negative side of things" You see Mr TF it is you who has the warped mindset that interprets in negativity, that is, you are out there with some kind of an evangelistic grudge against me. Norman Vincent Peale never said disregard all facts and analysis to achieve The Power Of Positive Thinking ... there is a way to success and it involves thinking your way through through a problem So take off your grey lenses and try some rose coloured glasses And if you see Pollyanna say Hi to her for me Like this

totally disagree ... NFL CFL doesn't matter .... D Coordinators don't want to be embarrassed by a big play with a lead in hand and they insanely change strategy from what has been working ... its the stuff comebacks are made of

Those soft end of game schemes let the offence throw short passes underneath the deeper umbrella ... just don't let them complete a long pass : that would be too terrible for words Of course last night Montreal's prevent D allowed us a chance to win the game, so thanks. The prevent D is why 3 TDs can be scored in the last 3 minutes of a CFL game. It's why the last possession of the first half usually results in a score. I find it unreasonable that a defense that has been mostly tough as hell against the other team's offense should give that up to go soft just because it is nearing the end of a half. Can some one wake Ritchie Hall up to the realities of the soft prevent, please?
