Our D the last 4 games.

[IC Khari]

Looks a lot like last years defence but Edmonton does have a great offence. 

[Noeller]

This D is beyond awful... Horrendous. Complete liability. 

[captaincanuck12]

Gave up too many big plays.   Couldn't stop the run.  Why wouldn't you fake a blitz and drop into coverage?  Or vice versa?  Keep the offense guessing.   Of course Reilly had all day to throw.  No pressure.  Just pathetic

[Tracker]

Our D-line which was completely retooled in off-season has not lived up to its promise. Cummings and Shologan are ineffective and the rotating defensive end opposite Westerman is inconsistent as hell.

[Guest J5V]

Can't play for 60 minutes, not ready to play at the start of the game, again, completely undisciplined, terrible on both sides of the ball, at home, in a game we absolutely had to have. O'Shea complaining about penalties, mistakes, and needing to play cleaner. How about challenging the PI, Mike? Almost 500 yds of offense and 30 first downs by Edm. Wow.

[Goalie]

33 26 if he challenges the PI. Makes no difference. Bottom line.... our D wasn't good. Our O started slow. I don't get how lack of execution Is on the coaches 

[Noeller]

Disgusting... Embarrassed by the lack of effort and scheme. 

[pigseye]

That's the first full 60 mins the D has stunk it out since the streak. I'd say Hall's been figured out pretty thoroughly now and unless he finds a way to adjust the Bombers are going to keep getting killed in man-to-man matchups.

[Noeller]

This D has been so bad for so long... Holy ****. I'm gonna be so mad for so long... ****. What a pile of steaming **** this was.

I agree but they did shut edmonton down in the 2nd half outside of a couple fgs and a long td. But I agree with your main point for sure. Hall has been figured out

Make that the last 5 games. The last 2 especially the D has really looked soft. Back to back games where we needed a stop by our D to win/potentially win the game and both times they've crumbled. Starting to come back to earth at the worst possible time.

Our D looked like the Etch D in 2014. Couldn't stop anything to seal a win late in the game.

If we go 8-10  do we still keep MOS?

Do we have any spare D lineman to play cornerback?

[Old Bomber Fan]

While I agree the defense was not good tonight I also thought the offense wasn't very good either. Yes we had over 300 yards of offense and scored what 26 points but we couldn't maintain drives; and we constantly continue to throw those dinkie little passes. I wouldn't mind it too much if we had the game in hand or at least were controlling the clock but we do neither. Further why in the name of ....... are we throwing the ball to Dressler in double and triple coverage time and time again. Kohert dropped several balls tonight, Smith was a non event, Dressler had one good catch and run for a TD and then we have Denmark who continues to catch everything thrown his way but is seldom used. He gets behind coverage like Dressler, is not as often in double coverage as Dressler is but for some reason is not thrown the ball.

I guess we were out coached in that our game plan both offense and defense wasn't good enough. We were out played as well and reality is Edmonton has a better team talent wise than we do. Can we get into the playoffs; well with a little help from others we can but if we continue to play as we did tonight we will not need a little help but rather a lot of help. Here's hoping without rose coloured glasses.

Our D the last 5 games..........

Well said.

Meh, the D stood up when they needed to, made some big plays that gave the O a chance to win the game which they couldn't deliver.  Not really impressed with either side tonight, they kind of deserve each other.  Fair to middlin' team is what they are right now.

[Goalie]

What was the time of possession in the first half after the dressler TD cuz it seemed like edmonton owned it and not just cuz the D couldn't get off the field but cuz our O couldn't stay on it. Really good field position for Edmonton most of the first half also.

Is this sarcasm? Reilly completed 32 of 38 passes for 355 yards. White rushed for 104 yards on 19 carries.

The Eskimos scored 40 points.

What game were you watching??

No I guess they don't but the Bombers D was just terrible all evening. Any time the offense managed to score the Eskimos just marched right back down the field and answered.

No doubt but it's not like our O was doing much for 3 quarters either

Dress fumble at the 2, and, a return for touchdown that was called back on  a phantom penalty. the O and ST did enough to win, the D was as porous as a sponge.

The game I watched had an inconsistent offensive attack with plenty of two and outs with a sporadic drive or two.  Neither side played well enough to earn the victory and the ST game was about as sparky as a bowl of cold porridge.

You can't hang this loss on the offense when the Esks O moved the ball downfield at will on our defense & the refs had a boner for the Eskimos all night.
