Cause you're fooling yourself if you think that hasn't changed the complexion of the team immensely. It's definitely both...the o-line and QB. Do people here think Willy would have rattled off this many wins with the same O-line? I really doubt it. Willy is more of a stats guy than a winning QB. 11/12 for 50 yards. And we're down by 14 already. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt in my mind that the addition of Mr. Bond to the o'line has dramatically improved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the point you're trying to make but that analogy isn't even close. Bond is arguably the best OL in the entire CFL. 17to85 and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Well i just wanted to say congrats to the Blue. After the way the year started I was definitely one of those who thought here we go again. Thankfully I was wrong and I think it does reflect well on the organisation that it can rethink it's starting Qb and do whatever it has too (like bringing back Denmark) to field a winning team. Kudos to MOS and Walter's. Edited October 11, 2016 by bb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripper Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Straight up guys. Congrats on getting a spot locked up. Best of luck to the Bombers in the show. The team is heading in the right direction these days, and that's exciting for the fans who have held the fort all these years. bb.king, Bomberfan85, Jacquie and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they're not letting in tons of passing tds but chewing up the field with 300-400 yard games will kill us. Now that we've made the playoffs we better have a sold out final game. I'm tired of seeing empty stands even with a decent product on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to let riderstronson know on riderfans of the positive direction spearheaded by management. He believes signing O'Shea and Walters long term will doom the Bombers to mediocrity. No guarantees either way but the Bombers are showing positive signs and it is translating into wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 What's crazy this season is that there are now 3 Western teams who have clinched playoff spots. No Eastern teams. No Eastern team has a .500 or better record. Just like old times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gravy would be a home playoff game and a trip to the West final for a 1 game shot... You'd rather stay in the West then the East for the playoffs?
