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.

There is no doubt in my mind that the addition of Mr. Bond to the o'line has dramatically improved it.

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. Noeller and 17to85 2
bb1 Posted October 11, 2016 Report 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

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.

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.

Rich Posted October 11, 2016 Report 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....

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?
