Stamps @ Bombers: Game Day Thread

[M.O.A.B.]

My biggest concern was the OL. I think we have now given up the most sack in just 2 games we played. 

Wylie's influence being missed already. 

 

EDIT. Just counted. 4 last week and 3 tonight.

Lol. Nah. Football is about scoring points and turnovers. We had zero points in the 2nd half and 5 turnovers in total. First drive of the game says it all .. Clock killing drive.... Interception. 

Nichols was awful. Pick 6 was the dagger. Not the dagger dagger but that started the downfall.. 2 picks... 1 pick 6 and 1 on the first drive. Those were killers.

Adding insult to loss, we have suffered few injuries. Hoping nothing is long term.

We have to hope that Nichols performance last year wasn't an aberration. Yes it's just one game, but it was the home opener and a game he needed to play well in. 

Instead, we got what was likely his worst game as a Bomber. If Nichols continues to struggle, a move for Franklin may be a necessity.

Meh. 1 game. Im not worried. Bombers just really struggled.

Nichols' stats were not that much worse than BLM. The difference was the turnovers and timely plays. Stamps did it, Bombers didn't and that has to be at the feet of the coaches.

If we keep losing the turnover battle it's gonna be a loooooong season. I knew that barely beating the lowly Riders last week was bad news, but I didn't think we were *this* bad... 

We were that bad......out played...outcoached....and how many times are we going to have to witness Carmichael chasing guys into the end zone with the Roc, for six....Guy is over his head and I really have to wonder about our game plan....defensively and offensively...This club has a lot of work to do to stick with the top teams in the west or we'll be sucking wind along with Corky...Very disappointing.  Now on to the Crown Royal...30,000 left panting at the gate...

Seriously a endzone pick and pick 6 is on the coaches? Give it a rest. 

[bustamente]

Not going far if Nichols plays like tonight, defence still tries to get pressure with the front 4 and it ain't working, don't think anybody will be defending the Roc this week. Only positive was a great crowd

[Goalie]

The Soft D is a huge problem. But thats hall.

Garbage half-time adjustments were on the coaches...  and Lapo/Oshea's 'playing not to lose' strategies are too.

Dickenson threw a garbage challenge flag to save the game for his team...  Osh passed on a 3rd and 2 gamble when there was still a window to win.

This coaching staff is still too passive...  that's concerning.

[Goalie]

This was Calgary. Mitchell hasnt lost in the regular season in 18 or 19 games. 

Not sure but u take away our gimme turnovers including a 3rd and 1 gamble.. This game is closer than most thought it would be. 

The only coach ill throw under the bus is hall for our soft zone D. 

[Tracker]

O'shea and company do not seem to be able to learn from their losses.

[pigseye]

Great second half adjustments by the Stamps, their linebackers really cranked it up while ours became invisible. Still way too many holes to be contenders yet.

[Blueandgold]

The Roc and Hurl can hit the bench immediately. 

Our O-Line has also been dissapointing, Nichols has taken some huge unsuspecting shots. We need to rebound in a big way next week.

Lol. Broken record much? Forget the coaches... Coaches coach players play. Our players werent good. It happens. Stop saying the same thing after every loss. 

[blueandgoldguy]

Walby just mentioned the halftime adjustments being the key to the game.  20-0 in the second half for the Stamps.

[Goalie]

Regarding Carmichael... Guy was a pre season monster playing LB... Hes getting owned playing DB. 

Perhaps put him in Wilds spot now since hes gonna be out a bit. 

[do or die]

All that gin...and for what?

[bustamente]

Probably wont see Wild for a while, they seemed really concerned about his wrist, looked like he rolled over it on the replay, Calgary was missing 3 quality d linemen didn't seem to hurt there game

I dont buy the halftime adjustments crap.. Unless u were in the room... Which none of us or walby were today so really its a cheap bs excuse. Bottom line.. Calgary was just better... We were just bad. 

[do or die]

Crippled.....depleted Stamps beat us on the LOS

[Goalie]

Look 2 far in to things here after losses.. Football is simple.. Score more points and you win.. 

Zero points in the 2nd half... 5 turnovers in total... Soft zone D... These play a bigger role than half time adjustments

20 - 0 in the second half says otherwise.

[Mark F]
