USABomberfan Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Just to not start an overreaction, I know this is part of the CFL. We had a big road win last week and unfortunately after so many games when things go right, you often have one that goes wrong, and such was tonight. But having said that, RichiHall's chickens have come home to roost again. This D has to be able to step up and get turnovers at some point, and his refusal to call blitzes is preventing them from doing that. And Ryan Lankford ... I don't have any issues with him returning kicks, but his play as a wideout has been awful. Killing our offense when he's in there. Dom Davis sure didn't tear it up but our guys were making his numbers worse with the drops. I think we can still get home field for the WSF, but it doesn't look like we're ready to knock off Calgary yet. Edited November 13, 2017 by USABomberfan rebusrankin, James and Logan007 3
Bubba Zanetti Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I agree but 10-4 teams just dont make big changes mid-season even though Hall's defense is a ******* joke. Best we can hope for is an offseason change. Edited October 7, 2017 by Bubba Zanetti . Logan007, rebusrankin, blue_gold_84 and 1 other 2 2

Best we can hope for is an offseason change. It ain't midseason, I'm talking about what we do in the playoffs, and if we are 1 and done or don't beat CGY, I'm completely putting the blame on Hall.
Bubba Zanetti Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 We just have to hope that MOS sits down with Hall and helps him remove his head from his ass
JuranBoldenRules Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Lankford needs to be off the roster now. He brings nothing, in fact often has a negative impact and our roster desperately needs that import spot on the DL if the other option is an unproductive receiver/returner. Either promote one of the PR receivers or get Nevis back on the roster. Dr. Blue, Goalie, Floyd and 2 others 4 1

USABomberfan Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) And while I think the coaching staff has done mostly good on player selection, I'm gonna say doodoo on releasing Thorpe and keeping Lankford. Lankford is Roc Carmichael on offense. Edited October 7, 2017 by USABomberfan
Nolby Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Thorpe, I've been saying it for a long time now. We need this guy.
Bubba Zanetti Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Thorpe quit on the team. Cant keep a guy like that around. Goalie, blue_gold_84, Logan007 and 4 others 7

Maybe true but not much better when you got a receiver running piss poor routes as bad as Carmichael in coverage, or even quitting on them for that matter and causing an interception.

Tracker Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 There were a few blitzes by the Bombers, but they were ineffective. Hurl would charge at the opposing lineman, take two steps and halt to watch the play move away from him. blitzmore 1
Goalie Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Why are we ignoring Lapo and his play calling? Totally ignoring our RB. Its october. Its windy. Its chilly .. Lets not run the ball. Bubba Zanetti and blue_gold_84 2
blueandgoldguy Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 13 minutes ago, White Out said: are you even reading what hes writing man? hes saying IF WE DONT make the grey cup The Bombers could win the semi-final and lose the division final and I bet Hall would be back. They would look at it as progress by the team even if the D gives up a tonne of yards.
Goalie Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Hall is gone off season. 8th ranked D. Hes done. When Bob Irving calls you Soft... Youre done. Edited October 7, 2017 by Goalie Logan007 1
Brandon Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Hall is definitely gone in the off season, I don't see any reason why they would bring the guy back? The defense is way to passive with all that talent. Lankford... well he did no favours for himself tonight. Bring in the next guy who wont' give away an easy int like he did late in the 2nd.

Goalie Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Yeah. Freaking out.. For sure. Im definitely Not the one freaking out.. I find it ironic that someone says im freaking out in a topic where the title of said topic is longer than any response to it so far. Mr Dee and Logan007 2

Its chilly .. Lets not run the ball. Because while tonight was a bad day at the office in that department, they've been primarily what's carried this team. Add in Nichols's throwing hand injury and all those drops and that's the result. Richie Hall on the other hand has been having these problems all year long and has even had his butt bailed out by the O. His defenses have been soft for a while. He got kicked out of Regina for putting shitty defenses on the field, and he's repeating it here. Logan007 and SpeedFlex27 1 1
Goalie Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 We all know that tho. I just dont really see the need to mention it after every loss.
The Unknown Poster Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 The bigger question is, if we accept Hall is done after this, a successful season, what possessed MOS to keep him after last season? Hall is exactly what you expect from him. Davis looked like nothing tonight. How many years as he been here?
