Plop must be breathing into a brown paper bag right now. Over loaded with excitement at what can be done. Stretch the field side line to side line, break Ds with runs up the gut, stretch the ball down field, catch and run guys this offense is filthy. Depth at qb to boot. On paper this offense rivals the best weve put together in a hell of a long time. 

and we're still going to see them throwing for 6 yards when they need 8.

Soo true lol. But with the ability we have (on paper) to spread the field in all directions that can actually be successful. Id still rather see more of those routes be slants / short inside post/corners that get the ball into the hands of the WR with out breaking stride. The esks with ray et al used to be masters of seam buster routes like that.

...and Bowman perhaps reaching the sticks.

With Roh & Fenner on D with the additions we have offensively I'd say we won. If we sign Muamba  then call it a Grand Slam home run!

the PLOP formula is required yards/2 = play call yards. So when we need 8 he'll actually call a 4 yard play not a 6 yard play.

We were the highest scoring offense in the CFL last year. Or do you two have something else to ***** about?

Expecting receivers to gain yards after catching the ball is unfair and not part of their job description.  Throwing passes on the near side of the yardage marker is something no other team in football does.

And no other team on second and long weighs the odds of the possibility of a turnover vs. punting the ball away.  The Bombers need to stop this silly practice immediately, or the drought will continue.

That's smart football. They won I think every game where they won the turn over battle.

17to85, do you remember 2013, 2014, 15 on offense? Quit whining. Enjoy winning instead.

Obviously it's not a big deal if the receivers come up short on 2nd down - we'll just call a fake on 3rd down!

Here's an early analysis. Brodie Lawson shows that she's more than just a pretty face:

whoever snares her in matrimony is a lucky man.

Id take any of the big 3 mlbers available. Any of them would be such a gigantic upgrade for us, it wouldnt be funny. Muambas familiarity with the city and pass port would make him the highest on the list though.

I dont think we did, but winning the turn over battle is a huge advantage in the game. If you win the TOP and turn overs you wil a hell of a lot of games. 2nd and long plays that are short of the first down can also make a big difference in an on going battle of field position. If its 2nd and 20 and you pick up 10 yards and punt, that makes a noticeable difference in the game when you are trading field goals or each threatening to drive into FG range regularly. Gotta keep em honest for sure, but its one part of our offense im in strong agreement with.
