Game Day Thread- Week Fifteen, GAME 13: Als @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers September 2, 2018

[JuranBoldenRules]

We might need some punt singles for offense.

Almost another beauty of a punt from Medlock

Medlock is this team now

Garbage O series -  ugh

Good thing we have that insurmountable 14 point lead against such an (im)potent Als offense.

Guys like George Reed, Blake Marshall & Jim  Evenson back in the day would have 25-35 carries in a game & be in their 30"s. They had no problem being every down players at their old age. 

I’m not educated on what happened in the 60s and 70s so I can’t speak to that but few elite backs can handle a full load at this point in their career. 

[AKAChip]

Lafrance is extremely lucky he had that one good game that gave him a career. 

[bustamente]

D should pitch in with a score eventually

Marshall was the 90's. What a freaking load he was. He weighed 240 lbs & just ran straight ahead. 

[Floyd]

Pipkin should have been given another chance

team is a bit confused with manziel 

[JuranBoldenRules]

That throw was only possible because of a huge hold on Thomas.

[Floyd]

Manziel has an arm I’ll say that

[AKAChip]

I’ll give Manziel credit that he can get out of the pocket and give his receivers time to get open. Nichols does not have that skill. 

[Floyd]

Bighill can really read a play

George Reed average 15 carries a game for his career and 1.44 catches per game.

Did you walk to school uphill both ways too?

Lot of hard miles early in the year.

We really should have 2 back offenses in the CFL.  Everyone runs a single back system & backs get hurt. It affects just about every team. 

[Floyd]

Manziel is going tomorrow kill that team - too much attitude without any payoff...  let’s trade for pipkin -

Unfortunately, roster size isn’t conducive to that.

The guy with 1 TD and 8 INTs? I’ll pass, thanks. 

[Floyd]

Going for it on your own ten yard line?????

[Floyd]

Harris injury exposing Nichols

[JuranBoldenRules]

Another game with no Lapo adjustments and D adjustments killing our O.

Can't run the same 4 plays all night.

[Floyd]

Osh throws flag to protect Nichols

[AKAChip]

The Eskimoes and other good teams get more creative as the game goes on. LaPo gets less.

Our run plays are real easy to read and Stubler is just throwing a run blitz at the play side tackle.  Bryant or Hardrick aren't going to block 3 guys.  No lead blocks, no ability to get off tackle = a loss every time.

[Floyd]

Pathetic challenge - scary.
