BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS at Argos GDT

[wbbfan]

Offense is missing demski desjarlais Harris and couture. We still haven’t filled drew’s or andrews spot sufficiently. 
 

im not too worried because we have the qb and the tackles. 
 

defense is missing lots too. Injuries are a real adversity this year. 

[Brandon]

My one wish for now on: No more screen passes. For the love of god I think I've seen us over the last three years attempt them 50 times without ever getting more then 4 yards.

Can we do more creative plays like the one with Grant where he nearly broke it for a TD?

At the tailgate. Lots of people pissed that we didn't go for 2.

I am telling them that in all fairness, we oughtn't have been within 2 points. The Football Gods are cruel. Sometimes they are fair.

See you next time.

Good to see you, Bluto. Don’t be a stranger.

Ok someone needs to explain how Buck ended up with Gary Crowton’s 2013 playbook in the booth…

The words Gary Crowton makes my skin crawl.

Those non-contact injuries are never good. 

I told the girlfriend the same thing,uses the Darian Durant example,drops back and then just drops to the turf without contact. I hope he tweaked something or twisted an ankle or knee but fearing the worst.

Toronto wasn't great tho. I mean they had some help. Let's be real, the command center makes the right call and none of this is really talked about. I think you can argue the refs and command center made the game closer than it should have been. 

Bombers were more consistent through all 4 quarters. Argos no showed the first and were fighting amongst themselves 

Our o certainly needs to be better tho

That TD was sure questionable. But full marks to the Argos for making the Bombers look super beatable like they usually do.

I can't remember the last time the Bombers rolled into Toronto and managed a convincing victory. 2018?

[Bubba Zanetti]

I find our offense offensive.

I thought for sure that you would've gone for 2.

I am too. I'm a Twitter doctor but I can't provide a diagnosis on this thread.

Toronto was horrible. They consistently gave us the ball. Over and over and over.

We should have had 40+ points tonight.

The fact that we couldn’t score and they were able to cobble together that come back is embarrassing.

[Mr. Perfect]

It's admittedly, much, much easier to say this after a win - but I have full faith that both Walters and O'Shea are keenly aware of what the issues on this team are, and will have the team ready and firing come the stretch run in the fall.

This. The fact that the offense wasn't able to take advantage of numerous turnovers is why the game went to the wire. Even another major score would've iced this game a lot sooner, instead of having to rely on a tired defense to close it out. Or in this case, a kicker missing a convert.

Yes and no.

Yes they’re aware, but a lot of the aspects of “fixing it” are out of our control.

[ddanger]

We have big issues on offence. This game was a classic " offence can't stay on the field" and " defence can't get off".

Trying to replace 5 guys from offence isn't easy and clearly we have some work to do, especially on the O'line. I'd sure love to see the film in the O'line room.  I'm worried that Yoshi is going to be unable to play in BC and I sure hope I'm wrong.

Plus the Argos were fighting one another on the sidelines. Just a L organization.  The Principal Pinball Clemons had to come down from the press box & sit in on the class their teacher Dinwiddie lost. Just like back in Grade 7. There's a reason why Hamilton got rid of Banks. We saw it tonight. Just a cancer of a player. Toxic.

I'd rather have him healthy than playing at 60% Or worse. If he needs to sit for awhile then so be it.

How? We're 4 games into the season. The Pats could very easily cut Drew, we could very easily add or trade for an import, speedy receiver - which are a dime a dozen. BA is coming back too.

Yeah today was ugly and I was yelling at my TV like anyone, but holy hell give our coaches and management their due and trust them to fix it. They aren't idiots.

[Dr Zaius]

tough game but whatever, won it. Suck it losers who're trying to diminish the dub. No one's gonna remember this or give a **** after week 18. 

1-0 this week. Mission complete. Movin' on

We have no running game, un inspiring play calling, and play designs, and as good as I believe our receiving core is we don’t have that real burner to stretch the field on that home run ball play. Definitely concerning.

I do trust them and obviously don’t think they’re idiots.

But the Pats cutting or keeping Drew is out of our control, BA’s health is out of our control, Chris Streveler choosing to return to the CFL is out of our control, etc.

I have faith that they’ll make good decisions when presented options, but we can’t force certain things to be available to us

Is the problem on offense being the new players or maybe we should be looking at Buck more so?

Like I said above... the screen pass is such a vanilla never works play and it feels like at times the team just plays it a bit safe.  It would be nice if they were to attack deep a bit more often,  they had the protection tonight to do it.

Also... we need more intensity on both sides.   Also calling Jeffcoat and Jefferson?  Where are you guys?

What the actual **** was with all of the screen plays?

Why is Zach even listening to Buck if that’s what’s being called in?

What gets me are the posts wanting Buck outta here. Like, really??? C'mon to all those wanting him gone. Give your heads a shake.

The Jeffs spent a lot of the game in the non-called and enduring embrace of TO’s oline

I think Buck shelves a bunch of what they tried tonight.  If he starts repeatedly saying “we’re on the cusp” then I trust they will terminate immediately
