Just a dearth of playmakers on D for us now.  Probably the worst group in terms of turning the ball over that we've had in the Richie Hall era.  

5 starters/projected starts down in D will vert rarely work out well.

Tell me this isn't the Bomber team we've come to know....They are stinking the joint out....Making Hamilton look like Cup contenders and we look like the pretenders....I haven't seen this club play that badly in years....Better make it closer in the second half or we are leaving there EMBARASSED with asses dragging

In a perfect world I'd say the season is long and inspiration can be hard to find every week, but the D has come very concerning and will need to be fixed. We can't just keep giving teams free easy short passes(and now long bombs today also).

Thinking about the bye week again 

[Stickem]

Let the DB situation fester too long.....UGLY

Yeah but he never had an outlet. You're a quick read guy when you have 2 defenders running free at you lol

And that’s a problem I have - ticats clearly blitzing and there’s no outlet route.

 

there are some play calling and defensive reading issues right now.

To put this game in perspective, old timers here may remember. I can remember the Bombers laying more than one big licking on those juggernaut Eskimo teams in the early 80's at home. Wins by 3 or more TD's. Dominating the Esks on the field. Bomber fans loved it. Edmonton looked like ****, too. Come playoff time we had to play them at CWS & we lost everytime. One bad regular season game. Means nothing in the grand scheme of things. I don't like it but we should be snarly when the Stamps come to town next week.

Where the f is our d line with any pressure?

Let's put a bubble around collaros. Switch him out until we figure this out. Hit too many times.

Our dbs need to wrap up these receivers! Only guy I haven't seen beat so far is BA and Holm. Long list of beat guys

 

[AB BomberFan]

Hard to believe Dane Evans looking like a superstar against us. Would be amazing to get a few stops defensively and get some points on offense to stop the bleeding.

[JuranBoldenRules]

Toronto and Hamilton in this era seem to be the places we're the most prone to let down games.

[SpeedFlex27]

D i c k Thornton was a beast.

I hope the defence goes back to bending.  This breaking is killing us.

[BagBlieBulls]

Guess the boys had some fun in Toronto last night. Hopefully serves as a good lesson to save the partying to AFTER the game

For pressure to manifest you need to not leave receivers wide open

No one comes to town next week and we don't play the Stamps again until maybe playoffs.

Evans having far too much time to throw isnt helping 

[Goalie]

Last time going in to a bye we lost also. Gotta be guys thinking ahead 2 much.  But more likely the injuries on D are killing us. 

[Stickem]

No pressure up front by the Jeffs.....Letting Evans deliver the ball at will is costing us bigtime...C'mon Bombers ...where's the pride

This is a great point and it's true, many good teams have games like this in a season. I just wish it wasn't coming against a team with the absolute worst record(who WAS predicted to win the East by many, albeit).

What a poor presentation on Thorntons career....He was mostly a Bomber not an Argo.....Piss poor tsn

[Slimy Sculpin]

Well, that was an embarrassing first half. The Bomber D was nowhere to be seen. (Certainly the Ti-Cats receivers couldn't see them as they were playing so far off.) Parker got picked on so many times that towards the end he was giving less than a half-hearted effort. As for Rose...What the heck was he doing on the TD where he got burned more than I would have? Gauthier as a regular LB, even rotating, is not going to work. Sure his long locks look great when he's in the pursuit mode (all the time) but he's a special teamer at best. And we're not good enough in the middle of that D-line. Run stopping is a problem, too. I'm hoping that adjustments are made at the half to at least get a few stops. Otherwise it could be 50, maybe 60. Will the Ti-Cats run up the score? I would. And, I thought the O, except for a couple of plays, looked OK. End of rant. I'm tempted to not return for the second half......but I will.

 

Go Blue!

Especially going into a bye. Even just the east.

Okay Riders. The Bombers will be pissed off.
