Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders

[Bubba Zanetti]

field position played a huge factor all game. i seemed like they were always starting on their 45ish and we were constantly burried in our end

[Goalie]

It's almost like ppl will blame everyone but the guy who touches the ball on every Offensive play 

Concern has been creeping in with Zach recently.  The interceptions (,another one today). Dudes head ain't in it. Happy feet also

There are no challenges in OT

Show me the rule that says so. That is simply false.

 

You are 100% wrong.

Still think the Riders were awfully lucky - as always - on Labour Day. Refs had put those flags away. 

Luck more or less...and for parts out played us...as it seems we go into games not ready...or half asleep

That's also on coaching...being complacent and going status quo just cause u get some wins...this will happen

Offense has real deficiencies in scheme.  Rely way too much on the big play for the weapons we have.  Get bogged down because forcing the big play, not driving consistently.

I must admit that I think Buck has struggled this year. Thought he was the perfect fit for Collaros but sometimes I fear he exacerbates Collaros' weaknesses, which is where we get bogged down in feast or famine chunk plays.

That didnt help

[White Out]

Special teams was bad, the d created no turnovers, and Zach was garbage for 3 qaurters. 

And they needed a bad call in ot to win bye a deuce. 

 

**** the riders 

[Goalie]

That's what happens when u have 6 completions at half time I guess.

Was the opposite until the Jones play over Houston first 20 minutes of game.  But we never took advantage of it.  O could hardly get a first down, didn't even get 3 on the board.

Thats the part that drives me bonkers. The complacency......or so it seems.

Once your challenges are gone they are gone. You don't get new challenge flags in ot.

What does foxtrot care. His last game so no consequences 

What does Foxcroft have to do with a game he didn't have a part in?  He's in Hamilton getting ready for tomorrow's game.

Ben Major was the f**k up for this game.

[Bubba Zanetti]

defense as a whole was not good. way too many missed tackles and next to zero pressure. was jefferson playing???

I think we just didn't show up soon enough...and some bad coaching decisions...and non challenges...plus...no team runs 6 dlineman.... especially 2 of whom are sub par....can argue it all u want but that's 2 games now where a loss was a direct result of it...plain and simple

True we did not have sufficient pressure to disrupt Doladinga. Plus why not challenge that sideline pass to Schoen. In first half I mean. It feels like our coach saves his challenge flags… But for what?

Did the Bombers challenge anything tonight? I don’t recall such an instance, but I may be wrong.

Listen I promise I have read the points that you have repeatedly mentioned for many weeks, but this is nonsense. Osh has constantly preached about starting a new week, moving on, etc. This is the best team in the league. That's not complacency, that's consistency.

Funny enough today he made some roster changes and I don't think they were useful today. Parker was brutal.

Complacency and undying loyalty to players...is the slow spiral to losses and overall regression

Collaros calling out league and PA for the QB headshots.

We have absolutely no return game. Some of you here could run the ball back better than Parker. 

[Goalie]

Team isn't good enough to make up for the roster management problems. 

Seems like we handicap ourselves every game recently. Slow starters is a sign of not being prepared and that's on coaches and players.  I fear some guys might be a bit to comfortable 

[Bubba Zanetti]

not to mention the seemingly never ending string of 2nd and 7-10 yards they converted at will. it seemed like 1000

Thought suitor called this guy foxtrot

[voodoochylde]

Good game by the Riders.

I’m angry we lost.  I’m angry because we’ve looked like this several times this year.  

This is what happens when you stubbornly refuse to make roster adjustments.  Protection.  Pressure.  Special Teams.  All exposed today.

O’Shea is a great coach.  This wasn’t a well coached game.

So you’re saying even if you don’t use your challenges during the regular game time, they don’t carry over to overtime?
