Jpan85 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 It's a whole different ball game for Dolegala when he is not in front of the home crowd. Riders will at least have one change on the OL. Bombers get up for this game a little more than the LDC in all honesty. Noeller 1
17to85 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 No piped in crowd noise this week either Noeller and JCon 2

Kola threw Oliveira aside at first and Oliveira once again got infront of him, likely helping prevent a retaliation penalty. #53, Neufeld, was running to the refs and pointing his fingers. Watch the replay at 7:49 and tell me I'm wrong. https://www.cfl.ca/2023/09/04/recap-saskatchewan-32-winnipeg-30/ Edited September 6, 2023 by MOBomberFan Corrected timestamp Mark F 1
WinnipegGordo Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Have the Bombers announced they signed new guys to the practice roster? There's a number 13 returning punts. Update: Tait said its Ronnie Blackmon, new WR/KR. Edited September 6, 2023 by WinnipegGordo K-Shack, bearpants, Noeller and 2 others 3 2

There's no hesitation when he catches the ball and he does seem to look for the openings. He did bobble one of the balls. He also just made a nice catch in tight coverage.

GCn20 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Mark F said: Why can an O lineman play every down, and D lineman can’t? Are there any actual studies that have looked at this? they do basically the same thing. pass play d pushes, O stops forward push, run play O pushes. D stops forward push. should t be much difference in energy expended. Two reasons: 1. OL usually outweigh their counterparts particularly on the edges significantly and wear them down just due to the size. 2. DL have to play with speed. There is a crap load more running. Mark F 1

Away game, down a score being put into easy scoring position is never the time to take a penalty. I was watching a montage of the late hits Zach has taken. And a perfect example of a good time to take that kind of penalty and absolutely try to get back at someone was the Simone hit when zach was in SSK. His OLINE should have ripped his head off. Early in the game/season. Every time I hear or see Simone Lawrence I want to puke. I feel this way about very few players. IF I recall correctly, it was Simone that ended Zach's career with the Riders ... most expected he was done for ever. AND nobody I have seen has come back to "Gordie Howe" Robertson after. So I don't buy the discipline thing, Brady Olivera or not. If we really wanted to make a Robertson statement it should have rallied the Bombers that night .... spurred them on with unbelievable smash mouth football for the rest of the game. I do not know if the Blue was gassed by then [they should not have been] but I would rather have lost with smash mouth and not the wimper the team seemed to carry on with... the rest of the game should have been all adrenaline- - win or lose ... we will see if pansies in the rematch ... maybe this can shake up the complacency and the grey cup entitlement mentality ... if not everyone takes care of their pocket book in free agency ... right now we will see if we are a team or not

MOBomberFan Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Just going with the hot hand. That's two wins in a row for the big fella and he did beat the best team in the league (us), they just hope and pray he can do it again infront of a fired up and angry crowd. I have my doubts, I'm sure 30,000+ of us will have something to say about it this weekend Mark F 1
BigBlue Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 5 hours ago, MOBomberFan said: I'd love for you to provide a single example of a football team retaliating against a player that emphasizes your point. Name one instance of a tough guy football team getting their star player messed with, followed by the team retaliating on the field, followed by 'earned respect' or their players otherwise no longer being messed with. Can you do that? I sincerely doubt it. Maybe you'll have to keep referring to an entirely different sport, and a player that retired a quarter-century ago. Over the years I have seen a number of bench clearing brawls on the sports hilite shows .... but I believe they were mainly all college football games ... If we had a bench clearing brawl last Saturday maybe it would have woke a few people up like the league's governors and the zebras ... maybe the smugness would go away and actual change would be engineered by the powers that govern us ... QB & player safety would happen immediately ... fan entertainment and not partisan advantage might take the forefront ... other knuckle dragging things might finally be addressed "a player that retired a quarter-century ago" ... what does age have to do with manliness and being the family/team protector have to do with age? I would rather lose the Grey Cup than see Zach's career end on a cheap shot Dignity is more important than discipline Discipline without dignity is harlotry... And if we had of lost because all 5 of our O-Linemen jumped on Robertson at once, reducing him to an ink spot, this Saturday would have turned into the greatest most anticipated game of all time in Winnipeg history GCn20, JCon, bigg jay and 1 other 1 3
JCon Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Yes, we should definitely encourage these players to become violent and take unnecessary penalties and fines. Genius, pure genius. GCn20, bigg jay, Wideleft and 5 others 2 2 4

JCon Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Maybe we could have had all five of our OL out for Saturday's game, just to show the Riders! Noeller 1

Act like a bunch of college kids. Got it.

I would rather lose the Grey Cup than see Zach's career end on a cheap shot Less to do with age, more to do with era. Surely a pro football team can get past the macho BS of the past millenia and settle this like professionals; on the field, between whistles. Make them pay with their playoff cheques. I will give you this much @BigBlue, if we were up 2 or 3 scores and the game was well in hand, I'd have loved to see someone take that guy down a notch. Thankfully these Bombers are wiser than you or I obviously are.

That's not the way pro sports work anymore. So you're "Long term" gain is to potentially get one of our starters on O suspended, ON TOP of potentially losing our star QB (at that time, no one knew how bad the injury was/wasn't) for a game against a western rival who is still in the hunt for playoff spot? I'm not sure if you're trolling at this point or not, but your points are dumb. You make the kind of points I tell my son complete ******* idiots make. I'm not saying you are either...just that idiots think a lot like you. People who play the game, the way you are suggesting are ******* stupid and usually have a short and mediocre career.

WinnipegGordo Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Lawrence got called for 25 yards for his hit. It doesn't seem like the league calls many of those. Edited September 6, 2023 by WinnipegGordo Fatty Liver, GCJenks, Bigblue204 and 4 others 4 3
