If he's signed at all it's as temp. help till the end of the season, it's now a game of Walters negotiating "how low will you go to extend your football career?" Season is ticking by & with it the playoffs. Now, Woli is injured & it's just another day at the office for the Bombers. No sense of urgency from our team. Next Man Up!! Even if they aren't good enough to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 This game marks the half way point of our season. We have back to backs with B.C. ssk and edm. If we split those series that makes us 5-9 with 4 games to go. 2 games vs ham 1 vs tor and Mtl. So if we split the back to back and win out the rest of the way we make the play offs. Any thing less than that, short of Calgary losing out, would likely have us miss the play offs. We also have all 3 byes and mos teams tend to struggle off a bye. We also have 5 games left on the road where we haven’t won a game all year. All 3 of our bye weeks lead to road games as well. One of those bye week into road games is right in the middle of the last two games of the year which aren’t back to backs. We need to be stealing wins immediately. If we get swept in one of the home and away back to backs that all but mathematically ends our season. meanwhile we are burning weeks of opportunity to change over long in the tooth positions (c, qb, dt, mlb, s.) we can swap out maybe two of those in camp next year and expect to contend but not likely more than that. Not only does our season hang in the immediate balance, our shot at winning the ship at home next year does too.

We won't split with BC. we could split with Sask but we've dominated that team over the past 5 years that I think the pendulum has swung in their direction & they'll dominate us. I can't see this team winning more than 2 or 3 games. This is snowballing out of control but Walters & O'Shea don't seem to be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they can still make the playoffs, ect, sure. I can’t see it this season. They just had 2 gimme games against backup QBs to get back in the hunt and couldn’t get it done. If the only change coming is Lawler, I don’t see that alone as enough. Can’t see them beating BC once right now, let alone twice. Won’t win on Labour Day, maybe the Banjo Bowl. I don’t think this team beats Hamilton either right now. Christ, they’d be in tough against Edmonton. Delete all this if they use the bye week to revamp the offence and the middle of the D. Until that happens it’s going to be more of the same crap. Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BomberBall. Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 I’m guessing Randolph starting at G is so Wallace and Eli can stick with their sub packages and short yardage situations, which they are obviously familiar with. wbbfan and ddanger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote A Club must start at least eight Nationals, however one of these Nationals may be a Nationalized American. Prior to the game, each Club must identify how many National starters will be playing on offence and defence and that number cannot be deviated from. https://www.cfl.ca/game-rule-ratio bb1, Blue-urns, Bigblue204 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 Kendall Randolph is a pretty interesting guy. Played for Alabama for 4 years but mostly as tight end and 6th OL. He made 2 starts at left guard in his senior season then went to camp with the Seahawks and got into 3 preseason games at Guard before being released. Seems like a high-ceiling guy but not a lot of experience, we'll see how he looks in prime time.

I'm telling myself that at any rate). A complete aside, I can't remember the last time we were absolutely decimated by injuries like this. If we somehow manage to turn things around over the back half of the year it'll be a testament to this team's perseverance. blueingreenland, ddanger, JohnnyAbonny and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m happy they’ve finally realized neuf is toast and made a change. Overall it’s a much improved roster. Kelly listed as hb instead of S is strange. I’m glad he’s healthy and back on the roster.
