This is unacceptable at any time but certainly when you're hosting the Cup... Pretty hard for Amar to point fingers when most of these questionable moves were probably instigated by him.

It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on! Bombers started 2-6, they aren’t supposed to have a chance to finish first. Still in control of finishing there. Als having looked so hot lately. Sask has been lucky playing teams as they are bottoming out at the end of the season. Bombers can go to Regina and beat the Riders again if they need to. Bigblue204, Mark H. and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyAbonny Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 11 minutes ago, Noeller said: This is a lot of hangover from last night. Let's see what happens in a couple weeks and go from there. Yeah. Pretty hard to see them beating anyone at all after last night. Load up the box to stop the run and send pressure up the middle, Bombers can’t win. It’s a joke. I’d have more faith in the D to steal a championship for us but A: the margin of error is so small with the way the offence is right now B: I don’t have faith in the staff not to make dunderheaded personnel decisions and wipe out that margin entirely.

Honestly it's not like home field has been as much of an advantage this year... Also this offense that people are crying about absolutely obliterated Edmonton a couple weeks ago and looked like their old selves so it's not our of the realm of possibility that they show up again. Maybe they needed a smack in the mouth? Edited October 13 by Noeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that everything’s going to look like last night for the rest of the season. We have the worst pass blocking OL, and the least effective pass rushing DL in the league. Not to mention no way of flipping bad field position because our return game sucks. I just can’t see us beating 3 good teams in a row. Bigblue204 and Super Duper Negatron 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the crazy thing is, with the usual version of Castillo, the Bombers probably win. We sometimes forget that it's a damn tough sport to play. 3 minutes ago, JohnnyAbonny said: I just can’t see us beating 3 good teams in a row. There aren't that many good teams.

I hear you on the bad feelings though and totally get where you’re coming from. The way I see it the last two years they dominated all year and then sucked in the cup.

Toronto and Montreal are both very good football teams. To win the cup, I guess Bombers don’t technically *need* to beat Montreal next week, but they’ll have to beat Sask once more and either play TO or Montreal again (If Ottawa gets to the cup I’ll give you a Buffalo nickel) I’ll concede that they got absolutely pumped by the ticats at home near the end of 2019… It’s not over, I just feel like I’m watching a rerun here.

Doublezero Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 I'll say this - Bombers know what it takes to get to the GC. That's the X Factor. They did not show it vs Toronto this weekend. But they know what it will take. Noeller and BBlink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense only allowed 14 points last night. There's still a lot to like about this team. Take care of business against Montreal and it's then 1 win at home to get to the Grey Cup. If we fudge it up it becomes harder but not unattainable at all. We have some exciting football games ahead of us.

Dodge and Burn Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 We have pilons at guard and a mid tier right tackle at pass protection. We have not matched up well against TO for years...they are the only team that beat us physically. We do whatever we need to get to the show. I like our chances in a dome.

I'm not defending them as an elite unit who just had a bad night, but once the depth charts came out it should've been obvious that the plan was to rotate through a fresh Holley/Brinkman/Williams/etc and blow away whoever was unlucky enough to be opposite them while Flo, Robbie and Captain America run riot. Good game if you like watching defences. Reffing was woeful both ways.

Good game if you like watching defences. Reffing was woeful both ways. The Bombers started to have some success when they went to shorter routes and quicker passes. Then Collaros fumbled while holding on to the ball too long. A fault with Collaros is his propensity to throw deep and hang on to the ball. Should have changed the game plan earlier if not for the whole game. Oline was dreadful and Buck got outcoached. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 We’re running into the same “time to take the horse to the glue factory” issue with Neufeld as we had with banged up Bighill last year. We should be playing the 3 Americans on OL and if we can roster 2 Canadian backups, great. Neufeld’s knee isn’t right, let him sit. Whitehead is clearly banged up, we have two returners and a pile of receivers on PR but we’ll keep running the guy with a groin tear who can’t move out there.

Bigblue204 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 People acting like TO blew them out lol. They scored 1 TD on the defense. 1. After all their great starting field positions. The offense was brutal in the first half and made mistakes in the 2nd to limit their scoring, but let's not pretend like the game was over in the 2nd quarter.
