Waste of a down. To be fair anytime we get in the red zone and pass everyone on here screams about how dumb buck is for not using Brady

Brandon Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 (edited) I finally watched the game... I don't think I've ever seen a Blue Bomber game where the d-line had such little to absolutely no pressure on the QB. Willie was double teamed all night, outside of the one Garbutt sack I can't think of any play where any one hurried Fajardo/Alexander or had a hand in his face or anything. That is not going to cut it come play off time. Very concerning. The whole game I was waiting for someone to do something or to make a play or cause some sort of disruption. Outside of the first series with the BS non interception call... that D did absolutely nothing at all. Fajardo after the first 2 series went what 16/17 and Alexander was 9/10 at one point.... yikes. Glad we won but this is the weakest team that we've entered the play offs in during our latest run. Edited October 28 by Brandon ddanger and Noeller 2

As an elite running team you may have occasional success against a loaded box, but for the most part they are giving you the pass to stop the run and any OC with half a noodle in his head is going to call the game that way. BO wasn't running a lot because Montreal loaded up the box and dared us to beat them with passing on a windy and cold day. If I am going to pick apart any part of Buck's play calling it wouldn't be his lack of using BO, it would be for not taking a few deep shots earlier or using some sweeps and throws to the flats in the game to open up the run by forcing Montreal to abandon the D game plan of loading the box. For BO to get touches yesterday we needed to force the defence to spread out and we didn't do that until the 3rd Q. Edited October 28 by GCn20 Zach Schnitzer, Mark H., Bigblue204 and 1 other 1 3

Slimy Sculpin Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 Getting back to the game this past Saturday. That was more than a butt-clencher. In fact, I had given up hope. I'm glad the Bombers won but even as a non-football guy, I have to seriously question some of the coaching decisions. The one that was the biggest head-scratcher for me was playing Schmekel and Thomas at the same time. I didn't count the number of times that they had them out there together but the two times that I noticed, they were totally "swatted away" by Montreal's O-line resulting in big plays for the Alouettes. I'm hoping that when watching the video, the coaches will come to their senses and have a Eureka moment....."Maybe we shouldn't have these guys out there together." BigBlueFanatic and ddanger 1 1

Considering most teams run 1 decent sized lber max, the rb is basically 1on1 with a db sized player in a good 3 gaps. Which is a battle you expect a good rb to win more often than not. Run schemes today often seek to steal back a body too. That’s why teams run read plays, boot the qb, use jet motion, or what some teams are doing is motioning two guys in jet, then returning one to force defenders to spread out creating seams and gaps inside. 10 hours ago, brett_c_b said: To be fair anytime we get in the red zone and pass everyone on here screams about how dumb buck is for not using Brady When we pass twice and don’t pa, or semi frequently go empty back field. If we ran once with Brady, then threw an iso fade to some one like lawler and did that on every single red zone series we would have a drastically higher success rate. The problem is we often throw twice, don’t threat the run, and don’t throw into the end zone. We throw a screen or short pass and expect the wr to do the rest.

JohnnyAbonny Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 Gotta remember Montreal has by far the best OL in the league this year, and their RBs are pretty damn good in pass pro. I believe it was Fletcher who just embarrassed Kramdi when the latter came through through on a blitz in the 4th. We haven’t been getting much pressure on any other teams either though I guess..need an actual legit Rush End next year. I know they’ve had some success with a 3 man front but when other teams figure it out in-game, Bombers need to be able to switch to a 40 on the fly. Tracker and Zach Schnitzer 2
