Game Day Thread: vs Calgary Stampeders-- Friday, July 1st CANADA DAY EDITION

[Fatty Liver]

Yipee!!  Two great plays in a row!  Hope they can make it three.

[Root]

Nice block and clumsy but effective runback - almost a TD. A & W Drive-in - Andrew & Drew

[Root]

Way to go Matty Ice!

[M.O.A.B.]

Where are those Macho Harris critics.

Willy can't do anything behind this o line. 

[IC Khari]

Put Nichols in and wed'll see if it's just the Oline.

[White Out]

On pace for 100 passing yards. 

Can we try Nichols please? 

[IC Khari]

Is it too early to talk about firing our OC?

[sportmentary2012]

I'm not sure he was ever the answer  but then again the blue have been looking for answers since they let Kevin Glenn go and decided Mike Kelly was head coach material

Is it to early to back the truck up

[KptKrunch]

Oh that last play why didn't they just kick a field goal

 

[Bubba Zanetti]

Lol, unreal. What a s**t show.

[Stickem]

What a sad bunch of crap that the Bomber faithful have to witness in the first half.... Corneys sack was great otherwise ...No offence no defence ... coaches are very suspect....Shake the hell out of this team and put Nichols in...What a bloody disgrace.

Symptomatic of the O'Shea era thus far 

[Bubba Zanetti]

Nichols please.

[Goalie]

Willy has no clock awareness. I don't blame O'shea there at all. Willy held the ball for 5 seconds then dumped it off 

[bustamente]

2nd game of the season and you can see this team is not better than last year's team no even a tiny bit.

[Goalie]

Willy is 7 of 11 for 111 yards. I'd say the D is the bigger issue right now. Our D plays so soft. Stamps just marching at will against them. O isn't great but the D is just bad 

[Fatty Liver]

This is just not going to go down well, Willy does not handle pressure well and the focus on his performance is going to be intense this season.

But half of those yards came in the last 45 seconds with Calgary playing 20 yards off the ball. 9 minutes of possession is terrible and thats on the O,

I don't think Willy is playing that bad - he's a lot better that what I saw of him last week that's for sure. But if Calgary wakes up this could be a blowout

[Goalie]

It's partially on the D cuz they can't stop Calgary.  

[BomberDynasty]

Its safe to say that this is a very bad football team, not just a team that needs a little time to gel.

This season could easily become Reinboldesque or even worse. I predicted 3 wins and from what I'm seeing now I doubt that will be possible.

All the concerns mentioned last week are valid:

- Worst OLine in pro sports

- Inaccruate and shell-shocked QB

- No speed in receiving corps when compared to other teams

- A soft secondary that can't cover tight and consistently makes huge mental erros

- A linebacking corps that is slow and not physical enough

- A DLine that is not strong enough and gets pushed around

All in all, given the shoddy management and coaching on this team none of this is a surprise.

But don't worry positrons, they'll make it close in Garbage Time. This is a Garbage Club perfectly suited to Garbage Time

Agreed our D is too soft and Oline is still horrible. Our receivers aren't catching anything either.
