For better or for worse, they won't make any drastic changes unless there's an extended losing streak...

Is Dinwiddie OK? He looks awful.

I’ll say it: Bo throws better ball than Zach at this stage of their respective careers. Also .. Lawler is a better receiver than anyone on our current roster.

Nope. Walters has exceeded the cap 2 of the last three seasons so he spends just as much, if not more, than most teams. How and where he chooses to spend, seems to be the bigger issue.

There's nothing wrong with this team that isn't easily fixed. They got veteran options at receiver, they have 2 qbs they can feel comfortable playing, they have bodies who seemed decent in preseason on the defensive line.... they have options, all they need to do is ditch the complacency and make some hard choices with the roster and sit your old boys down if they're not getting it done.

I noted the lack of vertical shots as well, but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that collaros wasn't ever comfortable in the pocket.

I had to create a topic just to reiterate how much I hate this embarrassing AI slop TSN is using in their promos.

Have to think they took the Nik money and offered same but shorter term to Boeser.

I don’t know if he’s cheap like Ballard was, but you’re not wrong about this offseason and the previous one as well. Scouting (or who we chose to keep after TC) and free agency have been abysmal.

Osh keeps playing Jake & the defensive performances of others slid when Thomas is on the field. We need some true DE's to spell Vaughters & Jefferson & some real push from the middle to collapse the opposition pocket & create problems. Jake is so out of his league, it is hilarious but as fans watching, it's truly not. I wouldn't be blaming those 2 for subpar performances. I'd blame our DC & HC.

They never challenged the field vertically at all last night. Even when it was 37-9 Stamps, we still were dinkng & dunking. I mean, the Stamps secondary is improvd from last year from the looks of things but they're not THAT GOOD. I think Zach's longest throw was 22 yards. That shows you just how bad our 9th ranked receiving corps are. Wheatfall is our lone deep threat & he was invisible. It didn't have to be that way but suddenly this past off season, Walters is a penny pinching GM like former Maple Leaf owner Harold Ballard was. We're hosting the GC ffs, why would they pick this year for financial restraint? The fans have supported this team now for 4 years giving the Bombers profits like they have never seen before. They deserve a lot better & didn't get it this past off season.

So on defence, neither Vaughters or WJ have looked good. Would they look better if we added a young pass rusher to rotate or do we need to replace one or both? Bridges has struggled, do we replace him? Jake is awful. Will we bench him? As for the offense, what do you do about Zach? Better game plan? More Streveler mixed in? Is it worth putting in Mitchell to see if he sparks the offense? Bring back a bigger receiver like White?

At the very least, they need to stop pretending Jake Thomas is prime Doug brown and have the chat with him. Perhaps have the chat with Willie also who seems to do lots of nothing out there. Get the old men some backups at the very least. Stop dressing 13 linebackers. And every time Zach throws a rookie interception, he should be benched as Streveler appears more capable at this point.

Last seen on FBI: Most Wanted. I wonder if his cancer was the reason he left? Very sad. RIP.

The only spot Parker has looked really good at is SAM. If he's 15 yards downfield he's treading water and struggling with reads. Corner he'd probably have to think less too and maybe could play a bit faster. I'd like to get a look at Allen. Someone a little more rangy who can also cover man all over the field which is necessary in the match coverages. Also, call Russ Dandy back. We need some oomph at corner. Both corners have eaten **** so far this season. Get some guys who will play the ball.

Whether this lot is allowed to stumble through the rest of the season essentially intact or a mid-season overhaul is induced, the outcome would seem to be about the same- get into the playoffs mostly by default and then flatline. Pick yer misery.

Collaros did not lose us the game, but he did not look like an all-star QB which he is well=paid to be, and he definitely did not lead the tram by example. As regards Wee Willie, he has been effectively when the rest of the D-line and linebackers are occupying the opposing blockers and leaving in one-on-one with a mediocre O-lineman. He does not seem to have the athleticism or drive of two years ago and the Bombers have to assess whether that is good enough or if a great play once or twice a d=games is enough for the salary he commands.

For sure. It drives us fans bananas…. Think of how it feels for the players that know they are better, yet continue to take a back seat to guys that are clearly inferior. Maddening.

Well, this is what happens when you're the most successful franchise in the CFL but for some reason don't want to spend to th cap limit & blame the $400,000 shortfall on the CFLPA. The Bombers looked awful last night. I haven't seen such a putrid performance since the mid teens. Osh just seems in a cloud half the time. He refuses to use the new rules for Nationalized Americans to Canadians as he doesn't want to take the time to figure out the reps. He's designated the worst starting Canadian as our starting NG in a 3 man front or at RDT in a four man. Jake gets stood up, pushed back, turned inside & outside, can't see the play coming in his stance as he actually does hold his head up as it flops down. Otherwise he'd see the manufacturers tags in his chest plate of his shoulder pads. He still can't see. No moves just a straight bull rush. Yet, he starts at the expense of younger & more effective players. What's scary is Osh has some kind of warped coaches code that says he'll start him as long as he wants to play. So then, in 2036 at age 48, in he goes as the starter on his twinkletoes. Bridges was having trouble covering last night at his corner spot. If anyone says we don't miss Tyrell Ford at corner then they're lying. Two huge coverage busts in the secondary. Last week we had one as well but we got away with it. This time we paid dearly. That has to be cleaned up. But how do you clean up the secondary when the DL is a clusterfuck with Thomas in there? I was concerned letting Lawler go & keeping Schoen who really is still recovering from a bad knee injury. IF Schoen doesn't last the season, we're in huge trouble. We play Stearns but I don't get the reasoning as he really is a "nothing" receiver. Right now, we're the ninth best receiving corps in the CFL. Cl;ercius is allowed to shine but he's a posession receiver. We have one deep threat in Keric Wheatfall. Demski is still capable of making big plays but he isn't the same receiver he was 2-3 years ago. I was also concerned that Osh would do stupid Osh things with Streveler. And sure enough he never let me down. Streveler shows he can actually play qb in the CFL & when we're down in the 4th quarter & the game was out of reach last night, does he play Strev to give the guy some reps? Nope. Osh keeps Zach in the game. No doubt, Osh will say, "I never took Zach out as he gave us the best chance to win". Our head coach is dumber than a sack of jackhammers.

Thanks for the sports update Mike, let's head over to Heather on what's up for the weather this weekend. 🙂

O’Shea sucked, Zach sucked, Jake sucked, Willie sucked, Vaughters sucked, Parker sucked, Bridges sucked, Bonds sucked go us
