There were so many vital mistakes, mistakes a team should not be making in it's 5th game. D-line coming clean through the A gap against us, Holm covering two receivers with no help, Bridges stopping and letting his guy blow by him, Forced balls from QB's, receivers falling down, selfish penalties, apparent lack of energy......... Even with all that our offence while bad almost had enough to take the lead in the second half.....I really like Strev but that pick was the end of the offence last night...all the wind came outta the sails right then....on offence we had our top OL out, our top receiver out, and lost our top QB early......at least one can make an excuse for them...the defence though....all healthy...and all terrible....I can't name one defensive player from last night worth praising.....not one.....at least on offence you can say Demski and Brady played damn good, on specials Castillo played damn good, our coverage was good, and Vaval and Case looked capable at returns....that's it, maybe the long snapper.....even the whole energy and aura looked bad last night.....it ruined what something like a 17 game win streak after the bye......yuck

As long as Rourke is playing against Edmonton he’s pretty good

It’s showings like this that cost the club A LOT of good will.

24 TD passes, 21 Ints, the past two seasons for Zach. Walters should not have extended him before this season.

Imo the db made a great break closed quick with our receiver lacking situational awareness but Strev gotta show more patience and eat the ball and live to play another down. 20 20 hindsight I know.

The OL was beaten like a rented mule all night. Both qbs took a **** kicking. Not gonna do a lot of winning when losing the los

Even the INT he threw in the third wasn’t a terrible decision but, if he makes that throw he has to miss outside and not make it easier for the DB driving on the ball. Strev puts it on the pylon or if the WR works back a bit more, that interception doesn’t happen. I’m also not going to discount the fact that Greene made on helluva play and sometimes **** like that happens. Yesterday was an uphill battle for whomever was in at QB. Too much juggling on the offensive line and a receiving corps that lacks a legitimate difference maker. Even Collaros started to just zero in on Demski (who, for as much as I love the guy, isn’t striking fear into anyone). It was clear from the outset that Calgary had ZERO respect for the offense and weren’t threatened at all.

Good pic!

Bomber fans: Bridges is the worst, our secondary is terrible! BC Lions: Hold my beer...

He did come into an awful mess though. The WRs, ol, game plan. He didn’t play well but I’m not gonna judge his ability to come off the bench. We do need to replicate week 1 now though.

Bombers gonna be 3rd after Sask wins tonight. Changes required. At this point cuz we got the season series against BC it’s gonna be us vs Sask in the western semi in Sask. and in a hosting the cup year that’s gotta be a fail.

“ Hey Fotty, know what this kid needs for his first start of the year? A pair of wet crocs”

Magic feet my friend. Magic feet.

They also used about a Lawler salary amount to have Mitchell and J. Jones sit on ass.

I hear your pain, but it seems to me that where the team has devolved to is dire enough that there is little to no hope of hosting the Grey Cup. Instead, barring an act of God, the best the Bombers can do is make the playoffs, even if O'Shea and maybe even Walters are canned. There is no point in trying to assess new player talent if they never get a chance to prove themselves in games.

They had talent & let them go after the past few seasons. We never replacd the guys we needed that left. "Everyone's a starter" & "Next Man Up!!" says our Head Coach.. That only works if you have talent & depth. Once you begin starting the scrubs then there is no NMU. It happened to Calgary after 2018 & looks like it'll happen here.

Kolo got $150,000 according to Hodge. https://3downnation.com/2024/01/29/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-centre-chris-kolankowski-to-two-year-extension/#:~:text=The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have,part of his new deal. Can't find a salary on Jake but let's say $120,000. That's $270,000 for the two. Jake's role could be filled with an entry level Canadian or American, so let's say that 40k you could save. A C draft pick would do better than Kolo, for fun let's say they drafted Fortin who starts for Calgary. That's what 70k saved. So between the 2 that's a potential 110 k saved.

we got a biter!

I was thinking about Terry Wilson as well. The glimpse we got of him at last years gc makes me curious to see what he can do with a full playbook and practice as a starter but can’t see that anywhere near on the radar of our coaching staff. I think to them that would admit defeat.

He has been burned on every double move all season. Bites so hard.

He was watching a great play unfold then realized right that guy was his cover as his palms went up as he watched mooseman do his dance.

well...to start they can try the guys they have in house first to see if they make a difference...as dear leader claims "they are all starter quality' and "if they in the building they give us a chance to win" so prove it or STFU and find some who can

This club needs an injection of talent ASAP. No idea on how or who they could get at this point.

Yeah I think if the weeks plan has Strev in it all week...and a week of running it he will be fine...Hogan I think is over his head and can't deviate yet mid stream...let alone make in game adjustments...So not too concerned about that...Plus look what he got to work with...not a heck of a lot JY...I think he needs tthe players to run what he doing...and right now he is probably 4 starters shy of that...and doesnt have the rotational peices...and the couple he does are the ones who shopuld be starting...and one is on the "IR" WJ should be spelling off Person and Vaughters and that should eevate his game if not for any reason pride...and we should be scouring every nook and crannie looking for another end....and a true inside plugger Nose...and dont stopuntil we find it....Bailey needs to be on as well for rotation and development for Korn or Thomas...Even Novack as he is basically redundant to all the LB's we employ anyway....truthfully Thomas and his glue pot should be parked on the 1 game if not cut... Kramdi and T.Jones should lose their starter role..Kramdi as depth...T.Jones with the 1 gane injury....and Ayers..J.Jones...Wilson should work at SAM/Mack with one of Grffin or Parker at SAM. Allen and Woodbey...2 guys who just made plays all camp and in both Pre-season games should be given a shot/look....cant be worse than what we seeing....and no reason at all Shay and Smith should not be seeing the field in rotation considering all the subbing we do....which is another thing...we sub way too much and doesn't let a guy get in a groove or figure out what the guy(s) he going up against is doing and to get an edge Simplify the scheme if need be and run a base of 4 5 different looks and sets and excel in them...then install more...pretty sure thats what CGY has been doing and they been owning teams on defence....plus they play athletic guys...the best ones available to them 3/4 of that easily used elsewhere for a playmaker/impact guy and the other quarter to an entry level guy with upside...or draft pick
