Not even a little bit.

I don't give a spit about who Lawler replaces, if this comes to pass. We need to fix the goddam o-line or everything goes for poop. I did not like Buck's playcalling for most of the second half, but if Collaros keeps getting sacked, not only will we lose the next game but also his services for the rest of the season. If Walters hasn't called O'Shea in on the carpet or O'Shea hasn't blistered Pierce and Hall, we are going to have repeat performances.

Hopefully Haba isn't too dinged. Really like having him in that DE rotation...

Centre isn’t about locking a man down. It’s about picking up blitzes, stunts, getting the line set, making adjustments, switching off guys and helping the guards with their man. When a nose lines up in the centre, their job isn’t to get to the qb. It’s to either draw a double or push the centre back into the QBs lap. You mess up the QBs release point and throwing lane that way. It’s far more valuable than a pressure. The difference between a nose winning and losing a rep vs a C is the difference of a couple yards. If the C is behind where he started out, that’s a pretty good indication that the C has lost the battle. He would probably be a serviceable guard on a few teams. Though he doesn’t exactly have the mobility for zone run stuff.

Prob cause Rose and Parker are gonna be good to go....

Hate the loss. Love the shirt.

They are selling "Crumback" t-shirts for $35

I am definitely missing something and am not being shitty here, I just don't get it... I've been watching the oline especially close lately because I keep hearing again and again how Kolankowski is a problem. All I usually see in pass pro is him locking his man down while Neufeld and Gray get beat. Is he supposed to be doing more to help these 2 in pass pro? Is that why he sucks? Or is it his run blocking that sucks? I just don't know what to think, especially when the PFF scores consistently rate Kola as our #1 or #2 olineman every week while Gray especially is waaaay at the bottom of the rankings. Hard to trust my eyes, backed by the stats, wheb everyone here says that Kola is the biggest issue on the oline... help me out

if we were to pull a shitacular epic flop like that...glad it was to Ott and Dyce and in their barn for their fans to be honest...any one else and I'd prob have kicked myself in the junk if I could have...I over it now....we were gonna lose 2 games this yr anyway...and was banking on 4....so we have 2 mulligans left....if we tweak and fix a few minimal things...light up the Elks this week and head into the bye knowing what we need to Do...I'm saying now we host the WF

He's also money right up thru the safety down the middle of the field for deep and intermediate shots....I bet we see a total different look to the offence now he back...U have to remember we prob had a huge install of plays based on him out there, and it's had to been shelved...till now....

And they haven’t been the only team to do that to him this year.

Team loses when ball security is an issue! More at 11!

Call the Kopps! Redblacks find new qb!

It's time to put our loss to the mighty RBs behind us and focus on Jones' winless E(l)ks. Yukon Cornelius getting starting reps in Edmonton. Time for Eli at Centre? Time to see what Dobson can do at RG?

Good thing they aren't easing him back in.

HOLY ****!!!!!

Eli, along with superior centre skills, would also bring some nasty back to our OL that has been missing lately.

For me, “Kyrie healthy” is more a hope than an expectation.

not a culture...the kids are all playing nice in the play pen...its more a matter of who is being let out into the yard to play....

Surprised about Muhammad. Maybe he wanted a chance to play. Was hoping they'd give him a look. Too bad.

This. 100% this. I love that Lawler is back and agree that he should not only provide a bit of a safety blanket for Collaros but will help open things up for others .. that said, his insertion into the lineup means sweet **** all if we can't give our QB time and keep him upright. We shortened a great quarterback's career by not protecting him property (Khari) I do not want to see the same thing happening to Zach.

The dumbest people.

That should be the main focus. It doesn't really matter if we have KL in the line up, if Zach doesn't have time to throw.

Good for them. Have to find ways to market their team. We do the same.

in all seriousness tho...whats the reason for not doing it....thats the bigger question

This is how the Calgary defense was 2 weeks ago when we beat them. On the field for most of the 2nd half, and almost the entire 4th quarter. McCrae got nothing going for the Bombers on kick off/punt returns. Offensive play calling was an absolute mystery, given that we couldn't run the ball. O line was porous like it was against Calgary/BC. Anyways, like many of Bomber nation, I really hope some changes are coming in. Guys need to earn their spots every week.

We should be making a change on the OL for example but MOS likely doesn't. Or Lawson starting and taking more reps than Jake. Using Jeffcoat as a designated national so you can use him, Jefferson and Habba more.

It's all a Con.

factor in that the defense was on the field for 22 minutes in second half...one could assume they were right gassed...and it showed with the sloppy 4th quarter in particular tackling...thats a dead sign of players on fumes....and that falls on the offence sucking and not sustaining drives

He threw another 2 TDs that were flat out dropped. He can't do everything himself.

He may not actually realize it, cause of his experience in life, but Trump’s legal problems are real, and very serious. Absolutely it is jail if he is convicted. Pretty clear now, they are not kidding around, the decision on him has been made. Even the judiciary appear to be sick of him.

All I hope for is a better performance by the O on Thursday. Need that to give the defense some rest so they can be the game winners that they have been.

And machino some how out lasts another proven cfl vet. Not to mention ivy Schmekel and schmitz. The real question is why weren’t more guys cut from the pr lol.

I can use my Scotia Debit card like a credit card.

I really hope so....but honestly. How many times just this year has something like this been said? lol.

better now to work kinks out then in late sept

Lawler back will totally open things up for Sheed and Schoen....U know that DC's game plans will have 2 guys go to Lawler especially out of the waggle when he looks to be running anything with depth thru tje center of the filed for a post...fade...or go....and thats gonna open up a hell of a lot of room for those guys...and oh yeah...there is still Demski to deal with under neath...or when they are pulling guys out on deep shots....will be interesting what Buck draws up now, and almost makes me think we have been playing coy the last few weeks, cause the team knew this was gonna be wrapped up for this week. You have to know that if they use Lawler and Schoen in intermediate and deep routes...theres is gonna be acreage available in the area 20 yards outside line of scrimmage...who is gonna hold their safety in to take that awayand allow both those guys to roam free one on one down the field....2 guys who are proven deep threats and yac machines?...

I disagree. The talent in the center of that oline is the problem... the fact that the ALLCAPS defensive line was in his face all night, sacking him, and those hits after Zach tossed the ball all add up... that's why Zach was off his game. So in a way, you're right, Zach's focus was elsewhere.

With Lawler back, hopefully with less coverage, Schoen will be allowed more freedom to do his thing.

The 6 game experiment with Agudosi established little, as Buck failed to integrate him into the passing game in the time allotted to do so, without the opportunity of injury replacement I think he slips back to the PR and eventually off the team in FA. Too bad, I think he could have become something special, if they would have focused on it even a little bit.

Why the heck would Lions trade their experienced backup to a division rival? It could be a possibility IF BC sucked this year.

Yup Buck and Collaros need to be smarter in that scenario. Unacceptable. Especially for a team with our pedigree.

Nothing is getting changed on a short week with one practice. I expect Lawler in and not much else except for injury-related moves.

Tale of two halfs. They got absolutely caved and couldnt get a stop when we needed it the entire 4th quarter. Not to mention the gawd-awful tackling display all second half making Crum look like Michael Vick circa 2006.

Offense will get a nice boost! But D needs to give their nuts a tug. I fully expect an Elks ass-slapping Thursday. If we lose......There will be blood.

The Elf's are good for what ails any team. The sky really is falling if we lose to them.

Interesting choice of jersey

There was one hit he took late and came up limping a bit. That should be all the wakeup call anyone needs.

Loyalty to Collaros above all. Highest-paid player and without him we're ******. If you can't protect him, you can't see the field.

I have to admit to a completely different viewpoint on Osh's style. He doesn't need to change his personality or attitude or whatever you want to define it as. The idea of the 'ass-kicking coach' frankly is antiquated. That is a quick way to burn bridges and get fired. He treats his players with respect and asks the same in return. There is a reason why people speak so highly of the team culture here. Nobody this far into a professional career - coach or player - should need fear as a motivator. In fact I believe it was Buono who said something like his job wasn't to motivate the players, but to get rid of the ones who need to be motivated. It's that sense of brotherhood that will help teams get through tough times, in my opinion. This team has some big issues that need to be fixed. They've also been the best team in the league by a decent distance the past few years. It was inevitable that they would come back to the pack a bit as players age and other teams improve.
