This is a classic trap game for the Als. Bombers got em right where they want em. Yep.

Sorry am I seeing a failed account switch and this is GCn20's sock puppet?

Really if they're going to collapse they should wear brown pants

Why does your posting need to be so negative 😀

Bombers offensive co-ordinator Condell takes accountability for loss to Elks Well that was easy. Problem solved. Get your Grey Cup tickets right meow.

Well, Depends...

Another day is the soap opera that is the Dinwiddie era in Ottawa. Former Ottawa Redblacks coach William Fields rebuts claim he ignored schematic suggestions - 3DownNation

same can and should be said about the HC If he can't see this himself and step in and say/demand something of his subordinates, or take over a bit in the game himself...Or if he does and they dont listen and he just ho hum's it like he usually does on the sideline....then that in itself should be a fireable thing...cause he has zero control and or ability to take it...let alone adjust or making any required changes

We have seen MANY of our cast offs picked up across the league. Not a single one has made an impact anywhere. Sure there are guys cut in EVERY teams TC that probably could be impact players if they had gotten a chance. That is not exclusive to us. You have 3 weeks to assess a 100 guys. Some will slip through the cracks, that's inevitable. That happens to every team ever. Some get picked up by other teams and go on to become stars. Chad Owens, Kenny Lawler etc. The vast majority though, and certainly in our case, of players that cut are cut because they aren't good enough. The overwhelming majority of backups in this league never amount to more than that. That's football.

I wonder why the Riders never signed Corcoran? I wonder if they phoned Walters to see if they could trade for Cobb before they signed the Ti Cat receiver? We have so much Canadian talent at receiver. I'm surprised we're not inundated with trade requests.

Could use an Andrew Greene at guard.

Somewhere Nate is going on a rant referring to him as Special Delivery Jones....

Thanks for sharing. In reading this, I really like how Fields explains his perspective in a very introspective way with no sore loser tone to it and so glad his health has improved.

drew has a good friend who knows my friends' friend who dated his sister and they will text me some useless tripe too...lol

Feel like I need to clarify every post, I'm not pro Osh and the way he coaches this team. I'd have fired him. However, I'm continually confused by some posts (yours, Booch) that seem to defend or absolve Walters of the responsibility for where this team is at. He's as responsible as Osh, if not more, given his role in the hierarchy of pro sports. GM's (team management) hire and fire HC's, and the buck stops with them in terms of talent acquisition, retention, salaries and yes, even roster decisions. Any (good) GM tells (not asks) their coaches when they are upset about talent utilization in all pro sports. Sure there's a relationship balance, but only one of those roles has firing power over the other. So it's not, and should not be balanced. Why do you think the GM and management of the Golden Knights turf coaches every two years or so? Because they can, for any reasons they want from wins and losses, coaching style, player utilization ... The problems for the Blue Bombers are ineffective, questionable coaching essentially supported, or not challenged by the person who should, the GM. Add to that a GM who has really failed in terms of finding and retaining talent, and we arrive at where we are - a below average team who will get bounced first playoff game if they are lucky.

dont care about your opinion actually, cause it's one that is finite in your mind and nobody else with one is credible if it doesn't support you...You attack people in regards to any credibility but why should anyone believe in yours...I won't share actual names and who said what on an open forum...said that umpteen times and why would I...Or anyone for that matter. I share tho in DM's with many here...People whom I trust and or actually know....or who have witnessed it first hand. As for the horse mouth comment I will wait for when @Mike pops in and can relay the same...I dont want an apology or expect one....But prefer if you dont like what I say to just ignore it and keep your whiny pisshole shut about it...You attack pretty much everything I say...said I have never coached and couldn't coach my way out of a bag...or some shinola thing??..whatever that is..Dunno.....dont care....claim to know who and who I dont know...associate with or is in my social circles...Who i train with...or train for that matter, and figure the things I have mentioned in past was some passing comment by someone in a public gym...FALSE...or where u hiding in the yoga studio somewhere spying?...mind you dont know me to see me...Am I black...White...mixed race with a lil latin spice??...Do i still sport a goatee...or did I ever??...Did I go to San Jose State or was it Sacremento State..was I a transfer portal player to Mizzo?..Which school did I work as a Strength and Conditioning coach..when i worked with Buddy Morris in the early 2020's with amatuer football players...where was that...or who is he?....some nice clues there...I bet you can't answer any of that, yet you claim to know so much about me and what I say/claim

and one dimensional Jones...

Smith not starting the year was absolutely holding him and the team back. One of the best lbs and one of the best Canadians. That helps the team in multiple areas.... But instead we trot out the shell of a player Kyrie Wilson every damned game.

I had the same thought. Watch the bombers pull a miracle out of their ass and no problems at all!

It’s about time Atlanta got a hockey team. I don’t know why no one tried it before.

I never said that...funny if you wanna do the wayback thing,..I also said his one deal...yrs..and term before it was even mentioned in press...Guess that was just uncredible...thats just one example...yanking at straws now sir...or ma'am...As i dont know you i shouldn't assume....good advice btw ...I'll just use one corroborator at the moment hey @Mike what do you know about the Woli situation from basically the horses mouth like me...do tell to shut this crybaby Osh defender up, Then after tht maybe he will shut his pisshole about credibilty you think thats the only player struggling with that?...and a reason why they all would be held back....and not just referring to here...get a grip dude...That has zero to do with anything...and is just nonesense and you trying to justify your odd Osh Boner And I'm sorry that you have your disbelief that a person you have no clue about could know things that dont align with your views...Life must been real tough for you in whatever career/life you have lived...I feel for you...truly do....Help is out there thio...Maybe Osh can ease you into your golden yrs...cause thats a thing...right? Tho I think you are already in them?...Dunno...Dont know you so won't assume things...Like you tend to do why bother...smarty pants refuses to see anything other than his warped views....and you will lack "credibility" if it doesn't align with them....fact

That is a fair point. However, just because they don't go to another team and become a star doesn't mean they were given a fair shake here. There are any number of reasons why guys who leave a team might not play for someone else. Again...I feel like I'm just constantly repeating this. Playing football is a two way street. The player has to want to play as well. Smith is great example of this, in his interview with Tait, he said last year was a tough year due to stuff off the field and he wasn't sure he'd want to continue playing. Had he retired, the narrative of a waste of talent/being held back/not being good enough to be a star, would have been about him. Guys decide to stop playing football and it's impossible to tell whether it's lack of interest from teams or lack of wanting to play.

Texada....Singer....Womack....Poncius...Stuart(for Kelly)...Ayers (for Jones) and not just a rep here or there...Buta game or 2...just for a few examples. When have you witnessed them get the chance as a starter...with starter reps all game and be underwhelming? I'd also say Clercius for Nield for a few games too It took Osh 3 yrs to realize Griffen was our best SAM....And if we all being honest here Smith's ass would be stapled to the bench if Griffin didn't get hurt. If..and thats a big if of Griffin getting back any time soon...Is Osh gonna park one of Wilson or Jones and keep Smith starting...He should but who thinks he will? excluding Griffin he has been our best LB all yr...at several spots...He is a ...well should be a starer...from day 1 this yr so yeah he was/is being held back...man what u watching..Are you Osh????

This notion that Smith is being held back is a completely false narrative. He is a second year guy who is gradually and consistently seeing more and more playing time. I agree, he is progressing exactly as one would expect.

maybe our coaching is horrible, and we aren't able to get most outta a guy...Christ we cant get most outta some vets...it's pretty obvious just with in game stuff where we get our lunch stole pretty much every game...That has nothing to do with the G.M...Is Walter's wearing the headset and making the decisions?...Is he seeing the tape in game and making some coaching decisions to stem the bleeding...or questioning the assistants? Did Walter's construct the poor allocation of his assets for game day roster's and give us not the best game lineup?....Does Walters decide to dress at times sometimes 2 DA's which serve pretty much no purpose for rotational depth...let alone adequate backup....Nope....if you cant see the coaching issues, I guess nothing is gonna happen to get you to see it...Osh himself isnt looking at in the moment game fim to see the problems and doing things to counter it. My opinion on that is cause he doesnt know diddly as to how...He even has said he doesnt really know the X and O aspect of a lot of stuff. After 14 yrs what the eff he been doing to make himself, and by extension his team better....Nothing. I also know for a fact after Woli's first contract was coming due he was outta here due to the way Osh coaches....but was talked out of it by some vet players...There are several poster's here as well I know can corroborate that as well if some certain poster's are gonna again attack peoples credibility.....And that specific case isnt isolated...Say what you want about Walter's and the coddling you give Osh, but just cause media says one thing....or guys will tow line in public...dont take it for gospel

Osh needs to get some those from SNL...Ooops I crapped my pants

Yeah. Honestly. I think I saw the O had like 35 net yards the entire 2nd half. That’s pretty bad. Like worse than hogan bad. Pretty tough to blame the D when they give up like 2 tds and 3 fgs. Thats a pretty solid game for any D this season. 22 points. Yeah. The O is garbage for sure. Don’t need stats to show that either but 35 yards is a stat nobody should have in 1 half of football.

Easy to say, "Blame me..." Then what, if nothing changes??? How the blinkety blank did Osh win 130 games????

Seems they've found a way to utilize spent breeding broilers.

he’s been in otts front office for a few years now

I will drink two giant glasses of milk in her honor tonight....

They collapsed because they were wearing those stupid blue pants again

Oh Dolly- one of the absolute best humans.

Emilus went down again last game , didn't look good possibly long term and with Schaefer-Baker out long term this might prove to be a good move by them. Harris seems to like these tall receivers. Wish we had picked him up and at least gave him a chance.

Oh look, a CFL team trying to improve it's receivers Not us, though. We just sign linebackers.

Maybe in the first couple of weeks. He was also injured and missed a game or two early. But he was involved very early on. There's just plenty of examples, so no need to shoehorn in an actual example of talent winning out and earning a spot on the roster and pretend he was being held behind for too long.

So I guess the thesis here is statistically, the Bombers are poor in high leverage situations? Last game was bad for that stat (2nd and long conversion rate) for the Bombers, Elks were 6/11 and the Bombers were 1/7... but Football is such a low event game you are for sure going to remember the plays with the negative outcomes. Look at the 4th quarter... play #104, Fajardo gets 14 yards on 2nd and 10 to the 27, Elks are driving into the end zone after scoring 16 straight points (and the Bombers don't have a 1st down in the second half at this point); incredibly un-clutch. But wait, 3 plays later 2nd and 11 Fajardo gets flushed by the d-line and coughs up the ball, the boys locked in and came up with the clutch turnover. Bombers proceed to do nothing with it (again un-clutch but on the offense this time) and give it back to the Elks with a 2 and out and with a short field Fajardo dips and dunks it into the 30 for the go ahead field goal. Bombers finally get a first down but then Collaros arm punts it down to the 7. Short run by Rankin gets a 2nd and long and the Bombers force an incompletion 2nd and 8 to get the offense the ball back inside the 3 minute warning (again, very clutch). The Bombers burn a whole 62 seconds getting the tying field goal. Elks have 1:41 to win the game and probably the most frustrating play here is the 2nd and 3rd when Rankin catches the ball at the 40 with 4 Bombers between him and the first down, and Woodbey just goes flat footed and then Major Williams just kind of inexplicably blows up BOO (note: not the ball carrier at this point) and Rankin sneaks through all those bodies for 16 yards... and Ceresna (not one of the 4 games in the picture at the time of the catch) is the one who chases him down. And then 2nd and 10 the defense plays it pretty well and Luther catches it at the 43 (well short of the first down) and Moxey just whiffs on the tackle and instead of Blanchard kicking a 50 yard field goal (which is still inside his range) he is now kicking a 40 yarder which is much easier. If the Offense could have done almost anything more than the... 5 net yards they got after that 2 and out we are probably talking about how the defense bailed out the offense after that disaster class of a 2nd half. It's probably useful data that of the 4 games so far this season where the winning team had less than 25 points, 3 of them involved the Bombers. There is really no reason for me being argumentative about this other than I deal with Statistics quite a bit and the overall... attitude in general towards them is always quite amusing. If you want to use statistics to make the Bombers defense as currently constructed seem underrated, we can probably do that. If you want to use the same statistics to show that the Bombers beating the RedBlacks twice were the 2 games in 100 that should have happened we can probably show that as well.

Yeah, Jeffcoat was the best player on D many times, and it usually wasn't even close.

Woodbey doesn't move or process quick enough to fill any roles they've tried him in yet. Put him down at contain end and maybe he'll be ok. Otherwise put someone out there who might make a play. So many chances 1 on 1 with Rankin last week and Woodbey lost all of them. Never gets to the ball in coverage.

Great news for Jets fans Kelly Hrudey's replacement on Calgary Flames broadcasts h...It appears that Sportsnet has already chosen a replacement for Kelly Hrudey on Calgary Flames regional television broadcasts.

FFS, now this: The wrong 80 year olds are dying.

2nd down play calling was... Questionable at best in the second half 2nd and 4, BO gets them second and manageable and Demski tries to run it up the middle but ends in a 3 yard loss 2nd and 10 after a 16 yard down field incompletion that Collaros sailed and it's a sack 2nd and 4 after a short pass to Wilson on their own 22 and Collaros launches a 37 yard bomb to Wilson that leads him out of bounds 2nd and 8 after the most telegraphed run ever, which Willson had called out before the snap and it's a short pass to Nield who turns it up field for a first down! 2nd and 10 two plays later and Collaros launches it 50 yards down field for a pick 2nd and 9 after Collaros got flushed on first down and a sack and the Bombers don't see the ball again

No need to use hyperbole to get your points across. It wasn't something ridiculous like 35, it was 14. You more than doubled it! Drives went 3 yards, -8 yards, 1 yard (this might be 6 yards because the game stats seem conflicted if the time count counts), 13 yards, and 5 yards. 2 first downs if you are keeping track at home, at 5:12 and 2:43 in the 4th quarter
