Old Bomber Fan

We need a new web and offensive coordinator. I could throw in a new head coach as well

Wilson catches everything last week and catch catch a cold this week

Does he realize there is a field beyond the line of scrimmage and receivers run there?

Nothing to 82 1 to 10 and collaras isn’t even looking for them. Pierce has his head up his a….. again

Wow another scrimmage line pass when we need 17.

What are we throwing a pass to the line of scrimmage and no blocking?

What was that?

Boy last two calls terrible now he is hurt. Pierce get your head out of your a….

Good start for sure Lee but last two calls were terrible let’s hope it gets better

I may have missed something but here is my take on the Bombers so far this season 1. can't help but believe some starters from last year have come into camp out of shape and not taken part in any of the physical stuff that goes on in camp. 2. 11 starters do not take a snap during the exhibition games 3. RESULT: a. several starters now injured some for the entire season and b. other have had a slow start and complain about not being involved in the game todate 4. This type of start is reminiscent of Joe Mack days were the old boys club dominated which leads me to the coaching staff 5. Oshea has reverted back to the days when he first arrived, poor talent selection for games and that goes back to last year's Grey Cup. He is too loyal to veteran players even those who should know better to show up in shape yet still panders to them 6. Pierce is showing that the offense he has been in control of for the past few years is nothing but a carry over from Lapo's offense and it isn't getting better but more predictable. He play calling leaves a lot to be desired and was only bailed out in the past by a stingy defense. Even an armchair qb like myself can tell you what he is going to try next. The sweeps are a joke; keeping Strevler in the pocket when he could be a dual threat to run or throw out of the pocket is a no brainer to me but I guess I don't know anything. Start out run on first down and pass on second is becoming so routine and very easy to defend. 7. Can't blame Strevler entirely on his performance BUT as a professional football player, one would have thought he would be taking reps with either the fist team or at least scout team during every practice and getting in the throwing reps knowing he is not only the short yardage QB but also the backup unlike other years. They have a third QB who didn't see the field so his purpose is what? And to run Strevler when he is in as a permanent replacement instead of creating what I mentioned in 6 is just looking for more trouble. 8. So in my humble opinion to sum up the Bombers to date; the coaching is terrible, the veterans have yet to play like they are veterans and we are 0 -4. I will go out on a limb as say at this rate, and injuries play a role in this, the Bombers will be 0-8 before they win one. That is a hard pill to swallow for me personally as I have been an ardent fan since 1953. Been through the ups and downs and looks like we are on the down once again. 8.

But we gave them a day off of practice so they would be fresh?? It also shows you how many reps stare Lee gets in practice… nil! I understand they have a lot of players hurt but I see bad coaching, bad prep, and the o line is nowhere near where they should be.

Dah do you think we would be running the ball!come on pierce get your head out of your a..

Can anyone tell me why pierce would have stevler run the ball when the #1 QB is hurt and he is next up?

The secondary coverage is a total joke! They cannot cover anything. With that said there isn’t a lot of pressure so receivers have time. Not sure younger is the man. He may have been a good linebacker coach but think he is over his head. If there is a silver lining the offence showed up so that is a step in the right direction. Die ski is back but Oliver’s nothing close to last year. Maybe next season he will keep himself in game shape while rescuing dogs.

Personally I think the defence is a very weak link. They have trouble stopping the run and cannot cover in the secondary and that is two weeks in a row! The offensive line is nowhere near what it was last year and our running game is nowhere to be seen. I won’t talk about play calling as I have never been a Pierce fan from day one. He doesn’t challenge downfield and these Ricky dink passes are terrible. With that said it is a long season. I did see some improvement from last week but again what was the opposition? We will find out next week

It is very obvious who participated in preseason and who didn’t! Maybe our training camps have become nothing more than expectations and just to see who of the newbies will make the team. The offense is terrible and the secondary is as it was during preseason…,pathetic! Expectations do not win games execution and attention to detail does. Hopefully Pierce and Younger will take these guys to task because if they don’t this will be a very long year! Very disappointed especially when many of the starters didn’t take a down during preseason! It shows

Secondary is a big issue. I know no veterans but they can’t cover anything. There has to be a good review. No one has stood out to me

What a difference in PP. ours just likes to pass it around and look pretty torbshoots the puck big difference. While we have some injuries get pionk and demilo off the PW they stink

The jets have to learn to shoot the puck. This cross ice passing is hurting them

Was just going over some of the threads since the GC and there seems a lot of finger pointing going on. I do agree that Bighill and Schoen should not have dressed. We only had one deep threat and that was covered. Bighill could not perform as he had all year and while he has lost a step he was, lets say sufficient. He couldn't move or run and Montreal took advantage of that. I do agree that there was a lack of rotation on the DL and that caused major problems. The D backfield wasn't all bad and yes there were some missed tackles but to suggest that Rose would have helped us back there, I respectfully disagree. It is my opinion that we lost the game not because of the players but because of the coaching in all aspects of the game of football. As has been mentioned Oshea played people who should not have played. Some who should have played were on the sidelines fresh. Some were hurt and unable to contribute beyond their presence IE Bighill and Schoen. The defense was outcoached. They could not stop Montreal when they were in a hole on not just one occasion but two I can remember. So the defensive play calling was missed. The offensive play calling was terrible. We run the ball successfully in the first half then abandon it. The passes went to a select few only while we have what 5 potential receivers to utilize? Buck has shown throughout his career that he gets locked into something and cannot get out of it when it doesn't work. Our special teams have been a disaster all year and save for Grant on a few occasions it has been bad. We never seem to be able to switch the field in our favour because of the return game of the opponent, whomever it might be. So while players missed assignments perhaps, didn't tackle well, didn't execute as well as we had hoped, had we had better play calling in all phases maybe just maybe a few of those player errors would not have added up to the loss we had. We will have major changes this coming year so hopefully our scouting staff will be able to recruit good players and hopefully Walters will be able to sign Schoen and Olivera as I believe regardless of who is QB these two will be instrumental in our offensive success this coming year.

Out coached without a doubt!

Game over

He has to have more carry time so the coverage time for the defence

Think Pierce needs to smarten up why would you try to run first and 15. Now they know we are going to pass on second down. Not sure we are as prepared as Montreal. Something has to change in this quarter or we lose

What is going on? What was he trying to do give them the game? Giving up a point means a field goal they are in the lead holly crap get your heads out of your ass
